Mike Marteny's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the Saturday (10/11/25) late slate in Week 7. His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.
We are back to a proper late-night slate this week with four games on tap. Arizona State's Sam Leavitt is doubtful to play against Utah, so that will shake things up a little bit.
The slate starts in Boise with New Mexico in town. Next up is Arizona State, with a journeyman quarterback in Salt Lake City to give the Utes their first conference home win. Next up is San Diego State in Reno to face the Pack. We end in paradise with Utah State facing Hawaii.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the late DraftKings slate on 10/11/25, starting at 9:45 pm Eastern. I’ll give multiple player suggestions for players at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Micah Alejado, Hawaii ($8.4K)
Micah Alejado vs. Air Force:
🌈 457 passing yards
🌈 3 touchdowns
🌈 74.5% completion
🌈 87.4 PFSN College QBi Score
🌈 4th Ranked QB in Week 5 pic.twitter.com/GCo1fQhfcn— Oliver Hodgkinson (@hodgkinsonsport) September 29, 2025
Alejado had his second career 450-yard game against Air Force before the bye week. Utah State's pass defense has picked off five passes already, but they have also given up a lot of yards to offenses that like to pass.
Hawaii throws more than any team in the country. We may see a couple of passes picked off, but Alejado likely flirts with 400 yards again. His ankle is finally healthy again. Alejado could win us some late-night money.
Bryson Barnes, Utah State ($7.6K)
Barnes has rushing upside that quarterbacks at this price don't often have. He has 245 rushing yards in five games this year with six touchdowns on the ground already. Barnes was shut down by Vanderbilt, but in the two games before that, he amassed 580 passing yards and five touchdowns.
Hawaii's pass defense has been solid this year, but they won't be able to contain Barnes and his rushing ability. He still picked up 22.2 DraftKings points against Vanderbilt. He could break the slate against Hawaii.
Carter Jones, Nevada ($4.5K)
The San Diego State defense is tough, but Jones is starting at minimum price. The Chubba Purdy era is mercifully over in Reno. He threw eight interceptions with just one touchdown pass in five games.
Jones completed 11 of 15 passes against Fresno in relief last week for 121 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Jones should be around 200-250 yards here. We just hope the interceptions don't destroy the yardage total.
Also consider these QBs:
- Maddux Madsen, Boise State ($7.9K)
- Jack Layne, New Mexico ($6.8K)

San Diego State had two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver last week. This offense is more potent than it has been in at least the last 15 years. The rushing attack has always been a strength, but now they have a passing attack to go with it.
Sutton has rushed for at least 60 yards in every game this year and has five touchdowns in five games. Nevada's run defense has been decent, but I trust Sutton to get his. The numbers are solid, but the Pack has allowed 1.7 rushing touchdowns per game.
Landon Sims, Hawaii ($6K)
Hawaii doesn't run the ball much, but Sims has 19 receptions in five games. That's four free points even without the yardage! Hawaii may not run much, but he has 59 carries on the season. The rest of the team (minus quarterbacks) has 53 combined.
Damon Bankston, New Mexico ($3.7K)
The usage of Bankston is ridiculous for the price range. He has at least 10 touches in each of the last three games. Scottre Humphrey is the starter, but Bankston has arguably been more productive in fewer touches.
His low mark for DK points in the season was 6.6 against New Mexico State. That's a nice floor for this price range.
Also consider these RBs
- Raleek Brown, Arizona State ($7.9K)
- Javen Jacobs, Utah State ($5.7K)
- Caleb Ramsour, Nevada ($4.8K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State ($6.9K)
Tyson has been outstanding all season, with at least 18 DK points in every game. The bad part is that he will not have Sam Leavitt throwing to him in this game.
I still think Tyson will be the overwhelming favorite target of Jeff Sims, but I'm not sure Sims is good enough to get it to him like Leavitt does. The price isn't prohibitive, and I still think Tyson is a must in cash games.
Maybe you can do better in a GPP, but keep in mind that Tyson has 39 of the team's 99 receptions and has at least one touchdown in every game. He's going to be involved no matter what.
Jordan Napier, San Diego State ($5.8K)
Napier has exploded in the last three games, notching 22 receptions for 359 yards and both of his touchdowns on the season. He even has six carries for 28 more yards! The Aztecs are going to feed him the ball as much as they possibly can.
Jackson Harris, Hawaii ($5.6K)
Pofele Ashlock comes into the game with a questionable tag due to an undisclosed injury. We likely won't know much about Ashlock (if anything) before the rest of the games start, so I'm riding Harris.
He has been enough of a factor even with Ashlock on the field that he's not a liability if Ashlock still plays. If Ashlock is out and most didn't go to Harris beforehand, we could be in for a monster night from Harris.
Dallen Bentley, Utah ($4.2K)
We know that the Utah passing game under Kyle Whittingham has always featured the tight ends. Bentley is no exception. He has 22 receptions (second on the team) and 246 yards (also second). Bentley also leads the team with three touchdowns through the air.
Also consider these WRs:
- Pofele Ashlock, Hawaii ($6K)
- Ryan Davis, Utah ($5.7K)
- Braden Pegan, Utah State ($5.4K)
- Brandon White, Hawaii ($4.7K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Hawaii vs. Utah State
This could be a little tougher stack with the game starting 90 minutes later than everyone else. There are a lot of questionable tags on Hawaii receivers, so I feel like many will avoid this entirely. Or they will just play Alejado and Harris.
If you're a nocturnal creature, this is where you shine. You can run Alejado, Sims, Ashlock, Harris, and Nick Cenacle. If it turns out that Ashlock and/or Cenacle are out, you can easily pivot to Brandon White and run Pegan from Utah State as the other receiver.
San Diego State vs. Nevada
The Aztecs' offense is firing on all cylinders right now. Nevada's defense has been pretty good this season, but I still trust what I've seen from the Aztecs more. Most entries will have Lucky Sutton alone, but I see a full five-man stack working out.
It starts with Jordan Denegal and Sutton. We also need Byron Cardwell Jr. after his huge performance before the bye. Jordan Napier is the receiver you want, but Donovan Brown has emerged as a reliable second target along with him. I would say no entry will have a five-man SDSU stack.
Also consider these other stacks:
- Boise State
- Utah State
- New Mexico (GPP only)
