Mike Marteny's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the Saturday (11/29/25) evening slate in Week 14. His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.
There's not much better than the prime-time slate in Rivalry Week. We have the Commonwealth Cup from Charlottesville. Maryland heads to East Lansing to take on Sparty. The real action gets started a little later with the Iron Bowl from Auburn. The Battle for the Victory Bell gets underway at the Coliseum.
Next up is North Carolina, heading to Raleigh to take on the Pack. Northwestern is in Champaign for the Land of Lincoln Trophy. We close this out with the heated rivalry of SMU in Berkeley to take on the Bears. Yes, I' being sarcastic.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the evening DraftKings slate on 11/29/25, starting at 7 pm Eastern. I’ll give multiple player suggestions for quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers, aiming to highlight one option at each end of the salary scale, from the highest to the lowest. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Chandler Morris, Virginia ($8.2K)
Morris looked mostly healthy against Duek, but was still a little rusty. This is one of the most important football games in Virginia history since they'd be heading to the ACC Championship game with a win.
The week off before the rivalry game should allow Morris to heal up and shake the rust off. Remember what Morris did against Stanford and Florida State? The ceiling is that high in this game as well.
Kyron Drones, Virginia Tech ($7K)
Virginia has struggled a bit against mobile quarterbacks. This is it for Drones since Virginia Tech won't make a bowl game. I expect to see him come out and lay everything on the line.
We're playing Drones for his rushing ability. He's turnover-prone and not a great passer. He hasn't had over 200 passing yards since September 20. We're hoping he runs for 80 and scores a couple of touchdowns, making him a GPP-only play.
Gio Lopez, North Carolina ($5.8K)
It's another dream matchup for Lopez. he has had a few of those lately. Lopez picked up 19.9 DraftKings points against Syracuse and 22.2 last week against Duke. If he can get near 20 again at this price, it's a win.
Also consider these QBs:
- Jayden Maiava, USC ($9K)
- Ashton Daniels, Auburn ($7.6K)
- Kyron Drones, Virginia Tech ($7K)
- Malik Washington, Maryland ($6.6K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
J'Mari Taylor, Virginia ($8.6K)
133 yards ✔️

This is what happened the last time Taylor took the field. The North Carolina Central transfer only needs 83 yards to secure the first 1,000-yard rushing season for Virginia in seven years. He should get that against the Hokies.
Taylor has topped 30 DraftKings points in two of the last three games. The encouraging part is that he and Chandler Morris both had successful days against Duke. This offense is finally back to the unit that took down Florida State and Louisville.
TJ Harden, SMU ($7.5K)
Harden gets to attack a Cal defense that has allowed 156 rushing yards per game and 21 touchdowns on the ground in 11 games. Cal's pass defense has been good. The way to get after them is on the ground.
Caleb Komolafe, Northwestern ($6K)
This is not a great matchup for Komolafe, but Northwestern isn't going to change who they are in a rivalry game. The Wildcats' season turned around when they moved to Komolafe as the starter against UCLA.
Komolafe has at least 20 DraftKings points in three of the last four games. The only game in which he missed the mark was against Michigan. That can be forgiven. Komolafe is getting at least 18 touches in this game. I'll always take that volume at this price.
Also consider these RBs:
- King Miller, USC ($8.4K)
- Hollywood Smothers, North Carolina State ($7.2K)
- Elijah Tau-Tolliver, Michigan State ($5.8K)
- DeJuan Williams, Maryland ($5.7K)
- Daniel Hill, Alabama ($4.5K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Jacob De Jesus, California ($7.5K)
WALK-OFF WIN FOR THE GOLDEN BEARS 💛🐻🔥
Cal goes for the win in OT and Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele hits Jacob De Jesus on 4th down for the game-winning score! Ice-cold call. @CalFootball | @CalAthletics | #GoBears | @cpisecurity pic.twitter.com/0CLU16TFO6
— ACC Digital Network (@theACCDN) November 9, 2025
Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele has supreme confidence in De Jesus. He caught 16 passes three weeks ago against Louisville and caught 14 last week against Stanford. In another game where Cal is going to be playing from behind, expect another double-digit reception game from De Jesus.
He doesn't get a ton of yards as the slot receiver, but on a PPR site like DraftKings, De Jesus will put up a ton of points just on receptions. That keeps the floor high even if the ceiling is a bit lower.
Germie Bernard, Alabama ($6.7K)
Ryan Williams had a pedestrian game in the Iron Bowl last year. It was Bernard who did the bulk of the damage. Bernard had seven receptions for 111 yards against Auburn last year. It's going to be a close game, and big plays are going to decide this. Bernard is the most explosive player on the field.
Jordan Hudson, SMU ($6K)
I know that the way to attack Cal is on the ground, but we can't ignore what Hudson has done through the air. Hudson has 75.6 DK points in the last three games alone. SMU isn't going to run the ball the whole time. They'll take some deep shots to Hudson.
Chrishon McCray, Michigan State ($4.3K)
McCray scored both touchdowns against Iowa last year and hauled in a season-high six passes. Maybe the Spartans should have been looking for McCray earlier in the season. He could close the season strong against Maryland.
Also consider these WRs:
- Makai Lemon, USC ($8.7K)
- Cam Coleman, Auburn ($6.3K)
- Griffin Wilde, Northwestern ($5.8K)
- Trell Harris, Virginia ($5.4K)
- Trond Grizzell, California ($4.4K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Virginia vs. Virginia Tech
The Virginia offense isn't particularly explosive, but it does rack up yards methodically. There is more than one way to DFS success. With a four-man Virginia stack, we can get the production of most of the offense without breaking the bank.
It all starts with Taylor and Morris. They are the run game, and many lineups will anchor with those two and leave the receivers out. That's where we can get ahead. Trell Harris and Cam Ross both get a good number of targets.
Jahmal Edrine is the wild card for Virginia. He has only caught five passes in the last three games alone, but he was big in October. To me, he's too much of a risk. However, if you're the type that likes to run a five-man, Edrine is your fifth.
SMU vs California
Kevin Jennings hasn't played that well lately, and hasn't supplemented his output by running the ball this year. However, I think there's success to be had in the air after Cal tries to stop Harden.
Adding Jennings and Hudson, along with Romello Brinson, adds so much more to just Harden. Derrick McFall is an intriguing fifth option as Harden's backup. RJ Maryland hasn't been nearly as involved as last year, but he has come on lately.
Also consider these stacks:
- Michigan State
- Alabama (GPP only)
- USC (GPP only)
