Mike Marteny's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the Saturday (11/8/25) evening slate in Week 11. His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.
The evening slate is at seven games, but we have some interesting ones on here. Cal heads to Louisville to see if we can have some more ACC chaos. Florida State heads up to Clemson. Wake is in Charlottesville to see if the Cardiac Cavs can get another win.
We head out west to Logan with Nevada taking on Utah State. Navy is in South Bend to take on the Irish. LSU heads to Tuscaloosa to try and play spoiler. We end in Lexington with Florida in town.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the evening DraftKings slate on 11/8/25, 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
Blake Horvath, Navy ($8.8K)

That was Horvath last year against Notre Dame when the game was still close. The Irish ended up running off with it, but Horvath still threw for 88 yards and ran for 129 with that touchdown.
That's a little under what we would like, but Notre Dame's defense isn't as good as last year, especially against the run. If Navy can keep this game close, Horvath could put up some really big numbers. He has at least 20 DraftKings points against every FBS team Navy has played.
Bryson Barnes, Utah State ($8.3K)
We'll pay this because Barnes has big rushing upside. Nevada's pass defense has been solid, but the run defense has allowed 153.9 yards per game. Barnes has had two games over 40 DK points this year. He even broke 50 against McNeese. It's safe to expect him somewhere in the 30s for this one.
Carter Jones, Nevada ($6K)
Jones hasn't really had a good game yet, but he has still been better than Chubba Purdy. Utah State allows 258.3 passing yards per game this year, which is 119th out of 136 FBS teams. If not now, then when? If not now, then Nevada probably needs to move on to the third-stringer.
Also consider these QBs:
- Ty Simpson, Alabama ($9.2K)
- Tommy Castellanos, Florida State ($8.5K)
- CJ Carr, Notre Dame ($8.1K)
- DJ Lagway, Florida ($6.9K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame ($9.5K)
64 days until Notre Dame at Miami...
64 yards to the crib for Jeremiyah Love in the Fighting Irish's 51-14 rout of Navy last fall. Easy.pic.twitter.com/C4ZiKiwzN0

Love has 16 carries for 142 yards and two scores in his career against Navy. He hasn't run more because the games haven't stayed close. If you're using Love here, you're hoping that Navy hangs around. If that happens, Love could actually be a bargain.
Eli Heidenreich, Navy ($6.7K)
Interestingly, Heidenreich is in the running back pool, but we'll play him no matter what they call him. Heidenreich has at least five carries in all but the Air Force game. You remember that one, right? Heidenreich set a school record with 243 receiving yards in that one.
He has no fewer than two receptions in any game, further increasing his value...and increasing my belief that he is, indeed, a wide receiver. Let's not label Heidenreich. We'll just appreciate all of the production.
Keyjuan Brown, Louisville ($6.1K)
Isaac Brown is going to be out for a while, which is all we've got from the Louisville brass. We have no idea what that means, but we do know that we have to switch Browns in the Louisville run game.
Keyjuan has back-to-back 20+ DK points games, and that was with Isaac in. Duke Watson is also ready to go, but Keyjuan will get most of the carries.
Also consider these RBs:
- J'Mari Taylor, Virginia ($8K)
- Jadarian Price, Notre Dame ($6.6K)
- Demond Claiborne, Wake Forest ($6.2K)
- Miles Davis, Utah State ($5.6K)
- Caden Durham, LSU ($4.7K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Chris Bell, Louisville ($7.3K)
With Isaac Brown out, we could see Louisville go to the air more often. This isn't a team that passes a lot, but Bell has at least four receptions and 50 yards in every game. That's a nine-point floor. We can do much worse.
Micahi Danzy, Florida State ($5.9K)
We mentioned the consistency of Castellanos earlier, which means consistent production for his favorite receivers. Danzy hasn't been under 7.2 DK points in a game this year, and has topped 20 twice.
We saw what Duke's passing game did to Clemson last week. There's a lot of upside for Florida State's passing game as well.
Braden Pegan, Utah State ($5.6K)
Pegan has topped 20 DK points in back-to-back games for the Aggies. This is another solid matchup against Nevada, so another 20-point game is not just possible, it's likely.
Trey'Dez Green, LSU ($4.9K)
I didn't have LSU's top receiver of 2025 being a tight end. We know the receivers that are on this team, but Green is the only consistent pass-catcher for the Tigers. He has 19 receptions for 247 yards and three touchdowns in three games since his return.
Kendrick Law, Kentucky ($3.7K)
Law is the only bright spot on this Kentucky offense right now. He has 40.5 DK points in the last two games alone. If Kentucky can't find Law in the passing game, they'll get it to him on the ground. The offense is committed to getting him touches, which is unusual for a guy in this price range.
Also consider these WRs:
- Ryan Williams, Alabama ($7.1K)
- Antonio Williams, Clemson ($6.8K)
- Duce Robinson, Florida State ($5.8K)
- Chris Barnes, Wake Forest ($5.1K)
- Vernell Brown III, Florida ($4.8K)
- Jordan Faison, Notre Dame ($4.6K)
- Tre Spivey, Arizona ($3.1K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Utah State vs. Nevada
At first glance, it looks like the Bryson Barnes show in Logan. That's not entirely true. He throws a lot more than people realize. Barnes is an elite play, and there are several ways to run a stack around him.
My preferred way is to use Davis, Pegan, Broc Lane, and Brady Boyd. That gives you most of the Utah State offensive production. Against Nevada, I would consider leaving out Boyd and adding Javen Jacobs instead. Utah State is going to bleed the clock once they get ahead, which should be early.
Florida State vs. Clemson
The Seminoles lead FBS in yards per game, and Clemson gave up 46 points to Duke last week. Like Utah State, there are a couple of different ways to stack the Seminoles, but it all starts with Castellanos.
Gavin Sawchuck is the only safe back, but Danzy, Robinson, and Randy Pittman Jr. can all be used in the passing game. Samuel Singleton Jr. is the wild card if you want another back, but I'm sticking with three receivers.
Also consider these stacks:
- Notre Dame
- Louisville (GPP only)
- Alabama(GPP only)
