DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Late Saturday Slate (9/6/25)

Mike Marteny's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the Saturday (9/6/25) late slate in Week 2. His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.

I love these late slates, especially early in the season. We see some very interesting matchups on these slates at this time of year. Who's burning the midnight oil with me? These are some of the easiest slates to make money! Don't quit on me now!

We do have one FCS school on here, but some explosive offenses in BYU and Washington to go with a very interesting Hawaii offense. Their run/pass ratio is very close to 70/30 in the early going.

In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the late DraftKings slate on 9/6/25, starting at 10:15 pm Eastern. I’ll give multiple player suggestions for players at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, aiming to highlight one option at the salary scale's high, middle, and lower end. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks

Demond Williams Jr., Washington ($8.6K)

Washington win against Colorado State.

If we had clarity on the Micah Alejado situation, I would use him. That will be a competitive game. This one likely won't be, but Williams should still put up some good numbers before becoming a cheerleader.

Even if it comes out that Alejado will start, I'm not sure I want to mess with that situation. If he's going to continue to play hurt, it will only take him longer to get healthy. It's unfortunate because he is fun to watch and he clearly wants to play, but why jeopardize his long-term availability?

I think I like Williams at the top either way. He is a known commodity, and we know he's going to play about three quarters. Alejado may not last that long, even if the plays.

Bear Bachmeier, BYU ($6.8K)

We don't know what Stanford's run defense is going to be like because Hawaii only ran to keep the Cardinal off balance. In comes a run-first offense that ran for 468 yards against Portland State. Bachmeier didn't get a lot of yards against Portland, but the touchdowns are what's important anyway. He's not scoring five touchdowns on Stanford, but two or three isn't out of the question.

Also consider: Caden Pinnick, UC Davis ($6.5K); Jaxon Potter, Washington State ($6.3K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Jonah Coleman, Washington ($6.9K)

Washington RB Jonah Coleman started off the season strong

Like Williams, Coleman will likely not play the entire game. He will still get 12-15 carries, and that should be enough to put him over the century mark. We probably need at least one score out of Coleman, but that shouldn't be too much to ask in this matchup. Coleman's upside isn't all that high, but he's still a strong play.

Alton McCaskill, Sam Houston ($4.6K)

McCaskill was the leading rusher for the Bearkats in Week 0 but was held out last week with an undisclosed injury. We still don't know what was ailing McCaskill or if he will play this week, but he is listed on the two-deep depth chart behind Elijah Green.

Green has been outcarried in both games, but he is more active in the passing game. Sam Houston's passing game is in flux right now. I hope we have some clarification on McCaskill's status before kickoff because this is a dream matchup.

The bad news is that this game kicks an hour later than the rest. We either have to fade this entirely or leave enough cap space to move up to McCaskill (if he plays) and play Landan Brown at $3.4K if he doesn't. The situation isn't ideal, but it could win you a GPP.

Also consider: LJ Martin, BYU ($7.1K); Lucky Sutton, San Diego State ($5.1K); Micah Ford, Stanford ($4.4K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Pofele Ashlock, Hawaii ($7.1K)

Ashlock was less productive against Arizona, but that was to be expected. He was also less productive with Luke Weaver at quarterback, which is more than a little concerning heading into this week.

The fact is that Ashlock has 15 receptions through two games. He doesn't have big yardage numbers yet, but those will come. I'm using Ashlock here because of the high floor due to PPR scoring. However, if Weaver starts, I'll rethink this.

The problem is the same as the one we have with McCaskill. This game kicks later, and we're faced with the prospect of leaving money on the table -- in this case, a lot of it -- trying to maximize lineups for players who may ultimately be ruled out.

Jackson Harris, Hawaii ($5.5K)

One thing that we haven't discussed is that Hawaii's QB room is deep. Weaver isn't a lock to start if Alejado is ruled out, as for who else would...your guess is as good as mine. However, we can take the guesswork out by using the receivers instead.

As with Ashlock, Harris was bottled up against Arizona. Some of that has to do with Arizona. The rest was due to Weaver. The conundrum is the same. Only the names are different.

Ashlock and Harris could be huge if anyone other than Weaver starts. Are we willing to possibly destroy our lineups waiting on news? Well, that's what they have GPPs for.

Jeremiah Noga, Washington State ($4.2K)

Washington State's offense didn't look great last week, but this isn't your older brother's San Diego State team. The defense did look better, but in all fairness, I watch entirely too much college football...and I didn't even realize that Stony Brook had a team.

The Aztecs beat up on a nobody to try to convince everyone that they are better than last year. I'm not sure they are. Noga is the least risky piece of the Washington State offense. He caught five passes last week, making him a relatively safe play.

Also consider: Denzel Boston, Washington ($6.8K); Chase Roberts, BYU ($6.6K); Aviyon Smith-Mack, Sam Houston ($4.1K); Jacob Bostick, San Diego State ($3.6K)

DraftKings CFB Stacks

Washington

This game is going to be a blowout, so it makes the stack a bit harder. That said, Williams, Denzel Boston, and Coleman are still good plays. Those players are going to be heavily involved in this game, getting out of hand.

Adam Mohammed was a good piece of the Washington offense, and would be a solid pick once Coleman is done pounding UC Davis for the day.

Sam Houston

Everyone knows this Hawaii defense isn't very good. The issue is that several Sam Houston offensive pieces are up in the air. The only truly safe plays are Green and Brown. The problem is that McCaskill could be an elite play if he's healthy.

Mabrey Mettauer outplayed Hunter Watson last week, and that depth chart still has a dreaded "OR" on it. It was stated that Mettauer would play in Week 0, and he barely did. This is a volatile situation. Watson is less risky, but has little upside.

As for the receivers, Sam Houston doesn't pass much and spreads the ball around. To make matters worse, it also varies depending on which QB is in the game. The only truly safe option is Aviyon Smith-Mack, but Qua'Vez Humphreys was the leading receiver last year.

Also consider: BYU, Hawaii (GPP only)
