Mike Marteny's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the Saturday (10/25/25) evening slate in Week 9. His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.
We are back down to seven games on the evening slate, and this is also the nightcap. There's no late-night tonight with only one West Coast game. This is what the cannibalization of the Pac-12 took away from us. We used to be a proper country. We begin with a little Fun Belt flavor with Arkansas State hosting Georgia Southern. Stanford heads to Miami to get Hurricaned.
Next up is A&M in Red Stick to take on the Tigers in Death Valley at night. Boston College heads to Louisville for the running of the Cardinals. It's the battle for Paul Bunyan in East Lansing. The Bring Back the Beer Barrel Bowl between Tennessee and Kentucky kicks off in Lexington. We end this in the desert with Arizona State hosting Houston.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the evening DraftKings slate on 10/25/25, 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
Miller Moss, Louisville ($8.5K)
After a bit of a slow start, Moss has come on lately for Louisville. It's very reminiscent of Tyler Shough for the Ville last year. Moss has at least 23 DraftKings points in each of the last three games -- all against ACC opponents.
He only threw for 248 yards against Miami, but Moss didn't turn it over and scored three times. It was his third straight game with three touchdowns. There's a lot of upside against a bad Boston College defense.
Marcel Reed, Texas A&M ($7.6K)
Marcel Reed was Texas A&M's highest graded player against Arkansas, per @PFF_College
Reed posted his best offensive grade of the season and second highest offensive grade of his career (82.3) ‼️

We are going to see something more from Marcel Reed with Le'Veon Moss out. Reed scored on the ground once last week. It should be more this week. His coming-out party was last year against LSU.
Since then, Reed has become a much better passer. He still needs some polish on the deep ball, but he may not beat the LSU corners deep anyway. This is a tougher matchup against LSU, but Reed can take advantage of it.
JC French IV, Georgia Southern ($7.1K)
What's the use of having the Fun Belt on here if we aren't going to take advantage of it? French has 67.2 DraftKings points over the last two games alone! He makes plays on the ground and through the air. Arkansas State can't stop it from either place.
Also consider these QBs:
- Sam Leavitt, Arizona State ($8.7K)
- Carson Beck, Miami (FL) ($7.8K)
- Bryce Underwood, Michigan ($7.4K)
- Cutter Boley, Kentucky ($6.9K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Justice Haynes, Michigan ($8.1K)
There is no official word yet, but I would think that Justice Haynes plays this week. He warmed up with the team last week before sitting out. Sherrone Moore said that he thought Haynes would be available, but again, nothing official.
This is a good matchup that Michigan can control on the ground. If Haynes can't play, Jordan Marshall becomes a must-play option again.
OJ Arnold, Georgia Southern ($6.1K)
Arkansas State has allowed 205.3 rushing yards per game. Only five teams have allowed more. JC French will take some of the work away from Arnold, but Arnold should still see around 15 carries. Against that defense, that should take him over 100 yards and put him in the end zone.
Rueben Owens II, Texas A&M ($5.7K)
Owens is getting the lion's share of the carries with Le'Veon Moss out. That will likely be the case going forward. In three games without Moss, Owens has 55 touches. It's going to be slow going against LSU, but you can't argue with the volume.
Also consider these RBs:
- Isaac Brown, Louisville ($7.1K)
- Kenyon Clay, Arkansas State ($5.8K)
- Caden Durham, LSU ($5.6K)
- Cole Tabb, Stanford ($4.8K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Chris Bell, Louisville ($7.1K)
Fastest College Football Players of Week 8
T3️⃣ 21.5 mph - Chris Bell (@ChrisBell_3) WR Louisville #ReelSpeed

— Reel Analytics (@RAanalytics) October 22, 2025
It's almost unfair for Bell to be that fast at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds. Boston College is a good run-stopping team, but they can't handle passing quarterbacks or big receivers. They are going to face both tonight.
Camden Brown, Georgia Southern ($6.3K)
Brown has 297 more yards and five more touchdowns than any other receiver on this team. Georgia Southern doesn't throw a lot, but when they do, it's going to Brown...and he's going to town.
Trey'Dez Green, LSU ($4.9K)
Green was barely on the radar for LSU receivers in the preseason. Now he's the leading receiver for the Tigers in October. Green has 13 receptions for 193 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the last two games. He has a touchdown catch in all three games that he's played in this year.
Amare Thomas, Houston ($4.6K)
I can't believe that the price is still this low on Thomas. He has at least 15 DK points in four straight games. Thomas has two 100-yard games in that stretch and three touchdowns. Houston is a run-first team, but when they do throw, Thomas is usually on the other end.
Jaren Hamilton, Arizona State ($3K)
With Jordyn Tyson out, someone needs to step up at receiver for Arizona State. Chamon Metayer catches a lot of passes at tight end, but the next-best WR has just eight catches.
Hamilton caught three passes for 101 yards last week, a couple of those with Tyson out. He seems to be the guy that Leavitt will look for, with Tyson unable to play in this game.
Also consider these WRs:
- Corey Rucker, Arkansas State ($6.6K)
- Malachi Toney, Miami (FL) ($6.1K)
- Mario Craver, Texas A&M ($5.5K)
- Chris Brazzell II, Tennessee ($5.2K)
- Mike Matthews, Tennessee ($4.7K)
- Chamon Metayer, Arizona State ($4.4K)
- Lewis Bond, Boston College ($3.7K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Louisville vs. Boston College
Boston College funnels the offense to the air, so I suspect many will stack Moss with Bell. I am adding Caullin Lacy to my stacks, along with Isaac Brown. It will be slow-going on the ground for Isaac Brown, but with Duke Watson out, Brown has been more active in the passing game.
There are no other options worth taking this stack beyond four players. If this turns into a blowout, some bench player will have a good game. Good luck predicting which one.
Georgia State vs. Arkansas State - Game Stack
These are two of the five worst rush defenses in FBS. OJ Arnold and Kenyon Clay have some of the best upside on the slate. Both quarterbacks (JC French IV and Jaylen Raynor) are run threats as well.
It feels to me that most will stop there with the game stack, but both teams have alpha receivers as well. Corey Rucker for Arkansas State and Camden Brown for Georgia Southern lead the teams in receiving by a long shot.
Hunter Summers will be a low-owned piece for Arkansas State that has at least 12 DK points in four of the last five games if you want to add to this stack in GPPs.
Also consider these stacks:
- Miami (FL)
- Michigan (GPP only)
- LSU (GPP only)
