Mike Marteny's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for Saturday (12/7/24). His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.
We only have one college football slate left that is larger than this one (December 28). Let's enjoy these before they get smaller and more difficult to navigate. We start off with the Battle of the Bricks Part 2 in Detroit for the MAC Championship. We get Iowa State and Arizona State from Jerry World as well.
Next up is the SEC Championship between Texas and Georgia in Athens West (Atlanta). We have Marshall in Lafayette to take on the Cajuns in the Fun Belt final. SMU heads to Charlotte to take on Clemson. We close the night in Indy with the Big Ten (18) final between Penn State and Oregon.
In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/7/24, locking at noon 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
Rocco Becht, Iowa State ($7.6K)

The pass attempts are up because the running game -- or lack thereof -- is a problem for the Cyclones. My theory is the volume will yield solid results even against a good defense because Becht doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He has only turned it over once in the last three games. He also does just enough on the ground to give him a little more upside. He's Iowa State's short-yardage back.
Kevin Jennings, SMU ($6.9K)
There is upside for Jennings here after watching what LaNorris Sellers did against Clemson last week. I understand they are different players, but Jennings is elusive enough to make problems for the Clemson defense as well.
Jennings has completed at least 66% of his passes in four straight games. He has also thrown for at least 290 yards in three of those games. Couple that with the rushing potential and Jennings could be in for a big night.
Brett Gabbert, Miami (OH) ($6K)
Gabbert managed to stay healthy this year and he has the Redhawks on the verge of a conference championship. His three passing touchdowns in the first game against Ohio inflated his stats a bit, but even if you take away one of those, his numbers will still be good enough for this price range.
Also consider: Cade Klubnik, Clemson ($9K); Sam Leavitt, Arizona State ($7.3K); Braylon Braxton, Marshall ($7.1K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Cam Skattebo, Arizona State ($10.3K)

— Brad Denny (@BDenny29) November 24, 2024
Iowa State has more problems with speed than power, but Skattebo will easily be the most powerful back they have faced this year (sorry Kaleb Johnson). Skattebo has gone over 140 rushing yards in five of the last seven games. He has scored six touchdowns in the last two games.
Arizona State leaned on him down the stretch and he responded. That won't change, no matter what Iowa State tries to do to stop him. Win or lose, Skattebo is going to have a good game.
Trevor Etienne, Georgia ($6.5K)
Etienne hasn't played since the Mississippi loss in Week 11 but is expected to play in this one. He had his best game of the season against Texas in Austin. If Etienne is healthy, he could be a steal at this price. If Etienne doesn't play, pivot to one of the Texas backs.
Zylan Perry, Louisiana ($3.6K)
He will still split carries with Bill Davis, but there should be plenty of carries to go around. Marshall is allowing 189.25 rushing yards per game this season. Four of the last six opponents have gone well over the 200-yard mark.
The run game is the strength of this offense. I'm not even opposed to using both backs in this one. Despite splitting carries last week, Perry still ran for 150 yards. There's a lot of potential here.
Also consider: Brashard Smith, SMU ($8.2K); Nicholas Singleton, Penn State ($6.6K); Keyon Mozee, Miami (OH) ($4.5K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Tyler Warren, Penn State ($7.7K)
Tyler Warren is the greatest TE to ever do it at Penn State
— LandonTengwall (@landon_tengwall) November 30, 2024
Michigan's Colston Loveland had a big day against Oregon about a month ago. Warren is even better than Loveland. Oregon is going to get after Drew Allar, which means he'll need Warren as a safety valve. Penn State looks to get him the ball in any situation. I expect a big game out of Warren here.
Antonio Williams, Clemson ($6.4K)
Clemson needed a receiver to step up down the stretch and Williams answered the call. Williams has at least five receptions in each of the last five games. The yardage isn't always there, but he has scored five touchdowns in those five games. He's by far Clemson's greatest receiving threat.
Reggie Virgil, Miami (OH) ($4.8K)
Virgil has at least 11 DraftKings points in every MAC game this year, including 12.9 in the first Battle of the Bricks. He has also caught at least one touchdown in every MAC game. Virgil is about as sure of a thing as you can get at this price.
Roderick Daniels Jr., SMU ($4K)
Daniels has been the most-targeted receiver since RJ Maryland went down. This is a deceptively balanced offense and Jennings has a better arm than most people think. I'll be running Daniels a lot at this price.
Also consider: Jayden Higgins, Iowa State ($7.5K); Jaylin Noel, Iowa State ($6.5K); Javon Tracy, Miami (OH) ($5.5K); Lance LeGendre, Louisiana ($4.5K); Jake Briningstool, Clemson ($3.5K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Louisiana
Again, I don't know that a full stack is a good idea on this slate. However, Louisiana has a great matchup and is fairly priced. Bill Davis, LeGendre, and Zylan Perry are all worth using. Chandler Fields has closed the season strong and most will ignore him with Rocco Becht around the same price. The Cajuns are affordable leverage and let you put a couple of stars in your lineup.
Also consider: Oregon, Miami (OH)
