Mike's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the Saturday Late Night Week 13 (11/26/22) slate. His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.

I want to thank all of you insomniacs and college football lunatics who just can't get enough DFS who stuck with me for all of these late-night slates this year. It was a blast! We get to finish off our last late-night bender of the season with a small but mighty slate. Are you ready?

We start off in Pullman with the Apple Cup and finish off in the Bay Area with BYU heading into Palo Alto. How's that for a grand finale? Three Pac-12 teams and BYU. I'm happy with it!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/26/22 locking at 10:30 PM Eastern time. I’ll provide 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.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks

Michael Penix, Washington ($8,000)

Colorado was the only team to "hold" Penix under 300 passing yards (okay, he had 298 against Oregon State...I'm rounding up) and it's only because he didn't play the whole game and he really didn't need to throw. He will have to here. Wazzu is going to make the Huskies work for this one. Penix has slowed lately. He hasn't thrown more than two touchdowns since his Week 7 for the ages against Arizona. He might have to here. Washington State's run defense is a strength.

Cameron Ward, Washington State ($6,900)

Ward is earning that "game manager" tag. He hasn't thrown more than two touchdown passes since Week 5 and has only thrown more than one twice since then. He picks up some good yardage on the ground and maybe a touchdown here or there, but his ceiling remains pretty low. Ward is a strong cash game play if you're using two QBs and he's a way to get contrarian, but you're taking a big risk and will have to make up ground elsewhere.

Also consider: Jaren Hall, BYU ($8,300); Tanner McKee, Stanford ($6,000)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Christopher Brooks, BYU ($6,000)

Lopini Katoa still takes some carries, but Brooks appears to be the "lead" back, at least for now. The hamstring that kept him out for a month wasn't bugging last week, so can we expect Brooks to get the double-digit carries that he was before the injury? I think so. Katoa only had double-digit carries once with Brooks active.

Nakia Watson, Washington State ($5,500)

Watson is still too cheap. He racked up 25.6 DraftKings points on Arizona last week and got a decent price hike, but that was his lowest output since he became the starter three weeks ago. He's still at least two grand underpriced, which is nice if we want to run Penix and Hall in the same lineup.

Also consider: Wayne Taulapapa, Washington ($6,200); Mitch Leigber, Stanford

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Rome Odunze, Washington ($6,800)

I'm not putting any stock into that Colorado game. Washington was running everything vanilla because they didn't want to give anything away for the Apple Cup and they wanted to get their stars some rest. I expect Odunze to be back to his normal 7-10 receptions and flirting with 100 yards and maybe scoring a touchdown.

Puka Nacua, BYU ($6,600)

The Cougars use Nacua all over the field. He has 152.5 DraftKings points over the last five games alone, scoring seven touchdowns in that pan and getting 16 carries out of the backfield. That part of his game may go away with Brooks back, but the fact that he out-carried Katoa against Utah Tech is interesting. At the very least, Nacua has the safest floor among receivers.

Elijah Higgins, Stanford ($5,300)

Tanner McKee has been inconsistent at best, but Higgins has carved out a nice role for himself. He has at least six receptions in four of the last five games and finally found the end zone for the first time since Week 5 last weekend. He is definitely trending upward...just in time for the end of the season.

Also consider: Jalen McMillan, Washington ($6,700); Renard Bell, Washington State ($6,100); Benjamin Yurosek, Stanford ($5,100); Robert Ferrel, Washington State ($5,000)
