The fun doesn't end with the main slate! It never does, right? We have a heavy prime time slate this week with nine games on the docket. How great is that? The 7pm kicks include Texas in the Little Apple. That rarely ends well for the Longhorns. BYU heads up to Boise to party with the Smurfs. Then we have the big elephant in the SEC in Death Valley...at night.
A half-hour later finds Auburn in StarkVegas with cowbells as background music. Clemson heads up to Indiana to take on the Irish. Arizona heads up into the mountains to see if they can throw a scare into Utah. FSU heads down to Miami to take on the floundering Hurri-cants. Michigan takes their ground game east to Piscataway for a nice demonstration. We close out with Wake in Raleigh to take on the Pack. This is going to be great!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/5/22 locking at 7 pm eastern. 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.

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Adrian Martinez, Kansas State ($8,100)
Martinez warmed up before the Oklahoma State game and has practiced all week, so it's expected that he will start this game. That said, any injury flare-up or poor performance could result in a Will Howard sighting considering how well he played with Martinez out. There is no lock as the top of the QB charts on this slate with Cam Rising still having no injury status. Martinez, if he's right, could have a huge game considering his rushing ability. If he's out, it's an easy flip to Will Howard.
Jayden de Laura, Arizona ($7,700)
Young doesn't provide much of a ceiling against a team like LSU where the money is made on the ground. The ceiling is with de Laura. Arizona promises to be behind early and often again. We have seen de Laura clear 380 passing yards in four of the last five games while the Wildcats play catch-up. He has 16 touchdowns to four interceptions in those games. The Utah defense has allowed over 220 passing yards in every Pac 12 game and has only picked off one pass in the last three games while allowing 10 touchdowns. There is potential here.
Taylen Green, Boise State ($6,300)
BYU has been torched by Arkansas and Liberty, both of whom have dual-threat quarterbacks like Green. Boise has opened up the playbook for Green of late. That should continue against a BYU defense that has been gouged, especially on the ground. We could see huge numbers from Green on quarterback runs alone!
Also consider: Bryce Young, Alabama ($9,000); Jordan Travis, Florida State ($8,000); Will Rogers, Mississippi State ($7,600); Quinn Ewers, Texas ($6,200); MJ Morris, North Carolina State ($5,400)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Blake Corum, Michigan ($7,700)
Jim Harbaugh has decided to showcase just how embarrassing the riches are in the Michigan backfield over the past few games. Teams can't stop Corum or Edwards and he is just letting them go. Corum has at least 25 touches in every conference game for Michigan while running for at least 120 yards in each of those games. He has seven rushing touchdowns in conference play (after he put up five in one game against UConn). The floor is higher on Corum than any other back, and with the way Michigan is running the ball, the ceiling is very high too.
George Holani, Boise State ($7,300)
BYU has allowed at least 200 rushing yards in five straight games and in six of the last seven. Holani has rushed for more than 100 yards in three straight and four of the last five. It gets worse for the Cougars: They have allowed at least 6.2 yards per carry in each of the last three games. There are acres of yardage to be gained on the ground against BYU. If it weren't for Corum and Michigan running so much, Holani would be my favorite play on the entire slate.
Jo'quavious Marks, Mississippi State ($5,200)
I like Marks more if Dillon Johnson is out, but Mississippi State basically uses their backs as wide receivers anyway. Marks has double-digit DraftKings points in every game this season because he has 32 receptions in eight games. That's a lot of free points. The Bulldogs just played the stingy defenses of Kentucky and Alabama in back-to-back weeks. They should put up better numbers against Auburn.
Josh Williams, LSU ($3,500)
I know the Alabama defense is good, but Williams is the lead back for LSU and has been for two games now. It's ridiculous that he's priced this low. Williams has 182 yards on 31 carries while adding four more receptions and a touchdown over the last two games. He's not going to break the slate, but he should still hit double digits. For this price, that's a huge bargain.
Also consider: Bijan Robinson, Texas ($8,900); Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama ($8,300); Tank Bigsby, Auburn ($5,600); Donovan Edwards, Michigan ($5,400); Ashton Jeanty, Boise State ($4,500)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Dorian Singer, Arizona ($6,800)
Cowing gets more of the attention, but the main reason that Arizona has hung with both Washington and Arizona is Singer. He has 13 receptions for 240 yards and four touchdowns in those two games. Only Oregon has held him under 80 receiving yards since Week 2. If you've read my stuff at all over the last three years, you know I'm a big fan of Cowing. Right now, Singer is the better play and he's significantly cheaper.
Michael Mayer, Notre Dame ($6,500)
Mayer leads the team in receptions. That definitely won't change here. Drew Pyne needs this security blanket if the Irish are going to be able to move the ball at all. Mayer is certainly not a ceiling play here, but he should have a high floor just on receptions alone against Clemson.
Ja'Corey Brooks, Alabama ($6,000)
The Tide have been searching high and low for a playmaking receiver on this team. They may have found it in Brooks. He has nine receptions for 163 yards in the last two games and four touchdowns in the last four games. There is no Alabama receiver that can break a slate this year, but Brooks is reasonably priced for his recent target load.
Malik Knowles, Kansas State ($4,800)
Knowles got double-digit targets for the first time this season and topped 100 yards for the second time in three games against Oklahoma State last weekend. That means Knowles was being targeted by Martinez before he got hurt and continued to be the favorite receiver of Will Howard. I like Knowles more if Howard ends up playing, but his price is still very reasonable no matter who is throwing to him.
Also consider: Jacob Cowing, Arizona ($8,000); Puka Nacua, BYU ($6,300); Rara Thomas, Mississippi State ($5,600); Kayshon Boutte, LSU ($5,100); Camden Brown, Auburn ($4,200); Kade Warner, Kansas State ($4,000); Ja'Tavion Sanders, Texas ($3,600)
College Football DFS Game Stack Options
You know which team stacks are often good, but this isn't baseball. Game stacks can and do work. I prefer more team stacks on this slate, but there is some goodness in one of these games for sure. Which one is it?
Arizona at Utah
Arizona's offense has been keeping them in games and Utah's defense isn't as strong as we think. If Cam Rising plays, he needs to be viewed as a lock along with de Laura. I wouldn't pay the price for Bryson Barnes if he starts. There are better options, including de Laura, that are cheaper than he is. Utah's depth chart is again in flux at RB. Whoever starts is worth using with Arizona's Michael Wiley. We've been over Cowing and Singer. They are must-plays. Tetairoa McMillan is worth a look as well. On the Utah side, it looks like both Brant Kuithe and Dalton Kincaid will be out. If that's the case, Thomas Yassmin should start at tight end and see plenty of targets. If Kincaid is in, lock him in your lineups. I don't trust any Utah receiver. I would use both TE over a Utah receiver.
Honorable Mention: BYU at Boise State, Auburn at Mississippi State
