DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Week 12 Daily College Fantasy Football - Saturday Main Slate (11/19/22)

Bijan Robinson - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Mike's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the Saturday Main Week 12 (11/19/22) slate. His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.

We have another huge slate with 14 games going on for the main slate. There are some big ones on here! We get started with TCU heading down I-35 to Waco. Indiana heads to East Lansing. We have more Big Ten(14) flavor with Illinois in the Big House and the battle of interim coaches when Wisconsin visits Lincoln.

The afternoon starts with Wazzu heading to Tucson for a strange 2pm eastern kick. K-State heads to Morgantown at the same strange time. Same for Houston in Greenville. A half-hour later, we have the Irish hosting Boston College. The normal 3:30 kicks feature Georgia in Lexington where Vanderbilt just won. Miami heads up to Clemson. Texas heads to Lawrence to try and get revenge on the Jayhawks. The Pack head west to Louisville. Ohio State heads to Maryland. We close it out with Penn State heading over to Piscataway to take on Rutgers.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/19/22 locking at noon 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

Jayden de Laura, Arizona ($7,900)

You can pay up for Stroud. You might get five touchdowns out of him. You might get two. Maryland is much weaker against the run and the Buckeyes aren't going to jeopardize anyone going into the Michigan game. This is just cardio for them, so I'm saving my money. Yeah, Arizona doesn't really have anything to play for, but they truly seem to relish their role as spoilers. They threw a wrench into the Pac 12 race with the upset of UCLA and look to do the same to Washington State, de Laura's old school. de Laura has cleared 24 DraftKings points in six of nine games. He should do so again.

Jalon Daniels, Kansas ($7,500)

Daniels was spotted warming up before the Texas Tech game but was eventually held out. It seems as though Kansas is leaning towards using Daniels this week against the Texas team in which Kansas signified their turnaround last year when the upset the Horns in Austin. It's going to be rowdy in Lawrence for this one. Texas wants revenge, but I'm old enough to remember just what Daniels did to Texas last year. I will have some exposure in case he does it again.

Will Howard, Kansas State ($6,400)

There is no guesswork with this one. Adrian Martinez has already been ruled out for this one. It's all systems go for Howard, who has 73.68 DraftKings points in his three appearances this year against TCU, Baylor, and Oklahoma State. All three of those teams are better than the one he faces today. Howard feels grossly underpriced and should at least flirt with 30 fantasy points in this one. I'm a huge Howard fan this week.

Holton Ahlers, East Carolina ($6,200)

Go peep the stat lines of the last two quarterbacks Houston has faced. Tanner Mordecai threw for nine touchdowns and ran for another on the Cougs. Freshman E.J. Warner threw for 486 and three touchdowns last week. Ahlers is as talented as both of those guys. He has slate-breaking upside against the Houston "defense" in this one.

Also consider: C.J. Stroud, Ohio State ($9,600); Clayton Tune, Houston ($8,100); DJ Uiagalelei, Clemson ($7,100); Quinn Ewers, Texas ($6,900); Payton Thorne, Michigan State ($6,000); Jacurri Brown, Miami(FL) ($4,500)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Bijan Robinson, Texas ($9,100)

TCU locked down Robinson last week. He only tallied 29 yards on 12 carries, which is just unacceptable for Texas. It was Robinson's lowest output since the 2020 Oklahoma game when he was the third-string back. I expect Robinson to be good and mad in this one. Kansas has allowed 1,087 rushing yards in the past five games alone! Oklahoma, Baylor, and Texas Tech all went for over 250. We know how good this Texas running game can be. I expect a monster from Robinson here.

Deuce Vaughn, Kansas State ($7,400)

Oklahoma was able to run on the Mountaineers last week and Eric Gray is no Deuce. Vaughn has 15 catches in the last two games alone, further adding to his appeal. He has produced no matter who is taking snaps for the Wildcats. I have no issues with Howard as the starter. Vaughn has 120.2 DraftKings points over the last four games. He'll be fine.

Keaton Mitchell, East Carolina ($7,100)

SMU didn't score much on the ground when they hung 77 on the Cougars a couple of weeks ago, but they still had success as far as yards go. Mitchell has been running hot anyway. He has four straight games of more than 100 rushing yards and has scored seven of his 10 touchdowns on the season in that span. ECU might not hang 70, but 50 is a real possibility.

Nakia Watson, Washington State ($3,800)

The Cougars have finally found a productive back. Watson has 36 carries for 282 yards and four touchdowns over the last two games. This is the blue-light special on DraftKings this week. We have to use him to afford Bijan, but we'll get different elsewhere. I promise. We can't ignore this value in any format.

Also consider: Blake Corum, Michigan ($8,500); Keaton Mitchell, East Carolina ($7,100); Braelon Allen, Wisconsin ($7,000); Devin Neal, Kansas ($6,400); Kaytron Allen, Penn State ($5,600); Kyle Monangai, Rutgers ($4,900)

 

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Nathaniel Dell, Houston ($8,200)

Dell is third in FBS with 85 receptions and fifth in yardage with 1,017. His 13 touchdowns? Second. He is in the top five in every significant category against a team that has had trouble controlling the passing game all season long. I trust Tank more than any other player on this slate. He may not have the upside that Bijan does, but his floor is MUCH higher. Lock in Dell in cash games. He even has enough upside for GPP usage in this game.

Zay Flowers, Boston College ($6,900)

This is a game where BC promises to be trailing again, but what has me intrigued about Flowers besides his world-class speed is what he showed against a good NC State defense last week with Emmett Morehead as the starter. Flowers hauled in seven passes for 130 yards from Morehead and has caught four touchdown passes from him in two games. Whereas Jurkovec has problems finding Flowers, that affliction doesn't seem to affect Morehead. Zay could close the season really strong over the next couple of weeks.

C.J. Johnson, East Carolina ($6,200)

Isaiah Winstead sees more targets, but Johnson is more explosive. He has topped 100 yards in two of the last three games, one of those against a good Cincinnati defense. Houston's defense is nowhere near good. Johnson's nine touchdowns lead the Pirates by a large margin. He's going to score in this game. The only question is: how many times?

Samuel Brown, Houston ($4,200)

It's easy to be overshadowed by a guy like Dell, but being overshadowed by Matthew Golden on DK is just ridiculous. Brown has at least five receptions in five of his six games since cracking the lineup and has scored four touchdowns in the last four games. This is going to be another high-scoring affair. Brown on the cheap allows us to stack every stud in this game.

Also consider: Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State ($7,700); Quentin Johnston, TCU ($7,100); Xavier Worthy, Texas ($6,500); Trey Palmer, Nebraska ($6,400); Chimere Dike, Wisconsin ($5,900); Jayden Reed, Michigan State ($5,600); Julian Fleming, Ohio State ($5,000); Ja'Tavion Sanders, Texas ($4,500)

 

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. Just look at Alabama-Tennessee in Week 7. That game made several DFS players a few thousand bucks. Who can do that this week? Let's check it out!

Houston at East Carolina

The only pieces of this game I won't touch are the Houston backs. It's a committee backfield and they don't catch a lot of passes. The only problem that we run into here is that we can't use both quarterbacks, Tank Dell, Winstead, C.J. Johnson, Keaton Mitchell, and Samuel Brown in the same lineup. That only leaves $3,000 left for the last RB slot. If Samuel Brown was still getting carries for Rutgers, I might take that chance. If you really want to run all of those pieces in a large-field GPP, the only one I would even consider at minimum price is Wisconsin's Chez Mellusi. There's a chance he suits up this week and if he does, he's a solid backup to Braelon Allen. Otherwise, you'll have to fade one of the ECU pieces. I would use Tune/Tank/Brown in all Houston/ECU stacks.

Texas at Kansas

These teams combined for 115 points in Austin last year, so this game is also in play. Jalon Daniels will likely play, and though Quinn Ewers has struggled a bit on the road, I don't mind using him here for the price. Bijan Robinson is a must-play, as is Xavier Worthy. The Kansas pieces are a little more tricky. Devin Neal is worth a look. None of the Kansas receivers are consistent, but Lawrence Arnold has big-play ability. Both tight ends are ways to get great exposure to this game and still pack in another stud in the flex or super-flex if you don't use Ewers.

Honorable Mention: Washington State at Arizona, Indiana at Michigan State
