This is our last big slate of the year, and to be honest, it's quite depressing. We still have a monster 14-gamer, so I'm going to enjoy the last one for the next 9+ months. Yes, college football is too short, but expanding the playoffs isn't the answer either. It will destroy all of the fun that we're having in the regular season!
We start off with Clean Old-Fashioned Hate in Athens. We can't top that, but we do have South Carolina in Clemson, West Virginia in Stillwater, CCU at James Madison, and FAU hosting the Hilltoppers also in the noon kickoffs. We also have The Game in the noon slot. Perhaps you've heard of it. We start off the afternoon with the Governor's Cup in Lexington. In the normal 3:30 time slot, we have the Iron Bowl from Tuscaloosa, The Civil War from Corvallis, the Oaken Bucket game from Bloomington, and the battle for Paul Bunyan's axe from Madison. We're not done yet! A half-hour later, we have Utah in Boulder and TCU trying to complete an undefeated regular season against Iowa State. We close this out with Michigan State in Happy Valley. Not bad, huh?
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/26/22 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
Spencer Sanders, Oklahoma State ($7,900)
Sanders threw a staggering 67 passes in Bedlam last week as the Pokes were down 28-0 early. He also carried the ball 17 times, so he seems to be fully healthy. If he is, Sanders could be in for a huge game against West Virginia. He was putting up 30's with regularity before he got hurt. The ceiling on Sanders is high enough for top billing considering the tough matchups for the expensive quarterbacks on this slate. However, Stroud still had a strong game against Michigan last season. It could happen again.
Austin Reed, Western Kentucky ($7,700)
Reed's numbers are roughly half of what Bailey Zappe put up in Bowling Green last year, but that doesn't mean the numbers are bad. What is bad was the showing of FAU's pass defense last week. They allowed 448 to Chase Cunningham last weekend, so this could be a huge spot for Reed. Reed has thrown 49 or more passes in five of the 11 games this season. If he gets anywhere close to that in this game, he could be one of the best values on the slate.
Garrett Greene, West Virginia ($6,800)
I knew that when the Mountaineers replaced JT Daniels with Greene in the second half against Oklahoma that we were in trouble. I was right. Greene threw for 138 yards and ran for 119 more while accounting for all three WVU touchdowns in the game. He backed that up with a solid 28.06 DraftKings points in his first career start against Kansas State. He has a high ceiling against a maligned Oklahoma State defense in this one.
Todd Centeio, James Madison ($5,800)
If the name sounds familiar, you pay attention to quite a bit of college football. Centeio was the quarterback at Temple before transferring to the Dukes. Centeio's numbers have taken off this year. He has at least 20 DraftKings points against everyone not named Louisville. Coastal Carolina is not named Louisville, so Centeio should be relatively safe in this one.
Also consider: C.J. Stroud, Ohio State ($9,200); Max Duggan, TCU ($8,100); N'Kosi Perry, Florida Atlantic ($7,200); Dexter Williams, Indiana ($5,900); Spencer Rattler, South Carolina ($5,700)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Mohamed Ibrahim, Minnesota ($7,400)
Go ahead. Doubt Ibrahim's ability to run on anyone. He piled up 263 on Iowa last week, a team that was in the top 20 in run defense prior to the game. Ibrahim hasn't been under 100 rushing yards in a game since November 30 of 2019, a span of 19 games. He won't be here either. There is no more sure thing than Ibrahim on any slate. You can likely find more upside for GPP's, but with all of the injury designations ahead of him, why bother?
Chris Rodriguez, Kentucky ($6,200)
Don't be put off by his line against Georgia. Many players have struggled against Georgia. Rodriguez is not alone. Let's focus on his games against Vanderbilt and Missouri, both solid defenses in their own right. Rodriguez went for triple digits on both of them. He scored Kentucky's only touchdown on Tennessee and nearly hit 200 against Mississippi State the week before that. Rodriguez is a steal at this price.
Dallan Hayden, Ohio State ($5,400)
Is Hayden Miyan Williams or TreVeyon Henderson? No, probably not. However, he has over 100 rushing yards in each of the last two games with those guys banged up. Henderson was spotted in a walking boot on Monday and it has been hinted that if Williams plays that he won't be at full strength. Look, this is as much gamesmanship as anything else and it really sucks for us because we aren't going to have official news before kickoff. That said, I would be shocked if Henderson plays and Hayden will still get a decent workload. If we get news that he's the lead back, he's a steal, even against Michigan.
Damian Martinez, Oregon State ($5,200)
That's five straight 100-yard rushing games for Martinez. He also has five touchdowns in that span, but they have only been scored in two different games. Still, Martinez is too cheap for what he does. This could be more of a grind against Oregon than most are expecting. If it is, that favors the Beavers in general and Martinez in particular. He's a good play regardless that might end up being great.
Also consider: Blake Corum, Michigan ($8,500); Will Shipley, Clemson ($6,700); Tavion Thomas, Utah ($6,100); Kaytron Allen, Penn State ($5,900); Jaden Nixon, Oklahoma State ($5,400); Jawhar Jordan, Louisville ($5,200); Larry McCammon III, Florida Atlantic ($4,800)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Charlie Jones, Purdue ($7,800)
Jones has scored a touchdown in each of the last two games. With as bad as Indiana's pass defense has been this season (272.7 yards per game, 28 touchdowns in 11 games), Jones could have a game like he was putting up early in the season. The Purdue offense has sputtered at times, but this is the place for them to get going again. Indiana will hang with them, but it will be the offense that is the catalyst, not the defense.
Malachi Corley, Western Kentucky ($7,300)
Corley averages 7.5 receptions per game, so you're getting a lot of points on the floor without even taking into account yardage and touchdowns. I expect the Hilltoppers to throw the ball around like MTSU did last week until FAU proves they can stop it. They didn't last week, and likely won't be able to here either.
Braydon Johnson, Oklahoma State ($6,400)
Well, what do you know? When Sanders returned, Johnson went back to his target-hogging ways. He hauled in seven passes in Bedlam last week for 109 yards and also had a 17-yard rush. He likely finds the end zone this week as the Cowboys try to finish the season strong. When Sanders went down, things went astray, but the Pokes still have a shot at a good bowl game.
Daniel Jackson, Minnesota ($4,700)
Jackson has had nearly half of the passing yards from Athan Kaliakmanis so far. Don't get too excited...it's still less than 200 yards in 2.5 games. That does show that Jackson is easily the most preferred receiver. Minnesota is going to have to turn him loose a little at some point. On the chance that it happens here, I'll have some exposure for the price. For cash games, I like Noel better.
Also consider: Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State ($8,200); Xavier Hutchinson, Iowa State ($8,000); Dalton Kincaid, Utah ($6,600); Kris Thornton, James Madison ($6,200); Antwane Wells, South Carolina ($5,100); Jaylin Noel, Iowa State ($4,800)
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!
West Virginia at Oklahoma State
We know both Sanders and Greene are in play. Whenever I game stack, I want to use both quarterbacks if possible. That gets this one off the ground. Braydon Johnson and Sam James are the preferred receivers, but Cortez Braham is an intriguing option with Kaden Prather out. For the Cowboys, I am intrigued by the output from Brennan Presley with Sanders back. We can load up on the passing games from this one and leave the backs out entirely. However, I like Jaden Nixon quite a bit if Dominic Richardson remains out.
Western Kentucky at Florida Atlantic
Austin Reed and N'Kosi Perry are an intriguing combo at quarterback in this one. I've already touched on Corley. Jaylen Hall is the other Western Kentucky receiver you want. For FAU, LaJohntay Wester is a target hog. If you want to go deep into their receivers, Jahmal Edrine had a great game against Middle Tennessee State, but he is far from consistent. I really like McCammon from FAU, and if the Owls keep this close, he could have a huge game for the price. I don't trust Kye Robichaux, so I'm not trying to force him in there.
Honorable Mention: Oregon at Oregon State, Michigan at Ohio State
