DraftKings Late Night CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/18/23)

November 18, 2023

Mike's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the late-night slate on Saturday (11/18/23). His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.

Hey! You can't fall asleep yet! There's still college football going on and still money to be won in DFS! It's not over until WE say it is! Are you with me? Let's finish Week 12 of the last great college football season the right way! This one is tough since we had such a great late-night slate last week. It kept me company on my drive back from Miami, so it was nice.

We only have two games on the West Coast tonight and neither of them feature the Pac-12. That's a bit of a downer after USC and Oregon being on last week's slate. We do have a busy night in the valley. New Mexico will be spending their night in Fresno. The Aztecs head up to South Bay to take on San Jose State.

In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/18/23, locking at 10:30 PM Eastern. I’ll provide multiple 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

Chevan Cordeiro, San Jose State ($8,400)

Cordeiro only threw 18 passes last week in the rout of Fresno State and he still cleared 20 DraftKings points. If I had to guess, I would say that the Bulldogs have no good reason to play Mikey Keene against New Mexico. Logan Fife against the Lobos is very tempting, but it's also a little risky. If you're in a large-field GPP, I would go with Fife if he starts. If not, Cordeiro is the only sure thing.

Devon Dampier, New Mexico ($5,800)

Dylan Hopkins is going to start the game, but Danny Gonzales said that Dampier will split snaps with him. Considering that Dampier was the far more effective quarterback last week, I would guess that if Dampier stays hot, he will see more of the work. Both are risky, but Dampier has more upside.

Also consider: Jalen Mayden, San Diego State ($6,500)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Kairee Robinson, San Jose State ($7,100)

The Aztecs don't have a strong defense like they usually do. Robinson has 574 rushing yards in the last four weeks alone. He also has seven receptions for 92 yards in that span as well. Oh...and he has 10 touchdowns in those four games. Robinson has been a terror for opposing defenses in the last month. That is going to continue here against the Aztecs.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt, New Mexico ($5,200)

Better quarterback play has allowed JCM a little more room to run. He's not a burner, but he has scored 15 total touchdowns on the season. The Lobos keep Croskey-Merritt heavily involved in the offense. He has at least 11 DraftKings points in every game this season. That includes games against Texas A&M and Wyoming.

Also consider: Malik Sherrod, Fresno State ($7,100); Quali Conley, San Jose State ($5,000)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Nick Nash, San Jose State ($6,400)

Receiver is going to be really tough on this slate if Mikey Keene is out. Nash has 10 of the 25 completions thrown by Cordeiro in the last two weeks. He doesn't have huge upside, but Nash is the only guy who gets guaranteed targets. The running backs are the focal points of this offense.

Mark Redman, San Diego State ($4,600)

Redman has 12 receptions over the last three games. Hey, that's a huge number for a San Diego State receiver! The 118 yards leave something to be desired, but the state of receivers is so dire on this slate that I'm chasing targets more than yards or touchdowns. I want the guaranteed points.

Mac Dalena, Fresno State ($4,500)

Dalena leads the Bulldogs in receptions (15) and yards (179) over the last three games. He has even found the end zone twice! It's hard to trust any Fresno receivers if Fife is the starting quarterback, but a lackluster score hurts a lot less from a guy who costs significantly less than the rest of the bunch.

Also consider: Jalen Moss, Fresno State ($6,200); Jeremiah Hixon, New Mexico ($4,900)

DraftKings CFB Stacks:

San Jose State

San Jose State is built a little differently, so we must approach their stack differently. Cordeiro gets enough carries and is an efficient enough passer to sustain value. The two best pieces of this stack are the running backs. Yes...plural. Robinson and Conley both go over 100 yards with regularity and both have double-digit DraftKings points in all but one game this season (Conley missed the mark in Week 2 against Toledo). Nick Nash is the safe piece if you feel like you need a receiver.

Also consider: Fresno State, New Mexico
