DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Brendon Lewis, Nevada ($8.4K)
It's hard to believe that this is the same Lewis who struggled at Colorado and in his first year in Reno. I thought Chubba Purdy would beat him out this spring. Instead, Lewis has had Nevada competing in every game.
His rushing prowess is what keeps his score high. He has topped 100 rushing yards twice and 90 twice more. Lewis has seven rushing touchdowns in the last five games. What he does through the air is almost irrelevant.
Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, Colorado State ($6.4K)
BFN has remained efficient even without Tory Horton, but he doesn't throw nearly as much as he did earlier in the season. The Rams have two backs who can get the job done, leading to more of a ball-control offense. Fowler-Nicolosi is that game manager now, and he's really good at it. He hasn't committed a turnover since Week 7.
Also consider Mikey Keene, Fresno State ($6.9K); Ethan Garbers, UCLA ($6.7K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Woody Marks, USC ($8.3K)
Congratulations to Woody Marks on becoming the first #USC running back with a 1,000-yard rushing season since Ronald Jones II in 2017! pic.twitter.com/bY6Srv9UY1

Marks went from 8-10 receptions per game in a Mike Leach offense in StarkVegas to a 1,000-yard rusher in L.A. That's quite a college career and a big reason why he's going to be coveted by pro teams.
USC has reinvented itself as well, moving to Jayden Maiava at quarterback and letting Marks handle as many carries as he can. Marks has topped 100 yards against both Nebraska and Washington -- both solid run defenses. He should have another strong game here.
Sean Dollars, Nevada ($3.8K)
RB is really hard on this slate since both Avery Morrow and Justin Marshall left the Border War last week with injuries. There have been no updates at all. If either one of them plays, they will be my second back behind Marks.
If they are both out, I like Dollars with Pat Garwo III unavailable, and Savion Red still (maybe) injured. If Red plays, I'll use him in this matchup if both CSU backs are out.
Also consider: T.J. Harden, UCLA ($6.2K); Jalen Dupree, Colorado State ($3K) only if Marshall and Morrow are both out.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Jaden Smith, Nevada ($5.7K)
Lewis doesn't throw a lot of passes, but nearly half of his throws go to Smith. He has also scored a touchdown in each of the last two games. Four of his five scores on the season are in the last five games. Smith is getting hot at the right time.
Zachariah Branch, USC ($5K)
Jayden Maiava made the USC boosters happy. They paid Branch all the money to stay, and he had a bit of a part in the offense for most of the year, with Miller Moss as quarterback. Branch caught six passes for 41 yards and a touchdown last week. His targets have gone way up with Maiava back there.
Moliki Matavao, UCLA ($3.5K)
Matavao is UCLA's leading receiver this season, and he's cheap. That's disrespectful to Matavao and a true gift to us DFS players. Lock him in and build the rest around him.
Also consider Mac Dalena, Fresno State ($6.9K); Makai Lemon, USC ($5.2K); Cortez Braham Jr. Nevada ($4.8K); Caleb Goodie, Colorado State ($4.6K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Colorado State
Fresno's defense has been a mess this year. Fowler-Nicolosi could wind up having to carry more of the load in this one if the Rams are without Marshall and Morrow. If that's the case, run Goodie with BFN. If not, run both backs with Goodie and BFN.
Also consider: Fresno State, Nevada
