DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (11/9/24)

Mike's DraftKings daily fantasy college football lineup picks for Saturday's Main Slate (11/9/24). His CFB DFS lineup picks and DFS sleepers will help you win.

Lost somewhere in New Orleans last weekend were my main slate picks. Somehow, they got lost in the shuffle, so there's no sense in posting them late. We'll move on to this week with another dozen games. The Nooners feature Florida in Austin, West Virginia in Cincinnati, Syracuse on Chestnut Hill to meet Boston College, Miami in Atlanta to face the Wreck, Minnesota in Jersey to face Rutgers, and Ohio State hosting Purdue.

The afternoon opens in the metroplex with Army in Denton to face North Texas. Georgia visits the Grove and Mississippi. Iowa State is in Kansas City to face the Jayhawks. Clemson is in Blacksburg to face Tech. We have Michigan in Bloomington trying to test the Hoosiers. We close out in Lubbock with Colorado in town chasing a berth in the Big 12 (14) title game.

In this article, I will provide you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/9/24, locking at noon EDT. 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

Bryson Daily, Army ($9.5K)

Daily's absence on Saturday hurt my bottom line, but he is expected to play against North Texas as his absence was reportedly only from an illness. If Daily plays, Daily pays in our DFS lineups. This is another juicy matchup.

Shedeur Sanders,  Colorado ($8.9K)

This slate is loaded with quarterback talent. Sanders could break the slate because of his ability and the fact that Texas Tech is allowing 307.2 passing yards per game. Sanders is averaging 323.9 passing yards per game, so you can see where this is going.

The opportunistic Tech defense is going to try to ugly this game up, but Sanders has only thrown six interceptions this year. We should see a big game from Sanders no matter what.

Kurtis Rourke, Indiana ($7.4K)

Rourke is having a terrific season for the Hoosiers, so I'm willing to trust him even in matchups that aren't great. He had good games against both Northwestern and Michigan State. I know that Michigan is a different animal, but this Indiana team is different as well. We can trust Rourke to make good decisions and come away with a solid stat line.

Behren Morton, Texas Tech ($6K)

Morton is inconsistent and inaccurate, but the volume will be there in a high-scoring affair against Colorado. This is one of the best matchups that Morton can hope for. Can he capitalize on it? He should have around 50 pass attempts in this game.

Also consider: Cam Ward, Miami (FL) ($10.6K); Cade Klubnik, Clemson ($9.3K); Brendan Sorsby, Cincinnati ($7.9K); Rocco Becht, Iowa State ($6.9K); Thomas Castellanos, Boston College ($6.6K); DJ Lagway, Florida ($4.8K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs

Darius Taylor, Minnesota ($8.7K)

Taylor did that in a tough matchup against the Illini. What will he do to a Rutgers team that allows 165.88 rushing yards per game and 2.2 touchdowns? The sky is the limit for Taylor here if Minnesota decides to keep it on the ground.

Phil Mafah, Clemson ($6.5K)

Clemson gave Mafah 35 touches last week against Louisville and he seemed to get better with each carry or reception. He has at least 22 touches in each of the last four games. Mafah has been a beast in ACC play and should do the same against Virginia Tech. We all saw LeQuint Allen against the Hokies, right?

Kanye Udoh, Army ($5.9K)

Udoh was running for 100+ yards per game even with Bryson Daily destroying defenses. He had a monster game last week against Air Force. The production will dip a little (mostly the touchdowns), but Udoh is more than worth the price if he keeps running for more than 100 yards every game.

Isaiah Augustave, Colorado ($3.9K)

Dallan Hayden is still going to get some work, but Augustave has seen most of the carries in the last two games. Augustave has scored a touchdown in three straight games, but that elusive 100-yard game hasn't happened yet. It might happen against the Red Raiders if he gets 22 carries again.

Also consider: Tahj Brooks, Texas Tech ($8.4K); LeQuint Allen, Syracuse ($8.1K); Quintrevion Wisner, Texas ($5K); Abu Sama III, Iowa State ($3.4K)

 

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers

Travis Hunter, Colorado ($9.5K)

Do you all need a refresher on what Jayden Higgins did to Texas Tech last week? It was 10 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown if you don't want to look it up. By every account, Hunter is a better receiver and Shedeur is a better quarterback than Rocco Becht. This could be another monster for Hunter.

Jayden Higgins, Iowa State ($7.1K)

Speaking of Higgins...he has topped 100 yards in three of the last four games. He has at least five receptions in all but one game and at least six in each of the last five contests. He is WR1 for Iowa State right now. It's easy to see why.

Daniel Jackson, Minnesota ($5.5K)

As Max Brosmer has progressed, so has Jackson. He has 24 receptions for 280 yards and two touchdowns in the last three games alone. Rutgers has a good run defense, so Minnesota is going to need a few big plays in the passing game. They will likely come from Jackson.

Colston Loveland, Michigan ($4.8K)

If Michigan is going to keep rolling with Alex Orji, we will see more monsters from Loveland. He has 26 receptions for 295 yards and three touchdowns over the last four games. Uneven quarterback play can't stop Loveland. He's a bargain at this price.

Max Klare, Purdue ($4.1K)

I was a bit apprehensive about Hudson Card coming back and destroying the value of Klare. Instead, Klare hauled in six passes for 78 yards. He is the leading receiver for the Boilermakers and that's not going to change anytime soon.

Also consider: Xavier Restrepo, Miami (FL) ($7.5K); Jaylin Noel, Iowa State ($6.1K); Justus Ross-Simmons, Syracuse ($5.3K); Malik Rutherford, Georgia Tech ($4.8K); Caleb Douglas, Texas Tech ($4.6K); Joe Royer, Cincinnati ($4K)

 

DraftKings CFB Stacks

Army

Everyone knows about Daily and Udoh, but don't overlook Casey Reynolds with Daily back in the fold. Reynolds had 169 receiving yards in the prior two games. Adding Reynolds to your stack at a low price could help you afford another star.

Colorado

This is a tough one with the prices of Sanders and Hunter, but Augustave makes the stack possible. Jimmy Horn Jr. was big in his return in Week 9 and he's very underpriced.

Also consider: Miami (FL), Texas, Ohio State
