Week 12 college football DFS lineups, sleepers and value picks for FanDuel and DraftKings on November 16th. Target these NCAA players in CFB daily fantasy tournaments and cash games.
Welcome to week 12 of the college football season! After four weekday slates, we open it up today with an awesome slate. We'll kick it off with the main slate, but make sure to pay attention as the late slate article will drop as well. I will be following the DK slates, which separate the slates evenly.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for the main slate of games on FanDuel and DraftKings on 11/16/19. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
You can follow me on Twitter @VarneyDFS. I will be around all day to answer questions.
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Quarterbacks
Brock Purdy - Iowa State - FanDuel $10,200 / DraftKings $8,200
There are a multitude of options at quarterback on this slate, but Brock Purdy is my favorite and I love him in all formats. He’s been up and down this season, but regularly throws for 300 yards in positive match-ups. This match-up against Texas is as good as it gets. Purdy is a lock to throw for 300 yards and he could get to 450 if Iowa State is playing from behind. Texas is one of the worst pass defenses in the nation and Purdy is a lock for me in all formats. On the main slate on FanDuel where Hurts is involved, it’s a tough decision between the two for me. I lean Hurts in cash.
Max Duggan - TCU - FanDuel $8,400 / DraftKings $6,300
Duggan has been great this year and he’s facing off with a Texas Tech defense that isn’t going to offer much resistance. Duggan is running the ball double-digit times a game and it gives him a high floor. He should find the end zone two or three times at a minimum in this game and I love his price on both sites. Trevor Lawrence would be my second favorite option if I’m paying down from Brewer.
Consider - Anthony Gordon, Trevor Lawrence, Carter Stanley
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Running Backs
Chuba Hubbard - Oklahoma State - FanDuel $10,600 / DraftKings $8,800
Hubbard is the lock of the slate. Kansas is terrible against the run and Hubbard is going to see his usually ridiculous amount of carries. If he doesn’t run for 150 yards and two touchdowns, I would be completely shocked. I recommend locking Hubbard into 100% of your lineups. This early slate doesn’t have anyone else you must pay up for and you’re playing with fire if you fade him.
Travis Etienne - Clemson - FanDuel $9,900 / DraftKings $8,100
Etienne is a little bit cheaper than Hubbard and he’s going to go crazy this week as well. Wake Forest is terrible against the run and Etienne has found his rhythm recently. He’s run for 100 yards in four straight games and has scored six touchdowns in that span. This might be his best match-up to date when you combine game script and where Clemson is in the season. Every win matters and it matters by how much. Expect another huge game out of Etienne and I’ll be paying up at RB on the early slate.
Consider - Breece Hall, Pooka Williams, Cameron Scarlett, Kadarius Toney
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers
Kendall Hinton - Wake Forest - FanDuel $7,800 / DraftKings $5,800
With Scotty Washington and Sage Surratt both out, Kendall Hinton should be peppered with targets. The match-up isn’t tremendous with Clemson, but it won't matter if he sees the 11-14 targets I expect him to get. He’s head and shoulders above the rest of this receiving core and Newman should tell him all day long.
Charlie Kolar - Iowa State - FanDuel $7,700 / DraftKings $5,300
Kolar would be my bet if I had to pick a receiver to score a touchdown on this slate. The 6’4 tight end is a red zone monster and he was mostly ignored last weekend. Purdy should get back to looking his way heavily in this game and his price is low on both sites. We touched on Texas and how bad their pass defense is. They've allowed 300+ passing yards to far inferior passing squads, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Kolar ends up over 100 yards. Charlie Kolar is a guy I have locked into all formats.
Stephon Robinson Jr. - Kansas - FanDuel $8,400 / DraftKings $5,400
Robinson Jr. is too expensive on FanDuel, but this article is mostly useless if you’re playing over there. You must combine both articles as the presence of Jalen Hurts changes everything. Over on DraftKings, Stephon Robinson is way too cheap and in a great spot. Oklahoma State is bad against the pass and Carter Stanley has been all over Stephen Robinson this last month. On DK, he’s a lock and load value play for just $5,400.
Consider - Devin Duvernay, Deshaunte Jones, Justyn Ross, Damonte Coxie
