Welcome to week 13 of the college football season! I'll be breaking down the slates in two different posts, so make sure to stay tuned for the late slate picks. Let's dive in!
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 11/23/19. 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
Malcolm Perry - Navy - FanDuel $9,900 / DraftKings $7,800
Perry has his first “bad” game of the season against Notre Dame, finishing with just 117 rushing yards and no touchdowns. It was his first game without a score all season long and he is typically sitting well over 25 fantasy points. He’ll be back to his regular self in this one against SMU, and I’d be shocked if he finishes with anything less than 150 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Perry is also doing more through the air than ever before, going over 100 yards three times this season. Perry is an extremely safe bet at quarterback and he’s my favorite point-per-dollar play at the position.
Kedon Slovis - USC - FanDuel $9,300 / DraftKings $7,000
Slovis is one of the best quarterbacks in college football and he flies under the radar for some reason. Even at USC. Slovis has thrown for over 400 yards in three of the last four games and went for 406 and four scores against a tough Cal secondary just last week. He now draws UCLA, which is the worst pass defense USC has faced all season long. Slovis has three NFL-caliber weapons and you can pair him with them in all formats.
Consider - Justin Fields, Charlie Brewer, Dru Brown
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Running Backs
Jonathan Taylor - Wisconsin - FanDuel $10,600
Jonathan Taylor has been over 200 yards in two straight weeks and I bet he makes it three here. Purdue is allowing nearly 180 yards per game on the ground and 4.5 yards per carry. Taylor is the best running back in the nation and he’s going to put a beating on this defense. Where you can play Jonathan Taylor, do it. He could put up 40 fantasy points in this match-up and nobody would blink.
Kenan Christon - USC - FanDuel $7,5000 / DraftKings $6,300
I’m a fan of all facets of this USC offense. The UCLA defense is anemic and USC and expected to put up nearly 40 points. Christon has been over 15 touches in three of the last four games and he’ll certainly return there in this game. USC is going to be running the ball plenty and Christian will be the fastest player on the field. He can break one loose at any point and can also get involved in the passing game as a check-down. He’s too cheap on both sites and I like him in all formats.
Consider - Chuba Hubbard, Breece Hall, Stephen Carr
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers
Michael Pittman Jr. - USC - FanDuel $9,000 / DraftKings $7,600
Right back to USC. Michael Pittman Jr. has now caught 24 balls for 326 yards and a touchdown over the last TWO games. Yes, that’s what the man has done in just two games against decent secondaries. He’s going to see another 15 targets in this game and I don’t even know what his ceiling is. UCLA can’t cover anyone and USC makes it a point to get Pittman Jr. the ball in space. You won’t find a single lineup of mine without Michael Pittman Jr. in any format.
Denzel Mims - Baylor - FanDuel $8,700 / DraftKings $6,600
Texas has one of the worst pass defenses in the entire nation and we will want a piece of this Baylor passing attack. Denzel Mims is by far the number one option and he’s target heavily in the red zone. He has four touchdowns over the last two weeks and 149 yards to go with them. This is the best match-up Brewer and Mims have had all season long and I’m a fan in all formats. His price is also down, which I don’t understand.
Jalen Reagor - TCU - FanDuel $7,500 / DraftKings $5,600
Jalen Reagor has seen his price come down dramatically and it’s hard to argue with the sites. He hasn’t been consistent and he hasn’t shown much upside. Still, we know it’s there. If he can get targets 8-10 times against a weak Oklahoma defense, the upside is in the 30 fantasy point range. Max Duggan isn’t a great passer, but he’s been a lot better of late. I expect a 15+ FP game from Reagor with a ceiling much higher.
Jake Smith - Texas - FanDuel $5,400 / DraftKings $4,500
With Collin Johnson announced out for this game, Brennan Eagles and Jake Smith will slot in and get some extra targets. You can play Eagles and he’s a bit safer, but Smith is cheap and I’m expecting him to play 75% of the time on passing downs. Smith isn’t an electric roster, but he’s a great red-zone target and Ehlinger throws him the ball when he’s on the field. The departure of Johnson is going to leave the opportunity open and someone other than Duvernay will have to take advantage.
Ronnie Bell - Michigan - FanDuel $6,900 / DraftKings $5,100
Ronnie Bell caught nine balls last week for 150 yards against Michigan State. Patterson leaned on him all game long and I don’t see why that changes here. Indiana is a terrible defense and Patterson should be able to throw for 250 yards. Bell is his clear number one option at this point and he’s priced way down on both sites. I like Ronnie Bell in both cash games and tournaments.
