November is upon us and we are only a few weeks from conferences being decided. Alabama and LSU will face off this Saturday, but the CFB week started early with a Tuesday two-game slate. Those two slates were fun, but this Thursday slate is a nice one and so is tomorrow night. We have two games on the board tonight, with one expected to be high-scoring. There are a lot of different ways to go for a two-game slate, so 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 11/7/19. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays.
It's an extremely fun slate ahead of us, with more than enough offense to go around. I'll be breaking down the later slate in a different article, so make sure to keep an eye out for that as well. Let's dive into some of the top plays at each position. You can follow me on Twitter @VarneyDFS. I will be around all day to answer questions.

FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Quarterbacks
Bryce Carpenter - CCU - FanDuel $7,600 / DraftKings $5,700
Bryce Carpenter got the start last week and threw for 285 yards and a touchdown en route to a win against Troy. He ran the ball 15 times for 46 yards as well, so the versatility is there. Carpenter is easily my favorite QB on this slate as he’s priced below the rest and has far more upside than any of them. While CCU is a healthy underdog, Vegas still thinks they score close to 30 and Carpenter should account for at least two scores. QB is ugly on this slate and there isn’t much opportunity cost here.
Levi Lewis - ULL - FanDuel $9,200 / DraftKings $6,100
Quarterback isn’t very great on this short slate. Our top-priced option is Levi Lewis, who really isn’t very consistent. He has a great match-up working in his favor, however, and Vegas expects ULL to put up 30 points. Lewis isn’t a guy I’m going to target in GPP’s, as he’s expensive and hasn’t put up 20 fantasy points in two months.
Also Consider - Anthony Russo
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Running Backs
Elijah Mitchell - ULL - FanDuel $10,200 / DraftKings $6,300
Louisiana-Lafayette makes its money on the ground. They have a few running backs worth noting, but Elijah Mitchell is the head of the snake. CCU is terrible against the run and I wouldn’t be surprised to see ULL get over 250 yards on the ground. They’ve done it multiple times this season and against better defenses than this. While Mitchell can always have his touchdowns sniped, it’s not predictable as he doesn’t get pulled in the red-zone. He’s the top RB on the board and a lock without any high-priced QB’s.
CJ Marable - CCU - FanDuel $9,400 / DraftKings $7,200
Marable may be a running back, but you can still pair him with Bryce Carpenter. With Carpenter starting last week, Marable saw seven targets on top of his 14 rushes. He has nine touchdowns through six games and this offense runs through Marable. They’ll look to get him the ball early and often and you don’t have to worry about too much exposure to this game. It’s going to be high-scoring and a lot faster pace.
Re'Mahn Davis - Temple - FanDuel $8,600 / DraftKings $6,400
This bout between USF and Temple isn’t going to be exciting to watch from a fantasy perspective, but both of these teams are fighting for their lives and the spread is just 1.5. Expect a tight game with both offenses rather concentrated. My favorite exposure in this game is to the Temple running game. Jager Gardner is a fine secondary option, but Re’Mahn Davis is the number one and the far more talented back. On the season USF is terrible against the run. They rank 104th in the nation with 199.7 rushing yards allowed per game. If I’m choosing between Cronkrite and Davis, it’s Davis for me in both formats.
Re'Mahn Davis has been listed as doubtful. Jager Gardner is very much in play.
Raymond Calais - ULL - FanDuel $7,900 / DraftKings $5,200
Raymond Calais is just too good to keep quiet. He ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns a week ago and was then given 21 carries against Texas State. He’s still too cheap and should see at least double-digit carries in a game that ULL is favored by 14 points. Calais is a guy I’m fine with in both cash games and tournaments, and I will play him next to Mitchell. They could each go for 100 and three combined scores. I almost said four.
Also Consider - Jordan Cronkrite, Trey Ragas
FanDuel, DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers
Jaivon Heiligh - CCU - FanDuel $7,800 / DraftKings $5,100
Wide receiver isn’t plentiful on this small slate, but we have a few interesting options. Bryce Carpenter was a new start last week, and he targeted Jaivon Heiligh 16 times. He reeled in 12 of those for 107 yards. He didn’t find the end zone, but had for red-zone targets. This is the first guy I’m locking in as it surely seems Carpenter and him have a connection. A 75% catch rate against an average Troy secondary is super intriguing. I love Heiligh here.
Randall St. Felix - USF - FanDuel $7,300 / DraftKings $5,000
USF ranks 17th in all of the country against the pass. You can target Branden Mack or Isaiah Wright, but it just makes me want to play Re’Mahn Davis more. Temple is average against the pass and Randall St. Felix has asserted himself as the top option over the past two weeks. He’s still affordable on both sites and my favorite exposure to this USF offense.
Isaiah Likely - CCU - FanDuel $6,700 / DraftKings $4,700
Isaiah Likely caught six balls for 39 yards and a touchdown, and he was targeted 10 times. Bryce Carpenter looked super solid and CCU should cover this 14-point spread. ULL is going to run all over them, but I think Carpenter throws for at least 250 yards in this game. I know that’s super bold, but I’d much rather bet on that than play the ULL WR’s against the 10th best pass defense in the nation that can’t stop the run. ULL is just going to run the ball over and over.
Also Consider - Branden Mack, Mitchell Wilcox
