CFB DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Playbook & Schedule: Saturday, November 14th
Before we discuss top CFB DFS picks this week, let’s take a look at the slate. DraftKings has a 12-game main slate with only afternoon action. Meanwhile, FanDuel’s 14-game slate spans both the afternoon and night. For the write-ups, we’ll focus on top players and value picks for both sites. See our specific DraftKings and FanDuel core plays below. Here’s a look at the Week 11 CFB DFS picks.
CFB DFS Lineups: Top Plays
Kevin Jennings, QB, SMU
DK: $9,000 | FD: $11,800
This week’s highest total on the slate features Wake Forest and SMU. That puts Kevin Jennings firmly on our radar as a top quarterback. The Mustangs’ QB is averaging 307.1 passing yards per game with a 25:6 TD:INT ratio. He’s also scoring 27 DK points per contest. Jennings now faces a Wake defense ranked 117th in success rate vs. the pass and 95th in passing yards allowed per game against FBS foes.
Bo Jackson, RB, Ohio State
DK: $8,000 | FD: $8,200
The top-tier running backs are tough to navigate this week, plus the DraftKings and FanDuel strategies differ. Bo Jackson should be a safe floor option on both sites because of his current volume and importance to the Ohio State offense. With QB Julian Sayin out, the Buckeyes are leaning heavily on the run with Jackson as the workhorse. He had 28 DK points with 90 total yards and 2 TDs on 18 touches last week. He had 153 total yards on 23 touches with 20 DK in the game prior. This is also a decent matchup with Northwestern allowing 4.7 yards per carry vs. FBS foes (98th in the country).
Charlie Becker, WR, Indiana
DK: $8,300 | FD: $9,000
Like running back, there are no clear-cut lock plays in the expensive wide receiver range this week. Charlie Becker has as much upside as any WR on the slate, outside of Jeremiah Smith. He has DK outputs of 31, 28, and 33 points over the past five games. He’s also averaging 114 receiving yards and 25 DK points per game at home this year. USC has a shaky, inconsistent pass defense that Becker and the Indiana offense can exploit.
Aiden Flora, RB, Iowa State
DK: $8,500
On the DraftKings slate, Aiden Flora is a top running back to consider. Cincinnati has one of the worst defenses at the power-conference level, and in the Big 12. The defense is also allowing 4.8 yards per carry vs. FBS opponents (106th in the country). It’s a favorable matchup for Flora, who’s coming off two monster games. Iowa State’s tailback had 37 DK points and 221 rushing yards two weeks ago, then put up 34 DK with 202 total yards last week. He’s been up and down this year, but can break the slate in the right matchups.
CFB DFS Lineups: Value Plays
Jaylen Raynor, QB, Iowa State
DK: $7,300
As noted above, Iowa State gets a favorable matchup against Cincinnati’s weak defense. The Bearcats have especially struggled against the pass, ranking 135th nationally in passing yards allowed to FBS opponents. That makes Jaylen Raynor an excellent value play, especially with how well he’s playing. The Cyclones’ QB has 37 and 29 DK points in the past two games, with 7 total TDs in this stretch. He’s been inconsistent this year, but this current form and the weak opposing defense combine well this weekend.
Jonaz Walton, RB, Notre Dame
FD: $7,300
Admittedly, the value running backs are slim pickings this week. On the FanDuel slate, Jonaz Walton is worth a look for Notre Dame. The Irish should win big over Boston College, which could lead to a bigger workload for Walton as the current back-up to Nolan James Jr. He had 33 FD points, 209 total yards, and 2 TDs against Stanford earlier this season in a similar situation. Walton is cheap enough to take a chance on the upside.
Elija Lofton, TE, Miami FL
DK: $4,300 | FD: $6,400
It appears Elija Lofton will have a bigger role in the Miami offense with Malachi Toney sidelined. Lofton just had his best game of the year with Toney out last week. His seven catches for 113 yards were both season-highs, as the Hurricanes’ tight end also scored a TD and put up 27 DK points against Notre Dame. Maybe it’s a one-off, or a sign of things to come. Cooper Barkate also stepped up, but Lofton is much cheaper for possibly similar production. If he keeps it up, Lofton won’t be this cheap for too long.
Willie Rodriguez, TE, Kentucky
FD: $5,700
On the FanDuel slate, another cheap tight end presents good value. Willie Rodriguez has been productive lately, with at least 5 catches in five straight games. The Kentucky tight end also has 81 and 67 yards in the last two games. He now faces a weak Florida pass defense that’s allowed big games to opposing pass-catchers all year. Rodriguez’s 45 receptions are tied for the team lead thus far, and he’s second in receiving yards.
