CFB DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Playbook & Schedule: November 2nd

By this point, we've gathered a solid amount of data to make CFB DFS picks, which helps us identify dependable stars and promising players who are set to shine for victories.

With Week 9 behind us, let's fine-tune our strategy and secure the best CFB DFS picks for Week 10. Come along as we analyze the matchups, striving to maintain our strong momentum this season!

CFB DFS Lineups: Quarterbacks

Bryson Dailey, Army Black Knights

Cam Ward is listed below and still in play, but matchup wise, I’d rather save at QB on a guy like Dailey. Yup – a quarterback that has only 46 pass attempts on the season. He’s run for nearly 1,000 yards on the season and totaled 19 rushing touchdowns to go along with 7 passing TDs. Plus, no interceptions, and this week, a matchup against a dreadful Air Force defense.

Dillon Gabriel, Oregon Ducks

Other than a blowout win against Purdue where Gabriel didn’t need to be great, the Oregon QB has been rock-solid since the Week 4 bye. He has 2 separate games of 29+ fantasy points in his last 3 outings and is primed to perform against a Michigan defense that is stiff against the run but terrible against the pass.

Rocco Becht, Iowa State Cyclones

For those who really want to save, Becht is a tremendous choice. He’s coming off his best game of the season last week fantasy-wise and has a great Week 10 matchup. Texas Tech has been one of the worst defensive units in all of college football, and Brecht will certainly want to take advantage of that as the Cyclones continue their quest to the CFP.

CFB DFS Lineups: Running Backs

R.J. Harvey, UCF Knights

Welcome back, Mr. Harvey. I started fading him a few weeks ago against Florida, and it worked that week and the week after. Since, though, Harvey has faced two solid defenses and put up monster numbers resulting in 30+ fantasy points in each game. This game in general has shootout potential, and Harvey will most definitely be at the forefront of the scoring.

Darius Taylor, Minnesota Golden Gophers

It’s been tough to pay up for Taylor at times this season, but this is not one of those times. Illinois has been susceptible to the run in 2024 and Taylor, after last week’s performance, now has 3 separate games of 22+ fantasy points in his last 4 outings. He should find pay dirt; we just need him to get the yards as well.

Trevor Etienne, Georgia Bulldogs

Revenge game for Etienne? You got it. It comes at a perfect moment for him too after he exploded for 3 touchdowns against a stout Texas defense last game. After a slow start to the campaign, Etienne now looks extremely comfortable in this Bulldogs offense. Facing a Gators defense that allows 164.3 rushing yards per game should make him even more comfortable.

Robert Henry Jr., UTSA Roadrunners

You’ve got to hit on some dart throws to have any success making CFB DFS picks. We sort of have that here, although it’s not what it usually is. Henry Jr. is the clear lead back in the Roadrunners offense, which gives him a solid floor. The only thing that’s been tough to come by is touchdowns, but he’s got 1 in back-to-back games and is well-positioned to score yet again.

CFB DFS Lineups: Wide Receivers

Tetaiora McMillan, Arizona Wildcats

It’s hard to rely on McMillan, clearly, but when he booms, he booms. He nearly reached 40 fantasy points in Week 9 while eclipsing 200 receiving yards and adding a score – his first since Week 1 when he had 4. The sky's the limit with this kid each and every week, but if you do slot him into your lineup, you have to be prepared for the consequences of a quiet outing, too.

Tez Johnson, Oregon Ducks

My favorite overall play for Week 10 CFB DFS picks has to be Johnson. He’s amassed at least 19 fantasy points in all but 1 game this entire season and has been a touchdown machine over the last 5 weeks (6 TD). Just like Gabriel above, I expect the Ducks to air it out early and often against a weak Michigan secondary.

Jayden Higgins/Jaylin Noel, Iowa State Cyclones

If you take Becht at QB, you might as well complete the ISU stack and take one of, or both Higgins/Noel. Higgins is the safer option with a high floor, but Noel is the guy who could go off for 25+ fantasy points. We already touched on this porous Texas Tech defense, and I’d be shocked if at least one of these two guys didn’t have themselves a game.

Daniel Jackson, Minnesota Golden Gophers

Hopefully you caught Jackson when his price was lower because I doubt it gets any lower than this from here on out. He caught 2 more touchdowns last weekend which really is the only thing he’d been lacking thus far. The Minnesota offense is rolling right now, and if they plan to go into Illinois and leave with a win, Jackson better be heavily involved.

Nick Marsh, Michigan State Spartans

This is fantastic value for CFB DFS projections here for a guy who has shined when healthy in 2024. QB play has been his biggest issue, but Marsh has a knack for making the most of his opportunities. The Spartans figure to be trailing throughout this one, making him a solid play to finish with 15+ fantasy points, something he easily did 2 weeks ago against Iowa and nearly did last week against Michigan.
