CFB DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Playbook & Schedule: November 23rd

Whether you’re looking at well-known athletes or lesser-known talents, the trick is to mix dependable performances with some strategic risks. 

With the latest stats and matchup insights, we’re here to help you create winning lineups for DraftKings and FanDuel! After an exciting Week 12, let’s jump into this week’s CFB DFS projections and find the players who can help you win your DFS contests.

 

 

 

CFB DFS Lineups: Quarterbacks

Cam Ward, Miami Hurricanes

Ward and Shedeur Sanders should be the top-priced options everyone is looking at, and for good reason. He had that one stinker against FSU but other than that, Ward has recorded 27+ fantasy points in every single outing, including 34+ on 7 separate occasions. No reason to think he won't put up similar numbers this week.

Kevin Jennings, SMU Mustangs

Jennings made the cut in last week’s CFB DFS picks and delivered a solid 22.7 fantasy points. If you want to play it safe at QB, he’s a good high floor, low ceiling option, coming into this game averaging 19.9 fantasy points per game. Just like last week against BC, Jennings has a solid matchup here against Virginia.

Garrett Greene, West Virginia Mountaineers

Just a tick cheaper on DK than Jennings is Greene, who exploded for 44.4 fantasy points last week. It was by far his highest total of the season, but he looks healthy now and will look to deliver another wild performance in Week 13. UCF is a good run stopping team, but they really struggle to contain the pass.

 

 

 

CFB DFS Lineups: Running Backs

RJ Harvey, UCF Knights

Harvey has recemented himself as one of, if not the very first, best options for CFB DFS picks when it comes to RBs. After his Week 11 output, he now has 6 games this season of at least 30 fantasy points – as a running back. It’s hard to get that kind of production anywhere else, even if he doesn’t have the best matchup in the world this week.

Omarion Hampton, North Carolina Tar Heels

What I just said about Harvey above? You can go ahead and read it over again for this section on Hampton. The UNC offense as a whole appears to have found another gear recently in large part due to Hampton’s success. He could go off for 40+ points on any given week, and Week 13 against an average Boston College defense fits that bill quite well.

Devin Neal, Kansas Jayhawks

While Neal may have had a down week from a yardage standpoint against BYU, he still managed a way to find paydirt twice in that game. We’ve seen backs have big games against this Colorado defense in the past so Neal could be in store for a big output. It helps that he stays involved in the passing game, too.

Kye Robichaux, Boston College Eagles

Since the Week 10 bye for Boston College, Robichaux has recorded 49 carries for 288 yards and 4 touchdowns in just 2 games. It’s safe to say that he has complete control of this backfield and the coaching staff if leaning on their run game. Might as well take advantage of a guy who, at the very least, is going to garner a lot of touches.

 

 

 

CFB DFS Lineups: Wide Receivers

Ja’Corey Brooks, Louisville Cardinals

Travis Hunter doesn’t even need a write up at this point, so how about we go with Brooks instead? He’s been a consistent shower in this column this season and has come through more often than not. Even without finding the end zone last week, he was still able to muster up 22.4 fantasy points.

Josh Kelly, Texas Tech Red Raiders

Kelly and the Red Raiders get a phenomenal matchup against an absolutely dreadful Oklahoma State defense. As a matter of fact, even if it was a good defensive unit, I still might roll with Kelly. He’s coming off the best back-to-back stretch of his career and should have no issues eclipsing 20 fantasy points in this one.

Isaiah Horton, Miami Hurricanes

All of the attention will be on Xavier Restrepo, and rightfully so, but another Miami wideout that’s a whole lot cheaper is Horton. It’s been a while since he really popped off, but it’s also been a while since he’s had a complete dud. He’s stayed very involved in the Hurricane offense, and this could be the week he finally breaks 100 yards.

Jacoby Jones, UCF Knights

Jones has really come on as of late with 18 catches in his last 3 games. WVU is better against the run than the pass, so even though Harvey is matchup proof, if they do somehow shut him down, Jones would be the biggest beneficiary. Even still, he provides outstanding value in this week’s CFB DFS picks.

Taylor Morin, Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Speaking of value, how about Morin? He’s now had 17+ fantasy points in 2 of his last 3 games, which includes a 110-yard output just 2 weeks ago. He goes up against a Miami defense that has been stingy from a touchdown standpoint but more than generous when it comes to passing yards. I imagine WF will be playing catch up for most of the game, too.
