Championship weekend has arrived, and for college football fans, that signals a crucial moment: it’s time to finalize your CFB DFS picks for the season's most significant matchups!

With the 12-team playoff format now in play, every game is more critical than ever. Iconic teams like Georgia and Texas are set to face off in the SEC Championship, while Penn State takes on Oregon in a battle for Big Ten dominance.

 

 

 

Additionally, there are hidden treasures in the Group of Five championship games, offering chances to discover valuable CFB DFS projections for your lineup.

CFB DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Playbook & Schedule: December 7th

Whether you’re relying on star players from the Power Four or exploring the depths of less familiar teams, success this week will depend on a smart mix of elite talent and calculated risks, especially with such a small slate.

Let’s jump into Conference Championship Week and identify the key CFB DFS picks that can lead you to victory in this thrilling conclusion to the college football regular season!

 

 

 

CFB DFS Lineups: Quarterbacks

Cade Klubnik, Clemson Tigers

Matchup wise, I would much prefer Klubnik over Dillon Gabriel. SMU has been stout against the run, but they’ve been extremely generous to opposing passers, at least in terms of yardage. If he can turn the yardage into touchdowns, he’ll be in great shape. Plus, he’s really been utilizing his legs this season, which is always an added bonus.

Parker Navarro, Ohio Bobcats

MAC games have recently been during the midweek, so many may not yet know of Navarro in the CFB DFS picks space. All he’s done in his last 3 outings is put up 47.7, 29.6 and 43.8 fantasy points, respectively. The RedHawks don’t present the greatest matchup, but for how well Navarro’s been playing, Miami not necessarily being elite aids our case.

Sam Leavitt, Arizona State Sun Devils

I’m not sure why Leavitt is priced so low this week. Yes, the Cyclones have been much better against the pass than the run, but this is still a guy that’s put up 20+ fantasy points in 5 of his last 6 starts. The team itself has momentum after their rout of rival Kansas last week and I’d be surprised if Leavitt didn’t have at least a moderately productive day, at the bare minimum.

 

 

 

CFB DFS Lineups: Running Backs

Cam Skattebo, Arizona State Sun Devils

Speaking of the Sun Devils, Skattebo is primed for yet another monster performance. He has at least 39.9 in 3 of his past 4 games and now faces an absolutely atrocious run defense of Iowa State. As I just mentioned, this ASU squad is rolling and should come out firing on Saturday – and the engine that drives their offense is Skattebo.

Brashard Smith, SMU Mustangs

It’s hard not to be high on Smith as well this week. Just like the guy above, Smith is the focal point of this offense and has been delivering week in and week out the second half of the season. He’s scored at least 1 touchdown in each of his past 5 outings and should easily do the same against a below average Clemson run defense.

Bill Davis, Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns

Let’s get a little more out of the box with the next of our CFB DFS picks. Davis recorded 777 rushing yards on 150 carries this season to go along with 10 total touchdowns. ULL plays Marshall this weekend and the gundering Herd are one of the worst defenses against running backs in all the country. Sign me up.

Keyon Mozee, Miami (OH) RedHawks

Rough matchup here for Mozee, but the sheer volume he gets is what we’re attracted to. He has 14+ carries in each of Miami’s last 7 games, and in 6 of those games he eclipsed 100 rushing yards. He does nothing (literally, nothing) in the passing game but should be able to find his way into the end zone at some point. 

 

 

 

CFB DFS Lineups: Wide Receivers

Tyler Warren, Penn State Nittany Lions

The price is high, and Oregon is really good at defending tight ends. But by now, it’s almost hard to not play Warren no matter the matchup. He’s the best TE in the country and has recorded at least 21 fantasy points in 4 straight games. Whether it’s with the pass or just handing him the ball off, he’ll certainly stay involved in the game plan.

Jayden Higgins, Iowa State Cyclones

Higgins has been more boom or bust this season but taking into consideration his CFB DFS projections for this week, he’s in a good spot to boom. Arizona State has been susceptible to the pass this season, and even last week when he recorded just 3 receptions, Higgins still saw 13 total targets fly his way.

Antonio Williams, Clemson Tigers

If I like Klubnik to be able to move the ball through the air, why not stack him with his top wideout? Williams has been quite consistent this season and is just a couple games removed from a monster 42.9-point fantasy performance. He has the chance to be the difference maker in this game for the Tigers; they just need to get him the ball.

Matthew Golden, Texas Longhorns

Making the most of his opportunities is definitely what Golden has been doing recently. He has just 17 catches in the last 5 games, but 5 of those catches went for touchdowns. I typically try to avoid these types of players and roll with the volume-heavy ones, but in a week like this, you could do much, much worse than Golden.
