Did you think our college football DFS coverage was done for the day? Just because most of the world goes to bed before the late night slate doesn't mean that I do! College football addicts and DFS degenerates unite! We've got a nice four-game late night snack for you on DraftKings. It's not over until we say it is!
These late night tournaments on DraftKings have been outstanding this year so tonight is a little bit of a letdown. Just a little though. We still have BYU hosting South Florida to start this off. Arizona heads north to Eugene (ouch). The Beavers head to the Coliseum. We top it off with a battered Colorado team heading from the mountains to the desert in Tempe. This is going to be fun!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 9/25/21. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at guard and forward, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CFB DFS Quarterbacks
Kedon Slovis, USC ($8,800)
This is a slate where I could see only using one quarterback. Only USC is favored by less than two touchdowns and that's still a double digit spread. Vegas expects blowouts and blowouts aren't always conducive to nice games for quarterbacks. What gives Slovis top billing is USC's issues running the ball. They are going to have to throw to win against Oregon State and that game should stay closer than the other four. That makes Slovis the safest option for cash games.
Chance Nolan, Oregon State ($6,800)
It's not a shock to see the other quarterback from what should be the closest game on the docket, is it? Nolan took the job in week one and has run with it since. Nolan has thrown five touchdowns without an interception in wins over Hawaii and Idaho. USC is not Hawaii or Idaho. There are future NFL players in this secondary. I expect a few struggles from Nolan, but I also expect him to throw to keep up with the Trojans. We could see a solid game from him for the price.
Also consider: Jaren Hall, BYU ($9,000); Jayden Daniels, Arizona State ($7,000); Brendon Lewis, Colorado ($5,600)

DraftKings CFB DFS Running Backs
Rachaad White, Arizona State ($8,600)
DeaMonte Traynum looks like he will be out again, which means another big game for White. He has five touchdowns in three games so far. Colorado's defense just got run over by Trey Potts last week. Expect the Sun Devils to run a lot in this game as well. The offense hasn't really found a groove yet and this will be a good chance to do so.
B.J. Baylor, Oregon State ($7,200)
Baylor has scored a staggering seven touchdowns already this season. He's not just a goal-line back though. He has 29 carries over the last two games. This appears to be a timeshare in the Oregon State backfield with Baylor getting all the carries near the end zone. It wont be easy against USC, but if you are betting on the Beavers hanging around, Baylor should find the end zone at least once.
Jaren Mangham, South Florida ($5,000)
The Bulls are using three running backs (and a running quarterback) right now, but Mangham has scored five of the six rushing touchdowns. He is completely touchdown-dependent, but he did find the end zone twice against a much better Florida defense in week 2. I don't mind taking a shot at another score for this price.
Also consider: CJ Verdell, Oregon ($7,800); Travis Dye, Oregon ($5,800); Michael Wiley, Arizona ($4,600)
DraftKings CFB DFS Wide Receivers
Drake London, USC ($9,200)
London has caught double digit passes in two of the three games so far this year. He had a career game with Jaxson Dart throwing the ball around last week, but he wasn't too shabby with Slovis in game 1 against San Jose State. There are a lot of big-name transfers on this team, especially at receiver, but London continues to run circles around all of them.
Stanley Berryhill III, Arizona ($6,300)
The Wildcats are bad and having a three-headed quarterback certainly doesn't help. Berryhill doesn't care. He has at least 20 DraftKings points in all three games this season. He has been the only bright spot for the Wildcats thus far. Teams have moved the ball on Oregon, so I don't expect Arizona to get shut out. Berryhill is the most likely guy to make something out of his opportunities for Arizona.
Xavier Weaver, South Florida ($4,900)
The Bulls are so bad and they know it. How can you tell? They don't even try to throw to keep up! They don't have a quarterback with a good arm, so it seems counter-productive to use one of their receivers. Weaver has 218 of the 518 passing yards for the Bulls over three games and has the only touchdown reception. He's not a sure thing, but he is by far the most successful receiver for the Bulls . Timmy McClain looks better than the other two quarterbacks that have been used and he may have taken the job. If he has, Weaver should have a nice game for the price.
LV Bunkley-Shelton, Arizona State ($4,100)
The freshman is slowly working his way into a more prominent role in the offense. He has three receptions in every game so far and has one of the two passing touchdowns for the Sun Devils so far this year. Rachaad White is the leading receiver on the team. LV is third in both receptions and yards already. He is becoming a trusted target for Daniels and is priced nicely for the potential here.
Also consider: Johnny Johnson III, Oregon ($5,800); Tyjon Lindsey, Oregon State ($5,400); BJ Casteel, Arizona ($4,500)
