We've got a busy Friday night on the college football landscape tonight. These aren't just bottom of the barrel matchups either. We've got some good ones on here! We kick it off with Southern Miss heading to Ruston to take on Louisiana Tech. It only gets better from there.
Next we have some Pac 12 action with Washington State hosting the improving Arizona Wildcats. Memphis heads down to Houston looking for a game to steal. We have Air Force heading to Reno to take on a team that could be called Air Force with as much as they throw. We close it out in Vegas with San Diego State taking on a UNLV team that actually has a winning streak going on. 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 11/19/21 locking at 8 pm eastern. I’ll be providing multiple player suggestions for players at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, aiming to highlight one option apiece at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

DraftKings CFB DFS Quarterbacks
Jayden de Laura, Washington State ($7,300)
The Arizona defense is improving simply because the offense no longer puts as much of a burden on them. Still, this is a solid Washington State team, and though Mike Leach left for the glitz and glamour of StarkVegas, there are still imprints of his on this offense. de Laura isn't going to throw it 60 times like Will Rogers does, but he's still good for 35-40 attempts per game and he comes at a bit of a discount tonight.
Will Plummer, Arizona ($5,500)
Plummer lost his job to Jordan McCloud earlier this year and has split time with Gunner Cruz since McCloud went down. Plummer finally had the kind of game that we have been told he is capable of. He racked up 23.92 DraftKings points against a very god Utah defense. The Wildcats are going to have to throw to keep up in this one as well, so we could see Plummer have another good day. He's always a risk due to inconsistency, but with the way Arizona is playing as a whole right now, this is the time to take a chance on him.
Also consider: Carson Strong, Nevada ($9,000); Clayton Tune, Houston ($6,900); Aaron Allen, Louisiana Tech ($4,500)

DraftKings CFB DFS Running Backs
Charles Williams, UNLV ($7,500)
San Diego State has a good run defense, but Williams is the UNLV offense. He has scored ten touchdowns in the last five games, including games against Nevada and San Jose State. They were able to stop the run, but Williams still found the end zone. I can see chasing higher upside in GPP formats, but I won't move off of Williams in cash. Even against a good defense, he's pretty much a sure thing.
Alton McCaskill, Houston ($7,200)
The freshman has found the end zone five times in the last two games while topping 100 rushing yards in both games. Houston has put together their best games when the offense is balanced. Expect them to do that here as well as they try to set up a showdown with Cincinnati next week. It took Houston a bit, but they are now giving McCaskill a much larger portion of the carries. They will again here.
Marcus Williams Jr., Louisiana Tech ($6,500)
The Bulldogs are cycling through quarterbacks like Elizabeth Taylor went through husbands. However, Williams has finally managed to wrestle away the starting running back job. He has been leading in carries for a few weeks now, but last week against Charlotte Williams exploded for four rushing touchdowns and his first 100-yard game of the season. Nothing is set in stone with Louisiana Tech, but they would have to be nuts to go back to a committee after that performance.
Michael Wiley, Arizona ($4,500)
Wiley has been about the only bright spot for the Wildcats this year until recently. His star hasn't diminished though. Wiley has a touchdown in each of the last three games. Even when he doesn't get much going on the ground, the Wildcats still get him the ball in the passing game to make sure he gets touches. Wiley's explosiveness makes him worth the risk for an offense that has struggled for most of the season.
Also consider: Brad Roberts, Air Force ($7,000); Frank Gore Jr., Southern Mississippi ($6,600); Deon McIntosh, Washington State ($4,600); Chance Bell, San Diego State ($3,600)
DraftKings CFB DFS Wide Receivers
Nathaniel Dell, Houston ($8,200)
The Houston offense went with a more vanilla approach and ran much of the game in the blowout win over Temple, so I don't put much stock into Dell's pedestrian game. In the two games before that, both of which were very competitive, Dell hauled in 17 passes for 329 yards and four touchdowns. Expect another big game from Dell here against a good Memphis squad.
Travell Harris, Washington State ($6,900)
Harris had a nice game in the loss to Oregon, hauling in eight passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. Harris is now third in the Pac 12 in receiving yards, so his floor is as good as anyone. We know that Washington State is going to keep throwing the ball. They will likely need to against an Arizona team that is much better than they were even a month ago. Harris is a strong play in a game that could be closer than we think.
Smoke Harris, Louisiana Tech ($5,900)
The quarterback carousel is a bit concerning, but Harris has 31 receptions for 361 yards and three touchdowns over the last four games with three different starting quarterbacks. No matter who starts (or finishes) the game, all of the quarterbacks look to Harris. Southern Miss put a scare into undefeated UTSA last week, so there's a chance that La Tech could be fighting for the win here. If they are, I like Harris even more.
Dorian Singer, Arizona ($3,800)
Singer didn't make his debut until Week 9 against USC, but he has had an impact in all three games since. Singer has 13 receptions for 195 yards, though he has yet to find the end zone. We have to think that will be coming soon. There are some great pay-up option on this slate, so the solid floor that Singer provides as a value play is absolutely necessary. Though if you have the extra money, it's worth your effort to pay up for Stanley Berryhill III.
Also consider: Romeo Doubs, Nevada ($8,000); Cole Turner, Nevada ($7,400); Kyle Williams, UNLV ($5,500); Sean Dykes, Memphis ($4,400)
