We have another eight games for our Saturday prime time college football slate on DraftKings. There are some big ones on here as we finish off rivalry week. Most of the hubbub is dying down, but we've got a few big ones on here. We start on the Bayou with A&M heading into Red Stick. West Virginia makes an interesting trip to Lawrence.
A half-hour later we have Clemson heading up the road to Columbia to take on the Gamecocks. We have Kentucky heading west on I-64 to Louisville. Memphis hosts Tulane. Pitt heads up to the Carrier Dome to take on the Orange. Of course, we have Bedlam! How do we finish this night slate off? How about Stanford hosting Notre Dame? This is going to be an action-packed slate!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup primetime picks for DraftKings on 11/27/21, locking at 7 pm eastern. 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
Malik Cunningham, Louisville ($8,500)
Is Cunningham matchup-proof? Did he get that way in the last month? He failed to hit 20 DraftKings points in Week 9 against North Carolina State, but since then he has 140.14 DraftKings points in just three games! He's not going to break the slate against Kentucky, but nine passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns with no turnovers in those three games make for a very high floor if he can keep it up. His solid game against Clemson in which he tallied 35.36 DraftKings points has me feeling confident enough to use Cunningham, even in a tougher matchup.
Will Levis, Kentucky ($7,000)
The Louisville defense has been solid this year, which kind of surprised me after the Ole Miss and UCF games. However, they held both Wake and Virginia to the low 30's in points. That's quite an achievement this year. We have seen some big games out of Levis, mostly when opposing teams take away the run game. I would expect Louisville to do that just because Levis will make mistakes. Six of his 12 interceptions on the season have come in the last four games. Still, Levis has nine touchdowns in the last three games, so forcing his hand may not be all it's cracked up to be. I like the idea of Levis throwing the ball around the yard again in this price range.
Jalon Daniels, Kansas ($5,400)
Daniels has rescued Kansas from the depths of power five laughing stock to at least a team that can and does remain competitive. He has 59.48 DraftKings points over the last two games, a win over Texas and a close loss at TCU. West Virginia's defense is better than both of those units, but I'll take the five passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns to one interception at this price. He'll probably be closer to 20 DraftKings points in this one, but that's still a good return.
Also consider: Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh ($9,300); Spencer Sanders, Oklahoma State ($7,400); Tanner McKee, Stanford ($6,600); Jarret Doege, West Virginia ($5,700)

DraftKings CFB DFS Running Backs
Kyren Williams, Notre Dame ($8,100)
I hate the fact that the Irish rotate backs so much, but we can't ignore Williams in a matchup like this. Stanford is allowing a staggering 241.7 rushing yards per game and has allowed 29 rushing touchdowns in 11 games. This is a great situation for all Notre Dame backs, but Williams is the only one that we can rely on for consistent carries. He has scored a touchdown in seven straight games. He's no Breece Hall, but that kind of floor in this kind of matchup is worth paying for.
Leddie Brown, West Virginia ($6,800)
The fact that Kansas is hanging with teams is a nice feel-good story, but the defense is still just as bad as you remember. They have allowed 248.8 rushing yards per game and a grotesque 39 rushing touchdowns in 11 games. Even if you want to narrow it down to the two recent games in which the Jayhawks have remained competitive, they have still allowed 490 rushing yards and five touchdowns in those two games. Leddie is in for a big game here. He's one of my favorite plays on the slate.
Zaquandre White, South Carolina ($5,400)
Kevin Harris is a good back, but White is proving to be the difference maker for the Gamecocks. He is getting a healthy number of touches and even gets some targets out of the backfield. This is a true timeshare situation, but I like the explosiveness of White as a compliment to Harris. Harris will be the one to wear Clemson down a little. White will be the one that pops off the big play(s).
Tyjae Spears, Tulane ($4,600)
Like White, Spears is also in a timeshare with Cameron Carroll, but Spears is the electric one. He has topped 100 rushing yards in three of the last four games. He has outcarried Carroll lately as well and has at least 13 DraftKings points in six straight games. This is a nice matchup with a Memphis team that has allowed 19 rushing touchdowns on the season and 154.6 yards per game.
Also consider: Sean Tucker, Syracuse ($8,600); Chris Rodriguez, Kentucky ($6,700); Devon Achane, Texas A&M ($6,600); Kobe Pace, Clemson ($4,600)
DraftKings CFB DFS Wide Receivers
Jordan Addison, Pittsburgh ($9,200)
Okay, maybe I'm a little partial to Addison since his 61.2 DraftKings point explosion last week landed me pretty high up leaderboards. He's not going to score four touchdowns again. He might get 200 receiving yards, but he likely wont get 14 receptions either. Addison is going to put up strong numbers, but temper expectations against a Syracuse defense that is better than they look.
Tay Martin, Oklahoma State ($7,200)
I thought about putting Wan'Dale here instead, and he certainly has the upside, but this is banking on the Oklahoma secondary having trouble covering receivers again. They held their own last week, but still got gouged by one guy. It was tight end Charlie Kolar last week. Martin is about the only receiving threat for the Cowboys and is my pick for the next guy to have a monster against the Sooners. It's a weekly thing.
Beaux Collins, Clemson ($5,000)
With a name like this, it's an absolute travesty that Collins doesn't play for LSU, but I digress. With Justyn Ross likely out again, Collins assumes the role of number one receiver again. South Carolina is a solid team, which should mean the Tigers have to throw more than they did last week. Collins has put up 67.1 DraftKings points in the last three games. With the quarterback playing better, Collins is a low-risk option at this price.
Luke Grimm, Kansas ($3,900)
Lassiter is still going to command more targets, but Grimm has caught a touchdown from Jalon Daniels in each of the last three games. That's a pretty enticing incentive for a guy priced this cheap. Kansas wont have as much success against this West Virginia defense, but they wont get shut out either. Grimm carries some risk, but the reward is high for this price range.
Also consider: Calvin Austin, Memphis ($8,100); Wan'Dale Robinson, Kentucky ($7,900); Michael Mayer, Notre Dame ($5,600); Jalen Wydermyer, Texas A&M ($5,100); Kwamie Lassiter, Kansas ($4,700)
