  • Saturday’s DraftKings main slate runs 12 games, with the first kickoff at noon ET
  • One passing offense gives me a stack I can build at two different price points
  • See below for my Week 11 college football DFS picks, the sleeper value and a higher-risk alternative

The Week 11 main slate gives us 12 games on Saturday, Nov. 14. The first kickoff is noon ET and the last included game starts at 4:15.

Late swap is permitted in this contest, which changes how you treat the noon window. Once a game kicks off, its players are locked. Only players whose games have not started can still be swapped. Pricing differs across DFS apps, so everything here is specific to the DraftKings Classic pool.

My college football DFS picks for Week 11 start in that noon window, with Wake Forest at SMU doing most of the work.

Salaries from the current DraftKings main-slate sheet. Player availability can change up to game time, so recheck the pool before you enter on DraftKings.

Saturday Stacks for Week 11

Kevin Jennings is the foundation at $9,000. SMU’s Nov. 10 notes have him at 2,764 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and six interceptions through nine games on a 73.8% completion rate.

His last gamebook is the part I keep going back to. Jennings went 24-of-32 for 350 yards and four scores against Virginia Tech, with one pick and 17 rushing yards. Buy him for the arm, not for scrambling production.

Yannick Smith at $5,600 is my preferred partner, and the pair costs $14,600. He drew eight targets in that Virginia Tech game and turned them into six catches for 84 yards.

Yamir Knight went for 103 yards and three touchdowns in the same game on the same eight targets, and he’s $1,300 more at $6,900. Smith gets me that target volume cheaper, which is the whole reason I’d rather build there.

Week 11 CFB DFS Sleepers and Value Plays

Jalen Cooper at $4,700 is the sleeper I want on this slate. Six targets became five catches for 98 yards and a touchdown against the Hokies, which is real involvement at a price under $5,000.

Running Cooper with Jennings brings the pairing down to $13,700. One game doesn’t lock in that role going forward, but I’ll take the discount on a receiver already producing in this offense. Volume like that also plays well on pick apps, and the PrizePicks promo code page covers that side.

Kendrick Raphael is the standalone piece at $7,700. SMU lists him at 150 carries for 755 yards and 10 rushing scores through nine games, so the goal-line work is his.

He had 15 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown last time out, plus a catch for 11 yards. Christian Rhodes took seven carries and Dramekco Green six in that same game, so this is a lead role rather than a full workload.

The Higher-Risk Alternative

If you want the other side of that noon game, Gio Lopez and Carlos Hernandez cost $15,700 together. Lopez brings 2,176 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and one interception through eight appearances, with 318 rushing yards and six more scores on the ground.

Hernandez backs it up at $8,200 on 61 catches for 945 yards and seven touchdowns through nine games. That’s the most established receiving production in the matchup.

Two things keep this behind the SMU build. DraftKings currently flags Lopez probable and he’s reported to have sat out the previous game, neither of which is a school clearance, and SMU’s defense is allowing 193.9 passing yards per game. Check his status Saturday morning before committing.
