Week 7 college football DFS lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel run through LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt and Missouri running back Jamal Roberts, who face a Mississippi State pass defense ranked 111th and an Ole Miss run defense ranked 104th.
Roberts has run for 433 yards and five touchdowns over his last two games, and Leavitt climbed to No. 3 in my quarterback rankings after accounting for three touchdowns in the 35-34 overtime loss at Kentucky. Both are noon-slate plays on each site.
The tables use my Week 7 positional rankings and overlapping picks share one row.
Each slate column includes one expensive ($$$), midpriced ($$), and value ($) pick at each position. A dash means the player isn’t a recommendation for that slate, not necessarily that he’s unavailable. Price tiers reflect each site’s player pool.

Week 7 CFB DFS quarterback picks
| Player | Price | Rank | Team | DK Noon | DK 7 pm | FD Noon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sam Leavitt | $$$ | 3 | LSU | $9000 | – | $11200 |
| Conner Weigman | $$$ | 6 | HOU | – | $8800 | – |
| Avery Johnson | $$ | 12 | KSU | $7500 | – | – |
| CJ Carr | $$ | 25 | ND | – | $8200 | – |

| Ashton Daniels | $ | 29 | FSU | – | $7400 | – |
| Byrum Brown | $ | 26 | AUB | – | – | $9500 |
Sam Leavitt: LSU’s quarterback completed 25 of 34 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns at Kentucky, then scored on a 15-yard run in overtime. An interception and a fourth-quarter fumble hurt the Tigers in the loss, but his production through the air and on the ground held up. Mississippi State allows 260.0 passing yards per game, which makes him the top shared play at the position.
Conner Weigman: Weigman threw four touchdown passes, all to tight end Patrick Overmyer, in Houston’s 35-16 win at Kansas State. He’s also a goal-line runner who scored three second-half rushing touchdowns in a comeback win earlier this season. Oklahoma State visits Houston, and that red-zone role makes him the best night-slate anchor at $8,800.
Avery Johnson: Kansas State’s quarterback entered the Houston game leading the team with 291 rushing yards and three rushing scores, plus 25 career rushing touchdowns. Houston coach Willie Fritz said his defense did “a pretty good job of boxing a dangerous quarterback,” so Johnson is coming off a quiet day on the ground. Kansas visits Kansas State after allowing 541 yards to Utah, and $7,500 is a fair price for the Wildcats’ leading rusher.
CJ Carr: Carr completed 14 of 20 passes for 181 yards and three touchdowns in a 58-7 rout of Stanford, and he has 16 touchdown passes against one interception. Notre Dame’s blowouts have limited his volume. A closer game at BYU, where ESPN College GameDay will set up, gives the Irish quarterback a better chance to play four full quarters.
Arch Manning: Manning threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns against Oklahoma, but two fourth-quarter interceptions, including a pick-six, turned a 17-7 halftime lead into a 27-24 loss. “I think we’ve got to do a better job, especially me, not getting loose with the ball,” the Texas quarterback said. Florida at Texas kicks off at noon ET on ABC, and the three passing scores show his ceiling at $10,300.
Isaiah Marshall: Marshall threw for a career-high 333 yards and two touchdowns at Utah and added a 6-yard touchdown run in the 41-24 loss. The Kansas quarterback had the Jayhawks within 27-24 late in the third quarter against an unbeaten opponent. Kansas State just allowed 242 passing yards and four touchdowns to Houston, and $5,800 is the cheapest noon-slate quarterback price on this list.
Ashton Daniels: Daniels scored on a 7-yard run at Louisville for his 10th rushing touchdown, breaking Florida State’s single-season record for a quarterback. That came one week after his five-touchdown game against Virginia, and he also threw for 209 yards and two scores in the 44-20 loss. Miami’s offense should force the Seminoles to keep throwing, which keeps him in play at $7,400.
Byrum Brown: Brown ran 19 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in Auburn’s 24-14 loss at Tennessee before the bye. He also threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, so this is a bet on rushing volume against Georgia. Auburn at Georgia kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET, and Brown is a tournament play at $9,500 rather than a cash-game option.

Week 7 CFB DFS running back picks
| Player | Price | Rank | Team | DK Noon ET | DK 7 p.m. ET | FD Noon ET |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jamal Roberts | $$$ | 2 | MIZ | $8500 | – | $10500 |
| Wayne Knight | $$$ | 7 | UCLA | – | $8500 | – |
| Jeffrey Overton Jr. | $$ | 10 | VT | $6500 | – | – |
| Mark Fletcher Jr. | $$ | 25 | MIA | – | $7000 | – |
| DeSean Bishop | $$ | 6 | TENN | – | – | $8300 |
| Dwight Phillips Jr. | $ | 30 | UGA | $4900 | – | – |
| Jeremy Payne | $ | 29 | TCU | – | $6100 | – |
| Caleb Hawkins | $ | 15 | OKST | – | – | $7700 |
Jamal Roberts: Roberts followed a 211-yard game against Florida with 34 carries for a career-best 222 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-6 win over Texas A&M. He’s the first Missouri player since 2000 with consecutive 200-yard rushing games. Ole Miss allows 176.4 rushing yards per game, and that matchup justifies his $8,500 DraftKings price.
Wayne Knight: Knight ran 22 times for 103 yards and caught a touchdown pass in UCLA’s 17-15 win at Oregon, and his 35-yard run was his 10th rushing score of the season. Starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava is expected to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, leaving backup Ty Dieffenbach in charge. That puts more of the offense on the James Madison transfer against Wisconsin.
Jeffrey Overton Jr.: Overton carried 12 times for 73 yards in the 25-20 loss at California after handling 41 carries in the previous two weeks. The Woodbridge, Virginia, native also caught five passes against Pittsburgh, and that receiving work matters under DraftKings’ full point-per-reception scoring. Georgia Tech visits Blacksburg, and $6,500 is a fair price for Virginia Tech’s leading rusher.
Mark Fletcher Jr.: Fletcher ran 16 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Miami’s 41-13 win at Clemson, capping a 62-yard drive made up entirely of runs. Florida State just allowed 397 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns at Louisville. The Seminoles also rank 116th nationally in adjusted EPA per play allowed, so Miami’s backfield should find room at 7 p.m. ET.
DeSean Bishop: Bishop ran 19 times for 138 yards at Arkansas, and his 59-yard run with the game tied set up his own 8-yard go-ahead touchdown. He ran for a career-high 220 yards and three scores against Auburn the week before. With George MacIntyre coming off his first career start, Tennessee’s offense runs through Bishop against Alabama.
Dwight Phillips Jr.: Phillips carried a career-high 17 times for 120 yards in Georgia’s 20-17 win at Alabama with Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens out. “This Dwight Phillips, man, y’all don’t know how special this kid is,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. Check the availability report before lock, because Frazier was a late scratch last week and his return would cut into Phillips’ workload against Auburn.
Jeremy Payne: Payne turned 18 touches into 100 scrimmage yards in TCU’s 17-10 loss to BYU, catching four passes in a game where the Horned Frogs managed one touchdown. TCU was idle last week before its trip to Baylor. His receiving role gives him a steadier floor at $6,100 than most backs in his price range.
Caleb Hawkins: Hawkins carried 23 times for 83 yards against UCF after losing a fumble on Oklahoma State’s second play, his first in 314 college carries. Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris went right back to him and said, “There’s nobody in that stadium, including myself, that was more upset about that play than Caleb Hawkins.” The Shawnee, Oklahoma, native’s workload at Houston makes him a value at $7,700 on FanDuel.

Week 7 wide receiver DFS picks
| Price | Rank | Player | Team | DK Noon | DK 7 pm | FD Noon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $$$ | 1 | Jeremiah Smith | OSU | $9,700 | – | – |
| $$$ | 2 | Malachi Toney | MIA | – | $8,600 | $11,000 |
| $$ | 10 | Anthony Evans III | MSST | $7,300 | – | $9,300 |
| $$ | 16 | Chris Marshall | ARK | – | $5,800 | – |
| $ | 22 | Winston Watkins Jr. | LSU | $5,200 | – | – |
| $ | 28 | Kenny Darby | UK | – | $5,200 | $6,800 |
Jeremiah Smith: Smith scored on his first two touches in a 45-16 win over Maryland despite a season-low four catches for 93 yards. He has 38 career touchdown catches, one shy of the Big Ten record. Indiana allows 14.2 points per game and beat Ohio State 13-10 in last season’s Big Ten title game, so $9,700 buys touchdown upside in a hard matchup at noon ET on Fox.
Malachi Toney: Toney has 39 catches for 604 yards and six touchdowns in five games, and Miami’s bye gave him time to recover from a shoulder injury he appeared to have sustained at Clemson. “I see him bigger, faster, stronger and more motivated than ever before,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said in the preseason. The Seminoles allow 266.0 passing yards per game, and he’s playable on both the DraftKings night slate and FanDuel.
Anthony Evans III: Evans set career highs with 12 catches for 166 yards and scored twice in a 56-23 loss to Alabama. Quarterback Kamario Taylor played through an ankle injury and left in the fourth quarter. “It’s pretty obvious that he wasn’t able to do anything with his legs,” Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby said. The Bulldogs’ leading receiver holds value at $7,300 regardless of who starts at LSU.
Chris Marshall: Marshall has caught at least seven passes in four straight games, and Arkansas doesn’t have a second receiver pulling coverage away from him. The Boise State transfer had nine catches for 195 yards against Tulsa and seven for 136 against Georgia. Vanderbilt has lost three straight, and $5,800 is a low price for that volume.
Winston Watkins Jr.: Watkins entered the Kentucky game leading LSU with 354 receiving yards after following coach Lane Kiffin from Ole Miss. Mississippi State’s secondary gives up yards in bunches, and Watkins’ role in the passing game is established. At $5,200 on DraftKings, he’s the cheapest way to pair a receiver with Leavitt.
Kenny Darby: Darby caught 12 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown against South Carolina, then had four catches for 79 yards against LSU, including a 22-yard grab in overtime that set up the winning score. The freshman originally committed to LSU. Oklahoma’s defense ranks first nationally in adjusted EPA per play allowed, but $5,200 on DraftKings is cheap for Kentucky’s leading receiver.
