The Saturday night slates for DraftKings and FanDuel are identical, so we'll be able to identify our selections without including any outlier games. The action begins at 7:00 p.m. ET with three of the first seven matchups, and I've provided my best selections for both sites below. Let's get to it.
CFB Saturday Night Week 11 Overview
I don't think Vegas has taken weather conditions into account for the Navy-Notre Dame game, as this total is entirely too high given the conditions. While I'm set on the running aspect of this game, I have a lot of attention on Wake/UVA and LSU/Alabama, where I've made several selections. I faded Florida/Kentucky, and the oddsmakers backed me up. I could have expanded my quarterback collection a bit more, and there are some other situations like Louisville and LSU where we could have passers with honorable mentions.

Quarterback
Ty Simpson, 
Alabama (DK $9,200, FD $10,200) vs. LSU
Although Simpson carries a hefty price tag on both sites, he has one of the most reliable floors among the available quarterbacks on the slate. I think he will take advantage of an LSU pass defense that has flashed some inconsistency in recent weeks. I also believe Simpson's opportunities will be maximized, bolstered by a defense that ranks sixth

Quarterback
Ty Simpson, Alabama (DK $9,200, FD $10,200) vs. LSU
Although Simpson carries a hefty price tag on both sites, he has one of the most reliable floors among the available quarterbacks on the slate. I think he will take advantage of an LSU pass defense that has flashed some inconsistency in recent weeks. I also believe Simpson's opportunities will be maximized, bolstered by a defense that ranks sixth nationally in turnover margin.LSU may have some success in containing Simpson's running success out of the pocket, but he may make them pay with one busted coverage.
Chandler Morris, 
Virginia (DK $7,800, FD $8,500) vs. Wake Forest
Although Morris has regressed in recent weeks, he sits at a great salary point when we consider how much we might spend at running back. Virginia needs to amp up the offense and hang a big score on the Demon Deacons to prove its worth to the CFP committee. They definitely feel disrespected by the ranking, and they'll need Morris to do much more than hand off to J'Mari Taylor to be successful. Wake Forest's dismal showing against FSU showed how vulnerable they can be on both sides of the ball, and I'm sure Tony Elliott has been studying film to see how the Seminoles did it. I don't like him as much as Simpson, but if you're looking for a S-FLEX quarterback, Morris might be the best fit.
Running Back
Jeremiyah Love, 
Notre Dame (DK $9,500, FD $12,600) vs. Navy
The weather is projected to be horrible for this game, so the Irish will lean on the un game even more. Even if Love scares you from a salary perspective, you can hardly go wrong with the best rDFS running back in the country. Navy's defense can tamp down breakaway plays, but they are near the bottom of the pack in stopping drives. The metrics indicate that Notre Dame will get a lot of red zone opportunities, and they'll turn to Love fairly often. As I've said every week when rostering Love, Jadarian Price (DK $6,600, FD $9,300) is always a guy you should consider, and the blowout potential in the game pushes Price into viability quite convincingly. If you run into salary trouble, I'm not opposed to Price, but you might leave a lot of production on the table if you go that route. Either way, it's in your best interest to get involved with Notre Dame's running game in some form.
J'Mari Taylor, Virginia (DK $8,000, FD $10,000) vs. Wake Forest
I realize we are spending a lot of coin at the position, but we'll be able to shift to some low-cost wdeouts to offset the high costs. Wake's run defense is nothing special, and they've failed miserably against teams with strong running backs. Taylor is about as dependable as you can find in the FBS, and he's turned up the gas after stumbling a bit in the early stages of the season. I love this rushing duo, and he'll help offset the production dip you might get if you go with Price instead.
Adam Randall, 
Clemson (DK $6,500, FD $9,500) vs Florida State
Although the Tigers have begun to rotate Gideon Davidson in with more frequency, Randall is still the top man in the backfield. Florida State's defense has been a mixed bag this season, but it's proven to be most vulnerable against the run. Clemson will try to establish the run game early, and a feather in Randall's cap is his pass-catching ability as a former receiver. It increases his snap count as a third-down back, and although I am leery of taking any Tiger, Randall looks like a pretty safe bet.
Wide Receiver
It's a tough pill to swallow, but we will have to take some risks at wideout. Guys like Chris Bell and Antonio Williams will be out of our reach if we spend up at running back, so be prepared for a bit of potential volatility.
Caullin Lacy, 
Louisville (DK $5,100, FD $7,800) vs. California
While we may not be able to handle Bell's salary, we can still get involved with Louisville's offense by grabbing Lacy. He's had two consecutive weeks of excellent production, scoring touchdowns against Boston College and Virginia Tech. ACC and Big Ten teams traveling long distances have a terrible record this season, and the Cards should be able to take advantage and be a step faster than the Bears' secondary, which is a stout unit but not invincible.
Trey'Dez Green, 
LSU (DK $4,900, FD $8.500) @ Alabama
Green is more of a DraftKings buy for me, as his FanDuel salary is a little too high for my liking. Although I don't like LSU's outlook in this game, I'm a general fan of Green, who has a nice connection with Garrett Nussmeier. Nussmeier didn't make my final list, but Green stands out ot be the receiver who gets the largest share from his quarterback. He's racked up three excellent performances over the past month, with the highlight coming against South Carolina, where he caught eight catches for 119 yards and a touchdown.
Isaiah Horton, Alabama (DK $4,200, FD $6,400) vs. LSU
Horton is listed as probable this week, and he may fly under the radar a bit due to his previous injury designations. His ailments have certainly driven his salary down, and it's a sweet spot that I'm more than happy to add. Simpson needs someone besides Germie Bernard to get open, and the 6-4 junior should prove to be a headache for LSU's secondary.
Also consider: Tristan Smith, Clemson (DK $3,600, FD $6,100) vs. Florida State
