College Fooball DFS: Tuesday and Wednesday Picks and Lineup Strategy for MACtion Week 12

It's MACtion time again, and today we will take a look at the five contests coming up over the next two days, identifying some good DFS selections so you can get in on the action. Let's begin with Tuesday's two-game slate.

College Football DFS Picks for Tuesday, Nov. 11 on DraftKings and FanDuel

The only team I'd exclude is Kent State, as the team is horrible and lacks quality DFS options for us. For my money, I'll have most of my focus on Ohio, which has what I believe to be the most complete quarterback, along with a decent supporting cast.

Quarterback

Parker Navarro, Ohio (DK $8,700, FD $11,100) @ Western Michigan

Navarro has been a steady presence with the Bobcats for four seasons, and he ranks third in the conference with 1,987 passing yards. I take him as a slight favorite over Akron's Ben Finley (DK $7,600, FD $10,100) despite an obvious matchup advantage. Navvario will be forced to perform more against Western Michigan, but Finley's job against Kent State will be far easier and won't require much to earn a win. I'd consider Finaly in the S-FLEX if I can afford him, but Navarro is my top pick.

Also consider: Broc Lowry, Western Michigan (DK $7,400, FD $10,600) vs. Ohio

Running Back

Jordan Gant, Akron (DK $7,400, FD $9,500) vs. Kent State

I fully expect the Zips to lean on Gant, who's the conference's top running back with 850 yards this season. He's behind our second running back selection in touchdowns, but Gant should be in line for at least one score in a lopsided matchup.

Sieh Bangura, Ohio (DK $7,800, FD $10,300) @ Eastern Michigan

Bangura leads the MAC with 10 rushing touchdowns this season, and I think he'll balance out the offensive attack behind Navarro in the slate's most competitive game. He's had a spectacular three-week tear, averaging 25.7 FPs over the past three games. All three games were 100-yard totals with six touchdowns over the span.

Wide Receiver

Chase Hendricks, Ohio (DK $7,000, FD $8,800) @ Western Michigan

I will buy into the Ohio stack and take Hendricks, who is Navarro's top target and one of the Bobcats' best offensive weapons. I would also be willing to play a triple stack and add Rodney Harris (DK $5,000, FD $7,300) into the mix. 

Tailique Williams, Western Michigan (DK $4,400, FD $8,100) vs. Ohio

I don't doubt a guy like Israel Polk for Akron's passing game, but I do question how involved he'll be in a potential blowout scenario. I'm inclined to take the offense on both sides of this matchup, and Williams is currently Broc Lowry's best option. The team depends heavily on Lowry's legs to get the job done, but he'll need to get vertical to get the job done against the Bobcats.

Da'Shawn Martin, Kent State (DK $4,200, FD $6,200) @ Akron

I have very little faith in Kent State's offense, but their best shot at moving the ball against Ohio is through the air. Ohio's defense is sound and will force the Flashes to beat them with the pass, as the team will have little success in running against a stout defensive front.

That'll do it for Tuesday. Let's move on to Wednesday's three-game MACtion slate.

College Football DFS Picks for Wednesday, Nov. 11 on DraftKings and FanDuel

I think this slate is much more interesting than Tuesday's offering, as there are several different ways you could go when targeting offenses. A lot depends on what NIU's offense will do after it builds an early lead against UMass, but the other two games are close matchups that should generate decent DFS production on both sides.

Quarterback

Tucker Gleason, Toledo (DK $8,300, FD $11,600) @ Miami (OH)

If we're talking about stability and recent production, I think Gleason is the obvious best option. Although Miami's defense is highly ranked nationally and easily one of the best defenses in the conference, it relies heavily on turnovers and the ability to make defensive stops on third down. Gleason has only thrown five picks this season and is very effective when the team gets into the red zone. He's mostly a traditional pocket passer, and while that limits his versatility, he'll waste no time in getting the offense moving through the air.

Dequan Finn, Miami (OH) (DK $7,800, FD $10,500) vs. Toledo

Finn is arguably the most versatile quarterback for this slate, as his dual-threat capability is a valuable tool. What moves the needle for me was his gutsy performance in last week's loss to Ohio, where he did all he could to will his team to victory despite ultimately falling short. Since I view this game as the most competitive matchup for Wednesday, it makes complete sense to pit the two quarterbacks against each other and utilize both of them in the available slots.

Running Back

Chip Trayanum, Toledo (DK $7,700, FD $9,600) @ Miami

Although Miami's run defense is decent, encountering a back like Trayanum hits a little differently. Originally recruited by Ohio State, he had a stint with the Buckeyes and a year with Kentucky before finally landing with Toledo. His Power 5 experience has resulted in one of the conference's best rushing totals of the season, and he could prove to be one of Miami's toughest tests.

Al-Jay Henderson, Buffalo (DK $7,200, FD $7,800) @ Central Michigan

This should be a smash spot for Buffalo's run game, as the Chippewas rank as one of the worst teams in the FBS against the run. The Bulls' passing game has struggled, so I expect Buffalo to lean heavily on Henderson. He also has little competition on the depth chart.

Wide Receiver

Junior Vandeross, Toledo (DK $7,200, FD $9,100) @ Miami (OH)

Although his 5-8 frame won't translate to the next level, Vandeross has been one of the conference's most productive receivers during his four years with Toledo. Despite the diminutive frame, he somehow finds multiple ways to get open and reminds me a bit of Georgia's Zachariah Branch due to his speed and YAC production.

Nik McMillan, Buffalo (DK $6,200, FD $7,400) @ Central Michigan

Although Victor Snow is the No. 1 receiver, McMillan's numbers have outclassed his teammate in recent weeks. He's coming off a massive 177-yard day against Akron, and he's managed at least 100 receiving yards in three consecutive games. Snow's best efforts came earlier in the season and is more expensive on both sites, so going with McMillan is a no-brainer.

Also consider: DeAree Rogers, NIU (DK $5,500, FD $8,100) @ UMass
