College Football DFS Picks: DraftKings Saturday Main Slate 9/19/26
DraftKings college football DFS picks for Saturday's 12-game main slate, with quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, values, stacks and a CTS core.
By 
Saturday’s DraftKings college football main slate gives us 12 games from noon through the late afternoon. Pricing is tighter than last week, so we are prioritizing concentrated roles and game environments.
Quarterbacks
Gunner Stockton, Georgia, $9,200
Stockton has eight touchdown passes through two games with only four incompletions. Arkansas struggled badly against Utah, and Stockton adds enough rushing ability to reach the top of the slate.
Lincoln Kienholz, Louisville, $7,400
Kienholz is our favorite salary-adjusted quarterback. He has topped 300 passing yards in both games with seven total touchdowns, and SMU-Louisville is one of our favorite environments.
Kevin Jennings, SMU, $8,200
Jennings gives us the other side of that game and has averaged 35.2 DraftKings points through two games.
Running Backs
Nate Sheppard, Duke, $9,200
Sheppard has 67 touches and 409 scrimmage yards through two games. That workload is worth paying for.
King Miller, USC, $7,500
Miller handled 18 carries for 128 yards and a touchdown last week and gets a Rutgers defense that has been vulnerable against the run.
Matt Fuller, South Carolina, $4,900
Fuller is our favorite salary saver. He has scored in both games and rushed for 125 yards last week.
Wide Receivers
Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State, $8,400
Smith has topped 150 receiving yards in both games. The only concern against Kent State is how long Ohio State needs its starters.
KJ Duff, Rutgers, $8,100
Duff has 17 catches for 333 yards and five touchdowns with a massive share of the Rutgers passing game. USC should keep Rutgers throwing.
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, USC, $5,200
With Trent Mosley out, Dixon-Wyatt becomes one of the clearest role-change values. He already has 13 catches for 181 yards and two scores.
Yamir Knight, SMU, $4,100
Knight gives us cheap access to the SMU-Louisville game and makes expensive skill-position builds easier.
Stacks
SMU-Louisville: Jennings or Kienholz with Tre Richardson $6,100, Lawayne McCoy $4,600 and Knight $4,100 gives us multiple price points.
Georgia: Stockton with Nate Frazier $6,700 is our favorite mini-stack.
USC-Rutgers: Dixon-Wyatt’s new role makes USC easier to stack, while Duff is the natural bring-back.
CTS Core
- QB: Lincoln Kienholz $7,400
- RB: Nate Sheppard $9,200
- WR: KJ Duff $8,100
- Value: Kayden Dixon-Wyatt $5,200
- Game stack: SMU-Louisville
GPP Construction
We do not need to force the most expensive quarterback. Kienholz and Jennings let us spend for concentrated workloads, while Stockton remains our premium quarterback when salary cooperates.
