Seven games make up the Saturday night classic slate on DraftKings: AF @ ARMY, UGA @ MISS, COL @ ASU, MIA @ ND, IOWA @ NW, MSU @ MICH and OU @ UF. The slate locks Sat 11/7 at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT).
Two names stand out in our model's rankings. Kemper Hodges of AF is a $7,100 quarterback projected at 19.5 with a ceiling of 46.6, far above his DraftKings average of 9.9.

Value is where lineups get built. Xavier Williams of IOWA costs $4,600 and projects at 14.5, or 3.2 points per $1,000. Cooper Barkate of MIA is $5,200 at 15.7, and Derek Eusebio of ASU is $3,800 at 10.7.
Status tags matter here. Malachi Toney of MIA, Aidan Chiles of NW and Kewan Lacy of MISS all carry an OUT tag, while Evan Medders of AF is tagged Q.
