Snatch ‘Em Up Now
If they weren’t already drafted in your league, these guys will be hot commodities on the wire this week.
Quarterbacks:
Jacob Zeno, UAB – Trent Dilfer was in the headlines for his blowup on an assistant coach on the sidelines two weeks ago against Tulane. This week he should be praised for the transformation of senior quarterback Jacob Zeno who has now scored 28 fantasy points or more in all but one game this season. Another favorable matchup this week against a UTSA defense that allowed 500 passing yards to Temple this past Saturday.
Chandler Rogers, North Texas – 25 or more fantasy points in four of the five games played this season. Makes you wonder why the UNT staff even considered Stone Earle the starter initially. Faces a Temple defense this week that is allowing the 15th most fantasy points in the country to opposing quarterbacks.
Running Backs:
Tyre Shelton, Louisiana Tech – Does Marquis Crosby get his job back even when healthy? And will he ever be healthy, after missing last week’s contest? Shelton, the Miami (Ohio) transfer who has dual WR/RB eligibility, hit 100 rushing yards for the third time in the last three weeks, and will face a mediocre Middle Tennessee rush defense on Tuesday.
Ayo Adeyi, North Texas – Third time in three games that Adeyi has hit the century mark in rushing yards, and now has a matchup with a Temple defense that is allowing the third most fantasy points in the country to opposing running backs. Adeyi will share the backfield at times with Isaiah Johnson and Oscar Adaway, but he appears to be the team’s top RB for now.
Larry McCammon, Florida Atlantic – Wouldn’t be surprised to see FAU continue to lean more into the run game now that Casey Thompson is out for the season due to injury. And we’ve seen exactly that in the last two games with McCammon garnering 16 and 26 rushing attempts in Week’s 4 and 6. South Florida and their dreadful rush defense are upcoming this Saturday.
Wide Receivers:
Xavier Restrepo, Miami – Last chance at rostering Restrepo as he’s currently owned in just 25% of Fantrax leagues yet has hit 100 yards receiving in three of the last four weeks.
Joey Hobert, Texas State – Three touchdowns in the last three weeks for the former Washington State transfer. A bigger reason that Hobert is a must-add is his increased usage in that stretch with 31 of his 45 targets coming in the last three games. Favorable matchup next week with the 13th ranked defense in the Sun Belt in Louisiana-Monroe.
Eric McAlister, Boise State – Looks like it doesn’t matter which Boise State QB is under center, McAlister will still give us tremendous fantasy production, finishing with 5-170-1 on nine targets in the win over San Jose State. 30% of Boise State’s target share belongs to McAlister.
Tight Ends:
Holden Willis, Middle Tennessee – Essentially a big slot receiver, or TEITO (Tight End In Title Only), created by friend of the site Eric Froton, Willis has carved out a major role in the MTSU passing game with 25 of his 29 targets coming in the last three weeks. Definite add if TE eligibility on Fantrax.
Worth A Look
If you have the roster room, these prospects are worth a look.
Quarterbacks:
Jase Bauer, Central Michigan – I’m guessing the Akron defense was deflated this week after the overtime loss last Saturday to Buffalo, and then learning that QB1 DJ Irons is out for the season. 55 points and almost 300 rushing yards allowed to Antario Brown and this mediocre NIU offense. Bodes well for Jase Bauer this week who’s scored 21 or more fantasy points in the last three games.
Zeon Chriss, Louisiana – Very proficient day from Chriss against one of the better defenses in the Sun Belt, as he combined for four total touchdowns in the win over Texas State. Bye week for Louisiana in Week 7, then takes on a Georgia State defense that is only allowing 15 FPPG to opposing QB1s this season, followed by a Week 9 matchup with arguably the best defense in the Sun Belt in South Alabama. Only reason why Chriss isn’t higher on the list.
Behren Morton, Texas Tech – Morton hasn’t had to do much with Tahj Brooks becoming an absolute workhorse in the Tech backfield, but the sophomore QB played extremely well against Baylor with three passing scores. There will come a time here in the future where defenses will load up against the run and force Morton to beat them. And then we’ll see Tech revert back to their Air Raid ways.
