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:
Chandler Rogers, North Texas – Has there been a better fantasy quarterback over the last five weeks with Rogers now averaging over 31 FPPG in that span? This may not be the week to start Rogers if you can withstand it, facing a Tulane defense allowing just 14.9 FPPG to opposing QB1s, but you no doubt want the UNT starter the rest of the way.
Jordan McCloud, James Madison – If it hasn’t been already, I’m ready to declare it – James Madison HC Curt Cignetti is a quarterback whisperer. If you turn Jordan McCloud and Todd Centeio into near elite CFF QB options, you’re a whisperer. 30+ fantasy points in each of the last three games. Trip to Marshall should be difficult next week, but there is no defense threatening this offense beyond the Herd when looking at the remaining schedule.
Running Backs:
Makhi Hughes, Tulane – Hughes’ touch counts the last five games – 24, 14, 6, 23, 26. Four of those five games were relatively competitive, with the 36-7 blowout over Nicholls State being the matchup where Hughes had just five rushing attempts. Paints a clear picture that the true freshman is Tulane’s RB1 now and moving forward. North Texas allows THE MOST fantasy points in the country to opposing running backs, so this is as dreamy a matchup as you could ask for.
Dillon Johnson, Washington – Johnson is always going to hold value no matter the amount of carries he receives, because of the amount of scoring opportunities there will be in this Washington offense. But you give him 20 carries in a game, and Johnson is close to a must-have in your lineup weekly. Best part about this situation for Johnson owners – Washington isn’t rotating in any other backs right now. Johnson owns this Washington backfield.
Wide Receivers:
Noah Smith, Sam Houston State – The Bearkats remain winless, but a noticeable uptick offensively, specifically with the passing game. The key cog has been senior receiver Noah Smith who now has double-digit targets in each of the last three games. Bigger priority in full-point PPR formats as Smith is only averaging 8.2 YPC.
Xavier Restrepo, Miami – I noted in our DFS writeup that I was tentative this week with Restrepo facing one of the best nickel backs in college football. Didn’t matter. 11-96-2 on 18 targets for Restrepo who will have a 100-target, and 1,000-yard receiving season at this pace. 31 targets in the last two games alone.
Tight Ends:
Holden Willis, Middle Tennessee – Still under the 30% ownership threshold in Week 7 so we’ll include another week (so long as he has TE eligibility in your league). 31 of his season-long 35 targets have come in the last four games.
Jack Velling, Oregon State – The Beavers have a tradition of top-end tight end development, and Velling looks to be next in line with five receiving touchdowns in the last two games alone. Has seen at least four targets in all but one game this season.
