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:
Tyler Huff, Jacksonville State – Very little chance Huff is still on waivers in your leagues, but still sitting at just 31% roster ownership on Fantrax, now having scored over 28 fantasy points in five straight contests. Bye week upcoming for Jacksonville State, but come back in two weeks to face one of the worst defenses in the country in Middle Tennessee.
Running Backs:
Tawee Walker, Wisconsin – Last chance to get Walker on your roster at 31% ownership on Fantrax. 198 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries against Rutgers, getting the bulk of the workload with Chez Mellusi no longer around. Start him up again next week vs. Northwestern, though a brutal stretch of games after that with Penn State, Iowa and Oregon in the following three matchups.
Avery Morrow, Colorado State – Morrow was injured for a brief period vs. San Jose State but did return to the game for his third-straight 100-yard rushing performance, now with five touchdowns in the last three weeks. Not sure on the extent of the injury, but Justin Marshall was seen in a sling on the sidelines, so this could be Morrow’s show the remainder of the year.
Isaac Brown, Louisville – Finally, Louisville dumped the RBBC they’d been employing the first five games and gave the freshman running back 20 carries vs. Virginia and the move paid off immediately, rushing for 146 yards and two scores. The 190-pound freshman is now averaging 8.6 yards per carry this season.
Wide Receivers:
Jackson Meeks, Syracuse – We’re interested every week in Syracuse pass-catchers as the Orange are No. 1 in the country in pass attempts per game. Didn’t think I’d say that back in August. Meeks, a former Georgia transfer, has double-digit targets in three straight games, and a receiving touchdown in four straight games.
Aaron Anderson, LSU – A model of consistency as a fantasy receiver this season as the former Alabama transfer has had at least 60 yards in every game in 2024. LSU spreads the ball around enough there you’re not going to get 20+ fantasy performances, but in PPR settings, Anderson is hitting double-digit fantasy points weekly.
Worth A Look
If you have the roster room, these prospects are worth a look.
Quarterbacks:
Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt – 23 fantasy points or more in each of the last four games for the cult here. Outside of the matchup with Texas in two weeks, the schedule is favorable for Pavia to keep this going, particularly on Saturday as Vandy takes on Ball State at home.
Running Backs:
Tre Wisner, Texas – Wisner is very close to a must-add, but faces Georgia next and we still think Jaydon Blue is going to be involved in this backfield. But it really felt like after watching the Red River Rivalry that Wisner is the better runner of the two and likely RB1 moving forward.
Ahmad Hardy, Louisiana-Monroe – The true freshman continues to be a consistent fantasy producer, now with a rushing touchdown in five of six games played. Best performance of the year with nearly 180 total yards of offense and two scores vs. Southern Miss. Hardy is a solid redraft option and a must if still somehow available in a dynasty format.
CJ Campbell, Florida Atlantic – Florida State could really use Campbell back as the former FSU transfer has six rushing touchdowns in the last four games, averaging close to five yards per attempt. This week’s matchup with UTSA will be his toughest opponent yet, ranked No. 2 in the AAC in yards allowed on the ground.
A.J. Turner, Marshall – Down week for Turner as the sophomore running back no longer averages 10 yards per carry. 97 yards on 14 attempts for Turner in the loss to Georgia Southern. Get the man more carries, Charles Huff!
Wide Receivers:
Eric Rivers, Florida International – In Week’s 3-4, Rivers had back-to-back 100-yard receiving performances. In weeks 5 and 7, Rivers combined for 22 targets with over 90 yards in each game. Lots to like here with Rivers if he’s getting high target volume as he’s averaging over 18 yards per catch and an aDOT of 17.2.
Dane Key, Kentucky – We’re so used to Kentucky spreading the ball around between three pass-catchers equally over the last few seasons. Not the case in 2024 where Key accounts for 39% of the target share and 45% of Kentucky’s total receiving yards. 20+ fantasy points in three straight weeks.
Luke Floriea, Kent State – If Kent State is throwing, the ball is going in two directions – either to Floriea or Chrishon McCray who have 93 of the team’s 141 targets. Season-high 128 yards on 12 targets in the narrow loss to Ball State.
Jakobie Keeney-James, UMass – JKJ just continues to get it done, with 80 or more receiving yards in five of the last six games, including six receptions on eight targets vs. Missouri. Bye week upcoming for the Minutemen but then it’s a matchup vs. FCS opponent Wagner.
Adrian Norton, Akron – The production isn’t always consistent but the amount of targets each week are. At least eight targets in each of the last five games for the sophomore receiver for had a season-high 165 yards vs. Western Michigan. Akron’s inability to run the football boosts Norton’s value.
Matt Sykes, Rice – The former UCLA transfer continues to be Rice’s No. 1 targets with 80 or more receiving yards in each of the last three games with a combined 34 targets in that span. We saw a bit of life finally from the Rice passing offense this week.
Tight Ends:
Terrance Carter, Louisiana – Argument to be made that Carter is the best pass-catcher on the Louisiana roster, now with 60 or more yards in three of the last four games. 11 receptions on 13 targets in the last two weeks vs. Sun Belt opponents.
