Notre Dame vs Arkansas
- Point Spread: Notre Dame -4.5
- Total : 64.5
Top Play(s) – Taylen Green ($9,100) was pretty bad last week against Memphis and yet managed to put up 23 fantasy points. He had some bad luck when it came to touchdown equity which I expect to turn around against Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish defense has been weak in 2025, giving up 250+ pass yards in back to back games and over 32 points allowed per game on defense this season. This isn’t your father’s Notre Dame defense. If Arkansas is going to perform to the level of their implied team total (29.5) then Green will be a huge part of it.
Coming into the season, Jeremiyan Love ($8,500) had never run for 17 times or more in a game. He’s done that in back to back games and with over 50% of rushing usage on top of that. A new quarterback and desperation thanks to 2 early losses will do that to an offensive system. Love’s production has come both through the air (4 receptions in 2 of 3 games) and big plays (8.3ypc against Purdue). Arkansas just gave up 147 on 12 carries to Sutton Smith, so why wouldn’t Love be able to do damage against the Razorbacks?
Fade – After their first game in which Notre Dame ran CJ Carr ($8,500) 11 times, he has since run the ball 5 times. Now, one of those games was a blowout but that Texas A&M game was tight throughout and yet they still preferred to have others tote the rock. Carr has looked better passing in those games but the volume just won’t be enough to warrant this price tag.
Bargain Bin – Notre Dame barely threw the ball against Purdue last week, but they did start the game off with a 60+ yard bomb to Malachi Fields ($3,800). He didn’t do much after that but that was the game script. In the shootout against the Aggies, Fields saw 11 targets catching 5 of them for 77 yards.
Pivot Play – If for some reason we do see a split backfield that’s even, Jadarian Price ($6,300) could be a huge play. He has 6 touchdowns on the season, all of them coming in the past two games. His higher price tag should lower his ownership.
Mike Washington Jr. ($6,100) has hit double digit fantasy points in all 4 contests this season. Like Price, he’s found success thanks to the end zone, scoring 5 times. If Notre Dame keys on Taylen Green then Washington could be the big time benefactor.
Injury Notes – N/A
Cincinnati vs Kansas
- Point Spread: Kansas – 4.5
- Total: 55.5
Top Play(s) – Jalon Daniels ($7,100) is really the top guy to target in this game from a pure production standpoint. Although honestly, nobody really jumps out as an elite high end performer. Daniels is a lower volume high efficiency guy that we have to hope benefits from Daniel Hishaw Jr. likely sitting this one out. Does the running back room thinning out mean more goalline opportunities for Daniels? He does have a high floor, but there is concern that this game stays lower scoring and his overall production is underwhelming for tournament entries.
Fade – You shouldn’t be targeting Cincinnati running backs in this one. Both Tawee Walker ($6,600) and Evan Pryor ($5,200) are aggressively priced and are splitting the backfield usage. It also doesn’t help that Sorsby is the main guy when it comes to rushing touchdowns.
Bargain Bin – What a bargain Brendan Sorsby ($6,400) is on this slate. Coming off the bye week, Sorsby should be well rested for their Big 12 opener. His volume isn’t going to knock your socks off (38 opportunities his best so far in 2025), but he’s the key to this offense. The implied team total sitting around 25 isn’t ideal, but the pricing helps us out here. The Mountaineer defense was exposed against Missouri allowing over 76% completion rate and 3 touchdowns on 39 attempts otherwise they really haven’t been tested. Sorsby is a bargain due to Vegas hating their outlook and lack of high end upside, but he’s certainly worth considering in all formats.
Leshon Williams ($3,900) certainly holds a ton of value if Hishaw is in fact injured for this one. He left the game fairly early and reports have come out that he was battling injuries during practice. Williams looked great in limited action against Fresno State in week 0 and he too battled injuries. Last week’s big performance over West Virginia (19/129/1) shows us that the price is right even with Kansas having an implied team total sitting in the teens.
Pivot Play – It won’t be a popular move at all but rostering Emmanuel Henderson Jr. ($4,700) could pay off in tournaments. He has a return touchdown on the year to go with 2 touchdown receptions in the opener. I don’t love this play as the volume is likely to be limited (6.5 targets per game in 2025), but the ownership is likely to be miniscule.
