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:
Behren Morton, Texas Tech – Last time he’ll be on the WW report this season as we expect his Fantrax ownership to spike this week. Morton is close to a must-start in CFF after just two career starts, following his 325-yard, two-touchdown performance against West Virginia. Too early for this conversation, but is Morton the QB1 in College Fantasy in 2023? That’s how good he’s looked through two games.
Running Backs:
Damien Martinez, Oregon State – The signs were there this breakout was going to happen. Martinez’ reps had increased the prior two weeks, and the coaching staff gave him the bulk of the work against Colorado. Decision paid off with 178 yards and three scores on 22 attempts. Bye week upcoming for the Beavers, but there is no game remaining for Martinez (outside of maybe Oregon in the finale) where you wouldn’t start the freshman RB.
Wide Receivers:
Xavier White, Texas Tech – Myles Price is getting closer to a return, but we might still be a few week(s) off as he was not even in pads during the pregame warmups. White has been excellent in his place with eight or more receptions in each of the last three games. White also has dual eligibility at WR/RB.
Tre Harris, Louisiana Tech – Stud. Doesn’t matter who is the quarterback, Harris has been productive with a receiving touchdown in five of the last six games. Season-high 15 targets for Harris on Saturday, resulting in 8-93-3. Florida International, Middle Tennessee and Charlotte in three of the next for weeks.
Elijah Badger, Arizona State – Badger has become one of the best WRs in the Pac-12, ranked ninth in the conference in receiving yards, and now with three touchdowns in the last two games. Now averaging 7.7 targets per game with 19 in the last two weeks. The Sun Devils need to get this guy the ball even more than they have this season. Should have plenty of opportunities to score this week against Colorado.
Worth A Look
If you have the roster room, these prospects are worth a look.
Quarterbacks:
D.J. Irons, Akron – Irons is now averaging 30.1 FPPG during MAC play after combining for three touchdowns in the loss to Kent State. Biggest surprise for me is 39 pass attempts per game, second in the conference. Not a-typical for a Joe Moorhead quarterback. Tougher matchup this week for Irons facing the best scoring defense in the MAC in Miami (Ohio) but have to like his outlook for the rest of the season.
