Florida vs. Texas A&M
- Point-Spread: A&M -7.5
- O/U Total: 47.5
- Implied Score: A&M 27.5 – UF 20
- Weather: 84 degrees / 0% rain / 4 mph winds
Texas A&M:
Top Play(s) – WR Mario Craver ($6,300) and / or WR KC Concepcion ($5,900) A&M threw 22 passes last week, 15 of which were in the direction of either Craver or Concepcion in the win over Mississippi State. That’s largely consistent with the season-long trends, as the duo accounts for 54% of the target share and 71% of the team’s receiving production. You can play either or stack both together for leverage against the field.
Fade – RB Le’Veon Moss ($7,800) Moss cost me a significant chunk of coin last weekend after suffering an injury vs. Mississippi State. I’m not sure what exactly is going on with Moss but he’s been dealing with some nagging ailment for a while now. With the way that RB Rueben Owens ($4,100) looked last week, rushing for 142 yards on 21 attempts, it would not surprise us to see a split backfield against the Gators. Florida is only giving up 22 combined FPPG to opposing backfields and are 10th in rush D success rate.
Bargain Bin – See above with Rueben Owens II.
Pivot Play – QB Marcel Reed ($8,200) Many of the predictions surrounding this matchup are that it’ll be more of a defensive battle rather than an offensive shootout. For that reason, we tend to lean against Reed here, though he’s been largely consistent from a fantasy standpoint this season, scoring 23 or more fantasy points in four of five starts. The Gators are only allowing around 15 FPPG to opposing quarterbacks this season. The defense hasn’t been the issue in Gainesville.
Injury Notes – n/a
Florida:
Top Play(s) – WR Dallas Wilson ($4,700) Looks like the issues with DJ Lagway weren’t injury related, but more so that Eugene Wilson and J. Michael Sturdivant are not good wide receivers. Instantly the passing offense for the Gators came alive with Dallas Wilson in the starting lineup, catching six passes for 111 yards and two scores. We’d like to see Wilson do it two weeks in a row before fully buying in, but $4.7k is an inexpensive price to pay.
Fade – QB DJ Lagway ($7,600) Lagway threw for 298 yards last week vs. Texas and still failed to score 20 fantasy points, something he has yet to do all season still. A&M has a borderline elite pass defense, allowing just 180 YPG through the air and are giving up just 11.5 FPPG to opposing quarterbacks for the year.
Bargain Bin – Secondary WRs. Based on the rotations last week, it was a three-way split on the boundary with Wilson, Vernell Brown III and J. Michael Sturdivant each playing over 53% of the team’s offensive snaps. Aidan Mizell returned from injury and started in place of Eugene Wilson in the slot, hauling in four passes on six targets. The one WR on Florida you cannot consider at this moment would be Wilson.
Pivot Play – RB Jadan Baugh ($5,800) Another full list of Florida RBs on the injury report this week, meaning we could see 20+ attempts again for Baugh on Saturday night. A&M’s run defense is solid, allowing just 3.4 YPC so Baugh isn’t a priority play, but like last week, could hit or surpass value based on volume alone. If Ja’Kobi Jackson (questionable) doesn’t play, I couldn’t tell you who the backup is. The only other player outside of Baugh and Clark to get a carry last week was Vernell Brown.
Best of the Rest – TE Hayden Hansen ($3,400) For the fourth straight week with Tony Livingston on the shelf, Hansen has played 100% of the offensive snaps for the Gators. Hansen is first on the team in routes run, tied for second in targets (22) and second in receptions (17).
Injury Notes – RB Duke Clark (out), RB Treyaun Webb (out), RB Ja’Kobi Jackson (questionable), TE Tony Livingston (questionable)
Iowa vs. Wisconsin
- Point-Spread: Iowa -3
- O/U Total: 37
- Implied Score: Iowa 20 – Wisc 17
- Weather: 64 degrees / 10% rain / 12 mph winds
Iowa:
Don’t really know why I’m even bothering to write anything about these two offensively inept teams. Somehow the passing game for Iowa could be downgraded even more with QB Mark Gronowski ($7,200) considered a game-time decision. WR Sam Phillips ($3,200) and WR Jacob Gill ($3,400) are cheap enough to consider, and Wisconsin can be thrown on, giving up around 40 combined fantasy points per game to opposing WRs. We just don’t know yet who exactly will be throwing Phillips and Gill the football. RB Kamari Moulton ($6,000) is playable at his salary with a 14.6-point projection, but Wisconsin is best at defending the run, ranked No. 2 in the conference in yards allowed on the ground.
Wisconsin:
Out on the QB situation. Out on the running backs facing the No. 1 rush defense in the Big Ten. The only players to consider here are WR Vinny Anthony ($4,500), WR Trech Kekahuna ($3,600) or TE Lance Mason ($4,600). That trio has combined for 61% of Wisconsin’s receiving production and half of the team’s receiving touchdowns. Only interesting storyline to follow here is if this will be the last game for Luke Fickell as Wisconsin head coach.
Georgia vs. Auburn
- Point-Spread: UGA -3.5
- O/U Total: 46.5
- Implied Score: UGA 25 – Aub 21.5
- Weather: 73 degrees / 1% rain / 7 mph winds
Georgia:
Top Play(s) – QB Gunner Stockton ($6,400) We have cheap dual-threat quarterback in Stockton in a matchup between two teams that don’t defend the pass particularly well, at least for SEC standards. Auburn is 12th in the conference in yards allowed per game through the air and 106th in pass D success rate. While the Tigers will give up some chunks in the passing game, they’ve limited dual-threat QBs on the ground quite well. John Mateer had just 29 yards on 10 carries, while Marcel Reed had negative rushing yards. I believe Stockton will have high ownership because of his pricing, so make the argument of fading vs. the field.
Fade – RB Nate Frazier ($5,100) Frazier is the RB2 now. Moving on.
Bargain Bin – WR Zachariah Branch ($4,000) or WR Dillon Bell ($3,300) Smaller / shifty wide receivers have given the Auburn secondary more fits this season than the bigger-bodied types like a Colbie Young for example. That fits the description of Branch or Bell here. Isaiah Sategna had 100+ on the Tigers. KC Concepcion went over 100+ vs. Auburn. Even South Alabama slot receiver Anthony Eager had eight receptions. Bell had an exceptional game vs. Kentucky last week with 68 yards on four catches with two rushing scores. They’d be the two UGA receivers to look to.
Pivot Play – RB Chauncey Bowens ($6,500) Bowens has fully taken over the RB1 job, leading the Dawgs last week with 15 rushing attempts in the win over Kentucky. I’d lean towards fading him against this Auburn defense that is No. 3 nationally in rush D success rate and allowing a combined 13.7 FPPG to opposing backfields. And this is a Georgia offense, we know Frazier will still be involved, Josh McCray will be involved, along with Stockton in the run game.
Injury Notes – n/a
Auburn:
Top Play(s) – WR Eric Singleton ($5,200) Not sure what we’re going to see from highly-criticized Auburn offense coming out of the bye, but they need to get their big-time skill position playmakers more involved. Now healthy, we’ve seen Singleton more involved in the passing game, combining for 25 targets in the last three games. Like Auburn, Georgia is leaky at times in the secondary, allowing a combined 45 FPPG to opposing WR rooms.
Fade – Backfield. Jeremiah Cobb and Damari Alston are both cheap enough to consider, no doubt. But what’s the upside in this split backfield, that will also share carries with Jackson Arnold? The Tigers have averaging just two yards per carry as a team over the last two games, and Georgia is giving up just 14 FPPG to opposing backfields.
Bargain Bin – WR Malcolm Simmons ($4,100) Simmons’ role in the offense will increase with Horatio Fields out for the foreseeable future. Auburn’s WR3 has been targeted at least five times in each of the last three games played.
Pivot Play – WR Cam Coleman ($6,500) To quote our fearless leader Joe DiSalvo…” Cam Coleman 3-touchdown game incoming?” No, he didn’t predict that, but Coleman is good for one or two of those performances when we least expect it. At least one receiver facing Georgia in the last three games has gone for over 60 yards and a touchdown. Coleman is better than each of those players.
Best of the Rest – QB Jackson Arnold ($7,900) Arnold should essentially be viewed in the same light as Gunner Stockton, just at a much higher salary. Georgia can be had through the air, ranking 101st in pass D success rate and are giving up around 21 FPPG to opposing quarterbacks. There’s just no way to predict what Jackson Arnold we see on Saturday night. The one that dominated Baylor in Week 1 or the quarterback that has been sacked 14 times in the last two games because he can’t process a defense.
Injury Notes – WR Horatio Fields (out)
Kansas vs. Texas Tech
- Point-Spread: TT -14
- O/U Total: 59
- Implied Score: TT 36.5 – KU 22.5
- Weather: 82 degrees / 0% rain / 13 mph winds
Kansas:
Top Play(s) – TE Boden Groen ($3,100) The Rice transfer is the full-time starter at tight end with DeShawn Hanika now out for the year. Groen has been excellent over the last three games, catching a pair of touchdowns with a combined 154 receiving yards in that stretch. Tech has allowed 10.6 FPPG to tight ends this season.
Fade – RB Leshon Williams ($4,800) The general rule is to never start a running back against Texas Tech this season. Kansas is 84th nationally in EPA per run play, while the Red Raiders are the No. 3 run defense in the entire country in yards allowed and No. 2 in success rate. Williams is even more of a fade now that Daniel Hishaw was upgraded from doubtful to questionable.
Bargain Bin – WR Cam Pickett ($3,400) Pickett has been relatively quiet since the first few weeks of the season, but it sounds like health has been the reason for the drop off. He’s fully healthy headed into Saturday’s matchup from all accounts, and he looked the part against UCF with 64 yards and five catches on six targets.
Pivot Play – QB Jalon Daniels ($8,000) The only argument in favor of Daniels here is that for the Jayhawks to win, he’ll have to be the difference maker, because there isn’t much of a path for Kansas to run the ball successfully against this Tech defense. The 22.4 projection is higher than I thought it would be for Daniels, but the Jayhawks are projected to score three touchdowns, so points will have to come from somewhere. The Red Raiders are only giving up 11 fantasy points per game this season to quarterbacks, but they’ve also beaten up on a lot of bottom-feeders.
Best of the Rest – WR Emmanuel Henderson Jr. ($6,400) Chunk plays are the only way that Kansas will stand a chance at beating this Tech defense, and nobody better on this Jayhawk offense than Henderson in that category, averaging over 17 yards per catch. Kansas having its full complement of receivers healthy and available on Saturday should take some of the attention off of Henderson.
Injury Notes – TE DeShawn Hanika (out), RB Daniel Hishaw (questionable)
Texas Tech:
Top Play(s) – RB Cameron Dickey ($7,000) and / or RB J’Koby Williams ($6,800) I’ve taken my lumps this year fading the Texas Tech backfield because it’s been a 50-50 split and not factoring in how dominant the Red Raiders have been overall. Game scripts will usually be in Tech’s favor, and the team is top 25 nationally in rush success rate and No. 6 in EPA per play offensively. Williams is the ever-so-slight preferred option of the two, given he’s slightly cheaper and his usage in the passing game.
Fade – TE Terrance Carter Jr. ($6,000) Carter isn’t an outright fade, but I just don’t typically spend up for tight ends above $5k if their names aren’t Brock Bowers or Tyler Warren. Carter’s good, but it is an equal opportunity passing game with targets dispersed evenly amongst four pass-catchers. Kansas did give up 76 yards and two touchdowns to Missouri tight end Brett Norfleet.
Pivot Play – QB Behren Morton ($9,100) Playing Morton depends on the DFS site you’re on. DraftKings…a 20.7-point projection isn’t worth the top QB salary on the slate. On FanDuel…Morton is in my Core 4 at $8.8k because you can spend up elsewhere and still lock in 20 fantasy points at either your QB or SuperFlex spot. Kansas is solid against the pass, allowing just 16.9 FPPG to quarterbacks, but Morton has been so consistent this season, scoring 20+ fantasy points in four of five starts.
Best of the Rest – WRs. I think Ohio State a few years back is the best comparison here when they had Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. Not that the Tech receivers are anywhere near the talent level of that trio. But the fact that I’ll play two in my DFS lineups and it’s the third guy that hits. I’m personally done guessing here. Coy Eakin, Caleb Douglas and Reggie Virgil have been targeted 29, 31 and 32 times, respectively. Guessing game.

Clemson vs. Boston College
- Point-Spread: Clem -14.5
- O/U Total: 54.5
- Implied Score: Clem 34.5 – BC 20
- Weather: 59 degrees / 8% rain / 5 mph winds
Boston College:
Top Play(s) – WR Lewis Bond ($5,000) Yes, it was a disaster last week against Pittsburgh but let’s not forget this is a player that caught at least seven passes in each of the first four games to begin the year. Clemson is far from a shutdown secondary, ranked 10th in the conference in yards allowed through the air and 72nd in pass D success rate. Bond is tied for 18th in the country in targets (47) in only five games played.
Fade – QB Dylan Lonergan ($7,100) Former Alabama quarterbacks are having a bad couple of weeks. Jalen Hurts loses two-straight games. Eli Holstein is replaced by a true freshman who is an immediate upgrade. And the Boston College fanbase is calling for backup Grayson James. Lonergan wouldn’t be a play with a 15-point projection, and when there’s a chance he could be replaced, he’s eliminated from our player pool of options.
Bargain Bin – TE Jeremiah Franklin ($4,500) Franklin is trending downward, but is still averaging 6.6 targets per game, ranking third on the team in routes run and second in both targets (33) and receptions (23). Clemson is allowing 8.8 FPPG to tight ends this season.
Pivot Play – RB Turbo Richard ($5,200) Richard projects well for a $5.2k running back, but difficult to trust after rushing for just 6 yards on two attempts last week. Was Richard just game-scripted out of the equation? Strong lean towards Boston College simply being terrible running the football, ranked 118th in success rate and 131st in yards per game. If Richard hits value, it’ll be because of his pass-catching abilities with 17 receptions in the last four games.
Best of the Rest – WR Reed Harris ($5,400) Harris is a pivot away from Bond. He won’t see the volume, but is the team’s top big-play threat, averaging 16.8 YPC with an aDOT of 17.1 yards. BC likely won’t be able to dink and dunk Clemson down the field for sustained drives, so Harris’ big-play ability could lead to fantasy points.
Injury Notes – WR Jaedn Skeete (out)
Clemson:
Top Play(s) – QB Cade Klubnik ($9,000) Against any passing game with a pulse, Boston College has been awful on the backend, most recently allowing 331 yards and four passing touchdowns to a true freshman last week vs. Pittsburgh. Klubnik is on an upward trajectory since getting Antonio Williams back in the lineup, scoring 29 and 26 fantasy points in the last two games. BC is giving up 24 FPPG to quarterbacks this season – coincidentally right at Klubnik’s projection.
Fade – WR Antonio Williams ($6,700) I’m sure Williams will pop here one of these weeks, but it makes far more sense to save some salary and draft one of the other Clemson wideouts, both of whom have been more productive. Doesn’t help that Klubnik isn’t target Williams downfield either, with the senior slot man averaging just 8.6 YPC.
Bargain Bin – TE Christian Bentancur ($3,200) Small uptick in production of late for the redshirt freshman tight end, catching two passes in each of the last two games, including a pair of scores last week in the blowout of North Carolina. Boston College is allowing a whopping 18.6 FPPG to tight ends this season.
Pivot Play – RB Adam Randall ($7,600) Randall owners were bailed out last week as North Carolina sold out to stop the run but still managed to hit value with two receiving TDs. Randall still is dominating the volume share (48%) with 363 of the team’s 593 rushing yards for the season. And it doesn’t appear he’ll be challenged for carries anytime soon. Boston College is 35th in rush D success rate but have no faced a team this season in the top half of the country in rushing. The best rushing offense BC has faced is 96th ranked Michigan State.
Best of the Rest – WR TJ Moore ($5,500) and / or WR Bryant Wesco ($6,200) They finally priced up Moore on FanDuel, but only slightly at $6.6k. He’s still a top play on that site with over 200 receiving yards in the last two weeks. Moore has benefited most from Antonio Williams’ return to the lineup. Wesco remains atop the Clemson leaderboard in receptions (26), yards (431) and touchdowns (5). Stacking two Clemson pass-catchers in the same lineup is feasible as the Tigers are 15th in pass play rate.

Michigan vs. USC
- Point-Spread: USC -2.5
- O/U Total: 55.5
- Implied Score: USC 29 – UM 26.5
- Weather: 75 degrees / 0% rain / 14 mph winds
Michigan:
Top Play(s) – RB Justice Haynes ($7,500) Just lock it in every week. Even against the No. 1 run defense in the Big Ten last week, in a game where Michigan wants to throw the ball, Haynes still rumbled for 100+ yards. He’s now in the Heisman conversation, so look for Michigan to feed him the ball again on the road.
Fade – WR Channing Goodwin ($3,700) This was bound to happen after Goodwin’s miserable performance against Nebraska in Week 4, effectively benched last week vs. Wisconsin, playing just 10 offensive snaps. Don’t see Goodwin being part of the equation anymore barring an injury.
Bargain Bin – WR Andrew Marsh ($3,000) And as a result of Goodwin’s benching, 4-star freshman Andrew Marsh god the start and made the most of his opportunities with 80 yards on four receptions. Marsh really didn’t come off the field either, playing 80% of the offensive snaps vs. the Badgers. It’s WR Semaj Morgan ($3,800) who gets subbed out when Michigan goes to 2-TE sets for half the game.
Pivot Play – RB Jordan Marshall ($4,300) After a lackluster start to the season, Marshall is starting to get it going a bit. 52 yards and two scores vs. Central Michigan. 80 yards and a touchdown against Nebraska. And then 44 yards on nine attempts last week against a stout Wisconsin run defense. USC is 9th in the Big Ten in yards allowed per game, but rank 123rd in rush D success rate after giving up 171 yards to Illinois in Week 5.
Best of the Rest – WR Donaven McCulley ($4,900) McCulley is the established WR1 for the Wolverines with 30% of the team’s receiving yards and a team-best 19 receptions. An interesting sub-plot to the Michigan offense in 2025 is showcasing the Wolverine receivers to boost their odds in recruiting. Michigan WRs are a yearly weakness on offense and that needs to change to make the most of QB Bryce Underwood ($6,200) while he’s in the Maize and Blue uniform. There is the notion out there that OC Chip Lindsey has coaching orders to give McCulley a set number of targets each week.
Injury Notes – TE Hogan Hansen (questionable)
USC:
Top Play(s) – WR Makai Lemon ($6,900) Too cheap for arguably the second-best receiver in college football behind Jeremiah Smith. Lemon’s 46 targets account for 32% of the team’s target share with five of the 12 receiving touchdowns. Michigan has typically struggled with slot receivers in the past as their linebackers are not good in coverage. Point 1A – Nebraska’s Jacory Barney had 120 yards and two touchdowns in their earlier meeting with Michigan.
Fade – RB Eli Sanders ($5,400) Backup RB at $5.4k against this Michigan front? No chance. Sanders would only hit value if Waymond Jordan were to suffer an injury.
Bargain Bin – TE Lake McRee ($3,100) As we said above, Michigan is not particularly strong in coverage in the middle of the field, so slot receivers and tight ends can take advantage. Oklahoma’s Jaren Kanak had five receptions. Nebraska’s Luke Lindenmeyer posted 60 yards on seven targets.
Pivot Play – WR Ja’Kobi Lane ($3,700) with Makai Lemon. Lane has been injured for a few weeks now, but was a full participant in practice and had the bye week to nurse whatever was ailing him. $3.7k is absurdly low for a player of Lane’s caliber.
Best of the Rest – RB Waymond Jordan ($7,200) The Wolverines rank 9th in rush D success rate and are third in the B1G in yards allowed on the ground. It wasn’t perfect last week, though, against Wisconsin, allowing 75 yards rushing. May not sound like much, but it was more than expected against the Badgers’ inept running game. Aside from two fumbles, Jordan has been everything USC has asked for from a JUCO transfer, averaging 15.4 attp/g and 7.0 YPC. QB Jayden Maiava ($8,400) is a solid play at this price, as he’s the 7th best fantasy quarterback in the country currently, averaging 31 PPG. Michigan is just 70th in pass D success rate. Do not stack Jordan and Maiava in the same lineup – must choose one or the other.

South Carolina vs. LSU
- Point-Spread: LSU -9.5
- O/U Total: 44.5
- Implied Score: LSU 26 – SC 17.5
- Weather: 80 degrees / 0% rain / 5 mph winds
South Carolina:
Top Play(s) – WR Vandrevius Jacobs ($3,600) The former Florida State transfer has emerged as the team’s No. 1 target with back-to-back 100-yard receiving performances against Missouri and Kentucky. 12 of Jacobs’ 18 receptions this season have come in that span. When’s the last time we could say any of that about a South Carolina receiver?
Fade – RB Rahsul Faison ($3,900) Faison did score two rushing touchdowns against Kentucky but gave way to freshman RB Matthew Fuller ($3,000) who wound up with 19 carries in the win. Reading the game preview on 247Sports, Fuller is expected to take on a bigger workload this week and moving forward. Faison has averaged just two yards per carry over the last two games.
Pivot Play – QB LaNorris Sellers ($6,800) Sellers is talented enough with his arm and legs that he can put up 30+ fantasy points on any given defense. But this will be a challenge at night in Death Valley where the Tigers are allowing just 12 PPG and limiting opposing quarterbacks to just 13.5 FPPG. Trinidad Chambliss found some level of success against this LSU front in Week 5 with nearly 400 yards of total offense and 71 yards on the ground. Can Sellers replicate that? The offensive staffs for Ole Miss and South Carolina are drastically different, so probably not.
Best of the Rest – WR Nyck Harbor ($3,800) Tied for first on the team in targets (19) and first in routes run, but more often than not, Harbor is a non-factor as a receiver. The only place that Nyck Harbor is good is in the college football video game.
Injury Notes – n/a
LSU:
Top Play(s) – RB Caden Durham ($6,600) Who’d a thought that LSU would not have a fantasy-relevant player in 2025. The passing offense has been a disappointment. The tight ends are nullifying each other. And the LSU run game has been abysmal again. The Tigers rank 125th in rush success rate and are second to last in the SEC in yards per game on the ground (their opponent this week is last). Durham gets the nod as the top play because he’s healthy coming out of the bye week, LSU is getting a starting offensive linemen back this week which should help matters, and South Carolina is an average run defense for SEC standards.
Fade – QB Garrett Nussmeier ($8,700) Hard to think that Nussmeier gets going this week, potentially without his top option in the passing game in Aaron Anderson. Nuss has scored more than 14 fantasy points just once this season in a matchup with Southeastern Louisiana. Would rather spend up for Klubnik or go cheap with a Gunner Stockton and Bryce Underwood as my QBs.
Bargain Bin – WR Kyle Parker ($3,000) Parker being an option is dependent on if Aaron Anderson is a go on Saturday (sounds like he is closer to not playing). The sophomore slot receiver filled in for Anderson when he went down vs. Ole Miss two weeks ago and caught four passes for 23 yards on five targets.
Best of the Rest – WR Barion Brown ($4,800) Brown has been the most consistent (if you want to call it that) of the LSU pass-catchers, with five or more receptions in four of five games. WR Zavion Thomas ($4,000) has run the most routes of any LSU wide receiver and is tied for the team lead with two touchdowns. WR Nic Anderson ($3,700) caught a touchdown last time out vs. Ole Miss, but that’s been really his only contribution to the offense this season. There’s just not much here from a fantasy aspect.
Injury Notes – WR Aaron Anderson (questionable)
BYU vs. Arizona
- Point-Spread: BYU -1.5
- O/U Total: 47.5
- Implied Score: BYU 24.5 – Ariz 23
- Weather: 83 degrees / 75% rain / 9 mph winds
Arizona:
This matchup will either be a full-game fade or a last-minute pivot depending on how the weather transpires. The Tucson area will be feeling the aftereffects of Hurricane Priscilla. As of writing this on Friday, heavy thunderstorms are expected at game time with upwards of 20 MPH winds. There’s also talk of possibly moving the time of this game due to extreme rain and / or lightning.
Fade QB Noah Fifita ($7,800) who is largely hit or miss even when it is 75 degrees and sunshine. BYU is allowing just 15 FPPG to quarterbacks this season. RB Ismail Mahdi ($5,600) cannot be trusted after his disastrous performance last week, rushing for 30 yards vs. a porous Oklahoma State defense. BYU’s strength is defending the run, ranked 23rd in the country in yards allowed on the ground. If the rain lets up, maybe we have some interest in the receivers who are all relatively cheap. WR Kris Hutson ($4,100) has led the Wildcats in routes run in each of the last two games since coming back from injury. WR Javin Whatley ($4,200) leads the team in targets and receptions. And Kansas State transfer WR Tre Spivey ($3,600) has scored three touchdowns in the last two games, including a pair of scores vs. Oklahoma State last week.
BYU:
Top Play(s) – RB LJ Martin ($7,100) Martin will get a heavy workload regardless of a downpour or sunshine. No running back on the BYU roster that isn’t named LJ Martin has more than 90 rushing yards for the season. The Arizona run defense has been good to start the year, ranked fourth in the conference in yards allowed and giving up just 13.5 FPPG to opposing backfields. Martin is the best play for BYU, but not a must-have on the slate.
Fade – WRs If it’s a tropical storm.
Bargain Bin –WR Cody Hagen ($3,100) Hagen is one of just four BYU receivers that saw the field at all in Week 6 vs. West Virginia as the Cougars have a tight rotation at wideout. Hagen only has 65 receiving yards on the season but has been utilized in the run game in spots this season with 101 yards on the ground with two touchdowns.
Best of the Rest – QB Bear Bachmeier ($6,600) If it’s raining cats and dogs then we’ll limit our exposure to Bachmeier, and more likely not play him at all. While Bachmeier is BYU’s second-leading rusher with a team-high five rushing touchdowns, this is also a tough matchup against an Arizona defense that is giving up just 11 FPPG to opposing quarterbacks. The Wildcats have held three teams to under 100 yards passing.
