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:
Jalon Daniels, Kansas – Let the Jalon Daniels Heisman campaign continue. Still owned in just 11% of leagues, Daniels is now averaging 39.4 FPPG with 11 touchdowns to just one interception. It’s not just the production, Daniels’ efficiency numbers are off the charts for a quarterback that only throws the ball 23 times a game. We’re going to find out how long this can last this Saturday as the Jayhawks host Iowa State.
Bo Nix, Oregon – I don’t think anyone could have forecasted three straight 40-point fantasy performances from the former Auburn transfer. And Nix looked like his former Auburn self at times in the first half against Washington State. But the senior quarterback is helping fantasy owners win weeks with his production right now. The schedule is really set up for this to continue as well, facing Stanford and Arizona in the next two games.
Running Backs:
Jaydn Ott, California – Don’t think we’ll be seeing much of DeCarlos Brooks or Damien Moore moving forward…or at least we shouldn’t. Ott was the top ranked player, regardless of player, by Pro Football Focus in Week 4, scoring a perfect 99.1 overall grade. 132 yards after contact and 12 missed tackles forced. Washington State will provide a tougher task this week for Ott, allowing just 3.19 YPC. Arizona’s run defense is lifeless.
Samson Evans, Eastern Michigan – Evans turned out to be a bust this week for fantasy owners the picked him up, rushing for just 52 yards in a loss to Buffalo. Not having your starting quarterback didn’t help matters. But we’re giving it a go one more week with Eastern Michigan taking on a helpless UMass team at home. Against Tulane and Toledo in the first two weeks, the Minutemen allowed a combined 10 rushing touchdowns.
Wide Receivers:
Cam Camper, Indiana – Last time we’ll have Camper on this list at 15% ownership. Hauled in another 10 receptions on 17 targets which puts him No. 1 in the country in that category. Believe he got nicked up at the end of the matchup with Cincinnati, but the volume Camper is seeing each week is incredible.
Devontez Walker, Kent State – We had Devontez Walker projected at 40 receptions this year, so he was on our radar to an extent, but credit goes to Nate Marchese (CFFNate) spotlighting this gem of a receiver for the Flashes. The 6-foot-3 sophomore now has a touchdown in three of the four games played this season and hauled in seven receptions on a team-high eight targets on the road against the defending national champions. Walker averaged 14.4 FPPG against that gauntlet of a non-conference schedule. What’s in store for MACtion?
De’Corian Clark / Joshua Cephus, UTSA – All three wide receivers just continue to eat and get fat with fantasy points in this offense. Zakhari Franklin, Cephus and Clark are now all averaging over 20 FPPG this season. The Roadrunners have an exceptional quarterback and are very hit-or-miss in the running game without Sincere McCormick.
Troy Franklin, Oregon – Solidified his WR1 standing again vs. Washington State with 137 yards and a touchdown on five targets. His target volume doesn’t scream must-add, but his big-play ability downfield is unmatched among the Oregon receivers. An aDOT of over 20.0 in the last two weeks.
LaJohntay Wester, Florida Atlantic – JeQuan Burton was the receiver to own through two games, but Wester has been blazing through defenses the last three weeks with a combined 22 receptions on 32 targets with five touchdowns.
Tight Ends:
Caden Prieskorn, Memphis – Playing out as we sort of expected in the preseason where Memphis does not have a Calvin Austin or Sean Dykes type player at either position. But the 6-foot-6 sophomore tight end is doing his best Dykes impersonation with four receiving touchdowns in the last three weeks. Prieskorn leads the team in catches and tied for the team lead in targets.
