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:

Max Duggan, TCU – Still plenty of frustrating moments from Duggan who does still struggle with some accuracy issues but cannot deny the production with 13 total touchdowns in the last three games. We know Chandler Morris is healthy, but there is no way the staff can make the switch back if Duggan continues to perform like this. He’s got a ton of weapons at receiver – while barely even target Quentin Johnston (sigh) – and his offensive line is allowing Duggan to just sit back and survey the field with confidence. Road trip to Kansas upcoming. 

 

Kurtis Rourke, Ohio – Just a year ago, Ohio had the worst passing offense in the MAC. Five games into 2022 and the Bobcats are No. 1 in the conference and No. 13 nationally at 315.4 yards per game. And that’s even after games against superior opponents in Penn State and Iowa State. 

 

Running Backs:

Dae Dae Hunter, Liberty – For the next two weeks at the very least, we want to get All Dae Dae Hunter, as they call him, on our roster facing a UMass defense that is allowing 178 yards per game on the ground. After that, another favorable matchup hosting Gardner-Webb. Reps have increased over the last three games, averaging over six yards a carry on the year. 

 

CJ Beasley, Coastal Carolina – Max Balthazar was getting some early run against Georgia Southern, but it was still Beasley who led the team with 12 carries, including a dazzling 24-yard touchdown run in the closing moments to seal the victory. It doesn’t sound like Braydon Bennett will return anytime soon at this point, and Reese White has missed the last two games. 

 

Wide Receivers:

Rome Odunze, Washington – We’re including Odunze in the must-add section with the understanding that it could very well be Jalen McMillan or Ja’Lynn Polk as the top receiver next week. Fact of the matter, though, is that Odunze has scored 20 or more fantasy points in three of four games played, and 30 or more fantasy points in the last two weeks. Arizona State and Arizona in consecutive weeks means big games ahead for the Washington passing game. 

 

Devontez Walker, Kent State – Another reminder to scoop up Walker while you can at just 8% ownership. Any notion that Dante Cephas wasn’t the WR1 here was crazy talk, but the duo is absolutely dominating the team target share at 64%. 6-107-0 on eight targets is still a very productive game for a WR2. 

 

Bru McCoy, Tennessee – From reports, Cedric Tillman is expected to be out 4-5 weeks. Looks like he had the same procedure done that Tua Tagovailoa had at Alabama which kept him out 28 days. Ramel Keyton filled in for Tillman in the starting lineup, but it was McCoy that had made up for his production with 102 yards and five receptions against Florida. Both he and Jalin Hyatt will be the top two targets for the next month or so, and not sure we see a ton of drop off. 

 

Tight Ends:

Ja’Tavion Sanders, Texas – There was that two-week lull there vs. Alabama and UTSA, but we’re going to attribute that to competition played and Hudson Card. Texas doesn’t have anyone outside of Worthy that is trusted enough to catch the football, and Quinn Ewers should be back…this week? Boost to Sanders and all of the Texas pass-catchers.
