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 – Did I miss something in the last two weeks as to why Morton wasn’t the most added player on Fantrax? Maybe just that many people are settled at the quarterback position? We know Morton will start again on Oct. 22nd against West Virginia as Tyler Shough won’t be able to return from injury then, and I suspect he’s QB1 from here on out.
Jason Bean, Kansas – 38-point fantasy performance from Bean in a game where he threw two interceptions and didn’t even utilize his legs much on the ground. Shows you (1) how proficient this offensive system is under Lance Leipold, and (2) the upside of Bean when he eventually does use his legs. Tougher task this week against the No. 3 defense in the Big 12 in Baylor but will likely be projected at close to 30 fantasy points is my assumption.
Running Backs:
Sieh Bangura, Ohio – Last time Bangura will be mentioned on the report at 28% ownership. Wasn’t the peak offensive performance we’ve come to expect from Ohio this season, but Bangura still found the end-zone twice on 25 attempts against West Michigan. Bangura has also been featured in the passing game moreso than we’ve seen in the past with Ohio running backs with 15 receptions on 19 targets now. There really isn’t anything not to like here.
Casey Filkins, Stanford – Anyone noticed a difference since Filkins took over the starting job for the injured E.J. Smith? Me neither. Double-digit fantasy points in all six games played and the same effectiveness as Smith in the receiving game as well.
Wide Receivers:
Kaden Prather, West Virginia – Probably a slim chance he’s still available in your league but sitting on only 20% ownership, and a player that has really been trending up since Week 1 essentially. Six receptions in each of the last five games and had his breakout against Baylor with 109 yards and a score. Bryce Ford-Wheaton can still be a productive fantasy option, but he’s WR2 now.
Isaiah Winstead, East Carolina – Winstead has been on the list for weeks now, but finally saw a dramatic spike in ownership. Last chance at him if he’s somehow available after yet another monster performance with 154 yards and nine receptions. 31% target share by a receiver is must-have territory.
Sam Wiglusz, Ohio – Final appearance for Wiglusz as well here on the WW report. Didn’t produce the big fantasy numbers that he did the previous two games, but was still targeted 11 times against Western Michigan, resulting in eight receptions for 76 yards. 69% of Wiglusz targets this season have now come in the last four games.
Zion Bowens, Hawaii – Followed up his 100-yard performance last week by finding the end-zone again vs. Nevada, finishing with a team-high six targets. Still far from great, but you’re seeing signs each week that the Hawaii offense is taking gradual steps. Helps immensely with your No. 1 WR back in the lineup too.
