Quarterback
Stud
Noah Fifita, Arizona vs. OK State, $8,800
Oklahoma State has been one of the worst teams in college football this season. They rank 134th out of 136 teams in net EPA/play. Noah Fifita should be able to rack up numbers against them, just like every other opposing quarterback has. Oklahoma State ranks 127th in the nation in defensive EPA/pass. They are allowing over 310 passing yards per game to opponents this season. Fifita is capable of putting up huge numbers against bad secondaries, throwing for 373 yards and five scores against Weber State earlier this season. Since the firing of Mike Gundy, all signs point to this being a lost season for Oklahoma State, and they might not give a top effort here, allowing Fifita to pick them apart.
Value
Rocco Becht, Iowa State at Cincinnati, $6,100
Rocco Becht is an underrated quarterback, throwing for over 3,000 yards each of the past two seasons. He ranked 11th in the nation in passing yards last season and is having a strong start to this season. Becht has Iowa State out to a 5-0 record, hoping to compete for a Big 12 title this season. This is a big game against Cincinnati to keep the perfect season going, and Becht should bring his A-game. Cincinnati has been phenomenal against the run, ranking 14th in the country in defensive EPA/rush. However, they rank 133rd in defensive EPA/pass, a bottom-five mark in the country. Becht will need to throw downfield if Iowa State wants to move the ball, and he should have success doing so.
Running Back
Stud
Dylan Edwards, Kansas State at Baylor, $7,500
Kansas State desperately missed Dylan Edwards this season. Edwards got injured on his first touch of the football in the season opener, then re-aggravated that injury when he attempted to return against Arizona. Kansas State went 1-3 over those first four games, only winning a tight game against an FCS team. Finally, last week against UCF, Edwards was back to full strength and ready to salvage anything from this season. He carried the ball 20 times for 166 yards and a touchdown in that game. He looked unstoppable in that game and should keep it rolling against Baylor. The Bears rank 97th in the nation in defensive EPA/rush. Kansas State will want to run the football to play keep-away from Sawyer Robertson, so Edwards should have another huge game.
Value
Kaytron Allen, Penn State at UCLA, $5,700
Kaytron Allen and Penn State need a bounce-back performance after their tough loss to Oregon in last week’s big game. There is no better spot for a bounce-back win than against a UCLA team that has been a trainwreck this season. UCLA is 0-4 on the season and has already fired its head coach, DeShaun Foster. Things could get ugly at UCLA this season, and it’s difficult to imagine them putting up much of a fight against Penn State. Kaytron Allen has been Penn State’s leading rusher this season, with over 100 yards more than Nic Singleton, despite Singleton having more carries. Allen is averaging an incredible 7.1 yards per carry. He should slice up the UCLA defense and have a massive game on the ground.
Wide Receiver
Stud
Germie Bernard, Alabama vs. Vanderbilt, $6,900
Germie Bernard is having an incredible season for Alabama. Bernard is one of the last remaining players from Kalen DeBoer’s Washington team that went to the national title game. Bernard followed DeBoer to Alabama, and this season, former Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb also reunited with them in Tuscaloosa. The familiarity between the coaches and Bernard shines through, as they trust him to get the ball by any means necessary and make something happen. Bernard leads Alabama in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He also has a rushing touchdown this season. He should have another big game in this revenge spot against Vanderbilt.
Value
Jordan Faison, Notre Dame vs. Boise State, $4,900
Jordan Faison has caught fire for Notre Dame the last two weeks. Just like everyone else on the Fighting Irish, he came out of the blocks slowly to start the season. However, he went off for 105 yards and a touchdown against Purdue. He then followed that up with seven catches for 89 yards against Arkansas last week. Notre Dame’s offense has clicked into high gear and shouldn’t slow down against Boise State. The Broncos have not had to face a great passing quarterback all season, and CJ Carr should be able to pick them apart in the secondary. Carr and Faison have formed a great connection recently, and it should be another big game for Faison.
Flex/Superflex
You can use any of the other names I listed in the above categories for the flex or superflex positions. However, here are a few more names, just in case.
Stud
Sawyer Robertson, QB, Baylor vs. KSU, $9,300
Sawyer Robertson leads the nation in passing yards after the first five weeks of the season. The Baylor quarterback has over 1,700 passing yards and 17 passing touchdowns, also leading the nation. The Kansas State defense ranks 83rd in the nation in defensive EPA/drive, and Robertson should move it against them. Part of the reason for Robertson’s huge numbers is the struggles of his own defense. He has thrown the ball at least 35 times in every game this season because he often needs to push it all game to keep his team in the game. This should be an exciting back-and-forth game, where Robertson is forced to throw downfield from start to finish to get the win for Baylor.
Value
Chauncey Bowens, RB, Georgia vs. Kentucky, $6,200
Chauncey Bowens should start seeing a lot more action in the Georgia backfield. Georgia’s starting running back, Nate Frazier, has major fumble issues. This was a problem for Frazier last season, which took touches away from him in 2024. He went into this season as the starter but had a key fumble against Alabama that contributed to Georgia’s loss. After Frazier’s fumble, Kirby Smart did not let him back on the field. Bowens took over as the primary back, carrying the ball 12 times against Alabama. He took those 12 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown, an average of almost ten yards per carry. Bowens also had four catches for 22 yards moreover. He should be the new go-to guy in the backfield for Georgia moving forward and he should have a big game against Kentucky.
