Dominick Barry TE

Dominick Barry had a big day in Wake Forest's 41-7 win at California on Oct. 17, catching 4 passes for 102 yards and 3 touchdowns for 32.2 CollegeFFB points. They were the first touchdowns of his college career, according to Wake Forest Demon Deacons On SI. Averaging 11.9 points a game this season, the TE could build on it when Wake Forest hosts Virginia on Oct. 31, and he looks like a value at $5.1M.

Marcel Williams WR

After averaging 3.5 catches per game over his previous 2 games, he looks like a growing part of Akron's passing attack, and at $9.1M he could carry that momentum forward when Akron visits Kent State on Oct. 24.

Jordan Gant RB

Jordan Gant ran 15 times for 46 yards and 1 touchdown and added 2 catches for 7 yards in Akron's 34-14 loss at Miami (OH) on Oct. 17, good for 13.3 CollegeFFB points.

Brayden Roggow threw for 229 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran 6 times for 0 yards in Akron's 25-23 loss to Eastern Michigan on Oct. 10, good for 21.2 CollegeFFB points.
