Michael Hawkins threw for 464 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran 26 times for 77 yards and 2 more scores in West Virginia's 45-42 win over Cincinnati on Oct. 17, good for 50.3 CollegeFFB points. West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said, "He made some great throws and hung in there," adding that he has no hesitation that Hawkins can make the throw on any pass play. At $9.4M, Hawkins has been an elite producer, averaging 36.2 points a game this season, and should remain a fantasy focal point when West Virginia visits TCU, despite the Horned Frogs allowing the 16th-fewest yards per pass attempt this season in FBS.
Dominic Knicely ran 18 times for 90 yards and added 1 catch for 5 yards in Coastal Carolina's 35-32 loss to App State on Oct. 16, good for 10.5 CollegeFFB points against App State. At $7.7M, he figures to remain involved, averaging 14.7 points per game in his previous 3 games and 15.3 carries per game in his previous 3 games. Coastal Carolina visits Georgia State, which allows the 41st-most yards per carry in FBS this season, on Oct. 31.
Robby Washington had 5 catches for 118 yards and 1 touchdown in Coastal Carolina's 35-32 loss to App State on Oct. 16, good for 22.8 CollegeFFB points. Averaging 9.1 points a game this season, Washington could keep it going at $5.9M when Coastal Carolina visits Georgia State on Oct. 31.
DJ Epps caught 8 passes for 163 yards and 1 touchdown, adding 1 carry for 3 yards, in West Virginia's 45-42 win over Cincinnati on Oct. 17, good for 30.6 CollegeFFB points in that game. Averaging 15.6 points a game this season, Epps could continue to produce at $6.1M when West Virginia visits TCU on Oct. 24.
