News
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.
J'Koby Williams ran 11 times for 165 yards and 2 touchdowns and added 2 catches for 8 yards in Texas Tech's 53-25 win over Arizona State on Oct. 17, good for 29.3 CollegeFFB points. Texas Tech visits Cincinnati on Oct. 24, and Williams looks like a reliable piece at $7.9M after averaging 19.6 points a game this season as a steady producer.
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.
