Marcel Williams caught 6 passes for 42 yards and 1 touchdown in Akron's 34-14 loss at Miami (OH) on Oct. 17, good for 16.2 CollegeFFB points. 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. At $10.5M, Gant has been a steady producer, averaging 16.8 points and 19.3 carries a game in his previous 3 games, and he figures to stay involved when Akron visits Kent State on Oct. 24.
