DeSean Bishop RB

DeSean Bishop ran 32 times for 159 yards and 2 touchdowns and caught 3 passes for 16 yards in Tennessee's 26-10 win over Alabama on Oct. 17, scoring 32.5 CollegeFFB points in that game. Coach Josh Heupel said he told Bishop at halftime he was going to have a big second half, and he called him "a special back." Bishop could have a path to more touches at $13.1M given the heavy workload he handled against Alabama, and he has averaged 22.2 points a game this season heading into Tennessee's Oct. 24 game at South Carolina.
