News
Evan Medders has replaced the injured Liam Szarka at quarterback for Air Force, according to The Gazette, and he ran 18 times for 152 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 18 passing yards, in Air Force's 41-31 win over UNLV on Oct. 17. That followed his first career start, against Northern Illinois on Oct. 10, which earned him National Football Foundation Player of the Week honors in Week 6. At $5.5M, he looks in line for more of the same at Wyoming on Oct. 23: he has been a steady producer, averaging 13.4 points a game this season, while attempting 1.7 passes a game in his previous 3 games.
Jaden Smith broke out with 12 catches for 90 yards and 21 CollegeFFB points in UTEP's 24-11 loss to San José State on Oct. 17. UTEP visits North Dakota State on Oct. 31, and Smith looks like he could keep drawing heavy volume, having averaged 4.3 catches per game across his previous 3 games. At $6.5M, he has averaged 8.4 points a game this season, and his Oct. 17 output hints at more upside.
Owen Allen ran 19 times for 96 yards and 1 touchdown in Air Force's 41-31 win over UNLV on Oct. 17, scoring 15.6 CollegeFFB points in that game. Allen could have a path to more touches, as his workload against UNLV topped the 11 carries a game he averaged over his previous 3 games, and he is producing 8.6 points a game this season. Air Force visits Wyoming on Oct. 23, with Allen priced at $7.5M.
Raymond Moore III threw for 132 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran 15 times for 65 yards in UTEP's 30-13 loss to Nevada on Oct. 10, good for 19.8 CollegeFFB points. At $4.9M, he should remain a factor for fantasy, averaging 9 points a game this season, as UTEP faces San José State on Oct. 17.
