News
BYU running back LJ Martin is expected to be sidelined for at least a month by the injury he sustained early in the Cougars' game against TCU on Oct. 3, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. If that timeline holds, Martin would also miss BYU's game against UCF on Oct. 24, according to Sports Illustrated.
Cole Tabb ran 15 times for 118 yards and 2 touchdowns and added 4 catches for 51 yards and 1 receiving touchdown in Cincinnati's 45-42 loss at West Virginia on Oct. 17, good for 38.9 CollegeFFB points in that game. He took on his biggest role of the season against West Virginia, according to Cincinnati Bearcats On SI. Cincinnati faces Texas Tech, which allows the 12th-fewest yards per carry in FBS, on Oct. 24, but Tabb has been a steady producer, averaging 21.7 points a game this season, and could stay busy at $6M.
Bear Bachmeier threw for 224 yards and 1 touchdown, ran 13 times for 45 yards and 2 touchdowns, and caught 1 pass for 15 yards and 1 touchdown in BYU's 28-24 win over Notre Dame on Oct. 17, worth 36 CollegeFFB points. He was the first BYU quarterback since Steve Young with a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in one game, according to the Deseret News. "There was no way I was going to lose to those guys tonight," Bachmeier said. At $10.1M, he is in line for more big outings when BYU visits UCF on Oct. 24, averaging 25.9 points a game this season.
Walker Lyons caught 5 passes for 49 yards and 1 touchdown in BYU's 28-24 win over Notre Dame on Oct. 17, scoring 15.9 CollegeFFB points. His touchdown came on a diving catch in the end zone that put BYU ahead, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Averaging 7.3 points a game this season, he could keep delivering at $5.4M when BYU plays at UCF on Oct. 24.
JC French threw for 389 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran 13 times for 52 yards and 1 touchdown in Cincinnati's 45-42 loss at West Virginia on Oct. 17, scoring 38.8 CollegeFFB points. The passing yardage was a career high, according to The Associated Press. Cincinnati Bearcats On SI named him its Offensive Player of the Game for the Week 7 loss to West Virginia. At $6.9M, French is averaging 24.7 points a game this season and looks primed for more big outings when Cincinnati hosts Texas Tech on Oct. 24.
Preston Rex filled in admirably for LJ Martin in BYU's backfield, according to the Deseret News, running 10 times for 66 yards and catching 2 passes for 4 yards in BYU's 28-24 win over Notre Dame on Oct. 17. He scored 9 CollegeFFB points in that game. BYU visits UCF, which allows the 28th-fewest yards per carry in FBS this season, on Oct. 24, but Rex looks like he could keep handling a hefty share of the work at $5M.
