Aidan Laughery ran 17 times for 70 yards and added 4 catches for 24 yards and 1 receiving touchdown in Illinois's 38-37 win at Michigan State on Oct. 10, good for 19.4 CollegeFFB points in that game. He should keep earning opportunities, with his workload up from 9 carries a game in his previous 3 games, and he has averaged 10.6 points a game this season. At $5.2M, he is one to watch when Illinois faces Oregon on Oct. 24.

Nate Sheppard ran 27 times for 99 yards and 2 touchdowns and caught 7 passes for 91 yards in Duke's 28-25 loss at Georgia Tech on Oct. 10, good for 38 CollegeFFB points.
