Michael Hawkins threw for 464 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran 26 times for 77 yards and 2 more scores in West Virginia's 45-42 win over Cincinnati on Oct. 17, good for 50.3 CollegeFFB points. West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said, "He made some great throws and hung in there," adding that he has no hesitation that Hawkins can make the throw on any pass play. At $9.4M, Hawkins has been an elite producer, averaging 36.2 points a game this season, and should remain a fantasy focal point when West Virginia visits TCU, despite the Horned Frogs allowing the 16th-fewest yards per pass attempt this season in FBS.
DJ Epps caught 8 passes for 163 yards and 1 touchdown, adding 1 carry for 3 yards, in West Virginia's 45-42 win over Cincinnati on Oct. 17, good for 30.6 CollegeFFB points in that game. Averaging 15.6 points a game this season, Epps could continue to produce at $6.1M when West Virginia visits TCU on Oct. 24.
Jekail Middlebrook ran 14 times for 59 yards and caught 3 passes for 19 yards in Virginia's 23-13 loss at SMU on Oct. 17, good for 10.8 CollegeFFB points against SMU. Averaging 12.9 points per game in his previous 3 games, with 10.7 carries per game over his previous 3 games, Middlebrook could carry that form forward when Virginia hosts Duke on Oct. 23, at $5.8M.
Virginia wide receiver Rico Flores Jr., who was hurt in the Cavaliers' 28-25 win over Syracuse on Oct. 10, won't play against SMU, coach Tony Elliott said. The Cavaliers are awaiting imaging results after the non-contact injury against Syracuse, according to Virginia Cavaliers On SI. There had been no official update on Flores as of Wednesday beyond that he will not play at SMU on Saturday, the outlet reported.
