UCF quarterback Alonza Barnett III will reportedly miss another start due to injury, according to CBS Sports. Barnett has missed the last five weeks due to injury, and UCF will start backup quarterback Keyone Jenkins, according to Sports Illustrated.
Trent Walker had 7 catches for 104 yards and 1 touchdown in Houston's 35-32 win over Oklahoma State on Oct. 17, good for 23.4 CollegeFFB points. According to Houston Cougars On SI, it was his best performance as a Cougar. His touchdown was the second of his UH career, Houston Cougars On SI reported. Houston visits Utah on Oct. 24, and at $6.2M, Walker could remain a busy target: he has produced consistently, with 10.6 points per game this season and 4.3 catches per game across his previous 3 games.
Amare Thomas had a huge day in Houston's 35-32 win over Oklahoma State on Oct. 17, catching 7 passes for 126 yards and 2 touchdowns for 31.6 CollegeFFB points. He looks like a high-ceiling WR who could see even more of the ball, and he has kept producing, averaging 17.2 CollegeFFB points a game this season. At $11.2M, he and Houston visit Utah on Oct. 24.
Patrick Overmyer caught 8 passes for 83 yards and 4 touchdowns in Houston's 35-16 win at Kansas State on Oct. 10, scoring 40.4 CollegeFFB points in that game. That performance tied the NCAA single-game record for receiving touchdowns by a tight end, according to Houston Athletics. Averaging 17.8 points a game this season, Overmyer could continue to produce at $7M when Houston faces Oklahoma State on Oct. 17.
Conner Weigman threw for 242 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran 6 times for 21 yards in Houston's 35-16 win at Kansas State on Oct. 10, good for 27.8 CollegeFFB points. At $11.5M, he averaged 32.8 points per outing in his previous 3 games and looks positioned for more when Houston faces Oklahoma State on Oct. 17.
Josh Derry had 11 catches for 84 yards and 1 touchdown in UCF's 42-28 loss at Oklahoma State on Oct. 10, good for 25.4 CollegeFFB points in that game. The Monmouth transfer has stepped up as the Knights' leading receiver, according to UCF Knights On SI. UCF hosts BYU on Oct. 24, and Derry, averaging 11.7 points a game this season, looks like a reliable piece at $5.9M.
Caden Piening caught 7 passes for 60 yards and 1 touchdown in UCF's 42-28 loss at Oklahoma State on Oct. 10, scoring 19 CollegeFFB points in that game. The redshirt freshman has become the team's lead receiving tight end, according to UCF Knights On SI. He could have a path to more touches when UCF hosts BYU on Oct. 24, and at $4.7M he has averaged 9.2 points a game this season.
