News
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.
Aiden Flora ran 17 times for 86 yards and caught 2 passes for -1 yards in Iowa State's 24-10 loss at BYU on Oct. 9, good for 10.5 CollegeFFB points. At $6.2M, he should stay in the mix for the Cyclones, averaging 22.4 points a game this season with 15.7 carries per game over his previous 3 games. Iowa State visits Arizona on Oct. 24.
Iowa State wide receiver Dominic Overby suffered a season-ending injury, coach Jimmy Rogers said during an appearance on Coaches Corner. Overby has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, according to Iowa State Cyclones On SI.
