News

Messiah Burch RB

Messiah Burch ran 28 times for 172 yards in Buffalo's 25-18 win over Massachusetts on Oct. 17, good for 17.2 CollegeFFB points. He should keep getting chances in the Buffalo backfield, having averaged 22 carries a game in the 3 games before that, and he has been a steady producer, averaging 12.2 points a game this season. At $6M, he looks like a useful RB option when Buffalo faces Bowling Green, which allows the 8th-most yards per carry in FBS, on Oct. 24.
