Dominick Barry had a big day in Wake Forest's 41-7 win at California on Oct. 17, catching 4 passes for 102 yards and 3 touchdowns for 32.2 CollegeFFB points. They were the first touchdowns of his college career, according to Wake Forest Demon Deacons On SI. Averaging 11.9 points a game this season, the TE could build on it when Wake Forest hosts Virginia on Oct. 31, and he looks like a value at $5.1M.
Gio Lopez threw for 267 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran 8 times for 51 yards in Wake Forest's 41-7 win at California on Oct. 17, good for 31.8 CollegeFFB points. Wake Forest hosts Virginia on Oct. 31, and Lopez has been a steady producer, averaging 29.3 points a game this season, so at $7.9M he shapes up as a reliable piece at quarterback.
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.
