Jaylon Hawkins had 6 catches for 84 yards and 1 touchdown in San Diego State's 26-23 win over Fresno State on Oct. 17, good for 20.4 CollegeFFB points. Hawkins looks like he should keep getting chances in the San Diego State passing game at $5.3M, with his production carrying on from earlier in the year at 9.6 points a game this season. San Diego State plays at Colorado State on Oct. 24.
Owen Eshelman threw for 289 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran 15 times for 136 yards and 1 touchdown in Washington State's 48-30 loss at Oregon State on Oct. 17, good for 37.2 CollegeFFB points at Oregon State. Eshelman was making his first career start in Week 7, and he "looked sharp," according to The Spokesman-Review.
