Fantasy outlook
The anchor
The first Baylor name worth knowing is Gavin Freeman. He sits 28th among FBS receivers with 101.9 CollegeFFB points, and the gap to the next Bear is wide. At $5.8M he's priced like a depth receiver, and his lowest score in any game was 11.7 points.
This week
TCU comes to Waco at 2-3 on Oct 17, but its defense ranks eighth in FBS in points allowed. Freeman projects for about 17 against the Horned Frogs, a step below his season average. At his price he still belongs in your lineup as a dependable weekly starter.
