Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Charlotte's fantasy output starts and ends with Jaden Barnes, who has 69 CollegeFFB points through six games. At $8.9M he isn't cheap for a receiver on a struggling offense, but he's the one 49er with a real case for a starting spot.
Riser or value
Derrick Eley is the cheaper piece at $5.4M, projected for about 8 CollegeFFB points in Week 7. He has 50.8 points on the season.
This week
Charlotte visits Temple on Oct 17, and the Owls are 2-4. The 49ers' implied total sits at 13 points, so scoring chances will be scarce. Barnes projects for about 12, right around his average, which makes him a steady start rather than a ceiling play.
