Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Start your Kansas State shopping with Avery Johnson. He has 124.7 CollegeFFB points through five games, 28th among FBS quarterbacks, and no Wildcat is close to him. His worst game still produced 17.2 points, so at $10.6M you're paying for a steady quarterback.
Riser or value
Rodney Fields is the bargain on this roster. The running back has averaged about 13 points a game all season, and at $5.1M he's priced well below what he produces. He's projected for about 12 against Kansas in Week 7, a solid return for a bench spot.
This week
Kansas comes in at 2-3 and visits Manhattan in Week 7. Johnson projects for about 22, a little under his season average, which makes him a dependable start but not a ceiling play.
Player news
Kansas State tight end Garrett Oakley has an injury heading into Kansas State's game on Saturday, according to Sports Illustrated. He is listed as questionable. He's averaged 11.9 CollegeFFB points over his last three games, up from 6.0 before that.
