Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Louisiana's offense starts with Lunch Winfield, and the gap to the next Ragin' Cajun is wide. He's 23rd among FBS quarterbacks with 132.7 CollegeFFB points, and his worst outing this season was still 17 points. At $12M he costs a lot, but that floor keeps him in lineups.
Riser or value
Trenton Chaney is where the savings are. The receiver put up 13.7 points against Louisiana Tech, and at $5.1M he's projected for about 8 when Troy comes to town. That's a sensible bench piece without eating into your budget.
This week
The Trojans arrive at Cajun Field on Oct 17 with a 3-2 record. Winfield projects for about 22, right around his season average, so slot him in as a dependable start rather than a ceiling play.
