Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Even in his lowest-scoring game this season, Sam Leavitt put up 17 CollegeFFB points, and that kind of floor is rare. He's 13th in CollegeFFB points among FBS quarterbacks, and at $11.3M you're paying for a passer who rarely leaves you short.
Riser or value
Dilin Jones offers a cheaper route into the Tigers' offense. At $6.7M, he's priced below most of the backs scoring at his level, and he has put up points steadily all season. He's projected for about 17 against Mississippi State in Week 7.
This week
No. 16 Mississippi State is 4-1 and comes to Baton Rouge in Week 7 with LSU a heavy favorite. Leavitt's projection sits a hair below his season average of about 25, against a Bulldogs defense that has been easy to score on. Start him.
Player news
LSU wide receiver Phillip Wright has a leg injury, according to The Reveille.
The Reveille, Oct 15
LSU is still without tight end Trey'Dez Green for multiple weeks, according to LSU Tigers On SI. Green suffered a knee injury during LSU's 32-24 loss to Ole Miss on Sept. 19 and is expected to rejoin the team later in the season, according to The Reveille.
