Fantasy outlook
The anchor
If you're picking one Massachusetts player, it's T.Y. Harding. He has 93.7 CollegeFFB points through six games, 42nd among FBS wide receivers. He's the receiver to put in your squad when you want a piece of this offense.
Riser or value
Curtis Kimmons IV gives you a cheaper option out of the backfield. He scored 11.3 CollegeFFB points against Miami (OH) in Week 6. For $4.7M, a projection of about 9 against Buffalo makes him a sensible bench piece.
This week
Buffalo, 3-3 on the season, is the Week 7 opponent, and the Bulls' defense ranks in the bottom half of FBS in points allowed. Harding projects for about 13, a few points under the nearly 16 he averages a game. Start him with steady expectations and don't count on a monster game.
Player news
Massachusetts head coach Joe Harasymiak indicated quarterback William Watson is unlikely to suit up against Buffalo, barring any sudden improvements, according to the Daily Hampshire Gazette. Watson sustained an ankle injury against Eastern Michigan on Oct. 3, the Gazette reported.
