Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Kamario Taylor has 135.9 CollegeFFB points through five games, 21st among FBS quarterbacks. At $11.8M he costs top-tier money, but his floor of 13.7 points means even his lowest game still gave a lineup something to work with.
Riser or value
Anthony Evans III is where the better buy sits. He's 11th among FBS receivers in CollegeFFB points, and at $8.6M he's projected for about 21 at LSU in Week 7. For a wideout who can carry a lineup, that's money well spent.
This week
The Bulldogs visit No. 22 LSU on Oct 17 as a big underdog, and the Tigers are 4-2. Taylor projects for about 18, well under his average of just over 27, so he's a hold rather than a lock this week.
Player news
Mississippi State running back Fluff Bothwell has averaged 16.8 CollegeFFB points over his last three games, up from 16.2 before that.
