Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Kevin Jennings came out of the Oct 3 win over Boston College with 127.4 CollegeFFB points through five games. That ranks 26th among FBS quarterbacks, and at $9.4M he costs about what a mid-range starter should, which makes him a sensible place to spend.
Riser or value
Yamir Knight lets you save a few million without giving up much. The receiver costs $6.2M and projects for about 14 points in Week 7, a solid return for a mid-priced roster spot.
This week
SMU hosts Virginia, a 4-2 team, on Oct 17 after a Week 6 bye. Jennings projects for about 20, below his season average, so he's a dependable start, though not a week to expect a ceiling game.
