Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Umari Hatcher leads Syracuse with 132.9 CollegeFFB points through five games. He costs $6.3M and averages 26.6 points a game.
Riser or value
Tylik Hill fills a running back spot for $4.7M. He's averaging about 12 CollegeFFB points a game, and he projects for about 9 against Louisville in Week 7. That's a fair return from one of the cheaper backs you can roster.
This week
Louisville is 3-3 and visits the JMA Wireless Dome on Oct 17, with Syracuse a big underdog by 15.5 points. Hatcher projects for about 22, below his average of nearly 27. That still makes him a start, since a trailing offense keeps throwing his way.
Player news
Syracuse quarterback Steve Angeli is expected to practice this week, according to Syracuse On SI. He is listed as doubtful. Angeli had a boot on his left foot after receiving further treatment, the outlet reported.
