Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Goose Crowder is Troy's top fantasy option, and nobody else on the roster comes near him. The quarterback has 102.9 CollegeFFB points through five games, good for 20.6 a game, and at $8M he costs less than that output suggests. Even his lowest score in a game he played was 11.8 points.
Riser or value
For a budget Trojans piece, look at Gavin Griffin. He has 47.3 CollegeFFB points through five games, and at $6M he's projected for about 10 at Louisiana in Week 7. That's a reasonable return for a bench spot without spending big.
This week
Troy visits Louisiana in Week 7, and the Ragin' Cajuns are 4-2. Crowder projects for about 18, a little under the nearly 21 he's posted per game. Keep him in your lineup, but don't count on a ceiling week.
Player news
Goose Crowder threw for 225 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran 17 times for 145 yards and 2 more scores in Troy's 55-34 win over Southern Miss on Oct. 6, good for 43.5 CollegeFFB points. That rushing day nearly matched his career rushing total entering the game, according to Sports Illustrated. Troy visits Louisiana on Oct. 17, and Crowder, averaging 20.6 points a game this season, could stay busy as both a passer and a runner at $8M.
Sports Illustrated, Oct 9
Jordan Lovett ran 12 times for 142 yards and 1 touchdown and caught 2 passes for 53 yards and 1 touchdown in Troy's 55-34 win over Southern Miss on Oct. 6, good for 33.5 CollegeFFB points in that game. At $7.6M, he has averaged 10.1 points a game this season and looks positioned for a bigger share of the work when Troy plays at Louisiana on Oct. 17.
