Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Wayne Knight has piled up 141.8 CollegeFFB points through five games, and no other Bruin comes close to that pace. He hasn't scored fewer than 22.5 points in a game he's played, which makes him a back you can lock into your lineup without a second thought.
Riser or value
Semaj Morgan gives you a receiver at a friendly price. At $5.3M he's projected for about 10 in Week 7, right in line with the roughly 11 CollegeFFB points a game he's averaged. That makes him a sensible fill-in when Knight eats up most of your budget.
This week
Wisconsin is 4-1 and visits the Rose Bowl in Week 7, in what shapes up as a near pick'em. Knight projects for about 21, under his usual output of just over 28 a game. He's still a firm start, even if this one may not be his biggest week.
Player news
UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava is out indefinitely with a knee injury, and a final timeline is pending a medical evaluation, ESPN reported, citing sources. He suffered the knee injury in UCLA's win over then-No. 13 Oregon on Oct. 10, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
