Fantasy outlook
The anchor
Vanderbilt's fantasy production runs through Junior Sherrill. He has 104.2 CollegeFFB points through six games, 25th among FBS wide receivers, and at $6.4M he costs less than a lot of receivers scoring less. He hasn't dipped below 10.5 points in any game, a safe floor for a top receiver slot.
Riser or value
Jared Curtis is the cheaper Commodore worth a look. The quarterback put up 6.7 points against Ole Miss in Week 6, but at $5.9M he's projected for about 12 against Arkansas, solid production for a price that leaves room to spend elsewhere.
This week
Arkansas is 2-4 and visits Nashville on Oct 17. Sherrill projects for about 18, right in line with his season average, so he's a confident start in Week 7.
Player news
Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea announced Tuesday that quarterback Blaze Berlowitz is out for about a month with a broken collarbone, according to Vanderbilt Commodores On SI. Lea said, "I know he's tough enough to handle it."
