Other Notes
- I have Tua Tagovailoa ranked #11 because his opponent is Louisiana Lafayette. Now, I know what you’re thinking (He will have a big day). Yes, he will have a successful day. But he’s likely sitting the 2nd half (remember, he’s played only 49% of Alabama’s offensive minutes this year). I expect Alabama to have a 35+ point lead at halftime. Tua should get 300+ yards & a few TDs (which is a productive day). However, it’s possible the RBs could also steal some TDs, too. If you have him you’re starting him every week. But with Alabama playing teams like this, you just never know what to expect.
- Trevor Lawrence gets the start for Clemson vs Syracuse. Lawrence the True Freshman 5* has been productive & shown flashes of how great he can be. I expect him to take advantage of his first start and have a big day.
RB Rankings
- A.J. Dillon (BC) vs Temple
- Eno Benjamin (ASU) vs Oregon St
- Justice Hill (OKL ST) vs Kansas
- Travis Etienne (CU) vs Syracuse
- J.K. Dobbins (OSU) vs Penn State
- Trayveon Williams (A&M) vs Arkansas
- Myles Sanders (PSU) vs Ohio State
- Trey Sermon (OU) vs Baylor
- Benny Snell Jr (UK) vs South Carolina
- James Williams (WSU) vs Utah
- Karan Higdon (UM) vs Northwestern
- Bryce Love (Stanford) vs Notre Dame
- Zack Moss (Utah) vs WSU
- Stevie Scott (Indiana) vs Rutgers
- CJ Verdell (Oregon) vs CAL
Under the Radar RB Options
- Alabama RBs (I expect Damien Harris, Najee Harris & Josh Jacobs to all get in the end zone). If you’re looking for a safe flex option I think these guys could all get you 10 points or so. However, none are “sexy” picks because of the RB by committee approach that will most likely happen playing an inferior opponent.
- Pitt RB Qadree Ollison vs UCF. Ollison ranks 20th in Fantasy among RBs in 2018. FAU RB Devin Singletary was productive vs UCF last week, and I expect Ollison to have a good day vs the Knights Defense.
- Travon McMillan (Colorado) vs UCLA
