Week 2 QB Notes
• Be careful with top players who are playing inferior teams. Players like Jalen Hurts, Bryce Perkins, and Tua Tagovailoa could all be out of the game after the first half. Expect the second string to get some action in those games after the starters get them a big lead.
• If you have a good replacement for Sam Ehlinger, Kellen Mond, or Sam Howell, then start the replacement. I don’t like the match-ups for these three, and I’d rather play a guy like Charlie Brewer vs UTSA or Ryan Hilinski vs Charleston Southern.

RB Notes & Advice
• Don’t overthink. If you have Travis Etienne, he’s a must start vs anyone. He will get his stats vs Texas A&M.
• The Penn State RB corps could be a rotation between 4 players. We will truly find out when the Nittany Lions play a good opponent. But right now Slade, Brown, Cain, and Ford are all getting touches.
• UVA RB Wayne Taulapapa could be a HUGE steal, and he’s available in most leagues.
