Quarterback
Greg Ward Jr.
Last week’s performance out of Ward shouldn’t be cause for alarm. In fact, I think it offers added appeal as there will surely be a few out there scared off his 10k salary based on last week’s stinker. I think more folks would shy away from Ward had there been a deeper group to select from, but as it stands we may not get the edge I am hoping for. Vandy is far from a cupcake, but Ward’s ability to escape the pocket and the fact he is basically their goal line back he rather immune to match-up. Houston should be fired up for this game playing in front of their home crowd. I know it’s just Vanderbilt, but they are still an SEC school and when traveling to smaller schools they carry the bulls-eye with them. Hopefully Farrow doesn’t vulture any TD’s this week, but either way I’m running Ward as my top dog on both sites.
Running Back
Christian McCaffrey
You had to wonder if this dude would ever score a touchdown. Okay, not so much wonder if, but when. A few weeks back C-Mac broke the seal and the scores have been rolling in since. Over his last 3 contests he has accounted for 6 rushing touchdowns and another through the air. Stanford makes no secret their desire to line up and run the ball down your throat. That’s just what they do and so far very few have been able to slow down their run game. I really don’t anticipate Washington State stopping or slowing down the Cardinal attack. Stanford enters the game as 10pt road favorites with a total in the low 60’s. His price has jumped considerably, but this is a great matchup on a relatively short slate. It’s hard to argue the ROI this guy should net you Saturday night.
Myles Gaskin
I haven’t seen much of Gaskin’s name being thrown around the college football circuit, but this cat can boogie. Considering how limited Washington’s offense is and especially their passing game it’s pretty impressive what Myles has been able to do what he’s done. Last week at Stanford he ran for 108 yards and a score on just 18 carries. That’s pretty dang efficient for a true freshman facing a tough Cardinal defense. This week Washington will take on Arizona and on their home field. Zona has been gashed by the run and currently rank 85th in that category. Gaskin and C-Mac will likely be popular plays, but this is not a scenario I recommend going against the grain. Sometimes the popular play is the best one. Super frosh in the making.
Wide Receiver
Anthony Miller
I don’t see myself spending at receiver tonight, but I feel Miller offers the best safety in the upper echelon. Miller has gone over 100 and scored in 3 of his last 4 games and is the Tigers most productive receiver. Memphis has a lot of mouths to feed so it’s fairly impressive and noteworthy that Miller has been mostly consistent over the past month. Tulane doesn’t figure to be much resistance for Memphis as they are projected for 46 team points. Like i said, they have a lot of mouths to feed, but 46 points isn’t a bad place to start.
River Cracraft
I must admit, this feels a bit awkward considering Cracraft is the 3rd option in the Cougar passing game. I don’t like the matchup. Washington State is projected for just 25 team points, which is 30% below their season average. If you downgrade all Washington State players by 30% it makes paying up for Marks a risky proposition. I think Marks is good enough to solve this Cardinal secondary, but I’m choosing to allocate my $$$ elsewhere due to the greater than normal downside. Cracraft surely gets the same downgrade, but the difference is his reduced salary. Washington State is still going to pass the ball all night long. Assuming Cracraft sees his typical volume I think he offers a similar, if not, higher floor relative to price compared to Marks. In terms of a lower end receiver he’s not a bad way to go, just don’t expect a homerun.
Tight End
Joshua Perkins
Quick question. Would you trade 2 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for 3 Kit-Kats? I actually don’t care, but tight end is so boring I figured I would dress it up a bit. The Huskies passing game is basically awful. Perkins seems to be one of the more consistent receiving options. I’m really not sure that’s a good thing for the Huskies, but I’ll certainly try to capitalize on Browning’s inability to look further downfield than his tight end.
