My QB's of the Week
PJ Walker, Temple • Tommy Rees, Notre Dame • Terrance Broadway, Louisiana

QB PJ Walker (Temple) – The Rutgers secondary has been extremely vulnerable to the passing game this season allowing 361 ypg. A huge outing from PJ Walker last week has us liking his chances against the Knights as he not only passed for 293 yds and 4 TD’s, but rushed for an additional 92 yds and 1 more endzone visit. We suggest you pick up Walker as soon as possible before he puts together another nice outing.

QB Tommy Rees (Notre Dame) – Tommy Rees not only shook off the injury bug last week to start against Air Force, but he performed admirably against the Falcons throwing for 284 yds and 5 TD’s. The Irish now face their 2^nd consecutive service academy (Navy allowing 440 ypg on the road TY) and Rees looks closer to 100% and should flourish.

QB Terrance Broadway (Louisiana) – The Cajuns journey out of conference play for a week and there is no better way to do it then by scheduling a matchup with the struggling New Mexico St Aggies who have allowed 672 ypg away from home in 2013. Terrance Broadway has surpassed the 300 yard mark twice in the air this season while also adding 5 rushing TD’s thru 7 games. Big statistical opportunity for the UL QB in this one!

My RB's of the Week
Trey Watts, Tulsa • Kapri Bibbs, Colorado St • Aaron Jones, UTEP

RB Trey Watts (Tulsa) – The Tulsa offense saw their share of struggles a week ago against Tulane which included the running of Trey Watts who carried the ball 20 times for just 63 yards. This week’s opponent (UTSA) has allowed 170 ypg rushing on the season so we expect Watts to return to similar form of the 2 games prior to Tulane when he rushed for 165 and 142 yards.

RB Kapri Bibbs (Colorado St) – Kapri Bibbs has been a TD machine for the Rams over the past 4 games with a total of 9 to go along with rushing performances of 147, 201 and 137. CSU now entertains a Boise St defense that allowed 568 ttl yds (229 rush) in last week’s contest vs BYU. We really like Bibbs’ chances again this weekend!

RB Aaron Jones (UTEP) – While he hasn’t reached the endzone since their 2^nd game of the season, Aaron Jones continues to be the workhorse on the ground for the Miners averaging 106 ypg on the year. Now you throw in the fact that UTEP will be without their starting QB vs a Texas A&M squad that has had it’s share of stopping the run (225 ypg allowed at home) and you get a solid fantasy choice here.   

My WR's of the Week
Michael Campanaro, Wake Forest • Rashad Greene, Florida St • Justin Hardy, East Carolina

WR Michael Campanaro (Wake Forest) – 33 receptions in a season is a solid accomplishment for many WR’s in the FBS but recording that many in just 3 games is amazing! Michael Campanaro has done just that over Wake’s L/3 contests that included 363 yards and 4 TD’s in that span. Up next for the Demon Deacons is a trip to Syracuse where the Orange allowed a whopping 468 yards passing in their last home game a few weeks back against Clemson. Judging by his hot hands, you could very well see another double digit reception performance this week.

WR Rashad Greene (Florida St) – A big reason for Jameis Winston being considered as one of the frontrunners for the Heisman has been the steady play of WR Rashad Greene who has surpassed the 90 yd receiving plateau in each of his last 4 games while also pulling in 5 TD’s over that span. Surprisingly the only game that Greene did catch a TD was the Seminoles 63-0 win over Maryland. We expect Greene to reach the 90+ yard mark for the 5^th consecutive time this weekend.

WR Justin Hardy (East Carolina) – 27 catches over the past 2 games!!! That’s what Justin Hardy has been able to accomplish. For the season he’s been able to catch 8 or more passes on 4 occasions including a 16 catch outing in the opener vs ODU and 17 in their OT loss to Tulane a few weeks back. We expect Hardy to get his fair share of touches this weekend making him an easy selection here.

My DEFENSES of the Week
OHIO ST • Texas • East Carolina

Ohio St Defense – The Buckeyes are still undefeated, but trust us, the defense hasn’t been much help as they have given up 414 ypg over their L/5 FBS matchups including 3 games of allowing 295+ yards passing. Look for the defense to settle down and play to their potential this weekend vs a Purdue squad that is scraping the bottom of the barrel on offense to say the least (10 ppg, 228 ypg vs BCS foes in ’13).

Texas Defense – The Longhorn defense appears to be back allowing just 263 and 246 yds the past 2 weeks against Oklahoma (192 ypg under season avg) and TCU (84 ypg under season avg) which is an intricate part to their 4-game win streak. Next up is a date with a Kansas offense that has averaged just 234 ypg on the road this year. Texas should roll here behind their vastly improved defense of the last 2 games.

East Carolina Defense – In a conference known for plenty of offense and no defense East Carolina has proven there can be some defense played in CUSA as they have held 3 of their 4 conference opponents to 17 or fewer points while allowing just 290 ypg in those contests. FIU’s offense has certainly had their fair share of issues in ’13 being held to under 200 yds in 4 of their 6 contests. Look for the ECU defense to show up again this week as one of our Surprise Units of Week 10.

CollegeFootballGeek.com’s Sneaky Plays – Week 10
By Kevin Mount, CollegeFootballGeek.com

A very interesting Week Nine is in the books and it is now time to look ahead to the seventh week of the college football season and the “sneaky” plays it has in store for fantasy owners. Here is a look at some guys who might fill in nicely for owners in need of a potential diamond in the rough.

QUARTERBACKS

Kolton Browning, La Monroe (vs. Troy):
Browning returned from injury last week and promptly threw four touchdown passes against Georgia State. He could post a huge stat line this week versus Troy. The Trojans have the second worst pass defense in all of college football, allowing over 332 passing yards per game. Look for a ton of points in this game, with Browning passing the ball up and down the field. It would not be a big surprise to see Browning drop 350 yards and three or four scores on Troy in Week Ten. He could be a great plug in for owners in need at the QB position.  

PJ Walker, Temple (vs. Rutgers):
This freshman signal caller is getting better by the week and is coming off a career best performance against SMU that saw him rack up 385 total yards and five total scores. He is an excellent runner and could give a struggling Rutgers defense fits this week. The Scarlet Knights have the 3rd worst pass defense in the nation and have yielded a ton of big plays this season. This could be a high scoring contest with Walker having a hand in plenty of points and yards. Walker looks to be a very nice option this week, especially in BCS only leagues. 

RUNNING BACKS

RB Bill Belton, Penn State (vs. Illinois):
Belton is a versatile back that appears to have garnered control of the Penn State backfield. He is averaging 24 carries per game over the last two contests and could do some real damage with those carries against Illinois. The Illinois rush defense has little fight left in it and comes in ranked 111th in the country. Look for Belton and the Nittany Lions to take out some frustration on Saturday. Belton could easily pile up 100 total yards and a score or two against the Illini this week.  

RB David Cobb, Minnesota (vs. Indiana):
Cobb carried the load last week and churned out 138 yards on the ground in the Gophers upset of Nebraska. He has gone over 100 yards rushing in consecutive games and could extend that streak against Indiana in Week Ten. He could have a big day against a terrible Hoosiers defense that ranks 112th in the nation and gives up plenty of big plays. Cobb could see a ton of carries this week as Minnesota tries to play ball control and keep the potent Hoosiers offense on the sidelines. This junior could post big numbers and could be an excellent fill in option in BCS only leagues this week.

RB Shadrach Thornton, NC State (vs. North Carolina):
Thornton racked up 205 total yards and two scores last week against Florida State and appears to have regained control of the NC State backfield. His early season struggles off the field appear to be behind Thornton and he could post solid numbers this week against North Carolina. The Tar Heels rush defense is simply not very good and could yield some big plays to Thornton in Week Ten. Look for Thornton to compile at least 100 total yards and a score against UNC this Saturday.

RB Alonzo Harris, La Lafayette (vs. New Mexico State):
Harris has scored two rushing touchdowns in last two games and also topped 100 yards rushing in each of those contests. He has really turned it on since conference play has begun and could continue that trend this week versus New Mexico State. The Aggies defense could have a very difficult time stopping Harris and the Cajuns offense. Look for Harris to continue his hot streak and score a couple of touchdowns against the Aggies. Pick up Harris immediately if he is still available in your league.

WIDE RECEIVERS

WR Tyler Lockett, Kansas State (vs. Iowa State):
Lockett torched West Virginia last week for 111 yards and three scores. He has been a complete boom or bust fantasy play this season and this week could be another boom. The Iowa State pass defense is ranked 101st in the country and may have trouble containing Lockett. Look for this Wildcat to go over the century mark this week and likely add a score or two. Lockett could be a nice #3 WR in most league formats in Week Ten.

WR Ezell Ruffin, San Diego State (vs. New Mexico):
Ruffin has recorded at least 100 yards receiving in three of the last four games for the Aztecs and has found a rhythm with QB Quinn Kaehler. His fantasy success could continue this week against New Mexico. The match up with the Lobos could be a high scoring affair and Ruffin find himself on the receiving end of a couple of big plays. Ruffin could make for a solid #3 wide out in most formats this week.
