Week 1 write ups: Big 12, Carlos

Quarterback

Davis Webb, Texas Tech, Price: $9000

·       The returning starter last year for the Red Raiders.  He posted 4 games of over 400 yds passing and  6 games of over 300 yds passing, in 9 games started last year.  The Red Raiders attempt nearly 50 passes per game and that should remain consistent this year. FBS opponent Central Arkansas, should post no threat to Texas Tech in Week one. 

·       Projected Pts:

◦      27 pts

Jake Waters, Kansas State, Price: $6500

·       He is the returning starter from last years Wildcats team.  He also has his favorite target Tyler Lockett returning.  K-State is facing a dreadful Stephen F Austin team who finished 3-9 last year in the Southland Conference (FCS).  Although K-State's offense is run heavy and they only averaged 224 passing ypg last year, he should be hitting his favorite target early and often in week one.  He also averaged about 10 carries per game on the ground last year. Waters should provide great bang for your buck this week.

·       Projected Pts:

◦      21 pts

Running Back

Malcolm Brown and Jonathan Gray, Texas, Price: $4900, $4500

·       This duo should be a good play in week one against the North Texas Mean Green.  Texas is breaking in a new QB and this duo should be heavily relied on this week while he gets acclaimated.  Another thing that should be a factor is the Texas OL, they vastly outweight the UNT Defensive Line and should push them around all day long.  This should lead to big holes for both of these guys to run through.  Based on last years numbers, they are a 60(Brown)/40 (Gray)split in touches.

·       Projected Pts:

◦      Malcolm Brown: 20 pts

◦      Jonathan Gray: 14 pts

Keith Ford, Oklahoma, Price: $4600

·       Oklahoma lost their top three rushers from last years team which leaves Keith Ford as the RB with the most experience from last year.  As it stands, Ford sits atop the depth chart for the Sooners, and stands to get the majority of carries this year.  The Sooners will run over, through, and around Louisiana Tech.  Ford should be the primary beneficiary of this in his breakout game as the starting RB. 

·       Projected Pts:

◦      20 pts

Wide Reciever

Tyler Lockett, Kansas State, Price: $6400

·       K-State's leading reciever returns for his senior season. He also has the benefit of his favorite signal caller returning.  As mentioned above in Jake Waters preview, they face a poor Stephen F Austin team.  Lockett averaged a 105 ypg in K-State's run heavy offense last season but I expect Lockett to exceed his average in week one against the Lumberjacks.

·       Projected pts:

◦      28 pts

Antwan Goodley and Levi Norwood, Baylor, Price: $6800, $4000

·       Baylor's aerial attack will be alive and well this year with the return of senior QB Bryce Petty. Goodley was the leading reciever last year with 71 receptions for 1339 yds and Norwood was third with 47 targets for 733 yds.  The injury bug has hit hit Waco, TX with two of their other top receiving targets marked as doubtful for this weeks game.  Long gone are the days of the Pony Express and the Mustangs will not put up much of a fight this week against the Bears. 

·       Projected Pts:

◦      Antwan Goodley: 32 pts

All of these games are on the Saturday night slate except for Baylor. Good work, Carlos!
