The Big 12 only offers only 4 games to choose from this
week, as the other 4 have no listed players on the salary sheets. I can only assume it's because they play FCS
teams.
Quarterback
Davis Webb, Texas Tech, Price: $9700
·
The bad news, Texas Tech struggled against FCS
Central Arkansas last week. The good
news, it wasn't the offense that was struggling. Webb put up 452 yds and 4 tds through the
air. This week, TT plays a UTEP team who
gave up 477 total yds of offense against New Mexico. I fully expect Webb to put
up numbers comparable to last week, as TT has major problems on defense. This
one should be another shootout for the Red Raiders. It's not a value pick by any means, but if
you are looking for a sure thing, Davis Webb is as good as it gets.

Jake Waters, Kansas State, Price: $6900
·
Waters started the college football season off
by carving up FCS Stephen F Austin.
Putting on a clinic both in the air and on the ground. Going for 278 total yards and 4 td, 2 of each
passing and running. K-State opens up
Big 12 play this week against Iowa State.
Who was carved up by FCS North Dakota State last week for 506 total yds
of offense. Waters put up 55 yds rushing
and 223 yds through the air, throwing to everyone but his top target Tyler
Lockett. Expect them to get in more of a
rythym through the air this week and more of the same on the ground, thus
resulting in great numbers for the second week in a row. Jake Waters should give
you almost comparable results as the aforementioned Davis Webb.

Running Back
DeAndre Washington, Texas Tech, Price: $5500
·
The Red Raiders take on in state foe UTEP Miners
this week. TT barely escaped last week
against a lowly Central Arkansas squad but it certainly had nothing to do with
the offense. The Miners gave up 410 yds
on the ground last week to New Mexico.
Although TT doesn't pound the rock a bunch, Washington still ended up
with 20 carries last week. This game
should be a high scoring affair because of the swiss cheese defense that
allowed 406 total yds to an FCS team last week.
Expect TT to exploit the Miners on the ground and Washington to finish
around his average, but don't be surprised to see him exceed it.

Keith Ford and Alex Ross, Oklahoma, Price: Ford: $5900,
Ross: $4200
·
As expected last week, the Sooners triple headed
monster had a monster day last week against La. Tech. Keith Ford had 9 car, 51
yds, 2 td also 4 rec for 65 yds and Ross had 11 car, 36 yds, 2 td also 2 rec
for 31 yds. They have a pretty balanced
attack, as they ran 10 more times than they threw last week. Last week, Tulsa gave up over 500yds of total
offense, 254 of those on the ground to a lowly Tulane squad. Expect the Sooners
to pound the ball at Tulane all day long, and as the top two guys on the depth
chart, Ford and Ross should see similar results for a bit more yardage this
week.

Wide Reciever
Reginald Davis and Jakeem Grant, Texas Tech, Price:
Grant:$5600, Davis:$4900
·
As I stated above in the DeAndre Washington
pick, TT will most likely be in another shootout as a result of their porous
defense. The Red Raider offense
attempted 52 passes, hitting 11 different recievers last week with Bradley
Marquez (11 rec) getting the bulk of them. But #2 and #3 were Grant (6 rec)and
Davis(5 rec). UTEP only gave up 67 yds
in the air last week but that stat can be deceptive, as they were only thrown
on 9 times. Expect Davis Webb to spread
the ball around in this shootout.

Mitch Mathews, BYU, Price: $4700
·
BYU and it's high powered offense head in to
Austin, TX to face the Longhorns this week. Last year's match up resulted in
BYU putting up 679 total yds of offense on the horns. The Cougars put up 513 yds of offense last
week against UCONN and seem to be clicking on all cylinders led by their star
QB Taysom Hill. Texas played excellent
defense last week against North Texas, holding them to just 94 yds of offense,
but they aren't exactly BYU, and this isn't your daddy's Texas Longhorns. Texas will be breaking in a new C and QB this
week, and may struggle on offense as a result.
BYU will get it's top target Devon Blackmon back this week after a one
game suspension but theres still plenty of love left for the #2 target. Although it won't be the output they had
against Texas last year, they should still be able to move the ball against a
Longhorns team finding it's identity with a new coach.

Tight End
Zach Trujillo, Kansas State, Price: $3100
·
See Above: Jake Waters, for rationale on the
opponent this week. Trujillo only had 3 rec
last week for 29 yds, but is a big target at 6'5”, 266. They are playing a team that has holes all
over the place on defense and K-State should find themselves with plenty of
opportunities in the red zone. It's a
reach, but if Trujillo ends up with one of those for a TD, this could be a
decent value. Proceed with caution!
