QB Jake Coker, Alabama: $5,500
Alabama's starting signal-caller is looking to take down Auburn in the annual Iron Bowl.
On the year, Jake Coker's been buoyed by a strong rushing attack (led by Derrick Henry). He hasn't been asked to do a whole lot in terms of passing the ball downfield, but that could change a bit on Saturday.
Auburn features a below-average defense (ranked No. 84 nationally). As a result, Coker could see some favorable opportunities down the field in the passing game—particularly with explosive freshman receiver Calvin Ridley.
Plus, Coker's paltry money total is worth taking into account.
WR Allen Lazard, Iowa State: $5,000
Ironically enough, Allen Lazard's value comes as a byproduct of how bad the Cyclones are.
The 6'5" receiver is the leading pass-catcher on the roster by a wide margin—in both catches (51) and receiving yards (734). With his combination of wingspan and height, he's a matchup-nightmare in any jump-ball situation.
Lazard has caught three touchdowns in the past two games, and he is the top target for signal-caller Joel Lanning. West Virginia is likely to put up a good amount of points on an undermanned Cyclones defense. As a result, ISU will be forced to throw the ball a great deal to theoretically get back into the game.
Couple that with the fact WVU is No. 72 nationally in passing yards allowed per game, and Lazard looks like a safe bet to accrue some production.
WR Fred Ross, Mississippi State: $5,100
While De'Runnya Wilson garners much of the attention within the Bulldogs' wide receivers corps, Fred Ross is a very productive player in his own right.
Ross leads Dan Mullen's team in both catches (69) and receiving yardage (816). He's had three-straight games of at least 114 yards receiving and has caught three touchdowns within this time frame.
In what should be a very emotional Egg Bowl, look for MSU to rely upon quarterback Dak Prescott's ability to get the ball downfield. With this premise in mind, Ross will get plenty of opportunities to produce.
RB Joe Williams, Utah: $5,300
With star running back Devontae Booker out for the year, Williams has assumed the role as the starting running back for the Utes.
In his first start of the year last week against UCLA, he went for 121 yards on 26 carries. He got a healthy dose of touches, and displayed an immense burst. It's not a huge surprise considering Williams was a prolific track athlete in high school.
Against a 4-8 Colorado squad this week, Williams should be able to put up another good game behind a solid offensive front. With signal-caller Travis Wilson struggling to throw the football in recent weeks, Williams will likely see a good deal of carries.
