West Virginia’s defense has mostly held up this season after a Week 1 undressing at the hands of Drew Allar and Penn State. They’ve faced much weaker offenses recently and there is reason to believe they’ll struggle against the Horned Frogs. Morris has one of the safest options at the position due to his dual-threat abilities. He has thrown for 1,100 yards and 9 TDs while rushing for 184/2.
Joe Milton, Tennessee — Milton is not Hendon Hooker, let’s be clear about that. However, he does have a cannon for an arm and is surrounded by elite weapons. Milton has been able to show some mobility recently which has kept him from becoming too one dimensional. He racked up 89 rushing yards last week which is obviously encouraging to see. He is yet to eclipse 300 yards in a game this season but will have the opportunity to do so against a South Carolina secondary surrendering 317 YPG.
Spencer Rattler, South Carolina — The former Heisman candidate showed us that he still has a little something in the tank after delivering 288 yards and 3 TDs in a 37-30 victory over Mississippi State. This projects to be a high-scoring affair, and Rattler will be throwing a ton in order to keep up with the Vols offense.
Dillon Gabriel, Oklahoma — It’s a new week but it’s the same old story with Gabriel. He is an elite GPP play with masterful control of this offense. He has thrown for at least 300 yards in three of his first four games despite none of those matchups being particularly close. Iowa State will try to turn this game into a battle of the trenches, but his upside is too high to fully ignore.
Sam Hartman, Notre Dame
Riley Leonard, Duke
The Hokies are being gashed by opposing running backs to the tune of 212.5 YPG on the ground. Hammond has separated himself from the rest of the backs on the Panthers as he is accounting for 40% of the snaps and 33% of the carries. He has accumulated 178 rushing yards and 3 TDs on 39 carries. Excellent source of value on this slate.
Emani Bailey, TCU — Bailey has been nothing short of phenomenal this season. He has piled up almost 500 yards on the ground and is being given a massive workload. He is playing almost 60% of the snaps and well over 50% of the carries. He has emerged as the clear alpha of this backfield and has relegated Trey Sanders to backup duties.
Leshon Williams, Iowa — Kaleb Johnson has been ruled out for tonight so Leshon Williams and Kamari Moulton will get the backfield touches. Neither has been particularly good, but the expected volume puts them into our player pool. Leshon broke out against WMU a few weeks back by rushing for 145 yards on 12 carries. The Spartans defense is a beatable unit, and it’ll be interesting to use how Iowa chooses to attack it.
Audric Estime, Notre Dame — The focal point of the Notre Dame offense was stifled last week, but all that really means is that he was kept out of the end zone for the first time all season. He still rushed for 70 yards on double-digit carries. The Irish have historically had a fantastic offensive line and 2023 is no different. Estime has rushed for 591 yards and 5 TDs on 77 carries.
Tennessee RBs
Mario Anderson, South Carolina
CJ Donaldson, West Virginia
Bhayshul Tuten, Virginia Tech
With Juice Wells struggling to get healthy, it’s been the Xavier Legette show in South Carolina. Spencer Rattler’s No. 1 option has caught 27 of his 31 targets for 556 yards and 3 TDs. This matchup with the Vols has shootout written all over it and he is going to get peppered all game long.
Tennessee WRs — The trio of Squirrel White (17-172, 28 targets), Bru McCoy (15-196-1. 23 targets) and Ramel Keyton (12-201-3, 21 targets) are a dangerous group that can terrorize opposing defenses. McCoy is considered a GTD while Keyton is officially available. We will monitor the news, but White is potentially a must-play if things break right.
Jaylin Noel, Iowa State — Leads the Cyclones in targets with 29 and has a stat line of 20-202-1. Iowa State’s offense isn’t pretty by any means, but Noel is cheap and heavily involved in the game plan.
Andrel Anthony, Oklahoma — The No. 1 pairing partner for Dillon Gabriel if you plan to go that route. The big-play threat has caught 21 passes for 361 yards on 25 targets. He has an excellent rapport with Gabriel and has the potential to be a slate-winning play.
