QUARTERBACKS: Start ‘Em

Purple Reign

• Cade Klubnik (Clem) vs Stanford

  Klubnik has been on a tear the last two weeks. He is only averaging 25 pass attempts/game, but his efficiency is through the rough with an average of 293.5 yards and 4 TDs per game. Despite the poor performance against Georgia in Week 1, the Clemson pass offense is ranked #16 in fantasy points scored. This air attack gets a match-up with Stanford’s pass defense that ranks #118 in fantasy points allowed. Stanford has been attacked in the air because their run defense is ranked #31 in fantasy points scored, so don’t expect Clemson to just grind away a win in this one.

• Ben Wooldridge (ULLaf) at Wake Forest

  I’ve been talking about Wooldridge a lot this week and for good reason. If you remove the Kennesaw State game where the offense did not need to throw the ball, Wooldridge is averaging 33.5 pass attempts/game. The Ragin Cajun passing game ranks #44 in fantasy points scored and they face off against a Wake Forest pass defense that ranks #116 in fantasy points allowed. While Lafayette is a Group of 5 team their passing game will be able to hang with Wake Forest in a game that Vegas expects to be a one-score contest.

• Riley Leonard (ND) vs. LOU

  Leanord started the year with back to back duds, but lately he’s been pretty good. Remarkably, he threw his first passing TD of the year last week in week four vs. Miami of Ohio. The key is his rushing upside— he has gone over 100 yards and scored at least twice on the ground each of the last two weeks.

• Byrum Brown (USF) vs. TUL

  Some may be weary of starting Brown given his slow start to the year. Fear not. If we really break it down the one game where USF was competitive with its opponent, SMiss, Brown had a strong day with 28 points. The other three were blowouts in either direction. This game figures to be closer to the SMiss game than the other three.
