CFF Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em – Week 6
Once again, in a College Fantasy Football move that will go down in history as nothing short of monumental, Purple Reign and I are combining our CFF powers to answer your start/sit questions, as well as highlight some players we like headed into next weekend.

QUARTERBACKS: Start ‘Em
Purple Reign
Ben Wooldridge (ULLaf) at Southern Miss
Wooldridge is having a sneaky good season so far. If you remove his game against Kennesaw State where the offense didn’t need to throw the ball, he is averaging 32 pass attempts, 267.67 yards, and 2.67 TDs per game in the air. He’s also averaging 6.67 rush attempts for 25.67 yards and 1 TD on the ground per game. Southern Miss has a rush defense ranked #128 and a pass defense ranked #70 in fantasy points allowed. This looks like a game where Wooldridge should have success in the air and on the ground.
Tyler Huff (JacSt) at Kennesaw State
Huff struggled in his season opener, then had a decent showing against Louisville in Week 2. Since then Huff is playing well in the passing game and the ground game. He is averaging 25 pass attempts for 273.5 yards and 1.5 passing TDs per game to go with 12.5 rushing attempts for 78.5 yards and 0.5 rushing TDs per game. This week he gets a defense that is not good in all phases, ranking #118 against the pass and #73 against the run in fantasy points allowed. Teams tend to run more than normal against Kennesaw State so expect a very productive day on the ground.
Volume Pigs
Bryson Dailey (Army) vs. Tulsa
Dailey continues to see 20+ carries as the option QB for the Knights. I wasn't a full believer last week, and I’m still holding my breath for the bottom to fall out. But this is another great matchup with a weak Tulsa team. You could do worse if you’re in need of a pivot this week (and I’m sure some of you are with these BYEs piling up).
Emmett Brown (SJSU) vs. Nevada
Brown is coming off two strong performances vs. Kennesaw State and Washington State. He continues to pump Nick Nash with 20+ targets per game and the formula seems to still be working. Until opposing defensive coordinators figure out that the ball is headed Nash’s way (and by extension giving Brown some nice CFF points in the process), I don’t see a reason not to draw from the well once more.
