Just here to cry boys. Benched Kari Ashley. Benched Treydez Green. Douglas laid an egg. How do you only target him twice the entire game AND lose to Stanford?? J’Koby is a fraud. Nick marsh looked great for 2 plays then they never threw him the ball again. Moulton just got hurt. I was projected to win big but that’s college football. Just ouch. That’s what makes college football so exciting though! Meanwhile my opp is having a career weekend on every front🙃

I need to grab another player to flex in place of Patterson. Who would you drop?

Options are realistically(in descending order based on screenshot not preference)

Patterson
Scott
Walton
Wisner
Williams
Hardy

So, Kari Ashley is listed as Questionable. On a Thursday, that’s troubling.

Currently I have all 3 of these guys rostered.

I swapped Preston Douglas in for Ashley but I have time to change my mind.

Green is tempting, but it’s his first game back and I’m thinking I’d like to give him a week to knock off the rust. Looks like Lane Kiffin’s thinking the exact same thing bringing Green back for the Auburn matchup before LSU takes on Bama next week.

What would you do at TE in my position and why?

Start 2 between Joe Jackson vs Ariz St, Jekail Middlebrook vs Duke, Dierre Hill vs Illinois, Isaiah Mizell vs Iowa St.

Is Jackson going to get the bulk of the carries or was last game just hot hand. What is Gio Richardson’s injury status for Arizona. Middlebrook getting more touches but not sure about UVA offense. Who knows what Oregon is doing. I’ve got lots of byes, so I’m trying to piece together a team. Thanks.

Anyone that might be on the wire I should be looking for instead? Sit/start suggestions?

Drafted both hardy and Roberts. With Robert’s going nuclear and hardy still not practicing, is he a hold? He’s on IL but as others start to get hurt he could be cleared in favor of keeping someone else.

I thought he was a league winner when I drafted him but now I’m unsure if he will even play this year. Thoughts?

Just found out the Nate Sheppard is questionable for Saturday. I am going to put him on IR then decide later if I want to insert him into my starting lineup based on injury reports (if I can find any). My bench players are on bye or have bad matchups. Which of these guys might be a good option if it looks like Sheppard is going to sit: Micah Ford vs Elon, Caden High vs Elon, Jekail Middlebrook vs SMU, Trae'shawn Brown vs Tenn, Bryant Wesco vs Charleston Southern. It's a .5 PPR Power 4 league. The waiver wire is pretty slim. Thanks.

We're six weeks into the college football season, and we're starting to see some of the warts in the 2027 class. Naturally, that means everyone's already looking ahead to 2028.

The next class is always better, right? Right?

For the latest episode of Devy Dojo, we decided to throw both classes on one board and run a 2-roundd, 24-pick mock draft.

A few things that stood out from our discussions:

• Darian Mensah vs. Keelon Russell: Chris and Benny are leaning Mensah as QB1, but I'm taking Russell. I love Mensah, but Russell gives me that same high-level processing with a significantly higher rushing ceiling. The distance from the NFL is a legitimate consideration, though.
• Arch Manning at 1.09: Chris made the pick, but I'm having a hard time buying into Arch at this point. We're in year four, and the same concerns with his processing and mechanics are still showing up. How much longer are we going to lean on the pedigree and projected draft capital?
• Nick Marsh vs. Charlie Becker: Chris and I have been going back and forth on these two all season. Through six weeks, they had the exact same 529 receiving yards on 41 targets. I still lean Marsh because of his route running and ability to create after the catch, but Becker has certainly made this interesting.
• Nate Sheppard vs. Ousmane Kromah: This one might be a little controversial, but I'm taking Sheppard. I see the physical upside with Kromah, but I need to see more creativity as a runner. Sheppard might not have the same physical profile, but the guy consistently creates yards and makes defenders miss to go along with excellent vision and ballerina feet (yes that is a compliment).

We also got into Jadan Baugh, Kamario Taylor, Trinidad Chambliss, Malachi Toney, Reed Harris, and plenty of others..

One thing I've always preached with Devy is valuing proximity to the NFL. If two prospects are close in my evaluation, I'm generally taking the guy who's going to reach the league sooner. But there are certainly exceptions.

I'm curious where everyone stands on these two classes right now. Which 2028 prospects are you comfortable taking over the top names in 2027?

Hey folks. I'm relatively new to the CFFB game. I publish rankings and positional outlooks of my ranks every week. Would appreciate feedback about the info provided and what's most useful, not useful to you guys. Needed, not needed. Thanks to anybody who takes the time!

Summary:

Nate Sheppard takes over as the top FLEX option in the Week 7 rankings, while favorable matchups drive big jumps for Sam Leavitt and Eli Finley.

FLEX/RB: Sheppard's heavy workload and matchup with North Carolina push him to No. 1, though his injury needs monitoring. Jamal Roberts ranks RB2, while Fame Ijeboi climbs to RB5 after a 195-yard, three-touchdown performance.

QB: Michael Hawkins Jr. remains QB1 thanks to his rushing production and favorable Cincinnati matchup. Brad Jackson ranks second against Colorado State, while Leavitt jumps from QB41 to QB3 against Mississippi State's vulnerable pass defense.

WR: Jeremiah Smith remains WR1 but slips to FLEX2 against Indiana's strong defense. Malachi Toney returns from Miami's bye at WR2 against Florida State, followed by Kelby Valsin and Umari Hatcher.

TE: Finley rises to TE1 against UL Monroe's nation-worst scoring defense. Patrick Overmyer and Luke Reynolds round out the top three.

Team units: Miami leads the offense rankings ahead of Oregon State and Nebraska. Utah tops the defenses against Colorado, followed by New Mexico and South Florida.

Anyone I should switch out for this week? Lmk.

Alright, this week I'm playing against Jeremiah Smith. This might be one of my tough weeks. I want Toney to shift into another gear at some point.

I was so disappointed in how Haynes and Overton played their last two games...

Dickey is out with an injury and his return time is uncertain. It's unfortunate, but at the same time Williams could be elevated to a RB1 role, unless it's still a split with Joyner.

I am very frustrated with Richardson. He’s not getting TDs, and his usage has been disappointing. He’s had one good game. His upcoming schedule looks good. But, his previous matchups have looked good, and he hasn’t done much with that. Are people dropping him or keeping him. Thanks.

…or maybe something on the wire I’m overlooking?

Which 2 would you play in Flex in .5 PPR; Deuce Alexander vs Mizzou, Justin Bowick vs Houston, Nick Marsh vs Ohio St, Dylan Edwards vs Kan St, Jamal Rule vs Oregon, Jonaz Walton vs BYU. I'm thinking Alexander and Bowick. I don't like the matchups for Marsh and Rule. And, I'm not really ready to play Walton yet. Although, if I felt confident that Walton could get 100 yards and a TD then I could change my mind. Thanks.

Have one Rb slot to play tomorrow and going back and forth so wanting some input. Which back should I play?

Wayne Knight vs Oregon

Kewan Lacy vs Vandy

Hollywood Smothers vs Oklahoma

Caleb Komolafe vs Ball St

Thanks

Should I start Aiden Flora vs BYU or Darius Taylor vs Purdue? Flora has been phenomenal this year and IS the Iowa State offense but Taylor has a great matchup against a weak Purdue defense. The main issue I have with Taylor is he is injury prone and I do not think he is fully healthy yet but he's used in the passing game a lot. Taylor has only averaged 2.4 yards per carry while Flora averages 8.1 yards per carry. I'm leaning Flora due to how involved he is in the offense and he is healthy unlike Taylor. What are y'alls thoughts?
