College Fantasy Football championships are won and lost on the waiver wire. Purple Reign has identified the players you need to target on this week’s waiver wire that will help give your fantasy team a champion’s edge.
Premium subscribers will have access to hand chosen waiver wire targets from Joe Arpasi’s top selections. In the free preview below I will review players I feel are honorable mention waiver wire targets that did not make Joe’s top selections lists that are featured for premium subscribers.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
QUARTERBACKS
Noah Kim (E Mi) 3% Rostered
Kim is coming off of a bye week. He has put together two decent performances the last two games against some of the better teams in the MAC (Miami, OH and Ohio). He scored 27.25 and 27.95 fantasy points in those two contests while averaging 3.5 total TDs/game. The fact he put up that many fantasy points in games with bad fantasy match up grades means he may have more value than his upcoming schedule match ups show.
Dequan Finn (MiaOH) 26% Rostered
Finn is coming off of a bye week. In is last two games he has produced 33.75 and 28.2 fantasy points. The biggest difference in his play is that he’s scored a rushing TD in each of those last two games. The downside is that he’s only scored another rushing TD once this season.
D’Wayne Lunch Winfield (ULLaf) 20% Rostered
Winfield is your traditional dual-threat QB that you like to see in college fantasy football. Last week against South Alabama he put up 30.1 fantasy points. Consistent fantasy production is an issue with him as he’s scored 25+ fantasy points only twice this season.
RUNNING BACKS
Qua Ashley (Ball) 16% Rostered
Current Week Match-Up Target
Ashley is coming off of a bye week. In his last game he only accounted for 5 fantasy points so why would I recommend him? He has shown he score produce in the right match ups which he’s done three times this season (scoring 37.7, 17.5, & 20.9 fantasy points in those favorable match ups). With Kent State and Eastern Michigan coming up next he is the best option here for immediate impact on your roster.
Jevyon Ducker (Tem) 24% Rostered
Current Week Match-Up Target
After three good fantasy performances in a row Ducker has a down game last week only scoring 11.1 fantasy points. I’m still recommending him as he has a good match up this week, and another one in Week 14. Its hard finding RBs right now that can help you this week as you work to lock down your playoff spots.
Xavier Robinson (Okla) 7% Rostered
I really like what I’ve seen from Robinson in the last two weeks. During that time he’s totaled 25 carries for 224 yards and 3 TDs. He has a bye this week then three average match ups remaining on the schedule. This weaker schedule is the reason I have him listed so low this week.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Davion Dozier (App) 3% Rostered
Current Week Match-Up Target
Volume Workload Target
Dozier is coming off of a bye week. Before that he has scored 15+ fantasy points in three of his last four games (including one 22 fantasy point performance). He’s a floor play guy that has a great remaining schedule. He’s get the nod over Kenny Johnson because Dozier doesn’t have a bye left and he can help your team this week.
Kenny Johnson (Pitt) 21% Rostered
Volume Workload Target
Playoff Match-Up Target
Over the last two weeks Johnson has been playing banged up but has scored 20.7 and 15.1 fantasy points. The Pitt offense is clicking in the passing game right now and he is being utilized as the WR1. Once you get through his Week 11 bye his remaining schedule is filled with great match ups.
Jordan Hudson (SMU) 16% Rostered
Current Week Match-Up Target
Volume Workload Target
Hudson’s fantasy production has been up and down in his last five games but he’s been getting between 7-13 targets/game. He has scored 19+ fantasy points and had 130+ receiving yards in two of his last three games. He also has the best match up this week of this group of WRs.
Amare Thomas (Hou) 27% Rostered
Volume Workload Target
Thomas put up his best performance of the season last week scoring 32.9 fantasy points. His 13 targets that game in only the second time this season he has had 10+ targets in a game. His performance was very TD heavy (scoring 3) and he’s only reached the end zone in four of his nine games this season. His best chance to score again will be in Week 13 against TCU.
Shelton Sampson (ULLaf) 12% Rostered
After getting injured in September Sampson has return for two games now and scored 15.9 and 28.8 fantasy points. His production is the best of this group of WRs but his remaining schedule is the worst of this group as well. While this week’s fantasy match up grade is a C+ I think he could be still useful in your line up.
TIGHT ENDS
Kanen Hamlett (App) 0% Rostered
Current Week Match-Up Target
Hamlett is coming off of a bye week. With starting TE Izayah Cummings lost for the season Hamlett stepped up and had 10 targets for 6 receptions, 72 yards and 1 TD in his only game as the starter (16.2 fantasy points). Due to the small sample size we have for him I held back from making him a Top 5 pick this week despite the great remaining schedule he has.
