HONORABLE MENTIONS
Coleman was selected as a Flyer option for 2025. The Army offense features the #4 CFF Coaching System for Dual-Threat quarterbacks. He has support around him in running backs Hayden Reed & Noah Short. Due to the option based offense, Coleman’s fantasy value is tied to his rushing ability. Coleman was highlighted six times as a good Schedule Pairing selection. Army’s rushing Strength Of Schedule is one of the best, featuring an A+ grade for season long, A- for first month of the season, and an A for the playoffs (team does have a bye in Week 12).
Houser was selected as a Riser option for 2025. There’s tons of talent surrounding Houser this season. East Carolina typically features a strong rushing game to keep defenses balanced, and the backfield has a strong 1-2 punch in Parker Jenkins & DeJuan Lacy. The receiver core is loaded despite replacing several starters from last season. Yannick Smith is a fantasy star that’s ready to breakout in 2025 and Jaquaize Pettaway, Anothony Smith, and Jyron Waiters provide multiple targets for Houser. These receivers will fit nicely in an offense which ranks #36 for POWR3 CFF Coaching Systems. East Carolina’s passing Strength Of Schedule is pretty good with season long and first month of the season receiving a B+ grade, and a B- for the playoffs.
Veltkamp was selected as a Nuclear Option for 2025. This will be the first season for the new offense at Florida Atlantic, but this CFF Coaching System ranks #8 for Pocket Passer quarterbacks. This offense also features the wide receiver position very well as it ranks #16 for CFF Coaching Systems for target magnet wide receivers and #10 for POWR3 wide receivers. The receiver core is led by the Nuclear potential of Easton Messer and the Flyer potential of Sean (JR) Wilson. From a passing Strength Of Schedule standpoint Florida Atlantic gets a B- grade for first month of the season, but gets a C+ for the season long, and a C the playoffs.
Beck suffered an elbow injury at the end of last season and did not start throwing the ball again until mid April. The injury is expected to be fully healed by fall camp leaving him with no restrictions on his play. The Miami offense is ranked #4 for CFF Coaching Systems for target magnet wide receivers. Beck has plenty of receiving targets to throw to with receivers Joshisa Trader, CJ Daniels, Nathaniel Joseph, and tight end Elija Lofton. Beck was featured as a Schedule Pairing selection three times, meaning he could be a suitable back-up quarterback for your fantasy roster. I’m a fan of Miami’s passing Strength Of Schedule as they get a B+ for season long and first month of the season, and a B for the fantasy playoffs.
McIvor was selected as a Nuclear Option for 2025. The Western Kentucky offense was featured for CFF Coaching Systems as #3 for Pocket Passer quarterbacks. This offense also ranks as #8 in CFF Coaching Systems for target magnet wide receivers and #3 in CFF Coaching Systems for POWR3 receivers. The wide receiver room is talented with Matthew Henry, KD Hutchinson, and Jairus Mack all providing support. McIvor managed to be selected twice as a Schedule Pairing selection. The passing Strength Of Schedule is very good with season long receiving a B+ grade, a B+ for the first month of the season, and a B- for the playoffs despite an awful match-up with LSU in week 13.
