We had another fun weekend of college football. USC lost (again). The goalposts were ripped down and dumped in a body of water celebrating a win over Oklahoma (again). Georgia escaped Missouri (again). What kind of unique performances did we have this week in college football?
We will help you get acclimated with these college players earlier than many of your fantasy football league mates. We here at RotoBaller are all about giving you an advantage.
I will highlight one quarterback, one running back, one wide receiver, and one tight end every week of the college season who put up some really big numbers. I'll let you know what it means for your dynasty leagues. Do these guys have NFL futures? You'll find out!

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Quarterbacks
Jacob Zeno, UAB (29-35, 484 yards, 5 TD, INT) vs. Florida Atlantic
Wow, what is in the water in the American lately? Zeno transferred out of Baylor after he lost the starting job to Blake Shapen. I wonder if Baylor wants him back yet? Zeno has 2,389 passing yards and 17 touchdowns this season.
Zeno was a highly touted prospect in the freshman class of 2019. That seems like forever ago. His college career hasn't gone as planned, but Zeno has the size (6'4", 215 pounds) and arm strength to succeed at the next level. Expect a Senior Bowl invite and a combine invite for Zeno. We'll go from there on his prospect status.
Honorable mention: Bo Nix, Oregon; E.J. Warner, Temple; Byrum Brown, South Florida
Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Running Backs
Dillon Johnson, Washington (26 carries, 256 yards, 4 TD; 2 receptions, 11 yards) at USC
Johnson's previous career high in yards was 100. That's it. How much of that is USC's defense? How much is Johnson's splitting carries in a Mike Leach offense for three years? We will find out down the stretch.
At 6' and 218 pounds, Johnson is a bit of a bruiser. His time with Mike Leach means he has excellent hands and can take hits from linebackers. Johnson has great hands and a good burst. His pass blocking is serviceable, but his hands will keep him on NFL (and fantasy football) rosters for years.
Honorable mention: Marion Lukes, Central Michigan; Quinton Cooley, Liberty; RJ Harvey, Central Florida
Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Wide Receivers
LaJohntay Wester, Florida Atlantic (11 receptions, 219 yards, 3 TD) at UAB
Zeno's fireworks in this game were spread around. Wester kept the Owls in this game by himself. This game led Wester to his first 1,000-yard season and he is already FAU's all-time leading receiver.
Wester is small (5' 11", 167 pounds) but he has track speed and good hands. He has all the tools to be a slot receiver in the NFL, but he will likely have to add more muscle to avoid durability concerns.
Honorable mention: Troy Johnson, Oregon; Tre Harris, Mississippi; Xavier Legette, South Carolina
Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Tight Ends
Rivaldo Fairweather, Auburn (2 receptions, 62 yards, TD) at Vanderbilt
Fairweather made this list last year as a member of Florida International. His transfer to Auburn has been hampered by QB issues, but Fairweather still has the tools needed to succeed at the next level. He has the receiving part down. He just needs to work on some blocking schemes.
Honorable mention: Treyton Welch, Wyoming
