Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Quarterbacks

Spencer Rattler, South Carolina (30-37, 438 yards, 6TD vs. Tennessee)

It has been a rough year for Rattler at South Carolina after a rough season last year in Norman in which he lost his starting job to Caleb Williams in the middle of the Red River Shootout. Sooner fans quickly forget that Rattler was 15-2 as a starter for Oklahoma, but I digress. This game was vindication for Rattler, and maybe a glimpse of things to come from the former top-rated quarterback of his class.

Rattler is a touch undersized for today's NFL at 6'1", but his elusiveness and sneaky rushing ability will play at the next level. There are still things that he needs to improve on, but when you throw six touchdowns against the number five team in the country leading to one of the biggest upsets in school history, pro scouts take notice. He knows how to win, and that can't be taught.

Honorable mention: Clayton Tune, Houston; Jaren Hall, BYU

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Running Backs

Bijan Robinson, Texas (25 carries, 243 yards, 4TD at Kansas)

This was sweet revenge for Robinson and Texas who were upset by Kansas in Austin last year. He and the Longhorns were having none of that this year with a 55-14 rout of the Jayhawks.

It was already a hot-button topic this season, but with the way Ibrahim and Robinson are closing out the season, the debate over who is the best back in this draft class is reaching a fever pitch, and we're still nearly six months away from draft day. The mileage on Ibrahim might be a bit of a detriment. Robinson is the lead back, but Roschon Johnson still gets a lot of carries behind Robinson.

Honorable mention: Raheim Sanders, Arkansas; Mohamed Ibrahim, Minnesota

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Wide Receivers

Jordan Moore, Duke (14 receptions, 199 yards, TD at Pittsburgh)

Moore did everything you could ask for in this game. He racked up the catches and the yards. He scored a touchdown, He made a circus one-handed catch. The only problem is, this wasn't supposed to be his fate. Jalon Calhoun was (and still is) the best NFL prospect on the team. Moore was supposed to be the guy throwing it to him.

Moore enrolled at Duke as a quarterback in 2021, but it didn't take the Blue Devils long to realize that Moore might be better at receiver. His 6'2" frame has him towering over corners and he can catch just about anything. He needs to bulk up a little to play on the outside at the next level, but give him time. Moore is still just 20 years old.

Honorable mention: Jordan Addison, USC; Odieu Hiliare, Bowling Green

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Tight Ends

Brady Hunt, Ball State (9 receptions, 90 yards vs. Ohio)

Here we have another guy who enrolled as a quarterback but was converted. Hunt is 6'6" and Ball State decided that his size and strength were far more valuable on the line. He's fast for his size and would project more of a receiving tight end at the next level unless he can add some weight without losing the speed. Still, the 46 receptions on the season are about four per game. That's quite a bit for a college tight end.

Honorable mention: Taylor Thompson, Charlotte

Be sure to stay tuned all season long to see these coming attractions!
