With touchdowns being such an important part of college fantasy football, it is important to examine some players who seem to have a nose for the end zone. These players may or may not hold a ton of fantasy value on their own but they certainly affect the worth of a bunch of fantasy starters.


Quarterbacks

Colin Kaepernick (Nevada)
This guy has been a TD machine averaging a whopping 16.5 scores over the past two seasons. He is the cog to the Nevada rushing attack and should have another season of double digit rushing scores in 2010. The rushing scores by Kaepernick seem to be what keep Vai Taua from posting monstrous TD numbers.

Josh Nesbitt (Georgia Tech)
The leader of the triple option scored an impressive 18 times on the ground last fall. He gets a ton of rushing attempts in the Yellow Jackets offense and should cross the goal line plenty this coming season. Nesbitt will certainly vulture scores from the running backs of Georgia Tech and thus hurts the value of Anthony Allen a bit.


Running Backs

Trent Richardson (Alabama)
This kid showed how explosive he can be as he rushed for 8 scores as a freshman in 2009. While Mark Ingram is the Heisman Trophy winner and the starter for the Crimson Tide, there is little doubt that Richardson will see the field early and often this season. He could easily reach double digits scores in 2010.

Doug Martin (Boise State)
Martin came out of nowhere to post 15 rushing scores last season. He seems to be the Broncos choice at the goal line and could severely limit the fantasy value of starter, Jeremy Avery.

Ryan Clarke (West Virginia)
While Noel Devine is the main man in the Mountaineers backfield, there is concern over Clarke stealing a bunch of goal line work. He tallied 8 scores last year and could easily see those same totals in 2010.

Broderick Green (Arkansas)
Green was very effective as the short yardage back last season and managed to rumble for 11 rushing scores. His presence in the equation will likely limit the value of Ronnie Wingo Jr. in 2010 and continue to frustrate fantasy owners.

Cody Johnson (Texas)
Johnson has been a TD scoring machine as he has 12 scores on the ground in each of the previous two seasons. He is basically scoring a touchdown every 6.5 carries. He will probably once again be the answer when the Horns are in short yardage/goal line situations in 2010. His presence will certainly hurt Tre Newton and Fozzy Whittaker.

Darren Evans (Virginia Tech)
The return of Evans from injury and his role is one of the most intriguing questions of the 2010 season. He will almost certainly eat into the numbers of Ryan Williams, but the question is to what extent. No matter how the carries are distributed, Evans will be a factor in the running game and a thorn in the side of Ryan Williams’s owners.

Jamie Harper (Clemson)
Harper is poised to see a huge jump in carries this season and should form a nice 1-2 punch with Andre Ellington. While Ellington may be the better yardage guy, the big frame of Harper may prove to be effective in the red zone. It is quite possible for Harper to approach 10 scores this fall.

Ryan Houston (North Carolina)
This guy is a bruising big back who has averaged 8.5 touchdowns over the past 2 seasons. His presence certainly limits the value of starter, Shaun Draughn.


Wide Receivers

Jarvis Williams (NC State)
Williams posted a career high 11 scores last season and was the top target in the red zone for Russell Wilson. He has a huge frame and should continue to be a TD factor and also continue to limit the fantasy value of Owen Spencer.

Jarmon Fortson (Florida State)
Fortson is a big play receiver with great athletic ability which could make him a steady touchdown producer in 2010. He appears to be the TD guy in the Noles passing offense with Bert Reed being the yardage guy.

Marvin McNutt (Iowa)
McNutt hauled in 1 touchdown every 4.25 receptions…not too shabby for a 1^st year starter. He is a big target at 6 ‘4 and should continue to be the target when Iowa approaches the end zone.

Wes Kemp (Missouri)
Kemp is slated to be a starter for the Tigers in 2010 and could use his size to be a steady touchdown producer. He has great potential in the Mizzou pass heavy offense and could pay big dividends for savvy fantasy owners.
