Need to bolster your college fantasy football roster?  Here are a few Non-BCS players for your consideration.  For our BCS list, click here.


SNATCH ‘EM UP
If these guys are still available in your league, it’s time to pull the trigger.

QB Matt Schilz, Bowling Green
Schilz leads the country in passing TDs (11) and is fifth in passing yards (985).  And folks, we haven’t even gotten ino the heart of the juicy MAC schedule yet. Against Wyoming he threw the ball 55 times for 437 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions.

RB Mike Ball, Nevada
Ball was a hot sleeper draft pick, but due to the uncertainty of who would be the starter for Nevada, some fantasy owners got nervous and dropped the Ball (pardon the pun). If you are lucky enough to be in a league where Ball is free, place him at the top of your waiver wire list. Against San Jose State he ran the ball 29 times for 124 yards and reached the endzone twice.
 
WR Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech
Patton just continues to perform each week. Although he may have been snatched up in most leagues last week, there’s a chance he could still be floating out there. Against Houston he caught five receptions for 82 yards and a score. Not as spectacular as his week two performance, but he is showing that he is a reliable WR3 option for your fantasy line-up.

TE Crockett Gillmore, Colorado State
Caught 5 balls for 84 yards and a score against Colorado on Saturday.  He's snagged at least 4 passes in each game this year, and has nice matchups with Utah State and San Jose State up next.


 
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
If you have the roster room, these prospects are worth a look.
 
QB Tyler Tettleton, Ohio
The Bobcats haven’t played anyone with a pulse yet in 2011, but Tettleton has taken advantage.  He’s posted 30.1, 14.0 and 34.7 fantasy points to kick off the year.  He’s a dual threat who’s rushed the ball for 97 yards and 3 scores thus far, while passing for  577 yards and 7 scores.  He faces Rutgers this week, but after that all that’s left is a smooth MAC schedule.

QB Ryan Griffin, Tulane
When the match up is right, Griffin has proved he can put up some decent stats.  He posted 22.7 and 24.7 fantasy points against SE Louisiana and UAB, respectively.  He did struggle in Week 2 against Tulsa.  There are many favorable matchups remaining on the Green Wave’s schedule.  Consider Griffin in deep leagues.

RB Matthew Tucker, TCU
Tucker is a part of an RBBC situation for the Horned Frogs, but with Ed Wesley banged up, he’s taken the lead role.  Tucker has posted 14, 23 and 19 fantasy points to start the season.  Solid production for those in deeper leagues.  TCU has Portland State this week.

RB Ryan Boykin, Ohio
Here’s a guy for your watch list.  He posted a 25-130-1 statline against Marshall this weekend.  He had been sharing time with Donte Harden, but may be earning a bigger role in the offense.  Stay tuned.

RB Jahwan Edwards, Ball State
In week three he ran the ball 22 times for 112 yards and a score against conference foe Buffalo. In week one Ball State faced Indiana and he carried the ball 16 times for 84 yards in that one. It’s still a bit early to see if he’s really “the guy” at running back, but if you are in real need of a running back there are positive signs with his play so far that would warrant picking Edwards up.

WR Philip Payne, UNLV
Those of you who watched UNLV face Wisconsin on the opening night of the season saw that he was targeted over and over again in the passing game.  He just failed to make the catch in most instances.  Against Hawaii, he made plays when given the opportunity, catching 7 balls for 98 yards and 2 scores.  Southern Utah is up next.  Payne is a risky play, but if you catch him on the right week as a spot starter he could pay dividends.

WR Bryan Burnham, Tulsa
This guy has emerged as a TD machine for the Golden Hurricane with 5 TDs in the first three games.  He doesn’t get a ton of touches, but makes the most of them.  Burnham is a slightly risky option given G.J. Kinne’s knee injury, but assuming Kinne is back in a few weeks he might be worth adding for the back half of the schedule.  He won’t help you much this week with a freshman QB likely to start at Boise State. 
 
WR Justin Johnson, Houston
Johnson is a senior who has the larger body type that Houston has used in the past with guys like James Cleveland and Travis Hefner. Johnson seems to keep expanding his role from week to week. He only had two receptions in week one, then four receptions for 87 yards in week two, and in week three he had five receptions for 100 yards. There’s still a bunch of weapons for Case Keenum to throw the ball to, but Johnson might be a good fit for deep leagues, o r at the very least someone to add to your watch list.
 
WR Tyler Shoemaker, Boise State
The wide receiver position has been hard to pin down this season. Plenty of names have popped up as possible main targets, but the weekly production of these names continues to be erratic. Shoemaker reached the endzone three times against Toledo. The problem is he did it on only four receptions for 52 yards. The only other game this season saw him catch two balls for 23 yards and one score. Until things start to settle down a bit with the Boise receivers, keep your expectations in check.

WR Taveon Rogers, New Mexico State
Rogers received plenty of attention on the CFG forums last week, but we mention him again here.  He’s scored a TD in each game, and posted 18, 23 and 15 fantasy points.  San Jose State and New Mexico are up next and he should continue to produce.

WR Mike Scott, Idaho
Scott has flown under the radar in most leagues because, well, he plays for Idaho.  But his stats speak for themselves.  6-89-0, 8-99-1, and 8-97-0.  If you in a super-deep PPR league, Scott is worth a hard look.
