Champs

Quarterbacks
1.     Case Keenum, Houston- By far the performance of the year (534 yards, 9 TDs). Nobody will come close to matching this production as Keenum stated his case as to why he was the No. 1 pick in most fantasy drafts.
2.     Landry Jones, Oklahoma- Was there really any doubt that Jones and Co. would get back on track after their first loss of the season. The junior quarterback had a field day with 505 yards passing, 5 TDs. 
3.     A.J. Graham, Marshall- Graham has really been able to move the offense well after being inserted as the starter a few weeks ago. He made the most of a terrible UAB defense by throwing for 5 TDs.

Running Backs
1.     Rolandan Finch, Boston College- Finally a standout performance from a BC running back. Finch might be the guy the rest of the way now after he rushed for 237 yards and 2 TDs
2.     Joseph Randle, Oklahoma State- Randle has been on a tear of late. He is now a priority start after rushing for 152 yards on just 14 carries and scoring 4 TDs
3.     Chris Polk, Washington- A complete day for Polk as he did is both rushing and catching the football; 100 yards receiving 1 TD, 144 rushing 4 TDs

Wide Receivers
1.     Patrick Edwards, Houston- I’m guessing after this week, Edwards wishes he could face the pathetic Rice defense every week. Defenders were barely in the vicinity when he caught the football for 318 yards and 5 TDs
2.     Kamar Jorden, Bowling Green- With the leading rusher out for the game, the passing attack got on schedule. Jorden had his best day of the year, catching 12 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown.   
3.     Tommy Streeter, Miami- Streeter was jumping all over the Virginia secondary to catch 2 TDs on 176 yards receiving.   

Tight Ends
1.     Drake Dunsmore, Northwestern-  Huge day for Dan Persa’s favorite target; 7 catches, 114 yards, 4 TDs
2.     Philip Lutzenkirchen, Auburn- The QB change to Clint Moseley should bode well for Lutzenkirchen in the remaining games of the season. He only caught 3 passes for 27 yards, but scored 2 TDs in the process.
3.     Jordan Reed, Florida- With John Brantley returning from injury, the Gators’ passing attack finally got a boost. Reed finished with 69 yards and a touchdown.  
 
Chumps

Quarterbacks
1.     Tanner Price, Wake Forest- The Wake Forest passing attack may be coming back to earth after a stellar start to the season. Price really struggled against the athletic Tar Heel defense; 146 yards passing, 0 TDs 3 picks.  
2.     J.J. McDermott, SMU- Calling Mr. Padron. McDermott’s run as starter may be in question after a pitiful performance against Tulsa; 181 yards and 4 interceptions.  
3.     Seth Doege, Texas Tech- After dominating an Oklahoma defense the week prior, Doege and the Red Raiders put up a clunker against a bad Iowa State team. Doege only managed 171 passing yards.   

Running Backs
1.     Malcolm Agnew, Oregon State- Not a very good day for the entire Beaver offense. Agnew should be very good in the future, but this wasn’t a good day as he rushed for 26 yards total.  
2.     Chris Rainey, Florida- Had just over 50 total yards as both a back and receiver. Two fumbles lost doesn’t help the cause either.    
3.     Branden Oliver, Buffalo- Any game where you have a two-yard average per carry on 24 carries is not a good game.   

Wide Receivers:
1.     B.J. Cunningham, Michigan State- As always, Sparty gets completely shut down away from home. Cunningham failed to record a catch in the loss.
2.     Darius Johnson, SMU- Johnson recorded more catches than yards; 3 receptions for 2 yards.  
3.     Dan Buckner, Arizona- If you would have told me Nick Foles threw the ball for 388 yards on 32 completions, I would have said Buckner would be a must-start. Not the case, as he only caught 2 passes for 27 yards.  

Tight Ends:
1.     Tyler Eifert, Notre Dame- You would expect more from Eifert when the offense puts up 56 points; 1 catch for 17 yards.
