Need to make a few roster adjustments before the big playoff push?  Here are a handful of non-BCS prospects that could provide a spark. For our BCS report click here.


LOW HANGING FRUIT
No-brainer free agent adds.

QB Blaine Gautier, UL-Lafayette
Gautier has been on our waiver wire radar for the entire month of October. He has posted yet another nice game with 419 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception through the air. If you’re going to grab him, realize that he will only be a starting option for the next three weeks. After the next three games with Middle Tennessee, and Arkansas State he has a bye week then a road trip to Arizona.

RB Reggie Bullock, East Carolina
Bullock was snatched up in most leagues several weeks ago, but after battling some injury issues you may find that he has been let go in a good number of leagues right now. Despite going through some midseason changes on the offensive line, Bullock still ran the ball 26 times for 104 yards and three scores. It’s safe to say that Bullock looks to be healthy again.

RB Brynn Harvey, Central Florida
Harvey has re-established himself as The Man in the Knights' running game, rushing the ball 30, 21 and 17 times over the past 3 games.  Up next is Memphis, Tulsa, Southern Miss, East Carolina and UTEP.

WR LaVon Brazill, Ohio
We've received a number of questions regarding Brazill's fantasy worth in Expert Advice recently.  Here's the deal: Brazill produces.  Try these fantasy point outputs on for size:  8, 15, 17, 16, 20, 16, 32, 18.


OTHER OPTIONS
These prospects are worth a look.

QB Ryan Radcliff, Central Michigan
Radcliff has now posted back-to-back nice fantasy performances. In week seven he threw for 351 yards, three scores and one interceptions. In week eight he passed for 436 yards, three scores and one interception. The rest of the schedule looks pretty good with road trips to Akron and Kent State, then two home contests with Ohio and Toledo.
 
QB Riley Nelson, BYU
Nelson makes our list yet again as he continues to produce. In case you haven't noticed lately, Nelson has been extremely productive since taking over the starting quarterback job.  In Week 8 he ran the ball for 62 yards and a TD, and he passed for 215 yards and 3 scores. 

QB Derek Carr, Fresno State
Carr is finally living up to the preseason hype with his second multi-touchdown performance in a row. Against Nevada he tossed the ball around for 315 yards and three touchdowns. He has been surprisingly good for a while now with several good fantasy performance over the last month. He is looking like a solid QB2 right now in deep leagues, or a solid spot starter in more shallow leagues.

QB Zac Dysert, Miami-OH
This is the second good fantasy game in three weeks for Dysert. In week eight he passed for 333 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. His receivers came through for him this week, and the lack of production last week may have a lot to deal with the receiver play. There are three good match-ups left on the schedule, with a questionable match-up and a bad match-up. Miami takes on Buffalo, Akron on a Thursday night, then Temple on the following Wednesday (stay away fantasy owners), the follows those games up with Western Michigan and Ohio.

RB Kenny Turner, New Mexico State
Turner has put up 28, 18, 26, and 28 fantasy points over the past four weeks.  We've mentioned him in this space before.  He has a couple nice match ups left on the schedule.

RB Trey Watts, Tulsa
After a rough outing against UAB, Watts got back to being the RB1 for the Golden Hurricane, putting up 24 fantasy points against Rice.  He's a bit of a risk as QB G.J. Kinne can steal carries in the running game, but if you're in a deep league in need of a spot start, Watts should be a consideration.

RB William Pratcher, Middle Tennessee
Nearly the whole RB corps for the Blue Raiders are injured.  Pratcher is picking up the slack.  He busted loose for 125 yards and a TD on 23 carries against FAU last week.

RB Adonis Thomas, Toledo
Did you notice that Adonis saw some playing time last week?  10 carries for 80 yards and a TD.  Keep an eye on him to see if his workload increases as he continues to recover from that broken arm.

WR Cody Hoffman, BYU
Hoffman has established a rapport with new QB Riley Nelson.  Over the past two games, he's caught 14 balls for 233 yards and 3 touchdowns.  TCU and a bye week are up next.

WR Cody Wilson, Central Michigan
Wilson was a huge bust during the first six weeks of the season, but he's turned it on the last two weeks with 17 catches for 202 yards and a TD.

TE David Blackburn, Central Michigan
The Chippewas’ passing game has been on a hot streak these last two weeks. Blackburn has been one of the standouts during this time. In week seven he caught 8 passes for 83 yards and one touchdown, and in week eight he caught nine balls for 194 yards and two scores. As long as the passing game remains hot, Blackburn should remain hot.
