Wyatt Young Questionable, Expected to Play
Oklahoma State wide receiver Wyatt Young (undisclosed) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against UCF. It is unknown what Young's injury is, but he is reportedly expected to play on Saturday. Young has caught 22 passes for 410 yards and three touchdowns on the season thus far, leading the team last week with eight grabs for 192 yards and a touchdown in the win over West Virginia. Having him active should be a big boost for the Cowboys' offense.

Michael Hawkins Jr. Remains in Must-Start Territory
West Virginia quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. has been a fantasy cheat code thus far with his tendency to lean on the run. Hawkins only has one game under 100 rushing yards this season, and it was an early-season game against UT-Martin where he recorded 96 rushing yards in limited play. He is averaging just 9.4 completions per game but with his enormous rushing upside, Hawkins has established himself as the top quarterback in college fantasy. This week against Arizona, his ceiling remains extremely high and his floor remains safe given his rushing ability. He is a must-start going forward no matter the matchup.

Jonaz Walton Taking Over Notre Dame Backfield?
Notre Dame freshman running back Jonaz Walton led the backfield last week in the win over North Carolina. The true freshman has not yet found the endzone, but saw what was by far his biggest workload of the season last Saturday. Walton does appear to be the most explosive of the Irish's running backs, as he took 23 carries for 120 yards while also catching two passes for 28 yards. Even if he does not start, as both Aneyas Williams and Nolan James Jr. are healthy, Walton should have a safe floor this week against one of the worst rush defenses in college football in Stanford. The Fighting Irish should not have trouble putting points up, and Walton's workload has increased each week. Start him with confidence.

Ryan Coleman-Williams Eyeing Big Game vs. Georgia
Two seasons ago, Alabama wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams (then known as Ryan Williams) became a household name in the 41-34 win over Georgia. Coleman-Williams caught six passes for 177 yards and a touchdown as a true freshman, hitting his iconic catch-and-spin move on his touchdown. Beyond that game, Coleman-Williams really was never the same. He was plagued with drops last season, leading the nation with 10 of them. The issue seems to be behind him this season, as Coleman-Williams leads the team in receiving with 20 receptions for 376 yards and four touchdowns. The star receiver claims to have refound his love for the game, and is once again playing at a high level heading into this weekend's matchup with Georgia. Even though the Bulldogs' defense has been great, Coleman-Williams is worth starting in fantasy given the high output of Alabama's offense.

Jorden Edmonds Questionable in Week 6
Alabama cornerback Jorden Edmonds (lower body) is questionable to play in the team's Week 6 battle against Georgia. It would be his season and collegiate debut if he's able to suit up. He's missed the rest of the season after suffering the injury in preseason camp. Edmonds is a highly-regarded cornerback, and was a five-star recruit. This would be a meaningful game for him to return, as he's from Marietta, Georgia. Alabama will take all the help it can as it tries to slow the Georgia offense. The Bulldogs are averaging 478.8 yards and 51.4 points per game so far. Playing in less-than-stellar conditions could help the defense, and getting a player like Edmonds back would also be a boost.

Dylan Stewart Set to Play in Week 6
South Carolina defensive end Dylan Stewart is playing in the team's Week 6 matchup against Florida. He had been suspended after punching an Alabama player and an outburst afterward earlier this season. He has played in two games so far, registering one tackle, which went for loss. Across his first two seasons and 24 games at South Carolina, the d-lineman had 56 combined tackles, 11 sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 22.5 tackles for loss. His presence will help the Gamecocks, who will be trying to slow a Gators' offense that's averaged 491.2 yards and 46.2 points per game so far.

Koby Howard Out Again in Week 6
Penn State wide receiver Koby Howard (undisclosed) is out again in Week 6. He has missed two games in a row, after starring in the first three contests for the Nittany Lions. The wideout combined for 12 catches, 344 yards and two touchdowns in the first three games, plus had two rushes for 24 yards and another score. He still leads the team in receiving yards and is tied for first with his three total touchdowns. With Howard out again, wide receivers Chase Sowell and Brett Eskildsen and tight end Benjamin Brahmer will be more involved in the passing game for Penn State. The Nittany Lions are facing USC this week - the Trojans allow 348.8 yards and 25.5 points per game so far, but have an easier task with Howard out.

Jamal Rule a Full-Go for Week 6
Nebraska running back Jamal Rule (lower body/ankle) is a full go this week for the team's matchup with Indiana. The freshman missed last week's game against Maryland. In his first three games, Rule rushed for 329 yards and five touchdowns across 38 attempts, while adding four receptions for 82 yards and another score. Rule being back is a big offensive boost for Nebraska, and they'll need all the help they can get against an Indiana defense that allows just 237.8 yards and 10.8 points per game so far. Fantasy owners should trust Rule to deliver despite the tough matchup, based on what he did in his first couple of games of the season.

Jer'Michael Carter Probable for Week 6 Against Texas
Oklahoma wide receiver Jer'Michael Carter (undisclosed) is probable to play in Week 6 against Texas. He's yet to play this season for the Sooners, who only have three pass catchers over 100 receiving yards in four contests. Isaiah Sategna III leads the team with 20 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Rocky Beers has 255 yards and two scores across 18 receptions, while wideout Trell Harris has 104 yards and a touchdown over six grabs. Oklahoma needs all the help it can get, as Texas has allowed just 271 yards and 13.3 points per game so far this season. Carter could immediately carve out an offensive role for an unit looking for more playmakers.

George MacIntyre to Start for Volunteers Again
Quarterback George MacIntyre will make another start for Tennessee in the team's Week 6 game against Arkansas. Faizon Brandon (shoulder) is listed as questionable, but won't start, even if active. Ryan Staub is QB3 for now, but would be the top backup if Brandon is inactive. Across four games, MacIntyre has completed 70% of his passes for 148 yards and a touchdown, while rushing for no yards across two attempts. Arkansas is a solid matchup, allowing 340 yards and 28.4 points per game so far this season. MacIntyre isn't a very good fantasy option, and that should be taken into account when thinking about other Tennessee offensive playmakers as well.

Mazeo Bennett Jr. Probable for Week 6 Battle
South Carolina wide receiver Mazeo Bennett Jr. (undisclosed) is probable for the team's showdown with Florida in Week 6. Across five games this season, Bennett has hauled in 18 passes for 201 yards and a touchdown. He leads the team in receptions and receiving yards. He has eight rushing yards across two attempts as well. Florida has allowed 393 yards and 27.2 points per game so far, so the matchup is pretty favorable for Bennett if he's able to suit up. If he cannot, expect wideouts Nyck Harbor, DJ Black and Donovan Murph to help fill the void. Running back Matthew Fuller and tight end Brady Hunt could also see expanded opportunities in the pass game.

Nate Frazier Off Injury Report, Expected to Play
Georgia running back Nate Frazier (rib) is off the team's injury report and is expected to play in the team's battle with Alabama in Week 6 of the college football season. Across four games this year, Frazier has 211 rushing yards and five touchdowns across 26 attempts, while catching a pass for five more yards. He's been involved offensively for the Bulldogs in each of the past two seasons as well, so getting the junior back against Bama would be a nice offensive boost. Frazier has been the top Georgia back this season, with Dwight Phillips Jr., Bo Walker and Chauncey Bowens helping out. The addition of Frazier could muddy the RB room and production, and heading into a tougher test, fantasy owners need to temper expectations for all the Bulldog backs.

Isiah Canion a Game-Time Decision in Week 6
Georgia starting wide receiver Isiah Canion (leg) is listed as questionable and is a game-time decision for the team's showdown with Alabama on Saturday. He has just three catches for 28 yards this season across three games. He has not played since Week 3, and heading into a tough test, getting Canion back would be a nice boost for the Georgia offense. Without Canion available most of the season, the Bulldogs have five players (wide receivers Craig Dandridge, Talyn Taylor and Sacovie White-Helton, running back Chauncey Bowens and tight end Lawson Luckie) over 100 receiving yards, but none are over 177. Bama's defense has allowed 312.6 yards and 20.8 points per game so far, and will be the Bulldogs' toughest test to this point.

Jeremy Hecklinski Expected to Start Over Hank Brown
Iowa is expected to start Jeremy Hecklinski at quarterback against Washington on Friday night. He will replace the injured Hank Brown (shoulder). Hecklinski has completed 56.3% of his passes this season for 208 yards and a touchdown, while throwing one interception. He's rushed for five yards on two attempts. Brown is at 62.9% as a passer, going for 832 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. He has 16 yards and a touchdown across 17 rushing attempts. The likely QB change is a downgrade for the Iowa offense, and could mean more is placed on the running game, which has been led by Kamari Moulton so far. Washington is allowing 303.4 yards and 18.4 points per game so far, so the matchup doesn't help Hecklinski much.

Kewan Lacy Questionable for Saturday
Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy (shoulder) was listed on Thursday's injury report as questionable for Saturday's road test against Vanderbilt. It was previously reported that Lacy would be good to go, yet he remains on the report as questionable, which puts his status up in the air. If he's unable to go, the Rebels will lean on Makhi Frazier and JT Lindsey to carry the load on the ground. Lacy has not played since exiting the LSU game back on September 19.

Mario Craver Questionable for Saturday
Texas A&M star receiver Mario Craver (ankle) remains listed as questionable on Thursday's injury report ahead of Saturday's road trip to Columbia. Craver suffered the injury against LSU last week, briefly leaving the game in the second quarter before returning. Craver is second on the team in receiving yards, behind Isaiah Horton, with 23 catches for 235 yards and two scores. The Aggies will need all the help they can get against a surging Missouri team but if Craver can't go, expect Ashton Bethel-Roman to step up in his place.

Brandon Inniss, Devin McCuin Questionable for Saturday
Ohio State's wide receiver room appears to be banged up, as second and third options Brandon Inniss and Devin McCuin are both listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Maryland. If they can't go, look for freshmen Chris Henry Jr. and Brock Boyd to see an increase in playing time. McCuin and Inniss are second and third, respectively, on the team in receiving yards, followed by the two aforementioned freshmen. Jeremiah Smith has received the lion's share of receiving work thus far this season, and that should not change pending the availability of McCuin and Inniss.

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, Adam Mohammed Questionable for Saturday
Cal quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele (concussion) and running back Adam Mohammed (knee) are both listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Virginia Tech. Sagapolutele was replaced last week by Jackson Brousseau, who threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to UNLV. It appears that the star quarterback may still be in the concussion protocol, which makes his status unclear for this weekend. Mohammed did not play last week after exiting the previous game against Clemson. The Golden Bears' offense will be missing significant firepower if neither player is able to suit up.

Jayden Scott Out for Saturday
North Carolina State running back Jayden "Duke" Scott (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Wake Forest. Scott left last week's win over Louisville early with the injury and was replaced by North Carolina transfer Davion Gause. Gause finished the game with 69 yards on the ground and 45 yards through the air, and is a viable fantasy replacement for Scott while he tends to his foot injury.

Keyjuan Brown a Game-Time Decision on Friday
Louisville running back Keyjuan Brown (undisclosed) remains listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision on Friday night as the Cardinals host Florida State. Brown fumbled twice last week in the loss against North Carolina State and was pulled from the game. He leads the team in rushing with 367 yards on 38 carries. If he can't go, Isaac Brown should see an increased workload against a weak Florida State defense.

Cayden Green On Track to Play Against Texas A&M
Missouri star left tackle Cayden Green (undisclosed) is tracking to play this weekend against Texas A&M. Green popped up on the injury report on Wednesday as questionable with an undisclosed injury, but CBS's Matt Zenitz reported that the star tackle will be good to go on Saturday. Green is one of the top offensive line prospects for the 2027 draft, and will look to continue to build momentum coming off of Missouri's dominant win over Florida last week.
