Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Quarterbacks
Chris Reynolds, Charlotte (31-43, 401 yards, 5TD, INT at Georgia State)
Reynolds, who has been Charlotte's starting quarterback since 2018, had one of the best games of his career in the comeback win against Georgia State. This was a triumphant return for Reynolds, whose Charlotte team lost to both FCS William and Mary and Maryland in the two games that he missed.
Reynolds has shown flashes of brilliance in his five years in Charlotte, including throwing 26 touchdown passes last year. It is games like this that might get him a combine invite. He's not a great runner nor is he as tall as most NFL scouts would like, but the arm strength could get him a look at the next level.
Honorable mention: C.J. Stroud, Ohio State;
Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Running Backs
Samson Evans, Eastern Michigan (36 carries, 258 yards, TD at Arizona State)
When a guy from a MAC school runs for 250+ on a team like Arizona State, who has former NFL guru Herm Edwards as its coach, we should take notice. The Eagles went out to the valley of the sun and upset the Sun Devils on the back of Evans and his first career 100-yard game.
Evans, the Illinois Gatorade high school player of the year in 2018, originally committed to Iowa, but transferred to Ypsilanti before the 2020 season after playing exclusively on special teams for the Hawkeyes. He finally has this backfield to himself, and if he can put up games like that against a team coached by Herm Edwards, Evans could have a huge season in the MAC.
Honorable mention: Aidan Robbins, UNLV; DeWayne McBride, UAB
Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Wide Receivers
Rashee Rice, SMU (11 receptions, 196 yards at Maryland)
Rice didn't catch a touchdown against the Terrapins, but he was the only reason that SMU had a chance in this game. He caught a bunch of contested passes in this game. He has elite jumping ability and great hands that will translate well to the next level.
Rice has played second fiddle to guys such as James Proche, Reggie Roberson, and Danny Gray in his time in Dallas, but he is clearly the number 1 receiver this year. He has the upside of another SMU product that left just before Rice got there: Courtland Sutton.
Honorable mention: Will Sheppard, Vanderbilt; Charlie Jones, Purdue
