Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Quarterbacks

Sam Hartman, Wake Forest (20-29, 337 yards, 6TD vs. Clemson)

Hartman would have easily had another 100 passing yards if it weren't for all of the pass interference penalties on the Clemson secondary. Hartman did set a school record and ACC record with six touchdown passes in this one. Hartman threw for 4,228 yards and 39 touchdowns last season, but came back  to try and trim the interception total. So far, so good. The fifth-year Junior only has only thrown two through four games.

Hartman has good size and can extend plays with his legs. He's not a true dual threat in the vein of Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts, but Hartman did run for 363 yards last year. Keep in mind that sacks count against rushing yards in college as well. He has the size and a strong arm with enough elusiveness to make him a good starter at the next level.

Honorable mention: Kurtis Rourke, Ohio; Adrian Martinez, Kansas State

 

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Running Backs

Blake Corum, Michigan (30 carries, 243 yards, 2TD vs. Maryland)

Corum, a week after his five-touchdown game against UConn, was at it again this week. His 30 carries were by far a career high. Michigan prefers to use two backs, but Corum's backup, Donovan Edwards was out this game. The Michigan offense was having issues getting anything going in the passing game, but the 5'8", 210-lb Junior controlled the game on the ground.

Corum projects to be a productive part of some NFL team's backfield as soon as next year. He's not in that much on passing downs for Michigan, but he has averaged 6.4 yards per carry in his collegiate career on 234 carries. He doesn't have a lot of mileage on his legs and is used to being in a timeshare, but he proved with this game that he can carry the load if needed.

Honorable mention: Jaydn Ott, California; Marshawn Lloyd, South Carolina

 

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Wide Receivers

Tyler Scott, Cincinnati (10 receptions, 185 yards, 3TD vs. Indiana)

The Bearcats have been looking for the heir to Alec Pierce for a couple of games now. They finally found it with Scott. He opened some eyes with his eight catches for 119 yards last week, but he was the guy that Ben Bryant was looking for when he needed to complete a pass last week.

Scott is a bit undersized, but he is quick and has great hands. Many a player has succeeded in the NFL without elite size. Scott likely projects as a slot receiver at the next level. He has 423 yards and five touchdowns through four games so far this season and NFL teams are starting to take notice.

Honorable mention: De'Corian Clark, UTSA; Fotis Kokosioulis, Fordham

 

Fantasy Football Dynasty Watch: Tight Ends

Luke Schoonmaker, Michigan (7 receptions, 72 yards, TD vs. Maryland)

Schoonmaker was quarterback J.J. McCarthy's security blanket in Michigan's conference opener here. Schoonmaker, who is usually the second-string tight end, found himself back in the starting lineup with Erick All missing the game. The Wolverines usually use tight ends for blocking and not as much in the passing game, but Schoonmaker wasn't needed as much for blocking in this game. They needed to move the chains and McCarthy was having trouble with the deep ball.

The 6'6" senior was on NFL radars anyway for his blocking ability. Schoonmaker only has 29 career receptions including this game, but this is something that scouts will undoubtedly watch film on. Tight ends are front-and-center on some NFL teams. If Schoonmaker can show receiving chops along with his blocking, it can bode well for his chances of being drafted next year.

Honorable mention: Caleb Phillips, Hawaii

Be sure to stay tuned all season long to see these coming attractions!
