By Elliott Troop | October 14, 2026

Week 5 is in the books, and we’re officially a third of the way through the season.

When the byes and injuries pile up, we have to make lineup decisions that make your skin crawl. With those bad decisions in mind, we start with a huge trade involving a former 1.01 pick. Here are the biggest Dynasty storylines in Week 6.

The Devy Notebook 2026: Volume 7

By Evan Kerr | October 14, 2026

Conference play is in full swing now, and the picture is rapidly becoming clearer about which players we need to watch for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, it is also becoming clear which players we should move on from before it’s too late. Let’s find out who falls on each side of the line in this week’s edition of The Devy Notebook 2026. 

It’s the second week of excuses for Isaac Brown, but that’s also due to the consistency of his poor play to begin the season. Keyjuan Brown was out for Louisville this weekend, and it led to 17 carries for Isaac Brown. The result of his increased share of the carries was 235 yards and 2 touchdowns, which included a 97-yard run where his game-breaking speed was on full display. This was the Isaac Brown we had come to know and love; I can only hope that it continues.
While we are discussing speed, the second fastest player of this week (clocked at 21.7 MPH) was BYU freshman wide receiver Legend Glasker. I will be honest, I’m still questioning how I truly feel about him as a true devy asset, but the speed pops and he is making an immediate impact as a freshman, which is always notable. He also ranks 6th in the FBS in missed tackles forced after the catch (8). He caught 5 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown against Iowa State, and we get a chance to really evaluate him when he takes on Notre Dame this coming weekend.
I spent last week discussing the vacant targets due to the numerous injuries in the Arizona receiving corps, but I was wrong about who would step into one of the most productive roles in college football. Sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Mizell caught 6 balls for 183 yards and 2 touchdowns. The 6’1” receiver has a slender 170 lb. frame but possesses elite speed, acceleration, and burst that make him a unique and dangerous weapon. He doesn’t have the route development and receiving acumen of a player like Xavier Worthy, who has similar athletic testing numbers, but there are some similarities we should be taking note of.
Jamal Roberts has the appropriate size and frame to be a relevant NFL running back. The 2027 class will likely be without Ahmad Hardy, but the 6’0”, 216 lb. backup, Jamal Roberts, is making the case to be a top-5 back in the class. Over his last two games, he has carried the ball 58 times for 433 yards and 5 touchdowns. It is worth noting that he faced Texas A&M and Florida in these matchups and not some FCS cupcakes. The performances do beg the question of how much the system makes a difference. It seems like every back to carry the ball for Missouri puts up gaudy stats, yet none of them tend to pan out at the next level. 
I feel pretty strongly that Cayden Lee is a trap. I just mentioned that Missouri’s system tends to make players shine who might not otherwise, and Lee might be taking full advantage of it. I wanted to buy in during his three seasons at Ole Miss, but he never showed me anything worth truly investing in. I can’t change my tune now. His 100th percentile outcome is Danny Amendola.

Dynasty Data Trendz: Week 5

By Chris Museezer | October 12, 2026

Fantasy point production is not always the best predictor of future fantasy point production. One blown coverage or short touchdown can instantly make a player’s otherwise pedestrian week look great for fantasy..

This is where usage trends come in. A player’s usage is a better predictor of what kind of future fantasy production we should expect. You can use this to target Dynasty owners who may be otherwise disenchanted with a low macro fantasy output, while you know the underlying factors are healthy. On the other hand, you can also utilize usage trends to see which players may have a concerning trend relative to their historical valuation that you may want to consider trading.

*Data Sources: DFF Data Factory, PFF, Fantasy Pros, NFL Pro, Next Gen Stats*

Run your own custom reports in the DFF Data Factory within the Control Room app. Receiving yards per team pass attempt is a good way to measure a player’s efficiency within their offense.  The above chart lists the top eight in RYPTPA.

1. Zay Flowers is a player I am aggressively targeting in trade offers. He is WR11 in Dynasty Community value on Keep Trade Cut. He will cost you about a mid-first. But he is still obtainable because he has played most of this season injured. His Dynasty managers haven’t seen the end result of huge fantasy points, but in reality he is producing that way in his limited time. You can see in the chart above he is even out-producing the far more expensive Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The newest factor depressing his fantasy value is the absence of Lamar Jackson. This makes the trade window wide open.  Fire out some offers this week before it is too late.

2. Similarly, Drake London has been electric since the return of Michael Penix. He has nearly doubled his target share and fantasy points per game since Penix took over the reins.

Week 6 College Football Highlights and Injury Report

By Frank Schook | October 11, 2026

Week 6 Highlights

Jesse Legree Keeps Dominating

Legree caught 10 passes for 191 yards and 3 touchdowns in Oregon State’s 66 to 14 win over San Diego State. Even without his 71-yard touchdown, he still had 9 catches for 120 yards and 2 touchdowns. That is 6 straight 100-yard games. He is not just a fun campus story anymore.

Braden Atkinson Does It Again

Atkinson completed 29 of 38 passes for 409 yards, 5 touchdowns, and no interceptions. He has topped 300 yards in all 6 games and 400 in back-to-back weeks. At some point, the C2C price has to catch up with the production.

Jonaz Walton Explodes

Walton carried 13 times for 181 yards and 2 touchdowns in Notre Dame’s 58 to 7 win over Stanford. His 97- and 40-yard touchdowns made up most of the yardage, but explosive plays count too. The bigger story is that the true freshman opportunity keeps growing.

Isaac Brown’s Box Score Needs Context

Brown ran for 235 yards and 2 touchdowns on 17 carries in Louisville’s win over Florida State. His 97- and 68-yard touchdowns accounted for 165 yards, leaving 15 carries for 70 yards without them. Enjoy the explosiveness, but do not pretend every touch was dominant.

Nate Sheppard Shows the Complete Package

Sheppard finished with 99 rushing yards, 7 catches for 91 yards and 2 touchdowns on 34 total touches. The rushing efficiency was nothing special, but the workload and receiving usage continue to support a true three-down campus role.

Arch Manning Gives Us Both Sides

Arch completed 19 of 31 passes for 260 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in Texas’ 27 to 24 loss to Oklahoma. He led the fourth-quarter tying drive, but his second interception also gave Oklahoma the short field for the winning kick.

Dylan Raiola Gets Benched

Raiola completed 6 of 19 passes for 43 yards with 2 interceptions, lost a fumble, and was replaced by Brock Thomas. Thomas nearly brought Oregon back, completing 11 of 15 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown.

Keelon Russell Meets a Real Defense

Russell completed 16 of 30 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown while adding 41 rushing yards against Georgia. It was his first game below 285 passing yards. No panic, but Georgia reminded us that the sophomore is still developing.

Devy Players of the Week: Week 6

By Jim Moorman | October 11, 2026

Devy Players of the Week is back! Week 6 features a few new names making the list, a couple of prospects salvaging their NFL draft stock, and a tight end stat line so absurd I had to double-check the box score.

Quarterback

LaNorris Sellers (QB – South Carolina) 
23-35, 279 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs
13 attempts, 31 yards, 1 TD

I wrote in the DFF Discord yesterday that this could be Sellers’ last game as a starter if they lost to Florida and dropped to 0-4 in conference. Not only did he save his job with an upset win over the Gators, but he put up one of the better stat lines in the country. 

Sellers threw for four touchdowns and rushed for one more yesterday, making several NFL-caliber throws. He looked as confident as I’ve seen him all year in the pocket, working through progressions and completing passes in some tight windows. This one game isn’t enough for me to move him back up my devy rankings, but I was thrilled to see him possibly turning a corner. 

Bear Bachmeier (QB – BYU)
22-30, 329, 2 TDs, 0 INTs
11 attempts, 107 yards

Bear Bachmeier was due for a big performance after two straight games without a passing touchdown. He dominated in BYU’s win over Iowa State this weekend, totaling 436 yards and throwing two touchdowns. Bachmeier’s dual-threat ability makes him a compelling fantasy asset, though I wouldn’t bet on him becoming an NFL starter quite yet. 

If BYU hopes to keep their undefeated season alive, Bachmeier will need to continue leading the charge with L.J. Martin out for at least another month. 

Running Back

Fame Ijeboi (RB – Purdue)

If you don’t think Fame Ijeboi is a future NFL running back, just flip on a Purdue game once and watch this kid tote the rock. He’s as physical a runner as anyone in the country and displays some impressive short-area burst through the hole. 

Fame’s surface-level stats (like yards per attempt) may not look impressive without context, but when you realize Purdue is ranked 136th out of 138 FBS teams in run block grade, you can see why. Digging a bit deeper, you’ll see Fame leads the FBS in missed tackles forced (48). His 41% juke rate this season is slightly better than Ashton Jeanty’s season average in his final season at Boise State, when he went god-mode all year. NFL workhorse is absolutely within his range of outcomes here.
