Every college football season, an unexpected quarterback prospect seems to emerge from the shadows, step into the national spotlight, and enter the conversation as a potential first-round pick.
In 2019, it was former Ohio State backup, Joe Burrow. In 2025, it was former Cal starter and Indiana Hoosier transfer, Fernando Mendoza.
2026? Early returns suggest the University of Missouri southpaw gunslinger, Austin Simmons.
The 247 four-star transfer portal signee arrives at Columbia by way of the Ole Miss Rebels and has the Tigers off and running with a 2-0 record.
So who is Austin Simmons, and why does there seem to be a groundswell of hype building behind him?
Let’s begin with what makes him truly one-of-a-kind. Simmons is currently in his fourth year of college, 20 years old, and working on his master’s. A true academic prodigy, he graduated high school in two years and skipped his junior and senior years to jump into the SEC and play at Ole Miss. Originally a class of 2025 quarterback, he reclassified to 2023 to get an early start on his tutelage from Lane Kiffin.
Drawn to Ole Miss specifically because of Kiffin’s offensive prowess and ability to develop elite quarterbacks, the high school two-sport phenom was also swayed by the promise of being able to play football and baseball in Oxford.
In the summer of 2023, Simmons flipped his commitment from the Florida Gators to Ole Miss and spent the fall 2023 season taking a redshirt year to adapt to the speed of college athletics. Simmons joined the Mississippi baseball team as a left-handed relief pitcher. He made 13 bullpen appearances, putting up a stellar 3.21 ERA and a 2-0 record before a minor elbow sprain ended his baseball season. After the injury, Simmons stepped away from baseball to focus on football, his first love.
In the fall of 2024, Simmons was back on the gridiron as the primary backup to future first-round pick Jaxson Dart. He appeared in nine games, flashing high-end upside.
After Dart’s departure, Simmons beat out the competition in fall camp and was named the undisputed starter for the 2025 season. In week 1, he exploded for 341 yards and 3 touchdowns against Georgia State. However, in week 2 against Kentucky, he suffered a pivotal left ankle injury. While Simmons healed, little-known backup, former Division II star and potential 2026 first-round pick, Trinidad Chambliss took over, and the offense caught fire, leading the Rebels to a College Football Playoff berth and leaving Simmons relegated to the bench.
Recognizing the writing was on the wall, Simmons entered the transfer portal on January 2, 2026. Four days later, he joined the Tigers of Missouri.

Week One is officially in the books. After over 200 days of waiting, Week One lived up to expectations as offenses and fantasy stalwarts put up some huge numbers. Of course, there were some duds. The less said about Colston Loveland’s goose egg, the better. Especially on a day the Bears scored 59 points. I’m not bitter, I promise.
Here are the biggest dynasty storylines heading into Week Two.
Year Two Quarterbacks
One of the most intriguing NFL subplots is the 2025 quarterback class. Whilst Cam Ward didn’t have the collegiate equity of a Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence, he was a lock at No.1 for a Titans team in desperate need of a quarterback. Ward struggled in Year One, ranking bottom 3 in both EPA/dropback and CPOE, but the offensive environment was bad. In Week One against the Jets, Ward’s struggles continued as the Titans logged under 200 yards of offense.
Cam Ward’s struggles were highlighted by both Jaxson Dart and Tyler Shough. Both put together strong performances against some admittedly bad defenses. Shough leads the NFL in passing yards, whilst Dart delivered arguably his most accomplished performance. The Giants ranked in the 95th percentile in EPA / play and success rate.
Heading into Week Two, Ward faces another stern test against the Eagles. Meanwhile, Shough and Dart go on the road to the Ravens and the Rams, respectively.
Week 3 is where we need to start trusting what we are actually seeing on the field. We have 2 games of touches, targets, and roles to work with now. Some players are confirming what we thought all offseason, while others are already forcing us to adjust.
The goal is still the same. I am not here to tell you to start the obvious stars. We are looking for the players whose current role, matchup, or availability can make a difference in your campus lineup this week. As always, every C2C league is different. Your scoring, lineup requirements, and roster can change a close decision.
All kickoff times are Eastern.
Quarterbacks
Starts
Austin Simmons, Missouri
vs. Troy
Saturday at 7 p.m.
Simmons has been one of the best early surprises of the season. Through 2 games, he has completed 36 of 48 passes for 544 yards, 7 touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
What I like most is how comfortable he already looks running this Missouri offense. This is not a quarterback surviving on 1 or 2 big plays. He has been accurate, efficient, and has consistently moved the offense. Now he gets Troy at home. I am riding this start until somebody gives me a reason not to.
Kamario Taylor, Mississippi State
@ South Carolina
Saturday at 4:15 p.m.
Taylor has been exactly what we want from a C2C quarterback through 2 games. He has thrown for 581 yards and 7 touchdowns without an interception, but the rushing production is what really gets my attention.
Against Minnesota, Taylor carried the ball 13 times for 86 yards. That gives him another path to fantasy points if the passing touchdowns come back down. This will be his first SEC start, but the dual-threat role gives me enough confidence to keep him in the lineup.
Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State
vs. Murray State
Saturday at 7 p.m.
I am staying with Mestemaker. After a rough opener, he responded against Oregon with 317 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 109 rushing yards, and another touchdown on the ground.
That rushing involvement changes everything. When a quarterback can give us that type of production with his legs, he does not need the passing game to be perfect every week. Now Murray State comes to Stillwater.

Last Week In Fantasy: Week 1
Week 1 of the NFL season is in the rearview mirror, but fantasy season is finally back, baby! We’ve made our bets, and while we still have time to see which ones will cash and which ones we hope to parlay into a better one, now is the time to see if we were right, wrong, or just early. To help with that, I’m introducing my new weekly article, “Last Week In Fantasy” — a piece that filters through the data, stats, and news across all 32 teams every week to help you decide if a player is a Buy, Sell, or Stash!
Dynasty Stashes – Week 2
Raheim Sanders (RB – CLE)
If Raheim “Rocket” Sanders wasn’t scooped up in your league’s initial waiver run this week, make sure you grab him. With Dylan Sampson now on IR with a knee injury, Sanders steps into the RB2 role behind Quinshon Judkins.
We saw Sanders get some work at the end of last year when Judkins went down with an injury. In the final three games, he toted the rock 24 times for 89 scoreless yards and caught three passes for 21 yards.
Worst case, Sanders takes over Sampson’s pass-catching role, which is what we saw on Sunday. The second-year back caught all three of his targets for 25 yards against the Jaguars.
Given Cleveland’s offensive environment, Sanders won’t have much standalone value unless Judkins is sidelined for any reason. But there’s some talent here. He rushed for over 1,400 yards at Arkansas in 2022. As a senior at South Carolina, he amassed 1,197 total yards, caught 27 passes, and found pay dirt 13 times. Sanders also ran a 4.46 40-yard dash at roughly 220 pounds.
That combination of size and athleticism makes him worth stashing for the contingent upside alone.
Roman Wilson (WR – PIT)
In the future, rookie Germie Bernard might be a stud. But if Sunday’s usage is any indication of how the snaps are going to shake out, then he might not be a thing this season.
Roman Wilson might be, though. After a couple of years of being an afterthought for the Steelers, it looks like he’s finally involved in the passing attack.
Wilson played 55% of the snaps and received the most targets he’s ever seen in a game in his young career: six. He finished the day catching three for 26 yards, but his day could’ve been much, much better.
He beat A.J. Terrell on a go ball that should’ve been a 65-yard touchdown. Wilson had a clean release off the line and stacked Terrell down the field, forcing the corner to interfere and essentially tackle Wilson rather than give up the long score.
Wilson also dropped a 40-plus-yard score at the end of the first half. Granted, he had a defender draped all over him, but the deep ball hit Wilson right in the hands, and he should’ve caught it.
If either of those plays hit, we’re talking about Wilson being a must-roster player in all formats rather than a deep dynasty stash. Funny how small the margins are.
Go grab him if he’s still out there in the available player pool. Aaron Rodgers talked up Wilson throughout the offseason and backed up that praise in Week 1 with a few deep shots that should’ve resulted in touchdowns.

Dynasty Data Trendz: Week 1
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.
Dynasty Buy and Sell: Week 1
It’s that time of year when teams start to show who’s built for the long haul and who’s running on fumes. The bye weeks are hitting hard, injuries are piling up, and depth starts to matter. Every move from here on out counts. That’s where we make our money: finding those buy windows before they slam shut and moving off guys right before the drop comes. With that, let’s dive right into my top four “buys” and “sells” from a dynasty perspective following Week 1.
Buys
Dak Prescott (QB – DAL) – Not going to be in many low-scoring games this year. The defense doesn’t look any better. Should throw at least 2 touchdowns weekly.
Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) – They were getting blown out most of the game, and the Jaguars made sure to stop the run. He has 12 carries for 33 yards and 2 catches for 17 yards. Not great by any means, but the touches will be there in games that are not blowouts.
The Devy Notebook 2026: Volume 3
Welcome back to the third edition of the Devy Notebook 2026. It feels like the season is just beginning, and we’re only one weekend of games away from being 25% of the way through it. In a largely non-conference slate, it can be difficult to balance overreactions and underreactions, but I am here to sift through the relevant devy players for you and advise you on which players you should be paying attention to. Let’s see who made an impression during this week’s games.
Malachi Toney was at it again this weekend, quickly racking up 96 yards and a touchdown against a much lesser opponent in the first half. We have now seen through two weeks that Toney’s route tree is evolving and his aDOT is improving this season compared to last. It’s the first step we needed to start pushing him into the upper echelon of dynasty wide receivers. If he is going to be used down the field like this consistently, there is no reason to keep him out of the top 4 overall devy wide receivers.
Reed Harris looked like he could not be covered against Texas A&M. The 6’5”, 220 lb. wide receiver caught 9 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns this weekend. He is a fluid mover off the line of scrimmage and shows some wiggle at the top of his route that helps him create easy separation. His frame also allows him to reel in contested catches along the sideline over smaller defensive backs. Add his name to an already deep 2027 wide receiver class.
Isaac Brown has always been known for his speed and athleticism. His efficiency as a runner is one of the biggest reasons why many of us drafted him in C2C leagues and were excited about him as an NFL prospect. Coming into this season, he would have received my vote for “which college running back can be the next De’Von Achane”, but despite similar volume to previous seasons, his efficiency has plummeted by nearly 5 yards per carry. Maybe it’s a lingering offseason injury that is keeping him from being as explosive, but without this explosiveness, his NFL stock is going to take a massive hit.
I cannot overstate how strongly I am beginning to believe in Fame Ijeboi as a future NFL player. His patience and vision at the line of scrimmage, followed by his ability to burst through open holes, have me intrigued, but perhaps the most enticing part of his game is his shiftiness despite being a thicker back. On multiple occasions, we have seen him use a dead leg or double stick to juke an oncoming defender. He also keeps his pad level low, which enables him to run through arm tackles and pick up yards after contact. He currently ranks as PFN’s 4th highest-graded running back through two weeks, behind only Jadan Baugh, Nate Sheppard, and Jamal Rule.
C2C Waiver Report: Post Week 2
We are getting to the point in the season where roles start to matter more than preseason expectations. That does not mean we chase every big box score. One long run can make an average day look great. Three touchdowns can hide a small role. What I want is opportunity we can actually use on the campus side; then I am looking at whether that player can gain value as a C2C asset.
This week’s board gives us a little bit of everything. We have a running back getting real SEC volume, a receiver who just commanded a massive part of his passing game, and a young quarterback with the type of rushing ability that can change a campus lineup quickly.
Every recommendation assumes a $100 C2C FAAB budget.
Overall Waiver Order
Daniel Hill, RB, Alabama: Add at 15 to 22 percent
Collin Dixon, WR, Illinois: Add at 12 to 18 percent
Michael Hawkins Jr., QB, West Virginia: Add at 12 to 18 percent
Na’eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding, WR, Maryland: Add at 8 to 13 percent
Jaden Craig, QB, TCU: Add at 7 to 12 percent
Matt Fuller, RB, South Carolina: Add at 6 to 10 percent
Rodney Fields Jr., RB, Kansas State: Add at 5 to 9 percent
Gio Lopez, QB, Wake Forest: Add at 4 to 8 percent
Joseph Williams, WR, Colorado: Add at 4 to 7 percent
JV Gibson, WR, Cincinnati: Add at 3 to 6 percent
Jaleel Skinner, TE, Louisville: Stash at 1 to 3 percent
Quarterbacks
Michael Hawkins Jr., West Virginia
Hawkins is the quarterback I want most from this group. He completed 5 of 7 passes for 155 yards and 2 touchdowns against UT Martin. He also ran 6 times for 96 yards and another 2 touchdowns. Obviously, we are not projecting 4 touchdowns every week. We also have to acknowledge that 71 of those 96 rushing yards came on one play. That does not change what interests me.
Hawkins is a redshirt sophomore starting at quarterback and giving us production with his legs. That creates another path to campus points when the passing volume is not there. Seven pass attempts are nowhere near enough for me to make a big statement about where his passing game is headed. I want to see him against better competition. For C2C, though, the age, starting opportunity, and rushing ability give Hawkins the best combination of campus runway and appreciation potential among these quarterbacks.
Next two games: Virginia on September 19 and Oklahoma State on September 26
My call: Spend 12 to 18 percent. If I am choosing between Hawkins and Craig for more than just the next matchup, I want Hawkins.
Devy Players of the Week: Week 2
Welcome back to Week 2 of Devy Players of the Week! The headline game was a clash of titans between Ohio State and Texas, with the Longhorns pulling off a stunning comeback. We have plenty of future NFL talent to break down, so let’s get into it.
Quarterbacks
Lincoln Kienholz (QB – Louisville)
16-22, 332 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs
6 attempts, 42 yards, 2 TDs
What a start to the season for Lincoln Kienholz. After racking up nearly 400 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns in Week 1 against Ole Miss, Kienholz posted an even better stat line in Week 2 against Villanova. We got another 374 yards and four total touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) from the Ohio State transfer in this one.
We went from wondering whether Kienholz could secure a starting gig to Kienholz playing some of the best football in the country through two weeks. He’s a guy to watch going forward; if he gains NFL buzz, Kienholz has the rushing upside to be an intriguing fantasy option.
Kamario Taylor (QB – Mississippi St.)
16-23, 227 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs
12 attempts, 91 yards, 0 TDs
Perhaps nobody in the country has seen a bigger surge in devy value than Kamario Taylor out of Mississippi State. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound monster has gotten off to a blazing start this year, dominating both as a passer and a rusher. We knew he was a Konami-Code player coming into this season, but what’s impressed me most is his tools as a passer. Taylor has a cannon for an arm, can zip it into tight windows, can throw on the run, and shows poise beyond his years in the pocket. He showed off the full repertoire this weekend, having his way with Minnesota Gophers’ defense from start to finish.
Speaking of years, did you know this kid is only 19? That’s right. Taylor is a true sophomore and isn’t even eligible to declare until 2028. We could be looking at the next Kyler Murray, only six inches taller and 25 pounds heavier. There’s a case to be made for Taylor as the devy QB1 overall now.
Devy/C2C Stashes: LSU Freshman Playmakers, Phillip Wright III and Corey Barber
However you feel about LSU head football coach and controversial enigma Lane Kiffin, one thing remains: the man can put points on the scoreboard. Across his 15-year career as a head coach, Kiffin’s teams have averaged 35.4 points per game, ranking in the top five among active FBS college football head coaches [minimum five seasons coached]. Exclude the numbers from Tennessee and USC; when he ran a slow, methodical, pro-style system, the average jumps to 37.1 PPG. At Florida Atlantic University [FAU], Kiffin began shifting to his version of the veer-and-shoot. Kiffin marries pro-style passing progression, pass protection rules, and tight-end-heavy packages with the up-tempo, spread-the-field, RPO-heavy scheme. Call it a pro-Spread hybrid built on the Veer-and-Shoot architecture. This offense creates space by splitting its wide receivers out to the literal sidelines and numbers, horizontally stretching defenses and making them defend every blade of grass, leaving gaps for the right play call to target and gash. Speedy weapons out wide are essential to executing this. When Kiffin arrived in Baton Rouge for the 2026 season, he completely overhauled the wide receiver room via the transfer portal. Yet, two unique names have emerged from the dust as stash opportunities for your Devy/C2C rosters.
