thirdread.substack.com/p/wee…
💰 Buy-low of the week: Chris Durr Jr.
12 targets. 31.6% share. 9.1 points.
Maryland scored 3. That's an offense problem, not a Durr problem.
🏥 Injury notes:
Dante Moore — concussion from a targeting hit, CT/MRI clean. Raiola starts vs UCLA until he's cleared.
Jamal Rule — left with a leg injury. Mekhi Nelson is the stash.
Jaron Tibbs — hurt on the first drive. Don't read his 1 target.
❌ The misses:
Arch Manning — 5.9 in a 20-17 rock fight
Marcel Reed — 10/26, 106 yards, 0.9 pts
Jaden Craig — 310 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT
Not every miss is a process problem. Some offenses just don't show up.
👀 Carlos Hernandez: 55.6% target share.
Wake threw it 18 times. He got 10 of them. 9 catches, 194 yards, TD in the upset at Louisville.
Highest share I've recorded all season.
🔒 Michael Hawkins Jr.
Projected: 31.5
Actual: 31.6
28 carries, 3 rushing TDs. Threw for 132 and a pick and it didn't matter. Rich Rod has the most reliable goal-line back in the Big 12, and he plays QB.
🎯 The environment grid went 5-for-7 on overs in its best games.
And the low totals? Iowa-Michigan set at 38.5, finished at 39. Wisconsin-Penn State set at 44.5, finished at 44.
Vegas and the grid are telling you something. Listen.
📈 Wayshawn Parker, from 4.1 to 44.4 in one week.
Last week: 10 carries, 30 yards in a 33-0 blowout.
This week: 174 yards, 3 total TDs.
A blowout dud is not a demotion. Don't sell on game script.
🚨 51.7 fantasy points.
Last week everyone was worried about Jeremiah Smith after 85 yards in a blowout.
This week: 12 catches, 217 yards, 4 TDs. Best day in the country.
Mateer might legitimately be the worst starting QB I’ve ever seen, and I witnessed the D’wan Mathis era at UGA
