It's almost game time. Here's our take on the Top 5 matchups tomorrow and their fantasy impact:
Tennessee at Florida, 3:30 p.m. ET
A good ol' SEC battle gets the afternoon games started for football fans. Tennessee's Erik Ainge has certainly been impressive, while Florida's all-around game (led by Tim Tebow) looks sharp. Expect Ainge's production to drop here though.
Top Fantasy Player: Tim Tebow, QB, FLA
Also Watch For: Percy Harvin, WR, FLA (pic left)
Top Fantasy Dud: Austin Rogers, WR, TENN
Also Avoid: Arian Foster, RB, TENN
Notre Dame at Michigan, Noon ET
The big storyline here for fantasy owners isn't that both teams are 0-2...it's that Michigan QB Chad Henne is out and true freshman Ryan Mallett is getting his first collegiate start. Of course he's going against the other true freshman Jimmy Clausen, who stunk up the joint last week. Be prepared for an ugly game.
Top Fantasy Player: Mike Hart, RB, MICH
Also Watch For: Ummmmm. Hmmmmmm.
Top Fantasy Dud: Ryan Mallet, QB, MICH
Also Avoid: Jimmy Clausen, QB, ND
Louisville at Kentucky, 7:30 p.m. ET
A potential upset game if Louisville isn't careful. Kentucky's offense, led by Andre Woodson, will be the toughest test to date for the Cardinal.
Top Fantasy Player: Brian Brohm, QB, LOU
Also Watch For: Anthony Allen, RB, LOU
Top Fantasy Dud: Rafael Little, RB, UK
Also Avoid: Mario Urrutia, WR, LOU
Boston College at Georgia Tech, 8 p.m. ET
The earlier SEC game is followed up with this primetime ACC battle. Matt Ryan struggled last week and could do so again this week (but we think he'll rebound nicely). Georgia Tech is sill looking for consistent play from it's QB position.
Top Fantasy Player: Tashard Choice, RB, GT (pic left)
Also Watch For: Andre Callender, RB, BC
Top Fantasy Dud: James Johnson, WR, GT
Also Avoid: Kevin Challenger, WR, BC
USC at Nebraska, 8 p.m. ET
USC comes off a bye week for one of it's toughest games of the season...on the road. A lot of people are picking an upset for this game, but we don't think USC will lose until PAC 10 play begins. This would be a good week to bench your Nebraska players if you have the depth.
