Rivalry Week in College Football is unlike anything we see in other sports. It’s the time of the season when we throw records out the window and play for pride and so much more as the regular season comes to a close. With so much at stake, each team should be bringing their best to the table this Saturday. To navigate this pivotal week, we’ll continue to blend the insights gleaned from this year’s action with historical data, ensuring a balanced approach and, hopefully fantasy success on the week. So, without any further delay, let’s jump right in.
Saturday – Noah Fifita (Arizona) More Than 283.5 Passing Yards
Since coming in for Jayden de Laura at QB, Fifita has looked very impressive. Despite the fact that he’s only surpassed 284 passing yards in three of his seven starts, the fact that he’s done it against better secondaries than Arizona State (most impressively, against UCLA) gives me confidence that he can do so against the Sun Devils. Rivalry Week tends to make these types of games closer than they should be otherwise, and the fact that there’s a chance Jaden Rashada is back in for Arizona State means the Wildcats may have to throw the ball around a bit more to stay in front.
