Best of the CFF 2025 Waiver Wire

I have managed College Fantasy Football teams for the past 18 years and always enjoy the bounty on the waiver wire every fall. Yet. I cannot remember a season in which so many elite CFF playmakers impacted the outcome of weekly matchups. An astute CFF coach could have built a championship team entirely with players plucked from the free agent pool. To memorialize the campaign, the top waiver wire pickups (less than 50% rostered) from weekly columns throughout the season are featured.

2025 Preseason All-American Sleepers

QB Fernando Mendoza, Indiana

Fantrax Overall ADP: 201

Over the past four seasons, coach Curt Cignetti has guided his teams to a 42-8 record at James Madison and Indiana. Last year, the Hoosiers earned an invite to the College Football Playoffs (CFP) before losing to Notre Dame. From a fantasy perspective, Cignetti’s quarterbacks have been very productive in the past three seasons: Todd Centeio, Jordan McCloud, and Kurtis Rourke all provided CFF managers with a cornucopia of production. In 2025, there is no reason to believe that Cignetti’s scheme will not produce yards and touchdowns in abundance again.

Fernando Mendoza exchanged the California sunshine for the Indiana snowstorms. At 6-5 and 225 pounds, Mendoza redshirted as a freshman and started 19 games for the Golden Bears. In 2024, he passed for 3,004 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed for 107 yards and two scores. As a transfer, he was the No. 3-ranked quarterback, and Cignetti identified Mendoza as the next leader for the Hoosiers’ offense. I have drafted Mendoza in six leagues this season as my third or fourth signal caller. His fantasy ceiling warrants a much higher ADP.

Notebook: “His arm talent is great. It’s one of the best in the nation. Anticipation-wise, it is going great. He was new to the offense (this spring), so sometimes things would be late, but for the most part, he has been looking really good. This summer, I could tell he has been putting the time in with the playbook and watching film…Fernando has been looking smooth,” teammate WR Elijah Sarratt stated regarding his new quarterback (iuhoosiers.com).

2025 FPPG: 30.2

Final Position Ranking: CFF QB8

Week 0

RB Jai’den Thomas, UNLV

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 43%

Let's be real: Jai’den Thomas will not average 14.7 yards per carry throughout the season. The offensive line blasted wide-open holes against Idaho State (an FCS opponent), and Thomas took advantage of the opportunities, scampering for 147 yards and three scores. The Rebels play Sam Houston next, and Thomas could be a viable option this week and down the road.

2025 FPPG: 20.6

Final Position Ranking: CFF RB18 

Week 1

QB Gunner Stockton, Georgia

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 29%

My grandmother always told my three brothers and me that patience was a virtue when we would get too excited about something. It is clear that Gunner Stockton has embraced my grandma’s axiom, and after three seasons as a backup, he is prepared to take over the controls of the Bulldogs’ offense. Against Marshall, Stockton gained 73 yards on 10 carries and passed for 190 yards on 14 completions with four total touchdowns: two rushing and two passing.

A four-star recruit in Georgia, Stockton was the No. 4 dual-threat prospect at quarterback and was named the 2021 Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year. In recent years, Georgia quarterbacks—Carson Beck, Stetson Bennett, and Jake Fromm—never reached CFF All-American status. Stockton’s skill set differs from his predecessors, and the range of outcomes includes a Top 24 finish among CFF signal callers. 

2025 FPPG: 25.8

Final Position Ranking: CFF QB31

RB Kewan Lacy, Mississippi

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 25%

On some of my CFF rosters, I lost RB Jam Miller in the backfield and needed a replacement on the waiver wire. On the Rookie Big Board CFF weekly preview show, I pinpointed Kewan Lacy as a sleeper. I inserted Lacy into two lineups and placed him on DFS rosters. The Rebels’ runner exceeded expectations against Georgia State, crossing the century mark on 16 attempts and scoring three times. Unfortunately, he did not collect a target, which may limit his fantasy upside in PPR-scoring formats.

A sophomore, Lacy earned four stars from recruiting services and attended Missouri for one semester, graduating from high school in 2024. Subsequently, he transferred to Mississippi and spent the 2025 spring semester on campus. The 5-11 and 210-pound Texan won the job in training camp and has been named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list. If still available on the waiver wire, Lacy is clearly a top target this week.

2025 FPPG: 24.0

Final Position Ranking: CFF RB5

Week 2

QB Brad Jackson, Texas State

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 28%

Throughout the offseason, I sought an answer to who would lead coach G.J. Kinne’s offense. The Bobcats added two quarterbacks in the transfer portal to compete for the job with redshirt freshman Brad Johnson, who remained on the bench behind Jordan McCloud last season. Jackson won the job by the end of camp and has rewarded Kinne with his decision.

Jackson led Texas State to an incredible 43-36 victory over UTSA on Saturday while producing over 30 Fantasy Points (FPs) for the second consecutive game. After two games, the Bobcats’ leader is CFF QB16, throwing five aerial strikes and scoring twice on the ground. At 6-0 and 200 pounds, he has completed over 65% of his passes for 500 yards and scampered for 82 yards on 22 carries. In the next two weeks, Texas State travels to Arizona State and hosts Nicholls (FCS) before the bye week. Afterwards, the Bobcats commence with their Sun Belt conference schedule.

2025 FPPG: 32.9

Final Position Ranking: CFF QB4

RB J’Mari Taylor, Virginia

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 12%

Late in CFF best ball drafts over the summer, I selected senior running back Harrison Waylee a bunch of times, hoping to hit a grand slam. Unfortunately, I struck out instead. Over the first two weeks, it is clearly J’Mari Taylor’s backfield and the Cavaliers’ runner to roster. He is CFF RB8 after scampering for 182 yards on 27 attempts with five—yes, five—rushing touchdowns in two games. 

Before joining Virginia, the graduate student rambled for North Carolina Central (FCS) from 2020 to 24. Last year, Taylor scampered for 1,146 yards, which was the fourth-best in NCCU history. He finished his Eagles' tenure as the tenth leading rusher with 1,882 yards. According to PFF, he earned the No. 20 grade (86.5) among FCS runners, while breaking 45 tackles and rushing for 700 yards after contact. 

At 5-9 and 204 pounds, Taylor packs a punch with a low center of gravity and does not go down easily. He has gained 170 yards after contact, averaging 6.3 yards after contact, and has secured nine first downs for the Cavaliers. He also leads the backfield in snaps and rushing attempts. Do not wait to see more: Put a waiver wire claim in for the Virginia ball carrier immediately. 

2025 FPPG: 20.9

Final Position Ranking: CFF RB8

WR Skyler Bell, UConn

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 23%

I tend to shy away from writing about UConn players for two reasons: I am a Huskies fan, and for years, the offense malfunctioned, failing to produce impactful fantasy players. Yet, it is clear that the UConn offense is competent in 2025, and Skyler Bell is the alpha in the passing game.

In the first two weeks, Bell has garnered 22 targets after earning 17 against Syracuse. With the game on the line in the fourth quarter, the Huskies’ playmaker rose to the occasion with a clutch 27-yard catch on 4th and 10 to keep the game-tying FG drive alive. After the big catch, Bell caught a nine- and 16-yard pass to put the Huskies in FG range. At the end of the day, he recorded 11 catches for 105 yards, scoring 21.5 FPs, and is CFF WR8 for the season.

Examining advanced PFF stats, the Huskies are utilizing Bell in creative ways to get him the ball. He has lined up in the slot 41.9% of the time and on the outside 52.4% of his snaps for UConn. The senior playmaker has recorded an 11.7 aDOT and averaged 16 yards per catch. There is no reason that Bell is on less than 50% of rosters before Week 3 kicks off.

2025 FPPG: 25.5

Final Position Ranking: CFF WR1

WR Hank Beatty, Illinois

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 9%

Coach Bret Bielema and the Illinois passing game have produced improbable CFF pass-catchers over the past two years: Isaiah Williams and Pat Bryant. Despite a big offensive line and strong ground game, the Illini pepper their alpha receiver, and I have been seeking that player all summer. While watching the Illinois-Duke game, I noticed the heavy usage of Hank Beatty and wanted to conduct a deeper analysis.

Beatty is a 5-11 and 185-pound senior in his fifth year on campus. A special team contributor, he has returned four kicks for 133 yards and a touchdown (more value in SFB Tadpole leagues for sure) in the first two games of the campaign. Scanning advanced stats on PFF, he is the No. 1 graded receiver in the nation, and he is currently CFF WR21 with 13 receptions on 14 targets for 236 yards, averaging 18.2 ypc. The senior also scored a 25-yard rushing TD last week. When a coaching staff devises ways to get the ball into a player’s hands, it is a key indicator of his skills and abilities. Beatty is a nice addition to CFF rosters this week.

2025 FPPG: 15.2

Final Position Ranking: CFF WR41

Week 3

QB Joey Aguilar, Tennessee

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 33%

Sometimes decisions have an extraordinary way of working out in life. In the spring, former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava sought more NIL money from the program and decided to leave the school, signing with UCLA. Joey Aguilar, formerly at Appalachian State, signed with the Bruins after the 2024 campaign, but coach DeShaun Foster wanted Iamaleava behind center. Once again, Aguilar entered the portal, and this time, he landed in Tennessee.

Despite a tough loss to Georgia last week, the Volunteers' coaching staff and faithful fans could not be happier. Against the Bulldogs, Aguilar scored a season-best 44 FPs, passing for 371 yards and four touchdowns while adding a score on the ground. For the season, he has thrown for 906 yards and posted a 9:2 TD:INT Ratio. He is CFF QB12 after three weeks and clearly should no longer remain on the waiver wire. Ironically, the Bruins are 0-3 and have just fired Foster, while the Volunteers are 2-1 with the sixth-ranked offense in the nation, led by Aguilar, which is churning out 568 yards and 52.7 points per game.

2025 FPPG: 25.8

Final Position Ranking: CFF QB29

QB Trinidad Chambliss, Mississippi

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 1%

I was so excited to watch the Arkansas-Mississippi game to conclude my CFF Saturday. Earlier in the day, I read that Austin Simmons would not start and Trinidad Chambliss would instead. I did some quick research and wanted to get a look at the Rebels’ backup signal caller…needless to say, he exceeded all expectations and lived up to his billing in the game.

A senior, Chambliss arrived on the Ole Miss campus after playing for three years at Ferris State, a Division II program. As a member of the Bulldogs last year, he passed for over 3,200 yards and 26 touchdowns and sprinted for over 1,000 yards and 25 scores. He led Ferris State to a third national title and finished third in the Harlon Hill Trophy (Division II Player of the Year award) voting. In the first two games this season, Chambliss saw a little action for the Rebels.

On Saturday, the 6-0 and 200-pound playmaker remained poised and displayed leadership skills while making numerous big plays to lead Mississippi to a 41-35 victory. He threw for 353 yards and scampered for 62 with three total touchdowns, producing 38.3 FPs. Of course, CFF coaches with Simmons must prioritize Chambliss on the waiver wire: He is far too valuable as a backup if Simmons misses any more contests.

2025 FPPG: 26.1

Final Position Ranking: CFF QB27

WR Omar Cooper, Jr., Indiana

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 10%

Over 37 years of playing fantasy sports, I have seen many unknown players produce huge outings. Afterwards, CFF diehards must assess if it is a one-week wonder or a breakout performance. The answer to the query has varied. Nevertheless, I prefer to jump on the player immediately and will pivot shortly if he does not continue to produce fantasy points.

I am a believer in Coach Curt Cignetti’s offensive scheme for CFF production, and Omar Cooper stood out on the stat sheet against Indiana State (FCS program). He earned 10 targets—catching all—for 207 yards and four scores. He racked up 54.7 FPs and now leads the Hoosiers in nearly every receiving category with 13 catches for 299 yards, averaging 23 ypc., and four touchdowns. The week before against Kennesaw State, he scored on a 75-yard run, which tied for the longest touchdown run in school history. 

Last year, Cooper averaged 21.2 ypc on 28 receptions for 594 yards and seven touchdowns. At 6-0 and 204 pounds, the redshirt junior was a four-star recruit by Rivals in high school and ranked as the No. 22 receiver in the nation. Some players need time to develop and master the nuances of the game, and Cooper appears to be blossoming in Cignetti’s offense. I trust that Saturday’s outing foreshadows future fantasy success for the Hoosiers’ receiver.

2025 FPPG: 18.4

Final Position Ranking: CFF WR12

Week 5

RB Raleek Brown, Arizona State

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 46%

I stayed up far too late on Friday night watching the TCU-Arizona State game. I wanted to scout QB Sam Leavitt, WR Jordan Tyson, and QB Josh Hoover. Throughout the evening, Raleek Brown also roused my interest. He grossed 21 carries for the second consecutive week and dashed for 134 yards and corralled all nine targets for 50 yards, scoring 27.4 FPs without reaching the end zone.

In 2022, Brown was the No. 42 overall prospect in the nation and signed with USC. He played two seasons in Los Angeles, and after a promising freshman campaign, the Trojans’ coaching staff wanted Brown to move to receiver. He took a redshirt in 2023 and subsequently entered the transfer portal, with the intention of signing with a program that would allow him to return to running back. The Sun Devils’ staff committed to the backfield, and Brown is rewarding the promise made to him.

In the second game of the year, Brown earned a career-high (at the time) of 18 attempts against Mississippi State and gained 110 yards. The following week, the former Trojan rushed for 144 versus Texas State. For the season, Brown has scampered for 506 yards, averaging 6.6 ypc, recorded 19 catches for 107 yards, and scored twice. The Sun Devils have a bye this week. Nevertheless, Brown should not be available in over 50% of CFF leagues at this point in the season. 

2025 FPPG: 17.3

Final Position Ranking: CFF RB26

WR Cortez Braham, Memphis

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 3%

Despite changing coaches, Memphis has consistently been among the top programs in producing CFF All-Americans over the past decade. Once again, the Tigers are flying high at 5-0 and have one of the more electric offenses in the nation, averaging 448 ypg and 39.6 ppg. It is clear that Cortez Braham has become the go-to guy in the passing game and should be scooped up immediately on the waiver wire this week.

Coming out of high school, Braham enrolled at Hutchinson Community College (JUCO) and played three seasons for the Blue Dragons. Afterwards, he travelled to West Virginia for two years (2022 & 2023) and suited up with Brendon Lewis at Nevada last year. As a member of the Wolf Pack, he concluded the campaign with 56 receptions for 724 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

In 2025, the seventh-year player has jelled with Lewis in the Tigers’ aerial assault. He is CFF WR24 for the season with 22 catches for 382 yards and four scores while averaging 17.4 ypc. In the past two weeks, he has secured 13 of 19 targets for 292 yards and three touchdowns, accumulating 53.9 FPs. Memphis hosts Tulsa this week before the bye and enjoys tempting matchups against UAB and South Florida afterwards. Braham will continue to soar with Lewis throwing the ball.

2025 FPPG: 16.7

Final Position Ranking: CFFWR26

RB Caleb Hawkins, North Texas

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 10%

I picked up Caleb Hawkins on four teams last week—regretting that I started the Mean Green runner on only two in the Flex position. He smashed against South Alabama with 218 yards from scrimmage on 20 touches. He also scored three times (2 rushing and one receiving) and totalled 40.8 FPs. In the past two weeks, Hawkins averaged 8.2 ypc and reached the promised land seven times. 

Coming out of high school last year, Hawkins was a three-star recruit who played on both sides of the ball. As a senior, he accumulated 1,602 rushing yards on 204 carries with 28 touchdowns and corralled 17 passes for 407 yards and three scores. On defense, he logged 90 tackles, four interceptions, and three forced fumbles. 

At 6-2 and 200 pounds, Hawkins excels between the numbers with good vision, quick feet, and nice contact balance. He is clearly too talented in this system to remain on the waiver wire any longer. The North Texas team—currently undefeated—has a fantasy-friendly schedule in the American Conference after the upcoming bye week.

2025 FPPG: 30.4

Final Position Ranking: CFF RB1

Week 6

QB Bear Bachmeier, BYU

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 23%

The Cougars’ quarterback position flummoxed CFF diehards, including me, throughout the summer. Jake Retzlaff left the BYU program after the possibility of a seven-game suspension for violating the school’s honor code. Who would start in Provo, Utah? The depth chart did not look promising from a fantasy perspective, and CFF fanatics (myself as well) avoided the Cougars’ quarterbacks.

When I heard that the younger Bachmeier won the job, flashbacks to 2019 came to mind, when his older brother, Hank, got the nod for Boise State and upset Florida State on the road as a true freshman to kick off his college career. As a prospect last fall, Bear was a four-star recruit and ranked as the No. 11 QB in the nation. In high school, he amassed 6,810 passing yards with 59 touchdowns and dashed for 1,724 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns. Last spring, he enrolled at Stanford and participated in Cardinal practices before transferring to BYU. 

During training camp, Bear Backmeier won the starting assignment to open the campaign. Against West Virginia last Friday, the freshman threw for a season-high 351 yards and rushed for 43 yards, totaling two touchdowns: one by air and one on the ground. In five games for the undefeated Cougars, he has exceeded 30 Fantasy Points (FPs) three times and produced 26.9 and 15.4 in the other two games. 

Picking Bachmeier up in a 16-team league with 30 players per roster in early September, I have kept an eye on the new signal caller at BYU. With better options on my roster, I have not started him. But he is clearly worth stashing in fantasy leagues. Looking ahead to Weeks 12-14, the Cougars have attractive matchups against TCU, Cincinnati, and UCF in the CFF playoffs.

2025 FPPG: 25.7

Final Position Ranking: CFF QB32

QB Mason Heintschel, Pittsburgh 

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 5% 

Rumors indicated that Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi was unhappy with quarterback Eli Holstein's performance, and Narduzzi finally benched the incumbent starter on Saturday. Mason Heintschel, a true freshman, called signals for the Panthers, and the staff did not even try to protect and/or hide their new triggerman. He attempted 41 passes and completed 30 for 323 yards and four touchdowns, producing 39.7 FPs, in the 48-7 dismantling of Boston College.

At 6-2 and 215 pounds, Heintschel was raised in an athletic family: His father played at Michigan (1990-93), and his sister played soccer at Ball State (2015-18). An Ohioan, he started for three seasons in high school, passing for over 7,322 yards and 79 touchdowns. As a senior, Heintschel completed almost 70% of his throws for 2,444 yards and 35 touchdowns and scampered for 770 yards and six scores. A three-star recruit, he arrived on the Pittsburgh campus last January and has impressed the coaching staff ever since. If a CFF coach needs a bye-week replacement, Heintschel might be worthy of getting a promotion.

2025 FPPG: 21.7

Final Position Ranking: CFF QB92

RB Nate Sheppard, Duke

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 28%

As a UConn hoops fan, I rank Duke among the Huskies’ despised opponents. On the gridiron, the two programs have met only 4 times, split the series 2-2, and there is no animosity between the fans. Neither school is known for its football programs and has had limited success. Nevertheless, both the Huskies and Blue Devils roll out productive offenses in 2025: UConn is ranked 17th in Total Offense (470 ypg. & 37 ppg.), and Duke is ranked 21st in Total Offense (467 ypg. & 36.5 ppg.). 

Of course, both teams are providing fantasy production every week, and Duke RB Nate Sheppard should no longer be sitting on the waiver wire. I went to bed around 11 PM on Saturday, convinced that I would lose an essential game in the CFF King’s Classic League: I desperately needed a victory to stay alive in the playoff hunt. I was down by about 20 points, with Nate Sheppard as the only player left in the lineup.

When I woke, I couldn't believe the results—I had won by only 0.4 points. Sheppard rambled for 91 yards and two touchdowns, scoring 22.7 FPs. Over the past four games, the freshman ball carrier has assumed the lead role in the Blue Devils’ backfield. He has raced for 395 yards, averaging 8.6 yards per carry (ypc), and crossed the finish line four times. Since his emergence, he has been the CFF RB4 since September 9, scoring 89.5 FPs. As a pass catcher, Sheppard provides some utility with 14 receptions for 102 yards and a score on the season.

At 5-10 and 195 pounds, the freshman enrolled at Duke last January after earning four letters in high school. In Louisiana, he was ranked No. 19 and graded as a three-star prospect. He also played on the hardwood and ran track and field, qualifying for regional finals three times in the 100m dash. There will be plenty of offensive fireworks by the Blue Devils for the remainder of the year, and Sheppard will continue to soar. 

2025 FPPG: 16.7

Final Position Ranking: CFF RB30

Week 7

RB King Miller, USC 

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 2%

I could not believe my luck Saturday night when star running back Waymond Jordan went down with an injury. He is expected to miss at least four weeks, according to reports from Los Angeles. Jordan was in my starting lineup on five CFF teams, and his injury cost me two victories by less than five points. To compound the heartbreak, I had Desmond Reid on the bench, and his 40 FPs would have helped me win one of the matchups. Fantasy sports can be heartbreaking at times. Oh, well.

Watching my Wolverines lose, I couldn't help but notice King Miller stomping on the Michigan run defense. The walk-on runner rambled for 158 yards and a touchdown. With breakaway speed, Miller produced 49- and 47-yard runs in the second half to help the Trojans matriculate the ball into the red zone. 

Upon graduating from high school, Miller did not receive any scholarship offers. He walked onto the Trojans last year but did not see any action. A redshirt freshman, he earned only 11 carries for 152 yards, averaging 13.8 ypc, in the first four games of the season. At 6-0 and 210 pounds, King is clearly the primary pick-up for any CFF diehard with Jordan on their roster.

Final CFF Ranking: CFF RB69

WR Camden Brown, Georgia Southern

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 30%

There are not many better ways to spend a work night in the fall than sitting down at 7 PM and watching a college football doubleheader. Last Thursday, CFF fans could enjoy East Carolina-Tulane and Southern Mississippi-Georgia Southern on a split-screen TV. I had reached College Football Nirvana after four long days in the classroom.

Georgia Southern fell behind by 21 points in the third quarter and made a dramatic comeback before falling short 38-35. While watching, there was no question that Camden Brown was the most physically imposing playmaker on the Panthers. At 6-2 and 200 pounds, the former Auburn receiver snatched 12 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown, which added up to a season-high 33.8 FPs. Brown has been smoking hot this season: He has produced double-digit FPs in every game, and three times scored over 22 FPs. The senior playmaker has recorded 32 catches for 550 yards and six touchdowns this year.

At Auburn, Brown was caught in a depth chart trap and did not appear to have an avenue to gridiron success in 2025. After three seasons on campus, he entered the portal and signed with Georgia Southern. As a Tiger, he made 26 receptions, 289 receiving yards, and three scores. The senior has the tools and size to dominate Sun Belt Conference defenders, and coach Clay Helton’s team will continue to sling the pigskin. Grab Brown for the stretch run this week.

2025 FPPG: 21.0

Final Position Ranking: CFF WR7

Week 8

QB Joe Fagnano, UConn

Fantrax Rostership on Waiver Wire: 7%

It's a fantasy dream come true to see UConn rise to a Top 20 offense in the nation. The Huskies are 16th in Total Offense, averaging 468 yards per game, and 8th in scoring, averaging 37.1 points per game. The offense, led by Joe Fagnano, employs a terrific trio that produces fantasy points in abundance. 

Fagnano's performance against Boston College on Saturday was nothing short of spectacular. He finished the week as CFF QB4 with 46.9 FPs, tossing four touchdowns, passing for 362 yards, and scoring once on the ground. What's truly remarkable is his impeccable 15-0 TD:INT Ratio, having not thrown an interception in 226 attempts. His completion rate of 68.1% for 1,918 passing yards is equally impressive. 

Before enrolling at UConn, Fagnano played four seasons at Maine (2019-22) and three campaigns under the guidance of current Huskies’ Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator Nick Charlton. In 2019, he was named Maine’s Offensive Rookie of the Year. In 2022, he posted career-bests in passing yards (2,250) and completions (209). Looking ahead, UConn’s schedule is not daunting with Rice, UAB, Air Force, and Florida Atlantic. The Huskies’ offense should continue to dominate behind Fagnano, setting the stage for an exciting end-of-the-season run.

In 2025, Fagnano is CFF QB28 with three games over 30 FPs after logging 85.5 FPs in the last two weeks. The question remains: Why is Fagnano still available on so many waiver wires? His fantasy potential is immense, and he could be the game-changer CFF diehards need.
