WHAT A WEEK... Winners & Losers CFB Week 7 Stock Report

Today, we break down the biggest winners and losers from college football week number seven. If you guys are new, feel free to like, comment, subscribe. We're going to be splitting this into four different sections. This is the beginning of section number one and two, which is the stock up, where we have these superstars of the week and then the stars of the week. Then, of course, we'll be going into a section which is called stock down, which is going to be the duds of the week and the stock down players, the losers of the week. Let's start out with our studs of the week, or excuse me, our superstars of the week. In no particular order, we are starting out with Jordan Ross making his second appearance on this. Week number one was his first. Week number seven is his second edge rusher out of LSU. Big fan of Jordan Ross. He is a very talented edge rusher. He's been lighting it up there for LSU across from Prince William Mielin. I'm surprised they haven't been as consistent, but they've been dominant nonetheless. This past week, he ended up having six recorded pressures, three of them going for sacks and four defensive stops, including one forced fumble. Incredible performance there. Very well-rounded edge rusher, in my opinion, a day two player in the upcoming draft. Tons of talent come from Tennessee this year. Ends up wrapping it up and being able to put it all together for the Tigers. Next, we have Matthew Fobbs-White, edge rusher out of Virginia. I saw this player in person. I can't lie, didn't really pop out to me when I was watching, but granted, you know, I have SMU media credentials. It didn't necessarily seem like the offense was operating in a way that would be really translatable. So take these numbers with a pinch of salt. He ended up having 13 pressures this week, one of them going for a sack and two defensive stops. I will say, though, I don't want to dumb down his performance. He's still a superstar of the week. It is not easy to get anywhere near 13 pressures, let alone above 10, let alone above 8. 8 automatically pretty much puts you on this list regardless. Matthew Fobbs-White getting 13 versus an extremely talented offense, and you have P.J. Williams playing the right tackle spot, so I guess he is working on a backup left, maybe is a reason why, but it still is worth mentioning that he had a fantastic game in a game that his team ended up losing for him. We'll talk about Bo Pribula later in this episode. Indiana's coming off a very narrow loss to Ohio State, and I think that's going to leave a sour taste in their mouth. This coming week, they are playing Michigan, who is having a quarterback debacle, and I think it is a time for an easy victory. If we check it out over on Kalshi, Michigan has a 29% chance to win this game, which I think is ludicrously high. and this is a peer-to-peer market which is why you can take advantage of these odds I think this is a perfect opportunity to select Indiana to win this game if you did put $25 down on this position which if you use the code HIMS or make it easy click the link in the description you'll get your $25 back into your account instantly but on top of that you'll get 30 additional dollars because of my boys over at Kalshi giving us a limited time deal but that ends up giving you $33.60 cents if you end up seeing Indiana win. And let's just say Michigan pulls off the impossible. You end up getting $30 net positive. So if you do the math and Indiana takes the W for $25 in, you end up getting $33.60 plus $55. Quick maths, that's roughly $90. That's a great return for something that seems pretty dang probable. And if all else fails, you still get $30. So go and check it out. Again, Kalshi is peer-to-peer markets, so the opinions of people are what drive these factors. If the opinions change, you'll see the numbers change. If you want to take advantage of it, go check it out right now. Let's continue on. Gio Lopez, quarterback for the Demon Deacons. He's been fantastic on a red-hot streak, and I pray to God it continues when they end up coming to SMU in a month, because I'm excited to see him in person. But this past week, in a dominant performance he had 23 throws completed 16 for 268 yards four touchdowns and zero interceptions on top of that those were including five big time throws and zero turnover worthy plays and he had eight carries for 51 yards in this tackle that number will get you on this list but there is some extra context that's needed here this is versus Cal and Cal has Kingston Lopa who in my opinion is a top 10 level player he came back he played the full game he might be on this list actually i think he's on the losers list for people who are over on patreon if you do want to see the full list by the way it's over 120 players so go and check it out um it's over there on the Patreon along with all my evals and the big board all for five bucks a month but regardless uh yeah Kingston Lopa he was back played a full game Isaiah Crosby the other safety really good player he ended up having not so great of a game and then Daniel Harris who's a really solid corner went up against a really good secondary didn't throw a single turnover worthy play that's incredible like honestly an incredible performance so uh Wake Forest has been red hot they're going to continue to do so and I mean I'm excited to see him whenever I can making his second appearance also from week number one with Jordan Ross is Malachi Tony wide receiver out of Miami he ended up in a very very close multi-overtime matchup came away with a game-changing 11 receptions on 11 targets for 154 yards and two touchdowns on the through the air and two carries for 31 yards on the ground with a missed tackle force on the ground three after his catches through the air really good performance from Malachi Tony what i love the most is the fact that he subtly made dudes of miss in open field you would see him split defenders constantly and it was just next level vision and next level explosiveness to break angles and to be able to break ankles as well love Malachi Tony he is still an absolute superstar excited to see him in the upcoming class next we have Umari Hatcher wide receiver for Syracuse uh he's a honestly you look at the stat line he hasn't really done much but this week he was like let me just do something that most players in college football can't do he ended up having 15 targets for 13 receptions and 224 yards in a touchdown is this Jeremiah Smith but you know 40 pounds lighter he's six foot three 200 or 185 pounds you can see it i tried to find like the most menacing image of him and still looks a little twiggy but you know what that doesn't really matter he's still a really really productive player made a big impact on this past week so got to give a shout out to Umari Hatcher next we have Michael Hawkins Jr a quarterback at West Virginia he has been on this list several times this is his first appearance on the superstars because most of the time he has a ton of big time throws no turn worthy plays or maybe like one or two but he always has like a 50 completion percentage in a three-point victory so it's not something where you can take your foot off the gas pedal he ended up throwing 33 passes for 25 completions 464 yards three touchdowns zero interceptions two big time throws zero turnover the plays along with that he had 23 carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns on the ground with five missed tackles forced so not a single turnover not a single turnover worthy play and he put up nearly 600 yards total and five touchdowns total this guy's been killing it it honestly is surprising that he's done so well but i mean i also don't believe that six foot one 205 number i mean like this guy feels like 511 195 maybe 200 but regardless he's been balling out it's one of those guys where you look at college production not necessarily something you trust to be in the NFL but my god is he enjoyable to watch week in week out this guy is absolutely dynamite on Saturdays next we have our stock up players of the week or the winners of the week because we got our superstars now we got our stars starting with Deshaun Bishop running back out of Tennessee if you guys are on the Patreon again five bucks a month you get it was over 120 players this week normally it's around 80 to 100 this week I was like it was just too many games too many players to note so you guys get a lot more value over there in the Patreon than you are necessarily just hanging out here but uh Deshaun Bishop everybody who is has an italicized and bolded font those are superstar candidates but Deshaun Bishop 32 carries for 159 yards and two touchdowns on the ground 13 a missed tackles forced along with three carries on three receptions for 16 yards versus Alabama in a spanking to Alabama Deshaun Bishop put up more points than the whole entire Alabama team did so incredible performance there again wanted to put him in the superstars but i limit myself to six and i am not going to be pushing past that because you guys know i'll be putting it eight nine ten eleven twelve superstars of the week and i just can't do that gotta have some value for my folks over on the Patreon but Amari Furrell as well, defensive back out of Indiana, he had himself a week granted some of this was based off of you know some poor throws here and there not necessarily his pure coverage but he had a defensive stop, was targeted five times along only one reception for seven yards and had two interceptions and a pass breakup on one toe tap away from beating Ohio State. He's been a very reliable defensive back for a long time, so I'm perfectly happy with giving him his flowers. A.J. Harris, that's one where I might have a little bit more personal bias against him, but Ashlyn Barker, defensive back out of Florida State, again, going to almost triple overtime versus Miami is a feat in itself, but Ashlyn Barker ended up getting a defensive stop and he was targeted twice only allowed one reception I forget for how many yards I forgot to note that down but he had an interception and two pass breakups that's awesome like really really good performance so I mean a lot of these guys ended up buckling their helmets got their nuts in order and ended up kicking some ass uh really good to see some good defensive back play there then we have Koron Hayward edge rusher from TCU he ended up having five pressures this week three of them converted to sacks along with six defensive stops and a forced fumble technically a better stat line than our boy Jordan Ross but uh Jordan Ross had a little bit more of an important game in my opinion but uh Koron Hayward again got to give shout outs to these smaller school guys the whole entire reason i do this series is to be able to find guys who continue week after week making impacts and those are the guys who usually end up being surprise winners in the NFL and guys i should be end up end up watching even when other people are Will James corner out of Houston is on this list as well he had a fantastic week Jerrod Mayo if i'm not mistaken because i did not find him and again there's a chance that i just was an idiot and missed it but i don't think Jerrod Mayo played this week versus Oklahoma State uh Will James ended up doing it and he ended up balling out he ended up having four targets sent his way did not allow a single reception and had an interception and two pass breakups uh he was graded as a super superstar possible player really really good play by Will James and now he's on a lot of people's radar all right this is not the first time this player's been on this list if i'm not mistaken because i've written i've had to copy and paste this dude's name if you guys know i type everybody's name until like i just don't know how to say it because copying and pasting and sometimes it's a little bit funky in terms of the format so i'm like let's just not let's reduce the variables here and you know similar how you write stuff you remember it better i like to be able to remember when i put guys on list but McKith Humphrey Grace edge rusher at Kentucky i have copy and pasted his name before maybe it wasn't somebody who was on the actual video but he has been on the winners and losers list for the folks on Patreon he ended up having eight pressures this past week two of them being sacks and had two defensive stops really strong performances for Kentucky recently they've been doing a great job so shout out to Kentucky then we have Dominic Barry tight end at Wake Forest, another superstar graded player. The last one was Jeremiah Marcellin who is next. So all these players are considered possible for that superstar list, but, uh, Barry ended up having four targets for four receptions, 102 yards and three touchdowns. You know, he's laughed Cal scoring three times because Cal put up, I think seven points and Barry put up three touchdowns on his own. So first off over a hundred yards for a tight end, I absolutely put them on this list, put them on the video, but on top of that, getting three touchdowns, like I had to put him or Gio Lopez on there. Maybe in the future I could end up kind of squeezing somebody else in there, but you know, uh, yeah, Dominic Barry, incredible performance there. Then we have Jeremiah Marcel. And like I just talked about linebacker out of Pitt, a manufacturing facility for a really good linebacker play. He ended up having three pressures and one sack and then seven defensive stops. so made a pass rush impact made a run defense impact had two targets his way that allowed two receptions for 12 yards but really good performance again making an impact against the ground game making impact as a pass rusher like to see it and not getting used and abused through the air then we have Colin Simmons edge rusher out of Texas sadly he ended up being hurt and couldn't end up finishing the game but in the time that he was on the field for i think it was like 52 snaps he ended up having five pressures one of those being a sack a beautiful one as well i think he feigned for the uh for the long arm ended up going for the ghost move beautiful well executed come from wide nine um tight end ended up releasing not chipping but five defensive stops as well like that's awesome to see i do want to i pray that he's healthy we'll see what the actual timetable is but uh really strong performance there for Colin Simmons then i pulled a little bit of a sneaky one so you guys got a little bit more value uh we got the Georgia linebackers Chris Cole and Raylan Wilson snuck on here i had a hard time squeezing out the last player and i was like you know i can actually just loop these two together for you guys some extra value if you will, but Chris Cole monster day, monster day I think 10 tackles, five pressures, six defensive stops was targeted one time for one reception, eight yards. Even in the loss he still did a phenomenal job, as did Raylan Wilson who he had six pressures one one of them becoming a sack by the way, and five defensive stops he was targeted two times, allowed two receptions for 26 yards so both these players amounted for, and I think, 10 solo tackles for Raylan Wilson if I remember correctly, it's like you're looking at 11 pressures and 11 defensive stops between the two, and they're linebackers, like they shouldn't be doing 11 pressures but um, both of those guys are absolute studs, legit NFL players. I'm excited to see maybe when I do my Raylan Wilson full eval where I end up landing on him, but right now I'm, I'm guessing it's gonna be a day two pick. Now we finish off our studs of the week or our winners of the week I should say, Marquise Lightfoot edge out of Miami he had a really strong day, he had eight pressures but no defensive stops, so you know it's still good gotta give him credit where credit's due. Byron Brown, I could not have this list without an Auburn player on this list, there were a lot of factors in there, blocked field goal, like not necessarily playing the best or like having a bad fumble for fumble luck I should say for Stockton like I was thinking oh Sigler, and then I saw that it wasn't Sigler who ended up forcing the fumble but Byron Brown man I mean he's not the best passer in the world, right? He had 26 throws, 15 completions for 150 and a touchdown no interceptions one big time throw zero turnover worthy plays but his work on the ground was awesome, 22 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown with seven missed tackles forced, it's a big reason why they were able to win, like he ends up continuing and extending drives and making things possible, big fan of how he ended up playing this past week KJ Duff continues to be on here, another highlight reel stud play on 16 targets, nine receptions for 113 yards and two touchdowns but again Duff has been making circus catches, do I think it translates to the NFL, not necessarily, again one feet versus two feet is a big difference but at the same time I can't knock him for playing the game that he's supposed to be playing, it just does make it a lot more difficult to say hey, it directly translates to be when there's a whole new element that in those some of those catches it's impossible for him to do Charlie Becker how could I not include him, he was absolutely integral to Indiana even having a chance to win this game, he ended up having 17 targets sent his way for nine receptions and 165 yards versus one of the best defenses in the country, Ohio State, they were literally one toe away from being able to be in and beating Ohio State, so really good performance there for Becker, honestly good performance for Hoover as well, at the end he was very underwhelming but ended up putting his onions in and put his nuts on the table and had a really strong last drive and you know again couple like maybe a foot difference between being able to have one of the most awesome comeback drives kind of like Arch Manning did versus you know leaving with your head down regardless, Cole Tab one of my favorite running backs in the whole country out of Cincinnati, I saw him in person last year at when Stanford came to play SMU, he was jaw-dropping when I saw him then, he's been great for Cincinnati this year 16 carries 124 yards and two touchdowns on the ground with six missed tackles forced had four targets got four receptions for 51 additional yards and a touchdown through the air So grand total, that is 20 touches, 175 yards, and three touchdowns. Colt Tapp, write his name down if you haven't already. He is an awesome, and I mean awesome, player that not many people ever even hear the name, let alone give the respect he deserves. Ashton Daniels, quarterback out of Florida State. Another week that he is on this list. He did a phenomenal job keeping his team in it this week. Deuce Robinson as well. I did not end up including him because he had a drop, but he was great too. He had a great week, so I wanted to kind of loop them both together here. Again, kind of giving you guys some extra value. Deuce Robinson is a winner of the week, but I personally don't like Deuce in terms of NFL translatability. He's been great in college. 28 throws, 15 completions for 298 yards, 4 touchdowns and an interception. Granted, that interception was not a turnover-worthy play because he had 3 big-time throws, 0 turnover-worthy plays, and had 8 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown on the ground. so over 300 total yards and five total touchdowns with no turnover worthy plays versus Miami who's the best team in the country really good job there for Ashton Daniels he's been doing a phenomenal job this year Connor Wegman quarterback out of Houston can't not include him I mean I know that Mesta Maker is the hot one right now and you know Connor Wegman not really the NFL version of as good of an NFL quarterback I should say but he is still doing a great job in college he ended up having 33 throws, 24 completions, 334 yards, five touchdowns, one interception, three big-time throws, one turnover-worthy play, and 11 carries for 70 yards and a missed tackle forced versus Oklahoma State in a very narrow victory. So obviously, he ended up willing that team to a W. Amari Thomas is, well, excuse me, yes, Amari Thomas, wide receiver. Oh, he's on this list. I was like, I'm going to give you guys another one. All right, well, I'll spoil it. He's also on the list if you guys have eyeballs. but we'll talk about him in a second let's go to Bear Bockmeyer first quarterback out of BYU he ended up winning his team to a victory that's for sure not necessarily with his arm though 36 throws 23 completions for 225 yards a touchdown and interception one big time throw two turnover worthy plays so over through the air not something that's worth a winner of the week but damn dude it's 14 carries for 44 yards and two touchdowns on the ground with a missed tackle forced and he did have one reception on his one target for 15 yards and a touchdown so three non-passing touchdowns four total in a very awesome upset victory over Notre Dame how could I not put Bear Bockmeyer on this list Caleb Hawkins running back out of Oklahoma State been chewing him out because he hasn't been getting air production this past week even though it's a narrow loss he is one of the most productive players for Oklahoma State 17 carries for 68 yards and two missed tackles forced four yards per carry nothing special but eight targets seven completions for 125 yards and a touchdown through the air is incredible just that's not Caleb Hawkins style but he ended up showing that's like hey I got a couple more tools in the toolkit than maybe I show on a week-to-week basis so love seeing that for Caleb Hawkins and of course as mentioned before Amari Thomas wide receiver out of Houston seven targets seven receptions 127 yards and two touchdowns so big reason why they're able to win this past week let's talk about the stock down remember this is going to be split up into two categories the duds of the week and then the losers of the week it's the inverse of what we just ended up talking about but starting out with our loser of the week or the duds of the week Arch Manning quarterback out of Texas I ended up keeping him off this list for the Red River Showdown because he had some awesome plays I got to see him in person I lost a lot of confidence in him I have a quarterback video coming out this week so stay excited for that but I am going to end up taking a little extra time to review this past week's games to make sure all those grades are properly up to date Arch Manning was my QB5 for that video and that did take out certain players that was like guaranteed to not come out which included a player that was above him so he was kind of my QB6 at the time but he is even being hinted at being benched there's more first team reps for his backup who's a freshman that's not good but this past week he lost to Florida ended up throwing 14 completions on 20 throws that's not bad 173 yards a touchdown and intercept or a touchdown no interceptions but one big time throw three turnover worthy plays not good four carries for 32 yards and two fumbles as well with a missed tackle forced it's just not NFL quarterback play and the truth is Arch Manning constantly makes these like one or two throws a game that not many people make. He climbs up the pocket. He extends plays. The tools are jaw dropping. And I genuinely believe this guy is going to end up being a quarter, like a true starting quarterback in the NFL, but it's going to take a lot longer and there's a lot more work and there's a lot higher risk with him than I think people associated with the last name coming into the year, even including myself, but I'm not fully given up on Arch. I do think that his play is subpar. I do think that he deserves to get his benched but that doesn't mean that there's no hope for him at the next level I just think that there's something going on and maybe it's a change of scenery that he needs but uh yeah not a good day good day for Arch Manning next is Keelan Russell I love Keelan Russell quarterback out of Alabama but oh it just this week he looked like a young player he looked really young did not handle the pressure well off target did not look like the Keelan Russell that we just saw a week or two ago uh 30 throws 19 completions for 147 yards zero touchdowns two interceptions zero big time throws three turnover worthy plays uh seven carries for 41 yards and a touchdown on the ground with a fumble and three missed tackles forced when you do you guys know i focus on the big time throw the turnover worthy play ratio because at the end of the day like if a defender gets the hands on the ball and it tips up and a receiver catches it for a touchdown it looks like a touchdown in the books and it should be a turnover worthy play right so i tried to focus on that as much as possible but you look at Keelan Russell like the accuracy the precision was just off he looked really really bad and the memes of him looking at being Jalen Milroe they were not unjustified this past week so uh Keelan Russell hopefully he bounces back but someone who's been a superstar and now a dud of the week last but not least Bryce Underwood quarterback out of Michigan i don't know if we can call him a quarterback but he's been on not fire he's been fired uh because Tommy Carr comes in ends up winning a game after he has a horrible performance Bryce Underwood 11 throws five completions for 43 yards zero touchdowns two interceptions granted zero big time throws zero turnover worthy plays but 43 yards and a half with three carries for 11 yards and getting benched is bench worthy this guy's done jack ---- and then Tommy Carr comes in doesn't have a crazy day but he ends up willing his team to a victory versus Penn State that that's something that you can't deny the fact that Bryce Underwood has been atrocious this year and it doesn't mean he's the worst quarterback ever I think there's a lot of like a lot of time for him to grow and develop but it's very clear that he is not ready to play and that's why he is a dud of the week because I don't know if he's going to get that job back talking about our other losers of the week Jordan Seaton he ended up being graded as a dud of the week as well he ended up getting a three-pass blocking grade with four pressures on 41 reps this past week. That's just uncharacteristic. LSU whooped ass. Maybe that's why he took his foot off the gas pedal, but that's also not something that makes me feel very comfortable. You should not put your quarterback at risk just because you're winning. Then Bo Previla, quarterback out of Virginia. He had 22 throws, 13 completions for 137 yards, zero touchdowns, zero interceptions, zero big-time throws, two turnover-worthy plays with nine carries for 33 yards and a touchdown with a fumble and a missed tackle forced on the ground uh yeah just Bo I saw him in person he I totally forgot he existed when I was watching Virginia I just forgot that he was somebody to watch because he was that bad I was just watching and I was watching uh Monroe Mills and both of them look pretty damn good so I was happy with what came out of it but Bo Previla not the case and I know Nate Frazier's hurt running back out of Georgia but he was bad nine carries for 19 yards are you kidding me like 2.1 yards per carry with uh he at least got three receptions on four targets for 16 yards to make it somewhat palatable but he ended up also having a drop through the air like no yard for carry one or zero missed tackles force by the way on 10 or excuse me 12 touches not a single missed tackle force i know he's hurt but there's other running backs kicking his ass i had him as a day three grade coming into the year i really wanted to like him more and i love the athletic profile and he started out of the year red hot so i was like oh maybe there's somebody and i'm tossing him into third rounds um yeah he needs to show that he's healthy and back to the early version before we try to bump him into any mock drafts you're gonna see anytime soon then we got Jabril Rawls corner out of Florida State um he ended up allowing six or six targets four receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown on him simply put not good enough the amount of duds i had this week is actually crazy so it's good to see that like finally guys have enough stock for me to start putting him on the on the losing side of things but Samson Okunlola another bad week seven pressures allowed 39 reps total like just not good like not good you got to do better than that for me I've loved taking him to the 49ers in the first round because you put him at guard as he learns to play tackle I still think that's the best outcome and I still think he's an absolutely stunning offensive tackle in the long run amazing tools speaking of a player I took off my quarterbacks list so you guys don't need to make fun of me for it next week or this week quarterback Baylor DJ Lagway 55 throws 22 completions 260 yards zero touchdowns and interception zero big time throws of four turnover deep plays and five passes at least were dropped so you know it's going to be above a 50 completion percent actually no is it no because it's 27 out of 55 so still sub 50 percent with the five drops but still three carries for 12 yards as well um unacceptable performance again And big time throws are what DJ Lagway does best. And when you end up combining not doing that with four turnover deep plays, you get your ass on this list. Caleb Woodson, linebacker to Alabama in a loss this week. He ended up having six missed tackles with only two defensive stops. He was also letting up 49 yards on three receptions on three targets through the air. Then we have Jair Hill Corner out of Michigan, not Miami. Apologies for that. Got a graphical error right there. um he ended up having a defensive stop but he was targeted nine times allowed seven receptions for 85 yards then we have Jamal Roberts who's been a superstar of the of the week for damn sake and winner of the week as well dude comes out 20 carries 39 yards two missed tackles forced two receptions for 21 yards on three targets as well but like enough loss where you get put up you don't put up a touchdown like really bad performance by Jamal Roberts and then Julian seeing he's out he's hurt but on top of that 15 completions on 29 throws for 235 yards two touchdowns two picks one big time throw two turnover worthy plays um you put your team in a position after a really strong first drive that they shouldn't have been him so uh yeah gotta count him out there but again he's hurt don't want to rub it in too much we'll just leave it there love you guys thank you guys so much for showing the support that you guys always do i'll see you later peace
