Ballin With My Bestie - Episode 72 - Lightning in a Bottle

Let's kick off this 12-gamer slate with the quarterback position.

Uh, I said last week Michael Hawkins Jr. would be an elite option, and of course he was.

He's scoring mid-40s.

That Iowa State or, uh, Iowa State-West Virginia game was quite, uh, entertaining.

Hawkins ended up with 20 rushing attempts, giving him-- That-- Making that the third time he's done that this year, and really I do not see why that would stop anytime soon.

They play Arizona.

This one could be another fun Big 12 matchup.

Arizona is down a bunch of receivers, but is still the three-point favorite, which is...

I don't know, that feels a little surprising, but, uh, maybe not.

Uh, I thought the Iowa State line was a little fick- uh, fickle, and that ended up being pretty true as, uh, as West Virginia lost by three points at the very end.

So yeah, I think Hawkins at 9K is absolutely the top quarterback on the slate.

I don't mind paying up for it.

He's just been that elite.

There's a couple cheaper options that could help you get there, albeit obviously risky.

Um, but Hawkins is a walking 35-point machine.

The feed at the top, not super interested in.

Trinidad Chambliss, they get the return of Keyuan Lacy, which is nice.

Um, but we just-- I mean, we saw a big matchup or a big performance against Louisville in week one.

That was kind of a crazy shootout.

I'm not sure we see that of- against Vandy, obviously, so not super in on that.

A couple names that I find pretty interesting is, you know, we see Connor Weigman.

We saw the rush usage tick up.

It only took a flu game for him.

Apparently, he was sick last week.

50 yards on 13 attempts, three rushing touchdowns.
