College Fantasy Football Week 8 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Lineup advice from Eric Froton

Eric Froton offers some help setting those college fantasy football lineups for Week 8.

Starting with quarterback, consider DJ Lagway from Baylor, who leads the Power Four in passing attempts and ranks second in passing yards per game. Lagway will face a Kansas defense that has allowed 35 points per game this season and ranks 133rd in explosiveness. Noah Fifita from Arizona takes on Iowa State, a team with one of the worst secondaries in the nation, allowing 17.6 yards per successful dropback.

Jaden Craig from TCU plays against West Virginia, a team allowing 9.1 yards per dropback and ranked 137th in yards per dropback allowed. Running back Kewan Lacy from Ole Miss should see a significant workload as Texas struggles, and J'Koby Williams from Texas Tech is an option against a Cincinnati defense that ranks 103rd in rushing success rate.

Colt Komolafe from Northwestern should rack up yards against a Rutgers defense that ranks 131st in yards before contact. Trent Mosley from USC is showing a high scoring ability after returning from injury, and Joseph Williams from Colorado is dominating targets while scoring consistently for Oklahoma State. Braden Pegan from Utah and Umari Hatcher from Syracuse are both averaging 16.9 PPG and have high target shares, making them valuable picks in your lineup.
