Yahoo Sports College Football analysts Eric Froton and Nick Bromberg reveal their boldest fantasy predictions for Week 11.
Lee Beebe Jr. runs wild on the Trojans
Hoosiers starting RB Turbo Richard has been ruled out for this weekend’s tilt against USC, leaving the bulk of rushing work to UAB transfer Lee Beebe Jr. Turbo missed time earlier in the year against Northwestern, which resulted in an eye-opening 203 rushing yards and 27.0 points for Beebe. With USC’s defense ranking 105th in marginal explosiveness and 106th in tackle success rate, I expect a rerun of his Week 4 eruption versus the Wildcats and another 20+ point outing for Beebe. — Froton

Nik McMillan breaks out in Morgantown
Few defenses have been as giving as West Virginia and its beleaguered secondary that ranks dead last in the FBS, allowing 323 passing yards per game with 23 touchdowns through the air. Its opponent, Kansas, is aware of these deficiencies and will plan accordingly, which means WR Nik McMillan should receive 7-10 targets and clear the 100-yard mark with a touchdown (or two), with Kansas getting a hard-fought road win in the process. — Froton
Pick up and start Thomas Castellanos if you still can
The Texas Tech quarterback is still available in half of leagues despite rushing for over 100 yards in each of his first two (real) starts of the season. I am ultimately concerned about the Red Raiders’ ceiling with Castellanos at quarterback, but he should continue to pile up the fantasy points against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys allow over 27 points per game and the over/under is nearly 75 points. Castellanos will be one of the highest-scoring QBs in the country again in Week 11. — Bromberg

The Clemson defense is in line for another big day
If Clemson has been off your radar for much of the season, I understand. The Tigers are 6-3 after winning three of their four games after a Week 6 bye. And in each of those victories, Clemson’s defense has scored at least 12 fantasy points. The Tigers had 17 a week ago in an 18-13 win over Syracuse. Georgia Tech is Clemson’s opponent on Saturday and they’re in the midst of a terrible season. The 2-7 Yellow Jackets are averaging more than one turnover per game and scoring just 24 points per game. Clemson is available in 90% of leagues. Just saying. — Bromberg
