Devy Risers & Fallers: Ja’Corey Brooks, Cade Klubnik, Miller Moss (Fantasy Football)

Week 6 of the College Football season featured big games, massive upsets and some terrific player performances across the nation.

Below, we look at the fallout from the weekend’s action. Who are the week’s biggest devy risers & fallers from the College Football world?

The devy format was first created in the 1990s by Scott Fish of Scott Fish Bowl fame, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular formats in fantasy football. Devy is often referred to as a “dynasty league on steroids” because you draft and stash collegiate players before they even declare for the NFL Draft.

Devy fantasy football requires a bit more research and projection than your normal dynasty league, but we’ll be here to guide you along the way. Each week, we’ll bring you the biggest risers and fallers from the previous weekend of NCAA Football action and its impact moving forward.

Regarding risers, we refer to players whose perceived value has increased based on their on-field performance. However, when we talk about fallers, we consider several other factors, such as injuries, playing time and even some extenuating circumstances, which can impact a player’s value.

Devy Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers

Devy Risers

Ja’Corey Brooks (WR – Louisville)

What a difference a year makes. Around this time last season, wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks was stuck in Nick Saban’s doghouse at Alabama. Now at Louisville, Brooks is thriving in Jeff Brohn’s offensive system while simultaneously resurrecting his NFL Draft stock.

Through five games this season, Brooks has 489 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions. He’s on pace to smash his previous career-highs (674 receiving yards, eight TDs) set back in 2022. It’s not just blowup spots against mid-competition, either. With 70+ receiving yards in every game this season, Brooks has been a model of consistency.

Cade Klubnik (QB – Clemson)

No player in College Football has seen their stock rise more from Week 1 to right now than Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik. Since Week 1’s 31-point loss to Georgia, Klubnik and the Clemson Tigers have been a different team. Clemson is dominating both sides of the ball, and Klubnik is playing the best football of his young career.

So far this season, Klubnik has a 14-2 TD-INT ratio while completing nearly 65% of his pass attempts. Some of that success is due to the playmakers around him – true freshmen Bryant Wesco Jr. and T.J. Moore have made an immediate impact – but the quarterback deserves credit for his role in Clemson’s success.

Devy Fallers

Evan Stewart (WR – Oregon)

Since his days as a high school phenom out of Texas, wide receiver Evan Stewart has been mentioned as the next great devy prospect. Unfortunately, it hasn’t fully clicked for Stewart, and the wide receiver is running out of time to live up to his potential.

Stewart had a productive freshman season at Texas A&M (53-649-2), but his numbers didn’t take the expected leap in year two (38-514-4). The built-in excuse was the offense and quarterback play around him at Texas A&M, which likely played a role in Stewart’s transfer to Oregon.

Even with the change of scenery, Stewart isn’t producing much better in Eugene, Ore. Five games into the season, Stewart only has 16 receptions, 182 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He’s failed to reach the 30-yard mark in four out of five contests and reportedly left Friday night’s 31-10 victory over Michigan State with an undisclosed injury.

Miller Moss (QB – USC)

USC quarterback Miller Moss has been a pleasant surprise this season. He went toe-to-toe with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier back in Week 1 and has mostly exceeded expectations this season. Week 6 wasn’t his best performance, though.

Moss and the Trojans’ passing game had a season-low 200 passing yards and struggled for much of USC’s 24-17 upset loss to Minnesota. The junior quarterback tossed two crucial interceptions, including the game-clinching one in the closing seconds. One bad week isn’t a deathblow to Miller’s devy stock, but a looming matchup against #4 Penn State (5-0) could lead to a string of bad outings.
