Devy Risers & Fallers: Woody Marks, Carnell Tate, Kyle McCord (2024)

Week 9 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 world of college football?

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

Woody Marks (RB – USC)

Another week, another standout Woody Marks performance. The Mississippi State transfer has been a revelation this season and it was more of the same in USC’s 42-20 victory over Rutgers on Friday night. Marks finished with 94 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. He added 48 yards on five receptions in the passing game.

As a super senior and late-breakout player, Marks will be the center of many useless Twittter/X debates this upcoming offseason. His age may impact his upside and draft capital, but you can’t deny he has the skill set to play on Sundays. All he needs is the opportunity.

Carnell Tate (WR – USC)

With Ohio State’s offensive line struggling to create holes in the running game, the Buckeyes are putting more on their elite wide receivers this season. True freshman Jeremiah Smith and senior Emeka Egbuka get most of the attention, but be careful not to overlook Carnell Tate’s upside at the next level.

The 2026 draft-eligible wide receiver had his most productive game of the season against Nebraska in Week 9, finishing with 102 receiving yards and a touchdown in Ohio State’s 21-17 victory. It was the first 100+ yard receiving game of Tate’s young career. The talent in the Ohio State wide receiver room prevents the sophomore from putting up numbers he would elsewhere, but the talent is undeniable when given opportunities. Buy low if you can.

Devy Fallers

Kyle McCord (QB – Syracuse)

Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord has exceeded expectations this season. He has 300+ passing yards in every game this season and entered Thursday’s contest with a 19:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Unfortunately, it all came crashing down for the Ohio State transfer in Syracuse’s 41-13 loss to Pittsburgh.

McCord kept his 300+ passing-yard streak alive but tanked the rest of his season-long stats. He finished with zero touchdowns, five interceptions and the lowest completion percentage this season. Pittsburgh returned three interceptions for defensive touchdowns in the first half.

One bad performance isn’t a death blow to McCord’s devy stock, but it’s certainly a humbling experience for the quarterback and his biggest supporters. The journey to resurrecting his stock begins this weekend against the Virginia Tech Hokies.

Brock Glenn (QB – Florida State)

The Brock Glenn era at Florida State has been nearly as bad as the DJ Uiagalelei era. In three starts this season, Glenn has averaged 130.6 passing yards per game and has a 3:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He played fewer snaps than backup quarterback Luke Kromenhoek in Week 9 and might be on the verge of losing his starting position.

Florida State head coach Mike Norvell did announce Glenn as the starter against North Carolina this weekend, but Kromenhoek is expected to continue rotating in. Kromenhoek’s rushing ability brings a different dynamic to Florida State’s offense and a full-time switch isn’t out of the question this season. Fade them all.
