Devy Risers & Fallers: LaNorris Sellers, Quinn Ewers, Cam Coleman (2024)

Week 12 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

LaNorris Sellers (QB – South Carolina)

Earlier this season, South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers looked like a one-dimensional athlete surviving until the next play. His natural athletic traits were clear from day one, but his struggles as a passer prevented him from reaching his true potential.

One month later, Sellers has completely flipped the narrative. The freshman from Florence, South Carolina is now excelling as a passer and that has sent his devy stock skyrocketing. After failing to reach 175 passing yards in South Carolina’s first four games of the season, Sellers has 235+ passing yards in four of the past five contests.

In South Carolina’s thrilling 34-30 win against the Missouri Tigers, Sellers might have played his most complete game of the season. He racked up a career-high 353 yards and five touchdowns through the air and added another 45 yards with his legs. With electric play-making ability and growing confidence as a passer, Sellers has all the tools NFL talent evaluators look for in the modern-day quarterback. Acquire him before his stock rises even more.

Cam Coleman (WR – Auburn)

Elsewhere in the SEC, Auburn’s Cam Coleman is finally living up to the offseason hype. The true freshman wide receiver has shown brief glimpses of his all-world upside all season, but it finally came together this week against Louisiana-Monroe.

Before this week, Coleman had 292 receiving yards and two touchdowns all season. In Week 12, Coleman broke out with 100 receiving yards and three touchdown receptions against ULM, including one of the most beautiful one-handed grabs you’ll ever see. Here’s hoping Coleman carries that momentum over in Auburn’s final two matchups against #15 Texas A&M and #10 Alabama.

Devy Fallers

Quinn Ewers (QB – Texas)

Entering this season, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was considered a potential first-round pick by many across the industry. While you only need one team to fall in love with Ewers, that seems like a pipedream right now.

Simply put, Ewers hasn’t been good enough since returning from a midseason oblique injury. He could be playing through injury or pressing due to Arch Manning’s presence, but the film he’s putting out there right now isn’t pretty. Day Two seems like the best-case scenario for Ewers.

Jurrion Dickey (WR – Oregon)

Sometimes, it takes a couple of years for players to reach their true potential. Other times, it never happens. Here’s hoping it’s the former instead of the latter for Oregon wide receiver Jurrion Dickey.

Dickey is a talented former five-star prospect who hasn’t been able to break into the wide receiver rotation at Oregon. Is that because he isn’t good enough or because of the depth chart around him? We likely won’t have that answer for a few years, but the vibes couldn’t be lower on the Dickey bandwagon.

Last season, Dickey finished with one reception for seven yards in an eventual redshirt season. This season, Dickey has matched that lowly production with one seven-yard reception against Michigan State in early October. He could decide to stick around, but a transfer out of town might be Dickey’s best shot at salvaging his career.
