For the first time this 2010 season, our Fantasy Player of the Week is not one of the usual QBs who have been winning this honor.

Nebraska RB Roy Helu, Jr., is our Fantasy College Blitz Fantasy Player of the Week for Week Nine, after a record-setting performance against Missouri

Helu, Jr. (photo, thanks Scout.com), a senior from Danville, CA (San Ramon Valley HS), rushed for a school-record 307 yards in Nebraska’s 31-17 win over formerly-undefeated Missouri.  Helu, Jr. also had three long TD runs in the game for the Big XII North leading Cornhuskers.

This is the third time this season, and the second week in a row, that a Husker has won our Fantasy Player of the Week honor.  Last week, Huskers QB Taylor Martinez won his second FCB-FPOTW of the 2010 after a big performance against Oklahoma State.

It must be Groundhog Day…because we seem to have a lot of repeat winners for our Player of the Week honors.

Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez (photo, thanks HuskerNation.com) is our Fantasy College Blitz Fantasy Player of the Week for Week Eight…his second win of our top weekly fantasy honor this season.

The freshman from Corona, CA (Centennial HS) threw for 323 yards and 5 TDs, while rushing for another 130 yards, in the Cornhuskers 51-41 win at Oklahoma State this past Saturday.

Nebraska has had some great running/option QBs over its history, but, their recent discovery just may obliterate all the records and legendary games of his predecessors.

Martinez, a redshirt-freshman from Corona, CA (Centennial HS), ran for 241 yards and 4 TDs, passed for another TD, and had 368 yards total offense in Nebraska’s 48-13 win at Kansas State on Thursday night.

As a Tampa Bay Rays fan, I am glad a former Number One draft pick for the New York Yankees did not pan out.

And, I am sure a lot of Oklahoma State fans feel similar…OK, maybe not because they are all Rays fans in Stillwater.  I am betting it is for a different reason.

Whatever the reason, Oklahoma State QB Brandon Weeden (photo, thanks ncaafootball.fanhouse.com) is our Fantasy College Blitz Fantasy Player of The Week for Week Three.

So, the real reason why he is our Fantasy Player of the Week:

Weeden, a former professional baseball player who played his HS sports in Edmond, OK (Santa Fe HS), threw for 409 yards and 6 TDs in the Cowboys 65-28 roping of Tulsa on Saturday.   Since starting his first game two weeks ago, Weeden has led the  Cowboys to a 3-0 record, and the team is averaging 57 points per game.

The 2009 season is winding down…

A good number of fantasy owners are already in planning for 2010, because, 2009 is effectively over.  A smaller number of you have 2009 still to worry about….whether making your post-season or already in your post-season.

Fortunately, for those still around, it is a good week for the top fantasy QBs.  While there are some big contests in many conferences on the slate for this week, a few schools have easy conference matchups, or, non-conference games.

One of those non-conference matchups, yours truly will be in attendance.  Texas QB Colt McCoy (photo, thanks IconSMI) faces UCF on Saturday, in one of those late-season, somewhat inter-sectional matchups in Austin.

Oh, and play McCoy this weekend, if you have him Read the rest of this entry →
