The official Heisman trophy will be handed out in a few weeks and I will be posting who I feel is the most deserving of the award based on the criteria used for determining the Heisman.  One of the criteria is obviously finishing in the Top 15 in the BCS while being in the Top 10 being almost a requirement.  However, for us fantasy players, we don’t care about the player playing on a Top 10 BCS team. In fact, do you even know how many wins UTEP had? Do you even care? This leads to the question that matters: who is the Fantasy ‘Most Outstanding’ Player of The Year (FPOY)?

Earlier this season, a few were wondering when our Week Eight Fantasy Player of the Week would finally start producing.

In Nevada’s 70-45 win over their visitors from the Gem State, the rangy QB from Turlock, CA vandalized the Vandals defense, rushing for 230 yards and 4 TDs.  And, proving that he is more than just someone with long legs, Kaepernick also threw for another 170 yards and 2 TDs.

But, for Keenum,  many did not think he was the top QB in the city of Houston last year….as Rice QB Chase Clement seemed to get more of the headlines (and the fantasy attention…he was the 2008 Fantasy College Blitz’s Fantasy Player of the Year).   Few remember that Keenum was the one named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year in 2008.

However, 2009 is definitely shaping up to be Keenum’s year…arguably the #1 Fantasy Player in the nation.   He has most of his skill position weapons back, a schedule favorable for the Cougar offense, and, Clement has used up his eligibility…. Read the rest of this entry →
