The eyes of fantasy players always seem to light up a little bit more when the Western Athletic Conference is mentioned…it means “a lot of offense” in Fantasy-Speak.

And, for 2010, it could mean even more offense than in past years, as Boise State and Nevada return a good part of their offense from last season.  Also, some coaching changes around the league may upgrade some of the WAC’s weaker offenses.

You can be assured that fantasy players and leagues around the land will be jockeying to draft WAC talent like Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick (photo, thanks Scout.com) very early on… Read the rest of this entry →

“I wanna dump him…he is a bust“.

I heard a lot of this talk early in the 2009 season from fantasy players in regard to our WAC Fantasy Player of the Year.  I advised everyone concerned to stay with this player….he will eventually have a break-out season.

Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick (photo, thanks USA Today), our Fantasy College Blitz – Western Athletic Conference Fantasy Player of the Year, did not win the honor because he made this humble scribe look like a genius.  He wins the honor for being, arguably, the most productive player in college football for the last two-thirds of the season.

The junior from Turlock, CA (Pitman HS) Pistol-whipped his opponents, passing for 1734 yards and 16 TDs, and, rushing for another 1126 yards and scoring 16 TDs (stats quoted through November 21st games).   Kaepernick was also our 2008 FCB WAC Fantasy Player of the Year.

Joining Kaepernick on the WAC All-Fantasy Team are… Read the rest of this entry →

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

Well, he produced yesterday.  Big Time.

Our Fantasy College Blitz Fantasy Player of the Week, Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick (photo, thanks IconSMI), has finally shaken off all of his early season doldrums…and opened up the Pistol offense on Idaho.

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.

Note that Idaho, coming into the game at Nevada, was 6-1….and enjoying one of its better seasons in many years.

Can you believe it….already Week Eight!

The 2009 college football season, for the fantasy crowd, is almost over.  Most of your leagues are in the home stretch…fighting for playoff spots…upsetting the playoff apple-cart for your rivals….trying to keep out of the cellar….wondering why your star player early in the season has now turned into Buster McBust…

In dealing with college football QBs for Fantasy College Blitz, I have noticed that, at this time of the season, the QB position seems to produce fewer numbers….especially those at the BCS-level schools.   Generally, the QBs at the BCS-level schools are playing their conference foes, and, their tougher ones as the season progresses.

Fortunately, some QBs are immune to the “end of season doldrums”.  One of them, Houston QB Case Keenum (photo, thanks Scout.com), seems to put up better numbers playing against his conference foes. Read the rest of this entry →

As we near the start of the 2009 season, every mag and every rag will be listing their “must see” games for 2009.

Since we at Fantasy College Blitz are a fantasy college football site…we do have our “must see” games….although our “must see” are for those who want to see stats piled up, and, scores galore.

So, for our first edition of “The Games Every Fantasy Player Should Watch”, we are going to look at some of the September matchups….games that will most likely feature the college players you have drafted (or will draft)

Hey, even for one afternoon in September, Colin Kaepernick (photo, thanks IconSMI) and his Wolf Pack from Reno just might turn NBC into the “Nevada Broadcasting Company”.
