Welcome to CFF Week 11 G6 Risers. For many of you, this is a big week. In fact, it’s the first week of the college fantasy football playoffs in a lot of leagues. If you’re still alive, congratulations. You earned it.
I also hope this column helped get you here. Maybe it was a waiver add that won you a close matchup. Or maybe it was a streamer who saved a bye week. Either way, I’m glad you’re back. After all, the playoffs are no time to stop digging.
So, let’s dig. This week, I have four G6 players who should see their Fantrax rostership jump by Tuesday morning. First, there’s a quarterback on a five-game heater. Next comes a running back with a dream matchup. Then, there’s a receiver who might be the hottest name on the wire. Finally, we have a tight end in a game that Vegas expects to be a shootout. Here is CFF Week 11 G6 Risers.
There’s no such thing as too much football! 2026 is the perfect time to add the college game to your fantasy football repertoire. Whether you want to create your own league or join an existing league, the Fantrax College Football Commissioner is the place to go!
CFF Week 11 G6 Risers
Quarterback
Baylor Hayes, Tulsa
Fantrax Rostership: 10%
Total Fantasy Points: 169.8
Fantasy Points Per Game: 24.3 (6-point passing TD)
Let’s start with the matchup, because it’s that good. FAU allows the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in the nation. Yes, the most. That puts the Owls dead last, 138th out of 138 teams.
Now, pair that with the right quarterback. Enter Baylor Hayes.
Five Games, One Big Heater
Hayes has been on a tear. Over his last five games, he has scored 39.84 points against North Texas. Then, he added 18.12 against Navy. After that, he put up 30.26 against Rice. Next, he scored 20.18 against Army. Finally, he dropped 39.12 points on Tulane last week.
Add it up, and that’s 29.5 points per game over his last five. Even his “bad” games were close to 20 points. Honestly, most waiver quarterbacks would frame an 18-point game and hang it on the wall.
Also, notice the trend. He opened that stretch with almost 40 points. Then, he closed it with almost 40 more. In other words, he’s not slowing down. If anything, he’s heating up at the perfect time.
The Worst Pass Defense in the Country
So, here’s the setup. On one side, you have a defense that can’t stop quarterbacks. On the other side, you have a quarterback who is playing his best football of the season. Simply put, that’s the kind of matchup you want in the playoffs.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed in fantasy football. Still, the odds are stacked in Hayes’ favor. If your quarterback has a tough draw this week, Hayes is a strong pivot. I like Baylor Hayes to see a roster bump this week. More importantly, I like his chances to win you a playoff matchup.
That’s why Hayes leads off CFF Week 11 G6 Risers.

Running Back
Devonte Lyons, FIU
Fantrax Rostership: 8%
Total Fantasy Points: 107.8
Fantasy Points Per Game: 12
FIU plays Delaware in Week 11. Now, Delaware is coming off a loss to Kennesaw State. And did you see what Boogie Woods III did to them? He carried the ball 15 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns. On top of that, he caught four passes for 12 yards. That was good for 26.2 fantasy points.
A Personal Victory Lap
Admittedly, I have a personal stake in this one. I picked up Boogie Woods III last week and started him against Delaware. So, yes, I was the beneficiary. Thank you, Delaware. Your run defense was a lovely gift.
Now, I think Lyons can have the same kind of success. Look at his last four games. He has scored 17.9, 20.7, 10.9, and 38.8 fantasy points. That’s an average of 22.08 points per game.
Volume and Efficiency
The workload backs it up. Over those four games, he carried the ball 15, 19, 10, and 24 times. Then, look at what he did with those carries. He ran for 73, 115, 52, and 216 yards. That’s 456 rushing yards on 68 carries, or 6.7 yards per carry. He also scored three touchdowns in that span.
Think about that 216-yard game for a second. That’s not a typo. Instead, that’s a running back who can win you a week by himself. Meanwhile, Delaware just let Woods III score twice.
So, I expect his rostership to rise. Even better, I like his opportunity in Week 11. In the playoffs, you need running backs with volume and a soft matchup. Lyons has both.
That’s why Lyons belongs in CFF Week 11 G6 Risers.

Wide Receiver
Landon Sides, East Carolina
Fantrax Rostership: 10%
Total Fantasy Points: 86.8
Fantasy Points Per Game: 14.5
Now, let’s talk about the hottest name on the waiver wire this week. In fact, Landon Sides might be the hottest name, period.
Last week, ECU played South Florida. That’s a tough defense. However, Sides didn’t seem to care. He had his best game of the season. Specifically, he caught 14 passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns. That was good for 36.6 fantasy points.
It Doesn’t Matter Who’s Throwing
Here’s the wild part. We know Sides and Mitch Griffis have a connection. Unfortunately, Griffis got knocked out of the game. So, Emory Williams took over. And honestly, it didn’t seem to matter. Both quarterbacks looked for Sides all night. Fourteen catches later, he had his best game of the year.
Also, this wasn’t a one-week fluke. Before that, he scored 28 points against Memphis. Then, he added 12.8 points against Temple. So, that’s three straight useful games, with his best one coming last.
Charlotte Can’t Cover the Slot
Next, look at the matchup. ECU plays Charlotte in Week 11. The 49ers allow the third-most fantasy points in the nation to opposing wide receivers.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sides lines up on the outside more often. However, he does most of his damage from the slot. In fact, he scores roughly three times as many points per game in the slot as he does outside.
And guess where Charlotte struggles the most? That’s right, the slot. Even when he’s outside, Charlotte gives up a whole bunch of points to receivers. But when he moves inside, the matchup gets even better.
So, you have a hot receiver who thrives in the slot. Then, you have a defense that can’t cover the slot. Bottom line, I like Sides to continue his streak. Go get him before your leaguemates do.

Tight End
Max Reese, North Texas
Fantrax Rostership: 16%
Total Fantasy Points: 86.7
Fantasy Points Per Game: 9.6
Lastly, let’s talk tight end. In the playoffs, tight end often feels like throwing a dart. Fortunately, Max Reese gives you a better target than most.
Reese is the third option in the North Texas offense. However, that offense throws a lot. Tayven Jackson ranks in the top five in the country in passing yards per game. On top of that, North Texas throws it more than 33 times per game. As a result, there’s plenty of work to go around.
A Shootout in the Making
Now, look at the opponent. North Texas plays UTSA in Week 11. UTSA throws the ball about 30 times a game too. In other words, both teams like to sling it.
As I write this, the over/under for this game sits between 73.5 and 76.5 points, depending on your sportsbook. That’s a lot of scoring. Naturally, a lot of scoring means a lot of chances for everyone involved.
Steady Targets, Real Yardage
Even as the fourth option, Reese gets opportunity. He’s averaging about three targets and three receptions per game. Plus, he’s averaging more than 40 receiving yards per game. That ranks in the top 20 among tight ends in the nation.
Lately, it’s been even better. Over his last five games, he has seen seven, three, one, nine, and seven targets. He turned those into 101, 39, 0, 85, and 72 yards. That was good for 21.4, 12.9, 0, 15.2, and 11.2 points.
Yes, there’s a zero in there. That came against Navy. Still, he has reached double digits in four of his last five games. At tight end, that’s gold.
So, you have an opportunity in a game with a huge over/under. That’s all you can ask for at this position. Max Reese is a viable option in Week 11. That’s why he rounds out CFF Week 11 G6 Risers.
The Bottom Line
To sum it up, all four players have a path to a big playoff week. First, Hayes faces the worst quarterback defense in the nation. Next, Lyons gets a Delaware run defense that just gave up two scores to Boogie Woods III. Meanwhile, Sides is red-hot and facing a defense that struggles in the slot. Finally, Reese gets steady work in a likely shootout.
That wraps up CFF Week 11 G6 Risers. Thank you for reading all season long. Get your claims in before waivers run Tuesday morning. Then, go win your first playoff matchup. I’ll be back Thursday for some sicko plays.
