Fair warning: after writing this article, I may get flagged for targeting. Three different positions, three different reasons to pick on Bowling Green’s defense — I’m just waiting for the official to throw the flag. But the Falcons aren’t the only ones getting exposed this week. This week’s picks come straight from Your 2026 CFF Week 4 G6 Sicko List. We’ve got a Toledo running back quietly scoring touchdowns like it’s a rivalry week nobody scheduled, a UConn quarterback still sitting on waivers like a four-star recruit nobody offered, and a tight end so under-the-radar he’d need a targeting review just to get noticed. Grab your shovel — the sickos are back, and this week’s dig hits different.

Note: All advanced stats I provide throughout the article are pulled from g5hive.com.

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!

Your 2026 CFF Week 4 G6 Sicko List

Quarterbacks

Michael Van Buren, USF

Fantrax Rostership: 18%
Total Fantasy Points: 60.8
Fantasy Points Per Game: 20.3 (6-point passing TDs)

Michael Van Buren’s fantasy outputs have not been eye-popping: 4.73, 38.06, and 18 points in his last three contests — a stat line that reads more like a WR meant for best ball lineups than a QB1. What has me eyeing Van Buren is his opponent, Bowling Green. Bowling Green is allowing 32.85 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, which in MAC terms is basically an open invitation. While I anticipate he scores closer to 20 fantasy points in Week 4, he has the upside to reach 30.

Kalieb Osborne, UConn

Fantrax Rostership: 33%
Total Fantasy Points: 88.8
Fantasy Points Per Game: 29.5 (4-point passing TDs)

Kalieb Osborne and UConn are coming off a great game against Southern Miss. I’ve talked about him multiple times in previous articles, and he’s still sitting on the waiver wire like a Husky nobody wants to adopt. What are we doing?

He’s a potential league winner, and nothing has changed my mind since putting him on my list a couple of weeks ago. UConn plays Miami (Ohio) in Week 4, and Miami is allowing more than 30 fantasy points per game (2nd worst in the nation) to opposing quarterbacks this season — the RedHawks’ pass defense is about as trustworthy as those officials who said Michigan had 1 second left in the game against Western Michigan.

Running Backs

Connor Walendzak

Fantrax Rostership: 23%
Total Fantasy Points: 61.3
Fantasy Points Per Game: 20.4

Can I interest you in a Toledo running back? I know, I know — He doesn’t have a ton of volume. But hear me out. He has been extremely efficient. Here are Connor Walendzak’s opportunities through three weeks of the season:

  • Week 1: 7 rushing attempts and 3 receptions
  • Week 2: 6 rushing attempts and 1 reception
  • Week 3 vs. Temple: 12 rushing attempts and 1 reception

Walendzak is heavily utilized in the red zone and has already scored six touchdowns this season. Connor is utilized in the red-zone so much — I am sure he has a welcome mat at the 20-yard line. That usage has translated into fantasy outputs of 18.4, 16.8, and 26.1 points. San Diego State can be attacked on the ground, allowing 25.30ppg to opposing RBs, making Connor Walendzak a sneaky plug-and-play option for Week 4.

D.J. Crowther

Fantrax Rostership: 6%
Total Fantasy Points: 49.6
Fantasy Points Per Game: 16.5

It should be a “Running of the Bulls” in Bowling Green, Ohio, on Saturday — and no, that’s not a Pamplona reference; that’s just what’s going to happen when USF shows up. D.J. Crowther has been elusive as he is tied for the lead in the G6 in missed tackles forced with 22.

Bowling Green ranks fourth-worst in the nation against running backs, allowing 40.90 fantasy points per game to the position. D.J. Crowther will split time with Jason Collins Jr., but despite the shared workload, Crowther has still managed eight red-zone carries and four rushing touchdowns, which is tied for 9th in the nation.

Wide Receivers

Bryson Rodgers, USF

Fantrax Rostership: 7%
Total Fantasy Points: 39.5
Fantasy Points Per Game: 13.2

Bryson Rodgers is a receiver I am targeting in his matchup against Bowling Green, a defense that at this point is rolling out the red carpet to opposing wideouts.

Bowling Green is allowing twice as many fantasy points per snap to slot receivers as it is to outside receivers. Van Buren has spread the ball around, with Bryson Rodgers and Joshua Porter each commanding a 24.1% target share, while Arhmad Branch holds a 19% target share.

Porter and Branch primarily line up outside, while Rodgers operates from the slot. When you combine a defense that struggles against slot receivers with a player who leads the team in target share, the matchup becomes very appealing. Give me Bryson Rodgers in Week 4.

Tight End

Keyan Burnett, UNLV

Fantrax Rostership: 6%
Total Fantasy Points: 14.5
Fantasy Points Per Game: 4.8 

Can I interest you in a tight end who leads his team in target share at 16.7% and also leads the team with three red-zone targets? Those three red-zone targets rank ninth among tight ends in all of college football.

Keyan Burnett offers some sneaky value this week — the kind of name that makes your league mates ask “who?” right after he scores a touchdown.

Burnett is averaging 4.33 targets per game, though only 25 receiving yards per contest. The wide receivers he shares the field with haven’t commanded significantly larger workloads — Taz Reddicks is averaging 3.67 targets per game, while Taeshaun Lyons is averaging three. Reddicks is second on the team in target share at 14.1%, behind Burnett.

When you have a tight end who leads his team in target share, leads his team in red-zone targets, and ranks among the top ten tight ends nationally in red-zone opportunities, he becomes an intriguing dart throw. If you need a TE with touchdown upside in Week 4, Keyan Burnett is your man when the Rebels take on Arkon.

Your 2026 CFF Week 4 G6 Sicko List

That’s the list, and if the refs are watching, I regret nothing. Bowling Green fans, I’m sorry — well, not that sorry. Between a Toledo back quietly racking up scores, a UConn quarterback that is getting ZERO respect in leagues, a receiver picking apart a defense that can’t cover anybody, and a perfectly calculated lottery ticket at tight end, this week’s dig turned up more than I expected. Good luck in your Week 4 matchups, and I’ll see you back here next Monday to get you ready for Week 5 of waivers.
