Monday Man Crush: Joe Webb, UAB
The Conference USA quarterback who started the 2009 season as the first Monday Man Crush has us falling in love in college fantasy football week 10.
Joe Webb of UAB put up another monster performance on Saturday against Florida Atlantic, completing 14 passes and carrying the ball 15 times for 412 total yards and 6 touchdowns (4 passing, 2 rushing). Over the last five games, Webb has rushed for at least 120 yards in each contest and has scored 13 times. He now has over 1,000 yards rushing and throwing on the season.
The last three weeks for Webb have been particularly remarkable for Webb, and he has become a college fantasy football beast in his senior season. Each of the last three weeks, he has put up 300 or more total yards.
We predicted at the beginning of the season that Webb could finish the year with over 2000 passing yards and over 1000 rushing yards. With three games left on the schedule, the Blazers QB has to put up over 200 passing yards per game to hit that number. While the C-USA still isn’t renowned for its stifiling defense, Webb seems to be getting it done on the ground for UAB more frequently than through the air.
We recommend Webb as a low-end QB1 in Week 1, but he has developed into a full-fledged college fantasy football superstar. Keep starting him down the stretch if you are lucky enough to own him.
