College Football Week 5 Odds, 5 Sleeper Games To Watch

Muizz Tounkara - Available for Week 5 Tounkara (foot) is not on the injury report and should be available for the Week 5 matchup against UCF on Saturday.

Impact Tounkara hasn't played this season, but the freshman wideout looks set to be available in Week 5. The 6-foot-3 wideout could finally suit up for the Cougars this weekend.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jeffrey Strozier Jr. - Available versus UCF Strozier (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Central Florida, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Strozier will suit up and make his season debut following a battle with an undisclosed injury. The wideout will add depth to Houston's receiving corps.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Evan Noel - Out vs. UCF Noel (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Central Florida.

Impact Houston's roster will be without its backup kicker going into October. The placekicker has not attempted any field goals or extra points just yet with Jonathan Dimas providing stability at the position.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Stephon Johnson - Questionable for Week 5 Johnson (not injury related) is questionable for Saturday's game against Central Florida.

Impact If the Big 12 availability report is any indication, Houston's program is determining Johnson's availability based on whether he has cleared the fifth-year eligibility process. The wide receiver has been a reliable staple in UH's receiver corps for years, so the Cougars will wait as long as they have to.

Koby Young - Reels in touchdown Saturday Young hauled in their only target for 22 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-28 win over Georgia Southern.

Impact Young only received one target in Saturday's win, but he reeled it in for a 22-yard touchdown in the first quarter. It marked his fourth touchdown reception of the season, all of which have come in his last three games. While his single target in the game is concerning, his connection with Conner Weigman in and around the redzone makes him a solid asset.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Trent Walker - Productive in Saturday's win Walker reeled in 6 of 7 targets for 83 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-28 victory against Georgia Southern.

Impact Walker had by far his best outing of the season Saturday, highlighted by his 23-yard touchdown reception which marked his first of the season. He also set season highs in receptions, targets and yards after a quiet first three weeks of the season. He'll look to build off this performance Saturday versus UCF.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Amare Thomas - Touchdown streak continues Thomas caught 5 of 6 targets for 50 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-28 win over Georgia Southern.

Impact Thomas hauled in another touchdown Saturday, making it four straight games with a touchdown reception. He gained 50 yards on five receptions which is slightly disappointing for the senior, but his connection with Conner Weigman in the redzone continued to pay off. He'll look to extend his scoring streak again Saturday versus UCF.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Overmyer - 68 yards Saturday Overmyer hauled in 3 of 5 targets for 68 yards during Saturday's 42-28 victory against Georgia Southern.

Impact Overmyer had another good outing Saturday, gaining 68 yards for the third time through four games this season. He now ranks sixth in the nation in receiving yards among tight ends and has accumulated an impressive 27 targets across four outings. He should be able to continue his good run of form Saturday versus UCF.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Makhi Hughes - 84 yards in win Hughes notched 16 carries for 70 yards and gathered in their only target for 14 yards during Saturday's 42-28 victory over Georgia Southern.

Impact Hughes was outcarried by Re'Shaun Sanford (17 attempts) Saturday, and Sanford rushed for 50 more yards. While that's not great news for Hughes, Hughes still played well and still appears to be the team's No. 1 option, Sanford just had the hot hand versus Georgia Southern. However, given how well Sanford is playing, hopes of Hughes being the lone workhorse back are gone, though he has maintained good production while splitting the work.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Re'Shaun Sanford II - Leads backfield Saturday Sanford totaled 17 rushes for 120 yards during Saturday's 42-28 victory against Georgia Southern.

Impact Sanford led the team in rushing attempts for the first time this season, narrowly outpacing Makhi Hughes (16 attempts). He was also much more productive than his teammate, totaling 50 more rushing yards over the course of the game. While Hughes is still the team's No. 1 option, Sanford has played well enough and is getting enough work to be a viable fantasy option alongside Hughes.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Conner Weigman - Dominant in Saturday's win Weigman completed 17 of 22 passes for 239 yards and four touchdowns during Saturday's 42-28 win against Georgia Southern. He also had six rushes for 14 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Weigman accounted for all six of his team's touchdowns Saturday, the most in his career. He completed over 77 percent of his passes in the win and threw a touchdown in each quarter of the game. Weigman's combination of passing and rushing upside makes him a very valuable fantasy asset and he's been productive against every type of matchup he's faced this season.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Muizz Tounkara - DNP Week 4 Tounkara (foot) did not play during Saturday's 42-28 victory over Georgia Southern.

Impact Tounkara was looked at as a possibility for Saturday's contest but was unable to make his season debut for the Cougars. The 6-foot-3 sophomore has yet to appear in a game for Houston due to a foot injury suffered in the offseason, though he has been noted as getting close to a return. His next chance will come against UCF on Saturday.
