Winning your college matchups with data, system insights, and waiver wire moves.

Each Tuesday throughout the season, this article will serve as your go-to resource for winning the college side of your C2C leagues. Whether you're grinding waivers, setting optimal lineups, or looking to exploit matchups based on offensive systems, this guide will cover it all.

We’ll break down key waiver adds, dive into start/sit decisions using matchup data and usage trends, and highlight which college offenses you need pieces of (or should be fading). Plus, Jay’s Data Corner will give you a weekly dose of analytics to sharpen your process.

If you're trying to win Saturdays and set up your dynasty roster for Sundays, this is the article for you. Let’s get into it.

🧊 Section 1: Stock Up / Stock Down (Temperature Check)

Tracking player value swings that impact lineups, trades, and long-term outlook.

We’re three weeks into the season, and the board is already shifting. While dozens of players are gaining or losing steam every week, these are the ones that stand out to me the most, whether it’s a breakout you can buy into or a warning sign you shouldn’t ignore.

Stock Up

Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson

Robertson has looked strong through two weeks and is commanding the Baylor offense with poise and precision. After torching Auburn for 419 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, he followed it up with 34-of-50 for 440 yards and four more touchdowns in a massive upset over No. 17 SMU. He spread the ball around to multiple receivers and made big throws in clutch moments.

He's now sitting at 859 yards and 7 touchdowns on the season. The arm talent, touch, and pocket movement were all on display in back-to-back statement games. If he keeps this up, NFL buzz will grow.

I did a full spotlight breakdown of Robertson this offseason — check it out here:

2026 QB Spotlight: Sawyer Robertson

C2C Takeaway:
If he continues to throw this much and produce the way we’re seeing, we’re talking about a top-10 player in the format and a QB who is slowly raising his draft stock while others in the class have struggled.

Ohio State QB Julian Sayin

Two games into his career, Sayin has already set an Ohio State record for most consecutive completions to open a game (16). Against Grambling State, he went 18-of-19 for 306 yards and 4 touchdowns, looking sharp and in full control.

Yes, the opponent wasn’t elite, but the efficiency is what matters. He’s made the most of every opportunity. After a solid debut against Texas, he’s now validating why we were so high on him as a value pick all offseason.

This looks like a classic case of a Devy/C2C Value Spike — if you took him late in devy drafts, you’re smiling right now.

C2C Takeaway:
Love what we are seeing, but we need to see him produce against a good team. Regardless, he looks like a very safe QB2 at this point with a high ceiling.
