Chris Jones - DL - Falcons

Texans selected Bowling Green DT Chris Jones with the No. 198 overall pick.

Jones (6-foot-1 5/8, 302) was the 2012 MAC Defensive Player of the Year, finishing his senior season third in the nation in sacks (12.5) and seventh in tackles for loss (19.0). He forced six career fumbles. Built like a bowling ball with a stocky frame and short arms (32 3/4"), Jones wins with leverage and a relentless play style. He's a bit of a misfit for Houston's 3-4 on paper, but could help in sub-packages. The Texans love to play dime under Wade Phillips, and shoot gaps with multiple interior pass rushers.

Chris Jones - DL - Falcons

Scouts Inc.'s Steve Muench considers Bowling Green senior DT Chris Jones an "interesting sleeper."

Muench concedes that Jones "doesn't have great size but tough quick and aggressive" and the senior "has a great motor." The Falcon was highly productive in his final season and projects as a nickel interior pass rusher, like Karl Klug.

Chris Jones - DL - Falcons

Bowling Green senior DT Chris Jones added another 2.5 sacks Saturday against Eastern Michigan, making his total for the season raise to 11.5.

From a statistical perspective, Jones may be the most consistent interior pass rusher in the nation. The senior's motor never stops, and although many of his sacks aren't highlight worthy, Jones continues to chase and fight until the quarterback is on the ground.

Willie Geter - RB - Falcons

Bowling Green running back Willie Geter left the game against Temple with an apparent ankle injury.

There is no word on the severity of  the injury, but losing Geter would be a huge loss as he is a dynamic playmaker as both a runner and receiver.

Willie Geter - RB - Falcons

Bowling Green running back Willie Geter did it all for the Falcons in their loss to Buffalo by leading the team in receiving and rushing.  Geter carried the ball 12 times for 32 yards while adding five catches for 63 yards and a touchdown.

Even when the offense sputters, Geter gets his numbers because of his versatility.

Willie Geter - RB - Falcons

Bowling Green tailback Willie Geter lead the ground game and the receiving game for the Falcons as they faced off against Marshall this weekend.  Geter ran the ball 31 times for 100 yards while also catching five balls for 86 yards.

Geter is a speedy scatback who will continue to flourish in Dave Clawson's offensive system.

Willie Geter - RB - Falcons

Bowling Green tailback Willie Geter is expected to shoulder more of the workload now that Tyler Sheehan and Freddie Barnes have departed. "I would be disappointed if Willie didn't rush for 1,000 yards next season" says head coach Dave Clawson.  

Now that the top quarterback and receiver are gone for the Falcons, it is expected that Geter will indeed get more touches.  Not only is he expected to reach 1,000 yards rushing, but you can expect quite a few catches considering he nabbed 37 balls last year.

Tyler Sheehan - QB - Falcons

Bowling Green quarterback Tyler Sheehan threw for 387 yards and four touchdowns in a Humanitarian Bowl defeat to Idaho.

I'll let you guess who caught most of Sheehan's 33 completions.  With Sheehan and the unnamed all world wide receiver moving on, the Falcons could look towards running back Willie Geter, who had 96 yards and two scores himself tonight, more next season.

Freddie Barnes - WR - Falcons

Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes caught 17 balls for 219 yards and three scores in a heartbreaking loss to Idaho.

Barnes completes his senior season with 155 catches for 1770 yards and 19 touchdowns. These are numbers which would be a very nice career for many wide receivers.

Freddie Barnes - WR - Falcons

Bowling Green will face Idaho in the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho on Dec. 30 at 4:30 p.m.

Obviously Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes is the marquee fantasy name in this one.  But keep in mind the weather can be nasty in Boise this time of year and Idaho doesn't have too far to travel.  Who am I kidding...Barnes will likely be the top rated fantasy receiver for the bowl season.  Also, don't forget about Idaho's Max Komar; he's a solid fantasy receiver.

Freddie Barnes - WR - Falcons

Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes had nine catches for 69 yards and two touchdowns against Toledo.

Modest numbers considering Barnes' weekly potential, but who is complaining?  The MAC doesn't have a lot of bowl tie ins, so Barnes and the Falcons may have to keep their fingers crossed in hopes of extending their season.  As much as I love writing about this guy, I hope he gets to suit up once more and will be a guaranteed selection on my Bowl Challenge team!

Willie Geter - RB - Falcons

Bowling Green running back Willie Geter had 114 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Toledo.

That's an impressive showing on just 16 carries.  It was Geter's first game over 100 yards this season.  But with QB Tyler Sheehan and his top weapon WR Freddie Barnes leaving, maybe the Falcons will rely on Geter more next year.

Freddie Barnes - WR - Falcons

Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes had 12 catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns in a win over Akron.

I'm running out of superlatives for Barnes, so let's just say he is the best.  Barnes now has an insane 129 catches and 14 touchdowns on the season...and has another game remaining!  It probably won't help fantasy owners, but I want to thank the MAC for their random week night TV schedule throughout the last few weeks.  Its made my job easier, and I was able to watch Mr. Barnes play a few times.

Tyler Sheehan - QB - Falcons

Bowling Green quarterback Tyler Sheehan threw three touchdown passes in this evening's win over Miami (OH)

Sheehan only had 199 yards but the scores make up for the lack of yardage.  Interestingly, in his previous two contests, Sheehan was over 300 yards but only had one touchdown in each.  Maybe less yards equals more TDs for the Bowling Green signal caller.  He'll remain a steady play moving forward.

Freddie Barnes - WR - Falcons

Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes had yet another great evening, catching ten passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns against Miami (OH)

Barnes got the scoring started with a 19 yard rush for a touchdown, and finished with 25 yards rushing on three carries.  Just for good measure, Barnes went 1-of-2 passing as well.  Barnes is up to 14 touchdowns on the year, and has to be my favorite player to report on.  With Toledo and Akron remaining for Bowling Green, Barnes should find the endzone at least a few more times.
