As the final week of the College Fantasy Football regular season draws near, one individual has officially come full circle.

Widely chosen among the first three picks in preseason drafts, one forgotten Fantasy quarterback has risen from the dead to once again become a must-start in Week 10.

Gainesville is home to the Florida Gators and their Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow. Many owners argued between picking Tebow and Texas Tech duo Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree in drafts and those that went with the Red Raiders have certainly been more content with their selections.

In fact, Tebow owners were downright distraught that they wasted a No. 1 overall pick on a guy who registered 55 touchdowns last season and couldn't even score his first one on the ground until the Gators fourth game against Mississippi.

Tebow threw for 3,286 yards and rushed for 895 more last season in 13 games during his Heisman-winning campaign. He was something college football had never seen before in its history. With the team the Gators were returning, it only made sense that Tebow would be able to put up the same, if not very similar, numbers. With just 1,415 yards through the air and 227 on the ground in seven games this year, he's nowhere near his Heisman numbers. He's been one of the season's biggest disappointments and many Fantasy owners even dropped him off their teams after several inept offensive weeks early on.

While his final numbers will still pale in comparison to last year's, the man who Gainesville residents have exuded as Superman appears to be hitting his stride.

Tebow didn't score a rushing touchdown in his first three games. He's got five in the last four. His yardage totals have not been the same, but we've seen a different Tebow in the big games for Florida. And the new-look Gators offense lends for that production to continue heading into their biggest game of the season, Saturday in Jacksonville against Georgia for the SEC East title.

Florida has put up two monster offensive weeks in a row over tough defenses in LSU and Kentucky and the reason has been the emergence of the running game with Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey and Percy Harvin. The fact that the trio can utilize the offensive line to break long runs at any given time has caused defenses to slack off of Tebow. That has left him more open to hit Harvin or Louis Murphy down field with passes or take the ball into the end zone himself.

Tebow has seven touchdowns in his last two games against the Tigers and Wildcats and figures to continue that momentum against the Bulldogs in Jacksonville.

His last two games have catapulted him back into Heisman discussions and while that may be a stretch, he's definitely re-emerged on Fantasy owners' radar screens.

For most players, their Fantasy value decreases when facing a top-tier defense. Tebow is the opposite, and that is what makes him special. The tougher the opponent, the more you can expect him to take the ball into the end zone himself.

Still owned in 94 percent of Fantasy leagues, Tebow is only being started in 69 percent heading into Week 10. Most will be sorry they didn't start him against Georgia. He scored five or more touchdowns in a game five times last season and has yet to do so even once this year. You don't want to have him sitting on your bench when he does it for the first time on Saturday in Jacksonville.

Tales from Piscataway

It wasn't too long ago that Rutgers was the talk of the Big East. Head coach Greg Schiano had the folks in Jersey whispering the letters B-C-S not too long ago, so this season's 1-5 start -- their lone win coming against Morgan State -- came as a bit of a surprise.

Before the year began, the departure of running back Ray Rice to the NFL had everyone anticipating the emergence quarterback Mike Teel and favorite target wide receiver Kenny Britt, because Rutgers was going to be a passing team.

If they were a passing team, they weren't a very good one. After the first seven games of the season, Teel had just three passing touchdowns and Britt caught exactly none of them.

And then came last week's game against Pittsburgh. Rutgers hadn't scored more than 21 points in a game against an FBS opponent but put up 54 against the Panthers. Teel tripled his touchdown total with six scoring passes -- a Rutgers school record -- against Pitt and three of them went to Britt.

His previous high in passing yards was 263 in the opening game of the year. He threw for 361 on Saturday and Britt totaled 143 of them. All of Britt's catches and five Teel touchdowns actually came in the first half alone.

With just one week in the Fantasy regular season remaining, owners are probably set with their lineups and won't need to take the risk that Britt and Teel won't be able to duplicate last week's performance on Saturday against Syracuse. Still, with such a major difference in production between the first seven games of the year and the Pittsburgh game, inquiring minds would like to know what caused the jolt of offensive power in Piscataway.

The interesting part is that neither Panthers coach Dave Wannstedt nor Schiano really knows why Rutgers was able to run up the score.

"You don't come in expecting this kind of game," Schiano said after the victory. "It hasn't been the kind of year for either team where you expected the final score to look like this, but you just never know."

Wannstedt prepared for a Rutgers team he thought he was going to play only to realize it was a completely different team standing on the opposite sidelines.

"I really thought that coming into this game it was going to be a 17-10 game," the former NFL coach said. "This was the most disappointing defensive performance we've had since I've been here. The only thing they did different, I really expected them to run the ball and they came out throwing. They ran right by us."

Syracuse doesn't possess a defense as highly ranked as Pittsburgh's and will also have the benefit of studying last week's game to prepare for Rutgers. That plus the fact that even Schiano can't really tell you why his offense performed so well leads many to believe the Knights will fall well below their Week 9 numbers.

Teel will not throw six touchdowns. Britt will not score three times. However, there is something to be said for momentum, which is certainly on Rutgers' side.

Rutgers is 3-5 on the season and has an outside shot at making a bowl if they can win the remainder of their games, and that will start at home against the Orange.

While the quarterback-receiver duo won't put up the ridiculous numbers they did against Pitt, both should be excellent Fantasy starts in Week 10. It may have come too late for most Fantasy owners but the Scarlet Knights are finally Fantasy relevant after a long season of disappointment.

End of season awards go to the Owls

With one week remaining in the Fantasy regular season and the rest of this column pertaining to Fantasy busts who have since begun to turn their year's around, let's finish by handing out awards for the best Fantasy producers this year.

Best Fantasy Performer: Chase Clement, QB, Rice: The award for the best overall Fantasy performer could fall to one of two quarterbacks. One everyone expected to finish at the top of the rankings, the other performed above expectations. Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell and Chase Clement of Rice are No. 2 and No. 1, respectively, in average Fantasy points per week. We give the nod to Clement here and not just because he's got the better numbers. Consistency is the name of the game and while Harrell's worst week was his one touchdown, two interception performance Week 2 at Nevada, Clement's worst came Week 4 at Texas. In that one Clement totaled just one touchdown but didn't throw a pick. Clement was consistently the best Fantasy producer in the nation.

Best Fantasy Running Back: Donald Brown, Connecticut: Michigan State's Javon Ringer started the year off with incredible numbers and still leads all backs in average Fantasy points per game, but Brown was never far behind. But while Ringer suffered two weeks in single-digit Fantasy point production, Brown never fell below 10 points in any week. Plus, few figured Brown to have such an incredible season and that makes him the player of the year from that position.

Best Fantasy Wide Receiver: Jarrett Dillard, Rice: It only makes sense that the best Fantasy quarterback's favorite target be the best Fantasy wide receiver. With an average of 18.4 Fantasy points per week -- 1.1 better than the second-best receiver Aldrick Robinson of SMU -- there is no denying that Dillard was the best wideout in the country. Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree comes a close second because of his continued production despite the Red Raiders having multiple viable receiving options.

Best Fantasy Tight End: James Casey, Rice: Not wanting to continue to chose Owls for the yearly awards, giving the tight end nod to Casey was unavoidable. With 58 more Fantasy points than the next best at the position -- Missouri's Chase Coffman -- nobody else should even be in the conversation.
