Max Borghi

Washington State is moving on from Mike Leach, and that means things could look very different for Borghi this season. Nick Rolovich and his pass-happy system is now in Pullman after a successful run at Hawai’i, but while his offense leans on the pass compared to the average college offense, it’s significantly more balanced than what Leach was running. Hawai’i called passing plays 61.5 percent of the time, good enough for fourth in the nation in 2019. Washington State led the nation in passing play percentage at 77.9 -- a full 14 percent more than the next-most pass-happy team (San Jose State). All of this is to say that Borghi stands to see a major increase in carries in 2020. He was effective with a 6.5 YPC mark and 11 touchdowns on 121 regular season carries last season. Hawaii’s leading rusher had 174 carries, for comparison. Borghi may see a fairly steep dropoff in targets, however, and that effects his PPR upside. Still, he won’t completely disappear from the passing game, and his rushing increase should result in Borghi turning in start-worthy fantasy production every week
