With the move from a pro-style to a spread offense, Fresno State wide receiver Jalen Saunders was moved to the slot which did not suit his liking and now has the talented speedster transferring. Saunders' father says that the coaching staff said Jalen was not going to catch passes downfield anymore.
This is a crushing loss not only for the Bulldogs but for fantasy owners as Saunders was primed to improve upon his 50 receptions for 1,086 yards and 12 touchdowns. The fact that the coaching staff told a guy who averaged over 21 yards per reception last year that he wasn't going to get vertical is utterly stupid and has now cost the team one of their top playmakers.
