Week Five Risers
1. Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma
I did not write-up Westbrook over the summer, and had thought Penn State transfer Geno Lewis would be the likely successor to Sterling Shepard, but Westbrook has filled that void. The 6-foot, 175-pound senior is lighting in a bottle.
With Shepard now an NFL rookie, and Westbrook finally recovered from a lingering pulled leg muscle that bothered him throughout preseason practice and early in the season, Mayfield has a new go-to deep threat. The Sooners quarterback has hooked up with Westbrook for five touchdowns of at least 40 yards in the first two Big 12 games.
