Morton and the Red Raiders will play a much better Kansas State team next week.

Morton had a rough outing in a game that also saw Donovan Smith and Tyler Shough throw interceptions too. While the Texas Tech quarterback is a highly sought-out fantasy asset, we're at a point in the season where it's not entirely clear who that guy will be on a week-to-week basis.

Despite dealing with both a sickness and ankle injury, Morton was fantastic in just his second start. He's now gone for over 300 passing yards in back-to-back games and is showing encouraging signs of being the future signal-caller for the Red Raiders. With dual-threat ability, he's a priority add for fantasy squads if he can hold on to the job over Donovan Smith and Tyler Shough. Texas Tech will host Baylor next week.
