Putting Banks over SMU’s Ben Hicks and Houston’s D’Eriq King might come as a surprise to some, but we think Banks is headed for a huge 2018 season. The Texas native came to New Orleans after a season at Independence Community College. In his first year at the controls for coach Willie Fritz, Banks threw for 1,797 yards and 12 touchdowns and rushed for 592 yards and seven scores. With another offseason to work as the starter, Banks should thrive under the direction of Fritz and coordinator Doug Ruse.

https://www.underdogdynasty.com/2018/5/ ... milton-ucf5. Tulane: Jonathan Banks is the biggest reason why the Green Wave offense had some life last year, and he returns. Going with the theme of the conference, his backup is also transferring. Jonathan Brantley took over when Banks was injured a few times last year, and the offense seemed to keep humming along. With Brantley gone, Banks needs to stay healthy, but shouldn’t have to worry about carrying the team with the weapons around him.
