Neglected in win Grant accrued six carries for 22 yards during Saturday's 17-9 victory over Northwestern. Impact Grant appeared to fall back in Nebraska's running back depth chart Week 8, as he took a backseat role to redshirt freshman Emmett Johnson (12 carries, 72 yards). The senior running back had only totaled 32 carries for 94 yards over the previous three games, so it seems like the Nebraska coaching staff may have been looking for a new spark to complement rushing quarterback Heinrich Haarberg (16 carries, 72 yards). If Johnson remains as the Cornhuskers' primary running back moving forward, then Grant's value will become effectively meaningless in terms of fantasy.
