Waldo Stadium, Kalamazoo, MI
Bugs Mortimer - Makes trip to end zone in winMortimer compiled one catch for 38 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 59-31 victory versus Bethune-Cookman.
ImpactMortimer only had one grab but had his first touchdown of the season. He likely won't be the biggest part of the Broncos' passing game this season, but he had a solid grab against Bethune.

Anthony Sambucci - Huge game in high-scoring winSambucci notched four catches for 103 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 59-31 victory against Bethune-Cookman.
ImpactSambucci saw his biggest game of the season, and showcased some big-play abilities in Western Michigan's high-scoring victory. The senior wide receiver hasn't been the biggest part of the passing game so far this season, but his 54-yard receiving touchdown in the first quarter adds to his case of being a solid deep threat.
SEPTEMBER 14•ROTOWIRE
Chris Toudle - Finds score in big winToudle totaled three grabs for 54 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 59-31 victory against Bethune-Cookman.
ImpactToudle was still efficient in the passing game even after he found the end zone in the first quarter off a 23-yard catch. The 6-foot-4 tight end hasn't been prevelant in the passing game up until this game this season, so it could've be a one-game stand.

Zahir Abdus-Salaam - Two scores in winAbdus-Salaam notched 18 carries for 104 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 59-31 win against Bethune-Cookman.
ImpactAbdus-Salaam is the starting man in the backfield with running back Jalen Buckley (undisclosed) sidelined as of late. This didn't come without plenty of carries for third-string Jaden Nixon, who had even more yards, but a committee could be forming that in the future may be beneficial for multiple parties.

Jaden Nixon - Dominates vs. BethuneNixon logged 17 rushes for 189 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 59-31 victory versus Bethune-Cookman.
ImpactWith Jalen Buckley (undisclosed) sidelined, Nixon was used alongside Zahir Abdus-Salaam in the Broncos' high-scoring victory, showcasing that the two can both produce high stats in tandem. Nixon may not get the same opportunities when Buckley returns, but Western Michigan's reliance on a strong run game could keep him relevant even in a committee.
SEPTEMBER 14•ROTOWIRE
Hayden Wolff - Season-highs in victoryWolff was 15-for-19 passing for 305 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 59-31 win versus Bethune-Cookman.
ImpactSomething finally connected for Wolff in the Broncos' first win of the season, but this could have been due to the low level of competition. The senior quarterback did play a mildly tough Wisconsin team and then contender Ohio State for his first to games of the season, so this huge performance could be more reflective of what the rest of the season could be in conference play.
