Harold Fannin Jr. - Leads receiving corps in winFannin caught all nine targets for 135 yards during Saturday's 27-20 victory versus Akron.

ImpactFannin is undoubtedly the best tight end in the MAC conference so far this season, with 130 or more yards in all but one game this season. He wasn't able to punch in a score against Akron but still registered nine targets and caught all of them. He should continue to be an animal in Bowling Green's passing game as the year progresses.

Jaison Patterson - Two touchdowns in win over AkronPatterson compiled 18 rushes for 52 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in all two targets for 15 yards during Saturday's 27-20 victory over Akron.

ImpactPatterson was the main man in the backfield with starting running back Terion Stewart out of the matchup with an unknown injury. Patterson only compiled 52 yards off a whopping 18 carries, but he was an end zone machine with two touchdowns. He should have a huge workload if Stewart remains out but hasn't been amazing this season otherwise.

Connor Bazelak - No tuddys in close winBazelak completed 24 of 30 passes for 268 yards during Saturday's 27-20 win versus Akron.

ImpactBazelak didn't pass for any touchdowns against Akron, but he didn't need to as the rushing game was solid as he led the team to a win. The senior passer has thrown for more than 250 yards in every game since the season opener, and he should continue to see good passing volume as the year progresses, especially against conference opponents.

Adrian Norton - Second most season yards in lossNorton tallied three receptions (on seven targets) for 78 yards during Saturday's 27-20 loss to Bowling Green.

ImpactNorton had a lower three catches against Bowling Green, but his big play abilities got him his second-most yards on the year. The sophomore wide receiver hasn't had huge output as the WR1 for Akron so far this year, but touchdowns on top of his already solid yardage could mean big things in the coming weeks.

OCTOBER 6•ROTOWIRE

Jordon Simmons - Over 100 totals yards in lossSimmons totaled nine carries for 73 yards and caught all five targets for 32 yards during Saturday's 27-20 defeat against Bowling Green.

ImpactSimmons hasn't been great so far this season, but he was able to hit his second most rushing yards of the season and surpass 100 scrimmage yards for the second time this year. The junior ball carrier doesn't look to be a great fantasy play at this point in the season, but an increased workload in the running and passing game could mean more productivity in the coming weeks.

OCTOBER 6•ROTOWIRE

Ben Finley - No touchdowns in lossFinley completed 21 of 32 passes for 206 yards during Saturday's 27-20 defeat versus Bowling Green. He also had eight rushes for 32 yards.

ImpactFinley was able to hit 200 yards passing for the first time since Week 3, but he couldn't find a passing touchdown during the loss. The junior quarterback now has not been consistent enough under center to be a solid fantasy option at this point in the season.
