Jeff Foreman - Snags five passes in openerForeman had five catches for 55 yards in Saturday's 40-21 win over Central Arkansas.
Te'vailance Hunt - Snags touchdown in openerHunt had six catches for 96 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 40-21 win over Central Arkansas.
ImpactHunt fell just shy of the century mark in Saturday's opener against Central Arkansas, but was an effective weapon for the tandem of James Blackman and Layne Hatcher. The former TCU Horned Frog will look for some more space next week against a Memphis defense that ranked 117th in passing yards allowed in 2020.

Corey Rucker - Goes off for three touchdownsRucker had nine catches for 138 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 40-21 win over Central Arkansas.
ImpactRucker displayed why he's the Red Wolves' number one receiver on Saturday, tying his career high with nine catches. His three touchdowns were all delivered by Layne Hatcher, who entered the game in relief of James Blackman. This is now Rucker's second-straight monster performance, as he put up 310 yards and four touchdowns in Arkansas State's 2020 finale against Louisiana-Monroe. With a Memphis defense that ranked 117th in passing yards allowed last season coming to Jonesboro next week, Rucker could be a solid addition to any fantasy roster.

Marcel Murray - Goes for 63 yards in openerMurray had seven carries for 63 yards in Saturday's 40-21 win over Central Arkansas.
ImpactAlthough the senior didn't find paydirt on the day, his nine yards per carry led the team. While Alan Lamar earned 18 carries against the Bears, he only outrushed Murray by four yards. If Murray can keep these types of numbers up, he figures to see more work in coming weeks.

Alan Lamar - Rushes for TD in openerLamar had 18 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 40-21 win over Central Arkansas. He added two catches for three yards.
ImpactLamar was the Red Wolves' feature back on the day as no other Arkansas State player had more than seven carries. While he did average just 3.7 yards per carry, he snapped off a 33-yard scamper and scored the team's sole rushing score. With solid performances from backfield mates Marcel Murray and Johnnie Lang, the competition for carries in Jonesboro is an interesting one.

Layne Hatcher - Perfect in reliefHatcher completed 12 of 12 passes for 150 yards and four touchdowns in Saturday's 40-21 win over Central Arkansas. He added one rush for eight yards.
ImpactHatcher was nothing short of perfect in relief of James Blackman on Saturday, at one point leading the Red Wolves on four consecutive touchdown-scoring drives. The pivot is no stranger to splitting time (having done so with Logan Bonner last season), but it's no secret who the better option was against the Bears.

James Blackman - Unspectacular in startBlackman completed 16 of 26 passes for 169 yards in Saturday's 40-21 win over Central Arkansas. He added seven carries for 22 yards.
ImpactBlackman got the start over Layne Hatcher for the Red Wolves' season opener but might not hold onto the role for much longer. The Florida State transfer went into halftime down 7-6 and was replaced by Hatcher, who completed 12 of 12 passes for 150 yards and four touchdowns. With Memphis and Washington beckoning, Butch Jones would be well-served to nail down a starter.
