Lew Nichols - Runs for 135 vs. Missouri Nichols had 19 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown, along with four catches for 40 yards, Saturday against Missouri.

Impact Kobe Lewis's absence has opened the door for Nichols to be the Chippewas' clear No. 1 back, and in the season opener he bursted through it.

Jacob Sirmon - Multiple QB to play vs. Missouri Coach Jim McElwain said there's "no doubt" multiple quarterbacks will play in Saturday's season opener against Missouri, according to Central Michigan play-by-play broadcaster Adam...

Impact No starter has been listed for the game, but the assumption is Sirmon will start followed by Daniel Richardson and possibly Tyler Pape. In any case, the Chippewas' quarterback situation doesn't look like a resevoir of fantasy production.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Pape - In the conversation to start Coach Jim McElwain said Pate has made it a three-man competition for the starting job, according to Christian Booher of CM Life.

Impact Washington transfer Jacob Sirmon and incumbent Daniel Richardson have been seen as the top two candidates to start under center for the Chippewas, and the freshman Pate has entered the conversation. Saturday's scrimmage is looking pivotal in determining who will start Sept. 4 against Missouri.

Kobe Lewis - Suffers non-contact knee injury Lewis suffered a non-contact knee injury and will undergo surgery Tuesday, Central Michigan play-by-play broadcaster Adam Jaksa reports.

Impact This is crushing news for Lewis and the Central Michigan backfield as his knee injury will require surgery just before the season gets underway. There's no word yet on whether Lewis' season is over, but he could miss significant time given the nature and timing of the injury. Lew Nichols stands to take over the No.1 spot on the depth chart while unproven backs like Darius Bracy and Marion Lukes fight for carries behind him.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Richardson - In competition for starting job Richardson and Jacob Sirmon are the top two candidate to start for the Chippewas early in fall camp, according to CM Life.

Impact Richardson, a third-year redshirt freshman now, has experience in Jim McElwain's offense (four starts last season) that may give him a leg up on Sirmon in the competition for the starting job. In any case this quarterback situation looks like it'll be fluid all season, and thus avoidable for fantasy managers. There's a down arrow next to the fantasy stock of Central Michigan's pass catchers.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Sirmon - Competing for starting job Sirmon is competing for the starting job, with Daniel Richardson as his most direct competition according to CM Life.

Impact Sirmon transferred in from Washington, joining Richardson, Tyler Pape and some others on the depth chart. It looks like the competition will come down to Sirmon and Richardson for who starts the season opener against Missouri, but this could be a fluid situation all season.
