Stone Earle - Ends up not starting Earle is backing up Braylon Braxton for Thursday's game versus Georgia State, Luke Creasy of The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports.
Impact Despite taking first team reps in pregame warmups, Earle was benched Thursday for Braylon Braxton. It appears him taking first team reps was just a tactic to trick the Panthers. It's not clear yet if the Herd's move to Braxton is permanent or just for Thursday's contest.

Braylon Braxton - Starts Thursday's game Braxton is starting Thursday's game versus Georgia State, Luke Creasy of The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports.
Impact Braxton is getting his first start of the season Thursday after playing well in limited action the past two weeks. It's a surprising move given Stone Earle took first team reps in warmups, but it appears that was to trick Georgia State. Braxton has seven touchdown passes on just 41 attempts this season.

Stone Earle - In line to start Thursday Earle is getting first-team reps for Marshall ahead of its Thursday night game against Georgia Southern, Luke Creasy of The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports.
Impact Earle worked in tandem with Braylon Braxton last week, logging 97 yards and a pick. He also ran for 45 yards. It now appears as if he's reclaimed the starting spot despite the lackluster performance. Braxton could certainly play in some capacity tonight, keeping this a quarterback-by-committee situation, but Earle looks like the first gunslinger to trot onto the field for the Thundering Herd.

Christian Fitzpatrick - Leads Marshall wideouts Fitzpatrick had five receptions (on eight targets) for 49 yards during Saturday's 24-23 loss versus Georgia Southern.
Impact Fitzpatrick paced the Thundering Herd in targets, receptions and receiving yards Saturday, capitalizing on the absence of Elijah Metcalf (undisclosed). Though he should remain the team's top wide receiver, Marshall likely won't pass enough for Fitzpatrick to be a reliable fantasy option.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Toby Payne - Two catches, two scores Payne reeled in all two targets for 14 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 24-23 loss to Georgia Southern.
Impact Saturday's performance marked Payne's first game with multiple catches this season and was his first career multi-touchdown day. The tight end has scored in back-to-back games and has caught five of his seven targets for 45 yards overall.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
A.J. Turner - Nears century mark Turner accrued 14 carries for 97 yards and caught their only target for two yards during Saturday's 24-23 defeat against Georgia Southern.
Impact Turner operated as the clear No. 1 back for a second straight week, outcarrying Jordan Houston 14 to 6. He was ultra-efficient once again, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. Through six games, Turner has turned 56 rushes into 540 yards to go with three total touchdowns.

Stone Earle - Starts, works in timeshare Earle was 9-for-17 passing for 97 yards and one interception during Saturday's 24-23 loss against Georgia Southern. He also had 12 rushes for 45 yards.
Impact Earle drew the start Saturday and was under center for eight of the team's 14 drives, which was a bit of a surprise after backup Braylon Braxton led the Thundering Herd to a 52-37 win over App. State in Week 6. It's unclear if the duo will continue to split work, but they can both be avoided in fantasy.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Braylon Braxton - Doesn't start, splits work Braxton completed 9 of 12 passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 24-23 defeat versus Georgia Southern. He also had eight rushes for 36 yards.
Impact Despite accounting for 269 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns as a starter in Week 6, Marshall opted for Stone Earle under center instead of Braxton. Earle handled the first four drives, resulting in nine points before the Thundering Herd turned to Braxton for four drives as well. Braxton's four drives yielded 14 points. It's unclear if Marshall will continue to deploy a quarterback timeshare, but both Earle and Braxton can be avoided in fantasy until there's more clarity.

Christian Fitzpatrick - Uninvolved during shootout Fitzpatrick totaled one reception (on three targets) for four yards during Saturday's 52-37 win against Appalachian State.
Impact Fitzpatrick was left out of the Thundering Herd's offensive bonanza, catching just one of the three passes thrown his way. Marshall made a quarterback change ahead of the contest and the team attempted just 14 passes. The lack of passing volume is somewhat concerning for Fitzpatrick. However, he could step into a larger role while Elijah Metcalf (undisclosed) is injured.

Elijah Metcalf - Slated to miss time Metcalf (undisclosed) will miss some time with an injury, Luke Creasy of The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports.
Impact Metcalf was limited against App State, catching just one of his four targets for two yards. The Thundering Herd starting wideout is now out for the foreseeable future with an undisclosed injury, and Tychuan Chapman and Chuck Montgomery are expected to assume his slot receiver duties while he's unavailable.

A.J. Turner - Solid showing against App. State Turner posted 12 rushes for 65 yards and one touchdown and hauled in their only target for five yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-37 win over Appalachian State.
Impact Turner outcarried Jordan Houston 12 to 6, but his performance was overshadowed by a 15-carry, 140-yard day from QB Braylon Braxton. Saturday marked Turner's first game with double-digit carries, and he's up to 42 rushes for 443 yards and two scores on the year.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Chuck Montgomery - First score of 2024 Montgomery hauled in all two targets for 29 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-37 victory over Appalachian State.
Impact Montgomery had gone back-to-back games without a catch after reeling in four passes in the season opener. However, he caught both passes thrown his way Saturday, including a 26-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Jordan Houston - Houses 75-yard TD Houston had six carries for 35 yards and hauled in their only target for 75 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-37 win versus Appalachian State.
Impact Houston wasn't a featured part of the run game as A.J. Turner and QB Braylon Braxton combined to run 27 times for 205 yards. However, Houston accounted for 75 of Marshall's 129 passing yards, taking a swing pass to the house early in the second quarter. Through five games, Houston has rushed 39 times for 160 yards.

Braylon Braxton - Outstanding in win Braxton was 8-for-14 passing for 129 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 52-37 victory over Appalachian State. He also had 15 rushes for 140 yards with two touchdowns.
Impact Braxton was promoted to a starting role for Week 6 and replaced Stone Earle, who didn't throw for 180 yards in any game this season. Braxton didn't light it up as a passer either and 75 of his passing yards came on a catch-and-run TD by Jordan Houston. However, Braxton was electric as a rusher, scoring twice on the ground and totaling 140 yards. He iced the game with four minutes remaining by running in a 35-yard score. He's likely to remain Marshall's starting QB.

Impact Braxton is getting his first start of the season in place of Stone Earle. Earle has completed just about 55 percent of his passes for 537 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. Braxton, a Tulsa transfer with starting experience, is set to take over under center and could stick around as the starter with a good showing.
