Montana Lemonious-Craig - Records sole touchdown catchLemoious-Craig caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 35-7 win over Northern Colorado.
ImpactThe freshman's playing time was no surprise, as the team often delved deep into their depth chart during this tune-up game. His 17-yard catch was impressive, and Brandon Lewis looked his way several times. Although Colorado is a run-first team, his performance could shake things up on the depth chart.

Alex Fontenot - Strong showing in opening gameFontenot rushed eight times for 40 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 35-7 win over Northern Colorado. He also caught one pass for two yards.
ImpactA cavalcade of backs made appearances in this decisive win, but Fontenot's night was the most encouraging, as the junior missed all of the 2020 season due to injury. Although guys like Ashaad Clayton and Deion Smith could push him for time, he is the front runner to spell Jarek Broussard.

Jarek Broussard - Logs 94 yards and a score in winBroussard rushed 15 times for 94 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 35-7 win over Northern Colorado. He also caught one pass for seven yards.
ImpactAgainst tougher opponents, you can expect to see Broussard as the bell-cow back, but with the game well in hand. Broussard shared the wealth with four other running backs, three of whom scored. He should be heavily utilized against Texas A&M in Week 2.

Brendon Lewis - Efficient in decisive winLewis completed 10 of 15 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 35-7 win over Northern Colorado. He also rushed eight times for 44 yards.
ImpactIn true Colorado fashion, the rushing attack ruled the day in the victory. Lewis made no mistakes and handed the ball off to his playmakers, who had a scoring bonanza out of the backfield. Lewis is never going to wow you with stats due to the Buffaloes' offensive scheme, although he will pull off a rushing touchdown here and there. For fantasy purposes, he's a last resort on the waiver wire.
