Dean Connors - Lone bright spot in loss Connors logged 11 carries for 32 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 33-7 defeat against Houston.

Impact Despite the team's loss, Connors had a decent outing that was saved by a four-yard touchdown run with one minute left in the game. He continued to be productive in the passing game too as he caught five passes, bringing him up to 18 through three games. Although the Rice offense has not looked great through three weeks, Connors has proved his ability to produce even when the rest of his team doesn't.

E.J. Warner - Struggles in blowout loss Warner was 12-for-21 passing for 50 yards and one interception during Saturday's 33-7 loss to Houston.

Impact Warner had an extremely rough outing Saturday as he threw for just 50 yards and threw his fourth interception of the season. He was benched for the last two drives and backup Drew Devillier led a touchdown drive at the end of the game. While Warner will almost certainly keep the starting job, it was a very concerning outing for him.

Landon Ransom-Goelz - DNP Week 3 Ransom-Goelz (undisclosed) did not appear in Saturday's 33-7 loss against Houston.

Impact Ransom-Goelz continued to sit out with an undisclosed injury as the Owls were defeated by the Cougars. The 6-foot sophomore tallied 26 receptions for 380 yards and three touchdowns with Rice last season, and he was expected to play a big role in the Owls' passing game this year. Ransom-Goelz's next opportunity to return will come against Army on Sept. 21, but his expected availability is unknown.

Braylen Walker - Scores versus Texas Southern Walker totaled four receptions (on five targets) for 47 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 69-7 victory against Texas Southern.

Impact Walker scored a four-yard touchdown Saturday, his first touchdown since Week 3 of last season which also came against Texas Southern. He now has 12 targets through two weeks, a sign that E.J. Warner has developed a trust with him. He faces a more difficult matchup Saturday at Houston, although there may be lots of opportunities for him given the Owls will likely need to throw the ball a lot.

Matt Sykes - Scores in blowout win Sykes tallied two receptions (on five targets) for 47 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 69-7 win over Texas Southern.

Impact Sykes scored a 34-yard touchdown in Saturday's win, his first touchdown since the 2022 season as a UCLA player. He was targeted five times for the second consecutive week, a sign that E.J. Warner has developed some trust with Sykes. He will likely have more opportunities Saturday at Houston given the Owls will likely need to throw the ball early and often.

Coleman Bennett - Scores in blowout win Bennett logged two carries for 28 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 69-7 victory against Texas Southern.

Impact Bennett received two touches late in Saturday's blowout win and took one of them for a 22-yard touchdown. It was a nice moment for the former Bucknell running back, but he's unlikely to see much playing time moving forward.

Taji Atkins - Breaks out in Saturday's win Atkins tallied 11 rushes for 91 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 69-7 win versus Texas Southern.

Impact Atkins, a true freshman, led the Owls in rushing attempts Saturday and scored a pair of touchdown in the blowout win. All of his work came with the game firmly out of hand, but it was still great to see what he is capable of. It's unclear where he stands in the running back room moving forward, but more likely than not he will rarely see the field barring a blowout.

Dean Connors - Excellent in Saturday's blowout win Connors totaled nine rushes for 113 yards and three touchdowns and caught 4 of 6 targets for 34 yards during Saturday's 69-7 win over Texas Southern.

Impact Connors scored a hat-trick of rushing touchdowns Saturday, including a 71-yard run early in the third quarter. He rushed just nine times in the blowout as the team opted to save his legs for more important moments. He also was targeted six times in the passing game and added 34 yards through the air, a feature of his game that makes his fantasy upside extremely high.

Impact Warner did not have to be great in Saturday's blowout win, but he still threw for nearly 200 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw an interception, something he has done in nine of his 12 starts since the beginning of the 2023 season. He faces a more difficult matchup this Saturday at Houston, a game where he will likely have to throw the ball quite a bit.
