Impact Gardner stepped up in a big way Saturday, as he and TJ McDaniel combined for 196 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. The Kansas transfer saw an extended role with usual starter Tre Siggers (groin) out due to a minor groin injury. He will likely revert to more of a complimentary role with Siggers expected to suit up again against Maryland.

TJ McDaniel - Paces backfield Saturday McDaniel had 13 carries for 96 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 45-16 win over Lamar on Saturday.

The third-year back has shown some great rushing prowess through the first two games this season, with 19 carries for 137 yards, which is good for 7.2 yards per carry. Siggers is expected back this weekend, which will push McDaniel back into a lesser role.

Preston Stone - Set to back up Mordecai Stone will open the season as Tanner Mordecai's backup, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact SMU has ended its quarterback competition for the time being as the season approaches and the new coaching staff will stick with Mordecai behind center. Coach Rhett Lashlee stated that Stone will still have a role so he could see more series than most backups, but that likely won't be enough to put him on the fantasy radar as long as Mordecai is performing at a high level.

Tanner Mordecai - Wins starting job Mordecai was named the starting quarterback for SMU on Friday, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact After battling with Preston Stone throughout the offseason, Mordecai has fended off the highly touted recruit to retain the starting role for SMU despite the coaching change. Mordecai played in 12 games last season and completed 67.8 percent of his passes for 3,628 yards and 39 touchdowns. New coach Rhett Lashlee stated that Stone will still play this season, which is something to note for fantasy managers as Mordecai could cede some snaps to his backup beyond just garbage time. Still, Mordecai is positioned to post fantasy-relevant production at the helm of SMU's explosive offense.
