John Alan Richter - Shines after QB1 goes down Richter was 16-for-23 passing for 227 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 30-15 defeat to Buffalo.

Impact Richter was very solid after coming in for an injured Tucker Gleason (undisclosed), producing two touchdowns in his second half tear. The sophomore quarterback's real productivity in the coming weeks will likely be based on the extremity Gleason's injury, but Richter showed either way that he can be efficient when filling in for the quarterback role.

Junior Vandeross III - Huge targets in loss Vandeross caught 8 of 11 targets for 74 yards during Saturday's 30-15 defeat to Buffalo.

Impact Vandeross was overshadowed a bit by receiver Jerjuan Newton in the tough loss, but he still commanded a high target share and produced 74 yards. The WR2 has six or more receptions in each game since Week 3 and should continue to be a product of a huge passing attack in the coming weeks.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jerjuan Newton - Two scores in loss Newton tallied seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 159 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 30-15 loss versus Buffalo.

Impact Newton was great as the evident big-play receiver against Buffalo, and he averaged 22.7 yards per reception in the matchup. The senior pass catcher found both of his scores in the second half, both on plays above 20 yards. This big-play ability keeps him extremely relevant as conference play heightens in the coming weeks.

Tucker Gleason - Leaves with injury Saturday Gleason departed Saturday's contest against Buffalo with an undisclosed injury, according to Kyle Rowland of The Toledo Blade.

Impact The injury is unclear on Gleason, though backup quarterback John Alan Richter did very well in his place while leading Toledo on a three-play, 77-yard drive. If Gleason is unable to return under center, then Richter should lead the offense the rest of the way.

Impact Shaw will miss a second consecutive game for undisclosed purposes. With Jacquez Stuart (undisclosed) also sidelined, Connor Walendzak and Sevaughn Clark should see most of the carries. Shaw's next chance to play will come Oct. 19 at Northern Illinois.

Junior Vandeross III - Six grabs against vs. Hawks Vandeross gathered in 6 of 9 targets for 57 yards during Saturday's 30-20 victory over Miami (OH).

Impact Vandeross brought in another six-catch performance like last week, and now has six or more catches in the past three games for the Rockets. The junior wide receiver still sits at the WR2 spot at this point in the season, but he should continue be a prime part of Toledo's passing game as he has been so far.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jerjuan Newton - Carries pass catchers vs. RedHawks Newton tallied eight receptions (on nine targets) for 127 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-20 win against Miami (OH).

Impact After a 23-yard off week, Newton showed why he's the number one wide receiver in Toledo's offense, with a season-high 127 yards. The senior pass catcher now has 24 grabs for 339 yards and five touchdowns on the year, and he should continue to benefit from a pass heavy offense in the coming weeks.

Tucker Gleason - Surpasses 300 yards vs. Hawks Gleason completed 27 of 38 passes for 318 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 30-20 win versus Miami (OH). He also had 14 rushes for eight yards with one...

Impact Gleason passed for above 300 yards for the first time this season but also threw two picks for the second game in a row. The junior quarterback has been able to make up for his recent picks with two touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the last two games. He's also passed for two or more touchdowns in every game this season, so the game script at least supports a solid output each week so far.
