Austin Reed - Expected to sit out bowl game Reed isn't expected to play in Monday's bowl game versus Old Dominion, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.
Impact If Reed is indeed not going to play, that would lead to a major change under center for the Hilltoppers' passing attack in the bowl game. Reed would finish out his senior season with 3,317 passing yards and a 31/11 TD:INT ratio over 12 games.

Dalvin Smith - Throws TD Smith caught four passes for 38 yards versus FIU on Saturday. He also threw a 32-yard touchdown.
Impact Obviously, the passing touchdown was on a gimmick play, but it still counts for fantasy purposes. Smith didn't take the step forward some envisioned this season, though injuries played a role, and he still is likely to set new highs in receptions and receiving yards.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Malachi Corley - Catches TD Corley caught six passes for 52 yards and a touchdown versus FIU on Saturday.
Impact Corley will need 37 yards in WKU's bowl game to hit 1,000 yards for a second season in a row, but he already has tied his 11 touchdowns from last year, and that's in 11 games as opposed to 14.

River Helms - DNP vs. Sam Houston Helms (undisclosed) was ruled out due to injury in Saturday's 28-23 victory over Sam Houston, The Towel Rack reports.
Impact Helms logged a season-low 29 snaps in Week 11 before sitting out the matchup against the Bearkats. The 6-foot-4 tight end has 11 receptions for 115 yards this season. His status for Saturday's matchup against Florida International remains up in the air.
NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Craig Burt Jr. - Catches TD Burt caught six passes for 54 yards and a score against Sam Houston on Saturday.
Impact This is Burt's second game in a row with a touchdown. However, those are his only two touchdowns of the year, and he only has 156 yards receiving.
NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dalvin Smith - Nets 125 yards Smith caught seven passes for 125 yards and a touchdown against Sam Houston on Saturday.
Impact There was a thought that Smith would emerge as the number-two receiver for WKU, a potentially productive role given the track record of this offense. However, this is his first 100-yard game of the year, and he only has 398 yards through nine outings.
NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Malachi Corley - Ten catches and a TD Corley caught 10 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown against Sam Houston on Saturday.
Impact This is the kind of game many expected to see more of from Corley after his big year in 2022. However, he does have 69 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns through 10 games. Most receivers would be quite happy with that.

Elijah Young - Rushes for 55 yards Young ran 15 times for 55 yards and had one catch for 20 yards against Sam Houston on Saturday.
Impact The last few weeks Young has actually given the Hilltoppers a run game. Though he didn't do great in this matchup, if he is involved against FIU in WKU's season finale, that could pay off for him.
NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Reed - Mixes good with bad against SHSU Reed went 28-for-41 for 392 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions against Sam Houston on Saturday.
Impact Well, four interceptions are always going to temper enthusiasm. On the other hand, his 392 yards and three touchdowns were beneficial, and he's now over 3,000 yards on the season with a game against FIU and likely a bowl game left.
