Michael Phoenix II - Finds end zonePhoenix can two passes for 56 yards and a touchdown Wednesday against WKU.
Jay Ducker - Struggles on the groundDucker ran six times for 17 yards but had two catches for 34 yards versus WKU on Thursday.
ImpactDucker struggled on the ground, but on the season he has averaged 5.1 yards per carry. In 2021, before a couple years of injury issues, he averaged 5.4 yards per tote with Northern Illinois. Ducker should be fine, especially if he can add some catches into the mix.

ImpactJase Bauer stepped in, struggled a bit, and the Bearkats ended up losing. If Watson is able to go against FIU next week he will assuredly be the starter, though he may not be as strong in the run game as usual.

Kisean Johnson - Surprisingly little workJohnson caught three passes for 19 yards against Sam Houston on Wednesday.
ImpactJohnson had been on a tear that led to him emerging as the top receiver for the Hilltoppers. He was only targeted five times in this game, a low for him on the season, but this could just be a fluke. When Johnson plays against Kennesaw State in WKU's next game things should pick back up.

ImpactThe tight end has 19 catches for 228 yards and two touchdowns through seven games. He's going to beat his numbers from last year, but he's also not the most prolific of tight ends.
