Tyrell Henry - Sitting out against Rutgers Henry will not take the field Saturday against Rutgers, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact Henry sustained a lower-body injury last Saturday against Purdue, and the issue will apparently cost him additional time as a result. The junior wideout hasn't made a significant impact on offense, recording his first catch of the season last week, but he had also seen time as the punt returner that last pair of games.

Rob Booker II - Still sidelined Booker (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Rutgers.

Impact It'll be the sixth straight game Booker's missed to open his freshman campaign. His next chance to suit up will come next week against Northwestern.

Bryson Green - Won't play Saturday Green (knee) won't play in Saturday's game versus Rutgers, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact Green left last week's contest against Purdue with a knee issue and was ultimately unable to rejoin the action. Unfortunately, the issue is serious enough to warrant at least another week on the sidelines, and Green will shift his focus toward a return next Saturday at Northwestern.

Cade Yacamelli - Scores first career TD Yacamelli accrued five carries for 39 yards and one touchdown and reeled in their only target for 17 yards during Saturday's 52-6 victory against Purdue.

Impact Yacamelli logged the Badgers' final touchdown with a 30-yard run early in the fourth quarter, marking his first career touchdown. The redshirt junior logged 20 carries over the first three weeks of the season, but he's seen his workload shrink over the past two games. Oklahoma transfer Tawee Walker logged 19 carries Week 6 while shouldering a bigger workload in the absence of previous c0-starter Chez Mellusi, who stepped away from the program this week to focus on his rehab from lingering injuries. Meanwhile, true freshmen Darrion Dupree and Gideon Ituka both logged seven carries. With these recent developments in the depth chart, it looks like Yacamelli likely won't have as big of a workload moving forward.

Darrion Dupree - Sees the field again Week 6 Dupree totaled seven carries for 24 yards and gathered in both of his targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 52-6 win over Purdue.

Impact Dupree logged at least six carries for the third time in the last four games. While all three of these outings came in either blowout wins or losses for the Badgers, Dupree looked like he actually climbed the depth chart Week 6, as he and fellow true freshman Gideon Ituka logged two more carries than redshirt junior Cade Yacamelli. Fifth-year senior Tawee Walker led the team with 19 carries after previous co-starter Chez Mellusi left the program this week to focus on rehabbing from lingering injuries. Duepree's additional value as a pass-catcher could vault him into the RB3 or even RB2 role moving forward.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Dilin Jones - Works in during blowout win Jones had seven carries for 65 yards during Saturday's 52-6 victory over Purdue.

Impact Jones worked during the fourth quarter of this massive second-half performance for the Badgers' offense. He also logged a team-long 47-yard carry to set up a final 26-yard field goal. The Maryland native tied with fellow true freshman Darrion Dupree for the second-most carries behind fifth-year senior Tawee Walker (19). After previous co-starter Chez Mellusi left the program this week to focus on rehabbing from lingering injuries, Ituka will likely slot in as RB3 or RB4 moving forward.

2024 Big Ten power rankings: Ohio State, Oregon set up huge showdown

Mabrey Mettauer - Makes career debut in blowout win Mettauer completed one pass for two yards during Saturday's 52-6 victory over Purdue.

Impact Mettauer took over for one offensive series late in this explosive win for the Badgers offense. Braedyn Locke has take over as the team's starting quarterback after Tyler Van Dyke went down with a torn ACL against Alabama in Week 3. The redshirt junior had a career day with 359 passing yards and three touchdowns to two interceptions Saturday to get the Badgers back above .500. While the team's offense has struggled as of late, it's unlikely that the team will make the change to a true freshman in Mettauer anytime soon.

Trech Kekahuna - Explodes in second half Saturday Kekahuna logged six receptions (on eight targets) for 134 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 52-6 victory over Purdue.

Impact Kekahuna broke out with by far the best outing of his career while facing the Boilermakers' dreadful defense. The redshirt freshman first scored early in the third quarter when he caught an intermediate pass over the middle of the field before breaking away for a 69-yard touchdown. The 5-foot-10 speedster flashed his playmaking ability again when he ran and out-and-up for a 25-yard touchdown on Wisconsin's next offensive series. Kekahuna has had a very quiet start to the year since flashing in last year's bowl win against LSU. But, he seemed to take on a bigger role Week 6 after starting slot receiver Will Pauling briefly exited with a lower-body injury in the first half. Assuming Pauling is fully healthy, it will be worth monitoring if Kekahuna sees the same target share during this coming Saturday's road game at Rutgers.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Vinny Anthony II - Catches another long TD in Week 6 Anthony gathered in two of four targets for 66 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-6 victory against Purdue.

Impact Anthony once again flashed as a much-needed vertical threat for the Badgers for the second week in a row. After hauling in a 63-yard score in last week's loss at USC, the junior wideout broke away for a 52-yard touchdown after he caught a pass around midfield of the 35-yard line in the first quarter. Anthony has still totaled just five catches on eight targets over the past two weeks, so his fantasy value will be dependent on his YAC and scoring abilities.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tawee Walker - Flourishes as RB1 against Purdue Walker notched 19 rushes for 94 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 52-6 win versus Purdue.

Impact Walker shouldered the workload for the Badgers' ground game with season-highs in carries and touchdowns against Purdue. This included rushing scores of 12, one and 17 yards. The Oklahoma transfer had been splitting carries with sixth-year senior Chez Mellusi through the first four games this season. But, Mellusi stepped away from the program this week to continue rehabbing from lingering issues that prevented him playing to his own expectations, according to Colten Bartholomew of Badger Extra. Rather than establish a new 1-2 duo, the Badgers seem set to ride Walker as a true RB1, as redshirt junior Cade Yacamelli and true freshmen Darrion Dupree and Dillin Jones logged five, seven and seven carries, respectively. Expect Walker to keep playing as the Badgers' new RB1 during this coming Saturday's road matchup against a stout Rutgers defense.

Kyan Berry-Johnson - Active Saturday Berry-Johnson (undisclosed) was active during Saturday's 52-6 rout of Purdue.

Impact Berry-Johnson was active in Week 6, making his collegiate debut with the Badgers in a blowout win. The 5-foot-10 true freshman saw seven snaps and was not targeted in the contest.

Braedyn Locke - Lights up Purdue in win Locke was 20-for-31 passing for 359 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 52-6 victory against Purdue.

Impact Locke bounced back after last week's second-half collapse against USC with a career-best outing against a reeling Purdue squad. The redshirt junior was choppy to start with two interceptions in the first half. But, he settled in and started connecting with the Badgers' most-explosive playmakers, first finding wideout Vinny Anthony over the middle of the field for a runaway 52-yard touchdown. Locke then connected on touchdowns passes of 69 and 25 yards to sophomore Trech Kekahuna in the second half. The signal-caller finished with the seventh-most single-game passing yards in Wisconsin history. However, this was still against probably the worst team in the Big Ten this season. He'll face a much stiffer defense during next week's road game at Rutgers.
