Stays busy in defeat Flora accrued 13 rushes for 54 yards and caught 5 of 8 targets for 53 yards during Saturday's 31-17 defeat versus Utah.

Impact Flora followed up last week's breakout performance with another heavy workload against Utah, handling 13 carries while adding five receptions through the air. The receiving usage was especially encouraging, as both his five catches and eight targets were career highs, showing Iowa State is increasingly looking to get the ball in his hands as a runner and receiver. Even in a tough matchup, Flora's volume remained intact, which is exactly what fantasy managers want to see heading into the middle of conference play.

Announces himself as Iowa State's RB1 Flora notched 12 carries for 194 yards and two touchdowns and caught all two targets for 10 yards during Saturday's 55-7 win versus Bowling Green.

Impact Flora erupted in Iowa State's blowout win, notching a 100-yard rushing performance while adding a punt-return touchdown for good measure. His scoring runs of 61 and 42 yards highlighted the game-breaking speed that fantasy managers have been waiting to see. More importantly, the breakout wasn't completely out of nowhere. Flora has now seen solid opportunities in back-to-back games, and his role in the offense appears to be expanding. Iowa State leaned heavily on the ground game against Bowling Green, and Flora was clearly the most explosive option in the backfield. He's quickly becoming one of the most intriguing running backs in the Big 12 thanks to his big-play ability and growing workload. That said, managers should be careful not to expect another monster stat line next week. Iowa State draws Utah, a defense that just shut out Utah State 33-0 and has allowed only 2.3 yards per carry over its last two games. Flora remains a must-start option, but a much tougher test is coming.

Bounces back in rivalry battle Flora posted 19 carries for 89 yards and gathered in his only target for three yards during Saturday's 16-13 defeat against Iowa.

Impact Flora rebounded nicely after cramping issues limited him in Week 1, turning in a much stronger effort against Iowa in a hard-fought rivalry game. The encouraging takeaway for fantasy managers is that Flora appeared healthy and handled a meaningful workload against one of the tougher defenses he'll face all season. Flora should remain Iowa State's top fantasy back and is well-positioned for better production as the schedule eases up.

Dealt with cramps in Week 1 Flora was helped off the field with cramps in Iowa State's Week 1 win over Southeast Missouri, per Alec Busse of 247Sports.

Impact Flora was helped off the field in the opener, but the tailback was reportedly just cramping up; it's not an ailment that should elicit serious concern. Thus, the Cyclones' starting running back should be considered probable for the Cy-Hawk game Saturday night.

Helped off field in Week 1 Flora (undisclosed) was helped off the field in Iowa State's clash with Southeast Missouri, per Shannon Ehrhardt of KCCI News.

Impact Flora was seen chugging gatorade and working with a massage gun, which indicates the tailback could be dealing with a cramp. Still, in what appears to be a dominant Iowa State victory, he may not return to the field regardless. Flora has seven carries for 45 yards and a score with a lost fumble to boot before he was taken out of the game.

In line for starting role Flora looks like Iowa State's starting tailback, per Bill Seals of Cyclone Report.

Impact Flora has been stuck behind talented veterans Carson Hansen and Abu Sama for the duration of his Cyclones career, but the tailback finally looks primed for a starting role. He only saw six touches last season, notching four carries for 58 yards and score with two catches for 25 yards to boot. Still, expect him to take the first carry against Southeast Missouri on Sept. 5 and to lead the Cyclones' backfield throughout the season.
