Michael Trigg - Observed in warmups Trigg (suspension) was observed suited up and warming up for Saturday's game against Iowa State, Royden Ogletree of KWTX reports.

Impact Trigg missed last week's game due to a suspension but his participation in warmups at least bodes well for his chances of playing in this matchup. The redshirt junior tight end has totaled 10 receptions for 109 yards and one touchdown across four games.

Kelsey Johnson - Ruled out again Johnson (undisclosed) is out versus Iowa State on Saturday, per Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune.

Impact Johnson will now miss his second straight game due to an undisclosed injury. With Michael Trigg suspended, Baylor will be without their top two tight ends for Saturday's matchup, and Matthew Klopfenstein will likely serve as the starter.

Dominic Richardson - Questionable vs. Iowa State Richardson (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Purdue's clash with Iowa State, per Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune-Harold.

Impact Richardson missed the opener but has played in every game since then. He's been a significant part of Baylor's backfield this season, running for 109 yards on 31 carries. If Richardson can't go, expect Dawson Pendergrass to handle the No. 2 running back duties for the Bears.

Dequan Finn - Out vs. Iowa State Finn (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Iowa State, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Finn is set to spend another week sidelined, meaning Sawyer Robertson will remain under center. Finn's next chance to play will come against Texas Tech on Oct. 19 following the bye week.

Dequan Finn - Not starting QB for depth chart Finn (undisclosed) is not listed as the Bears' starting quarterback for their game Saturday at Iowa State, Foster Nicholas of 247Sports reports.

Impact Even if Finn is healthy by Saturday, Baylor's depth chart not having him as a starter then seemingly assures his role has been demoted in favor of Sawyer Robertson. It is not that Finn played quite so badly, but Robertson's availability and sufficient output has made him a desirable starter in his teammate's absence.

Sawyer Robertson - QB1 of depth chart Robertson is listed as the Bears' starting quarterback for their game Saturday at Iowa State, Zach Smith of The Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Before Monday, Baylor's depth chart included Robertson and Dequan Finn as co-starters. Now, the Bears have Robertson as their lone starter, which seems to assure he will be starting moving forward. This comes off another relatively strong performance in which Robertson logged four touchdowns against BYU.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Trigg - Able to participate in practices Trigg (suspension) is able to participate in Baylor's team practices again, Foster Nicholas of 247Sports reports.

Impact Trigg being back in Baylor's team practices suggests his suspension is not long-term and that he will be available again relatively soon. Up next for Baylor is a Saturday game at Iowa State.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Trigg - DNP Saturday due to suspension Trigg did not play during Saturday's matchup against BYU after being suspended for disciplinary reasons, per Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune-Herald.

Impact Trigg was previously thought to have an undisclosed injury after not being spotted in warmups ahead of Saturday's game, but a suspension kept the redshirt junior sidelined against the Cougars. It is unclear whether the suspension will continue moving forward, so he is best viewed as questionable for next week's matchup against Iowa State until more information becomes available.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Cameron - Scores twice in loss Cameron gathered in 7 of 11 targets for 125 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 34-28 loss against Brigham Young.

Impact Cameron joined Ashtyn Hawkins as pass-catching standouts in the narrow loss to BYU. Cameron's 11 targets were tops for the team, but the split between Cameron and Hawkins appears to be fairly even at this point. As long as Sawyer Robertson remains at the helm, Cameron's fantasy value should be relatively secure.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ashtyn Hawkins - Finds paydirt in loss Hawkins logged five receptions (on eight targets) for 74 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-28 defeat to Brigham Young.

Impact With Sawyer Robertson at the helm, the fantasy fortunes of Baylor's receiving corps has ticked up considerably, and Hawkins should continue to produce as long as the Bears keep their backup in the lineup. Dequan Finn is a dual-threat who struggled before an undisclosed injury sidelined him, but Robertson has a firmer hold on the top job based on his excellent numbers.

Sawyer Robertson - Falls short after late rally Robertson was 27-for-48 passing for 324 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 34-28 defeat to Brigham Young. He also had 12 rushes for 29 yards with one t...

Impact Robertson was directing the team down the field in the final minutes, but a leaping interception from BYU's Crew Wakley ultimately sealed the win for the Cougars. Despite the loss and the team's current 2-3 record, Robertson had a solid stat line and appears to have a strong hold on the starting job over Dequan Finn. The Bears have no reason to go back to Finn at the moment, so Robertson will likely start again next week against Iowa State.

Sawyer Robertson - Starting against BYU Robertson will start under center for Baylor as they face off against BYU on Saturday, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Robertson will make another start for the Bears with Dequan Finn (undisclosed) sidelined again. The 6-foot-4 redshirt junior has looked good for Baylor this season, throwing for 396 yards (29-of-45), two touchdowns and zero interceptions across his two starts, adding on 89 yards and two scores on the ground.
