Records long TD reception Eskildsen caught 1 of 3 targets for 75 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-27 loss versus Brigham Young.

Impact Eskildsen's lone catch was a big one as it went for a 75-yard touchdown and was QB Rocco Becht's only touchdown pass on the day. Becht also threw three interceptions and mostly struggled versus the Cougars. Eskildsen tends to be a boom-or-bust fantasy play because he's averaging just 4.4 targets per game. That's a lower rate than other number one receivers across the country. Iowa State tends to utilize their tight ends in the passing game more than other teams as well. Iowa State will host Arizona State next week.

Lead receiver at Cincinnati Eskildsen reeled in 8 of 11 targets for 105 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-30 loss versus Cincinnati.

Impact Eskildsen put forth a career performance against the Bearcats in the loss. It was a career-high 11 targets, and he took full advantage with his first 100-yard receiving performance. WR Chase Sowell did leave the game with an injury but was able to return which suggests Eskildsen is an important target for QB Rocco Becht regardless of whether Sowell is in the line-up or not. With the Cyclones' defense struggling of late, the Iowa State passing game is underrated in fantasy circles.

This was a bit of a surprise as transfers Chase Sowell and Xavier Townsend were expected to dominate the target share this season. It was a sloppy game with a lot of rain in Ireland, so it's hard to make a read on this particular game for the year moving forward. Iowa State will play South Dakota next week.
