Bounces back with 83 yard outing Barkate gathered in 8 of 12 targets for 83 yards during Saturday's 49-32 victory against Wake Forest.

Impact Barkate was completely held in check in Duke's win over UNC in Week 13, but the wideout was a big target for quarterback Darien Mensah once again as Duke clinched an ACC title game appearance by toppling Wake Forest. When Barkate gets the targets, he's more than likely to produce for the Blue Devils, and there's no reason why they shouldn't keep feeding him in Charlotte on Saturday.

Huge workload continues Sheppard posted 23 rushes for 75 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in all five targets for 60 yards during Saturday's 49-32 victory over Wake Forest.

Impact Sheppard had 28 touches against Wake Forest as Duke's offense blew past the Demon Deacons. Unsurprisingly, that led to plenty of production for the tailback, as he finished with 135 total yards and two scores. Sheppard remains one of the better true freshman in the country, and he'll look to keep it up against Virginia in the ACC title game.

Another two scores Castle tallied 12 rushes for 21 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in 2 of 3 targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 49-32 win against Wake Forest.

Impact Castle was coming off a hat trick in the Blue Devils' win over UNC in Week 13, and he followed that up with another two touchdowns even though he accumulated less than 40 total yards. Nate Sheppard remained the workhorse, and both backs scored twice as Duke had no problem slicing through Wake Forest's defense. Castle is a consistent part of this offense, but is rather touchdown-dependent for fantasy purposes.

Helps Duke clinch ACC title bid Mensah was 24-for-35 passing for 268 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 49-32 victory against Wake Forest. He also had three rushes for -12 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Mensah bounced back after two straight down weeks with another multiple touchdown outing and an efficient 68.6 percent completion clip. Duke rolled over the Demon Deacons in a high-scoring affair that clinched the Blue Devils' spot in the ACC title game on Saturday, Dec. 6, where they'll face Virginia. It's good to see Mensah back on track as he looks to help Duke capture what would be a rather shocking conference title.

Ruled out Saturday Jones (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Wake Forest.

Impact Jones is a backup alternative in the Blue Devils' backfield, so his absence won't affect the team's offensive scheme a great deal. Jones finishes the regular season with 10 carries for 34 yards across four games.

Duke vs. Wake Forest Prediction, Odds, Picks - November 29, 2025

Held in check Saturday Barkate tallied two receptions (on six targets) for 26 yards during Saturday's 32-25 win over North Carolina.

Impact Barkate had his quietest outing of the season as Duke topped UNC in a rivalry win. The wideout has been productive in Durham all season, but he wasn't a focal point of the Blue Devils' passing game against the Tar Heels, a passing game that's regressed in recent weeks. Barkate will look to resume his role as a difference-maker in Week 14 against Wake Forest.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Best outing yet vs. UNC Hasley tallied seven receptions (on nine targets) for 85 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 32-25 victory against North Carolina.

Impact Hasley's seven catches and 85 yards were both season-highs for the tight end who's gotten much more involved in the Duke passing game as of late. Over his last four games, he has 17 catches for 276 yards and two touchdowns. He'll look to continue his late-season surge against Wake Forest in Week 14.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hat trick in win Castle tallied 13 carries for 49 yards and three touchdowns and reeled in their only target for five yards during Saturday's 32-25 win over North Carolina.

Impact Duke's true freshman tailback Nate Sheppard led the way on the ground with 22 carries, but Castle hit paydirt three times for a huge outing out of nowhere, his biggest game since Week 6 against California. Castle remains unreliable for fantasy purposes, but it must've been a cathartic performance for the senior tailback who's been quiet all season.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Career-high touches vs. Tar Heels Sheppard notched 22 carries for 90 yards and gathered in their only target for 18 yards during Saturday's 32-25 win against North Carolina.

Impact Sheppard's 22 carries were six more than the true freshman's previous career high. With an 18-yard catch as well, he managed to parlay his increased touches into an over 100 all-purpose yard outing as Duke toppled the Tar Heels. Sheppard is now up to 790 rushing yards and seven touchdowns with 25 catches for 175 yards and a score as well.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check by Tar Heels Mensah was 20-for-33 passing for 175 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 32-25 victory over North Carolina. He also had three rushes for 27 yards.

Impact Mensah's play has firmly taken a step back in recent weeks. After he tossed for multiple touchdowns in each of the first nine games of the season, he has just one passing touchdown in each of his last two games and his efficiency has tumbled as well, as he's completing just 55.9 percent of his passes in that span. Mensah will look to close out the regular season on a high note next week against Wake Forest.

Out at UNC Anthony (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at North Carolina.

Impact Anthony will miss his first showing of the season after popping up on the injury report this week. The 6-foot-1 wide receiver will now aim for a return next Saturday against Wake Forest. He's brought in 26 catches for 246 yards and five touchdowns this season.
