Florida International Panthers News

Anthony Carrie - Not part of depth chart for Week 8 Carrie (undisclosed) has been excluded from the Panthers' depth chart before their upcoming game Tuesday against Middle Tennessee State, Kevin Barral of Fish On First reports.

Impact The fact that Carrie was not only part of the Panthers' depth chart but also is a crucial part of their running back room, it appears that he will be out for Tuesday's game with Middle Tennessee State, and that is big news. The sophomore provides the RB room with a regular backup, as he has logged double-digit carries in each of his six games this season. Ideally, the pre-game Conference USA availability report will clear matters up.

Devonte Lyons - Earns starting role Lyons has earned the starting running back job for Florida International after his recent uptick in production, Kevin Barral of The League Winners reports.

Impact Lyons has impressed recently, totaling 151 yards and a touchdown along with three receptions for 36 yards through the air across the team's last two games. Head coach Willie Simmons indicated that fellow running back Anthony Carrie will continue to have a big role moving forward, indicating that it may be more of a split backfield rather than Lyons taking over.

James Resar - Has 46 yards receiving Resar caught five passes for 46 yards against Jacksonville State on Tuesday.

Impact The tight end was quite involved in this one. Resar has had three or more catches in five games this year, but this is also his season high in terms of yards.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Maguire Anderson - Bounces back in big way Anderson caught eight passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns Tuesday against Jacksonville State.

Impact Anderson started the season hot but was held to one catch in his last game. Clearly, he bounced back here. Anderson is now over 500 yards on the season, and this is his third game with eight receptions.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Devonte Lyons - Rushes for TD Lyons ran 15 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 26 yards Tuesday against Jacksonville State.

Impact Lyons has taken over from Anthony Carrie as the lead back for the Panthers. While this is his first touchdown on the year, he's had over 85 total yards in each of his last two games.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

JJ Kohl - Throws two TDs Kohl went 24-for-38 for 278 yards and two touchdowns against Jacksonville State on Tuesday. He also ran for 16 yards.

Impact This was Kohl's best game in a few weeks, and his first game with multiple touchdowns in four outings. It's been a mixed bag for Kohl in his first season with FIU, but the gig is his, and there are some subpar defenses in his conference.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Maguire Anderson - Held to one catch Anderson caught one pass for 19 yards against NMSU on Wednesday.

Impact The quarterback play down at FIU is a concern, but that hasn't held Anderson back most weeks. Through five games he has 25 catches for 401 yards and two scores.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Devonte Lyons - Totals 88 yards Lyons ran 14 times for 78 yards and had one catch for 10 yards against NMSU on Saturday.

Impact This is the most work, and the most yardage, that Lyons has managed this season. He doesn't have a touchdown yet, though, which is certainly a concern.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Carrie - Finds end zone Carrie ran 16 times for 37 yards and a touchdown versus NMSU on Wednesday.

Impact Though he scored his first TD of the season, this was clearly not a good game for Carrie. Indeed, he has not topped 3.8 yards per carry in any game against an FBS opponent this year.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

JJ Kohl - Rough day in win Kohl went 12-for-21 for 115 yards and an interception Wednesday versus NMSU.

Impact Kohl, an App State transfer, has had one good game this season. He's got more turnovers than touchdowns and he's been under 200 yards in each of his last two games. It might be time for FIU to look elsewhere, even if it got a win thanks to NMSU's terrible offense.

Kevin Schaeffer - Active Wednesday Schaeffer (undisclosed) is available for Wednesday's game against New Mexico State.

Impact Schaeffer hasn't played this season, but that'll change Wednesday. Although the TE is set to be on the active roster in this Week 6 contest, he's not expected to have a big role in the passing attack.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle McNeal - Playing vs. NMSU McNeal (undisclosed) is available for Wednesday's game against New Mexico State.

Impact McNeal is set to return to action after missing the Week 4 matchup against LIU. The wideout has eight catches for 80 yards on 13 targets this season, and he should be a key target on offense in this matchup.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

JJ Kohl - Available Wednesday Kohl (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against New Mexico State.

Impact Kohl was deemed uncertain for Week 6 due to a knee sprain suffered in the game against LIU last week, but the star signal-caller will remain under center Wednesday. Kohl hasn't exactly turned heads with his play, though, as he's posted a 5:6 TD:INT while completing just 57.1 percent of his passes in his four starts this season.

Zach Marker - Sees a little action in Week 4 Marker went 6-for-10 for 60 yards Saturday against LIU after JJ Kohl left with a knee injury.

Impact Kohl's injury is considered minor, and he's even been labeled probable for FIU's next game, so the takeaway here is that after Kohl it is Marker who is the next man up.

Tyson Carter - Reels in TD Carter caught two passes for 54 yards and a score Saturday against LIU.

Impact This is Carter's first touchdown, and also his first game with over 50 yards. Of course, it was against an FCS team, and that likely played a role in all that.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Maguire Anderson - Lucks into TD Anderson caught three passes for 58 yards against LIU on Saturday, and he fell on a loose ball in the end zone and was credited for a rushing touchdown.

Impact Obviously, zero attempts for zero yards and one touchdown is not indicative of anything but good luck, but Anderson was solid in his typical role of catching passes. He's now closing in on 400 receiving yards, and his 24 receptions have almost matched what he did last year.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Carrie - Rushes for 71 yards Carrie ran 14 times for 71 yards against LIU on Saturday.

Impact This is Carrie's first game of the season with over 50 rushing yards, but it was against an FCS team. Plus, he still doesn't have a touchdown, which is a concern.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

JJ Kohl - Cedes playing time against LIU Kohl went 6-for-11 for 135 yards, one touchdown, and one interception Saturday against LIU.

Impact Kohl started the season strong, but he threw three picks in his last game and after scuffling against an FCS team another transfer, Zach Marker, saw some playing time. Now, Marker wasn't much better, but with a bye coming up, FIU has some thinking to do.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Ford - Logs first-ever carry Ford (undisclosed) logged one carry for 11 yards during Saturday's 20-3 win against LIU.

Impact After not playing against FBS teams South Florida, Buffalo and Florida Atlantic, Ford finally logged his first carry against a non-FCS school. Though he was limited to a single rush, it got him more than 10 yards of offense, an impressive feat for a first-time attempt. So going into October, Ford's next objective is regularly earning touches and yardage for FIU.
