Impact Oakley posted at least four catches for the sixth time this year. He's been a productive tight end for fantasy rosters with 34 grabs (on 56 targets) for 356 yards and five touchdowns.

Kansas State will play a tough Utah defense next week.

Zero catches against Kansas Oakley totaled zero receptions (on two targets) for zero yards during Saturday's 42-17 win against Kansas.

Impact Oakley failed to record a catch for the first time this season as Kansas State didn't need his production as they ran away from in-state rival Kansas. He entered the game with 6.8 targets per game over his last four, so it was a bit of surprise to see him not have as many opportunities in this game. With a tough opponent in Texas Tech up next, expect Oakley to get back to recording catches next week.

Five catches in season opener Oakley hauled in all five targets for 62 yards during Saturday's 24-21 loss versus Iowa State.

Avery Johnson had an impressive day through the air in the second half, so it will be interesting to see what this offense can do in better conditions as it rained a lot in Dublin, Ireland. Kansas State will play North Dakota next week.
