Ashton Hollins - Out vs. Houston Hollins (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against Houtson, per Zach Fox.

Impact Hollins was spotted wearing street clothes and will be unavailable against Penn State. A previous report mentioned that the wideout was scheduled for an MRI for his injured shoulder, though there's been no indication of an official timeline. He's been a reliable target this season, hauling in 14 receptions for 202 yards and three touchdowns in three games. He will aim to return against Coastal Carolina next Saturday.

Weston Bryan - Three rushing TDs at Jacksonville State Bryan logged six rushing attempts for 27 yards during Saturday's 31-27 defeat versus Jacksonville State.

Impact Interestingly, Bryan is one of college football's most valuable backup quarterbacks based on the scheme that Georgia Southern's team runs. Last season, when GSU's offense was close to the goal line, the team sporadically had Bryan run up for yardage, using his 6-foot-3 and 245-pound profile to plow through defenses for just a slight edge. It looks like the Eagles will be more reliant on Bryan this season, and if so, make him a sneaky quarterback to add to teams. This season, the quarterback has 11 carries for 39 yards and four touchdowns without a single pass to his name.

Ashton Hollins - MRI scheduled for shoulder Hollins is expected to have undergone an MRI for his injured shoulder, Zach Fox of WTOC reports.

Impact Back in Week 3, Hollins left Georgia Southern's game at Jacksonville State in the fourth quarter. The injury to his left shoulder explains why, and an MRI was scheduled for Monday. After beginning his 2026 season with 13 receptions for 203 yards and two touchdowns across as many games, Hollins will be one whose injury status is greatly worth monitoring as GSU's team prepares for Week 4 against Houston.

David Mbadinga - Over 140 yards from scrimmage Mbadinga tallied 18 carries for 103 yards and reeled in all five targets for 40 yards during Saturday's 31-27 loss against Jacksonville State.

Impact Mbadinga didn't find the end zone in this Week 3 loss, but it wouldn't be a stretch to call him the team's most reliable offensive weapon -- especially given quarterback Max Johnson's struggles. The 18 carries, 103 rushing yards, five catches, five targets and 40 receiving yards were all season-high marks by a wide margin for Mbadinga. He should continue to see touches in the backfield after this impressive performance.

Max Johnson - Struggles in Week 3 loss Johnson was 23-for-33 passing for 187 yards and one interception during Saturday's 31-27 loss versus Jacksonville State. He also had seven rushes for 12 yards.

Impact Johnson didn't have his best performance in Week 3, posting a season-low mark in passing yards and recording his first game without a touchdown pass. While his completion percentage hovered around 70 percent, this was a disappointing performance from a fantasy perspective. Things won't get easier in Week 4 against Houston.

Terrance Gibbs - Misses another outing Gibbs (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 31-27 loss to Jacksonville State.

David Mbadinga - Two carries in season opener Mbadinga (knee) had two carries for 21 yards against Charleston Southern on Friday.

Impact Mbadinga was limited to just two carries, while players such as Terrance Gibbs (five carries, 19 yards) and Jamarian Samuel (4-46-1 rushing line) saw more work out of the backfield. Given his limited involvement, and the fact that Mbadinga played just three snaps, it remains to be seen if he'll continue as the Eagles' RB1 moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

River Helms - Three catches in season opener Helms made three catches for 30 yards against Charleston Southern on Friday.

Impact Helms logged 19 total snaps in Week 1, and he was heavily involved in the passing game after catching three targets. If he continues to show chemistry with QB1 Alex Taylor, Helms should continue to see plenty of looks in the passing game.
