Vince Benetti - Continues to find the end zone Benetti totaled one reception (on two targets) for nine yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-31 loss against Baylor.

Impact Benetti caught a nine-yard touchdown pass from Jaylen Raynor early in the fourth quarter, giving the Cyclones some life as they attempted to rally from a multi-score deficit. The touchdown was already his fourth of the season, and he remains one of Raynor's preferred red-zone options despite seeing limited targets from week to week. While the target floor may cap his upside, his ability to consistently find the end zone keeps him relevant in fantasy formats taht require a tight end.

Cameron Pettaway - Keeps emerging as receiving threat Pettaway had zero rushes and gathered in 2 of 5 targets for 52 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-31 loss versus Baylor.

Impact Pettaway continued his recent surge in the passing game, catching a 50-yard touchdown pass from Jaylen Raynor. He's becoming an increasingly interesting complementary piece alongside Aiden Flora. Back-to-back touchdown receptions and a season-high target total suggest the coaching staff is finding more ways to get him involved.

Omari Hayes - Sees his biggest workload in weeks Hayes gathered in 3 of 6 targets for 28 yards during Saturday's 42-31 defeat to Baylor.

Impact Hayes' production wasn't as explosive as some of the Cyclones' other skill players, however, the opportunity was notable, as it marked his highest target total since he saw nine targets against Utah back in Week 4. If QB Jaylen Raynor's recent surge of strong play continues, Hayes could have a chance to regain some of the consistency he showed earlier in the year.

Jamal Polite Jr. - Remains involved after his breakout Polite caught 3 of 5 targets for 35 yards during Saturday's 42-31 defeat against Baylor.

Impact Polite wasn't able to replicate the explosive breakout he enjoyed against Oklahoma State, but he remained a meaningful part of the offense. The true freshman saw at least five targets for the third consecutive game, continuing a recent trend of increased involvement in the passing attack as QB Jaylen Raynor grows more comfortable looking his way.

Aiden Flora - Keeps churning out big plays Flora totaled 26 rushes for 182 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all four targets for 20 yards during Saturday's 42-31 defeat against Baylor.

Impact Flora surpassed 1,000 rushing yards on the season while recording his fourth 100-yard rushing performance, highlighted by a 40-yard touchdown run that helped the Cyclones build an early lead. Flora has become one of the best stories in the country. His combination of volume and home-run ability has turned him into one of the Big 12's premier backs, and he's consistently producing chunk plays that few defenders can stop once he reaches the second level. With four 100-yard games and a growing collection of long touchdown runs, Flora has established himself as a weekly fantasy star and the centerpiece of Iowa State's offense.

Jaylen Raynor - Continues his late-season surge Raynor was 22-for-37 passing for 256 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-31 defeat to Baylor. He also had 12 rushes for 23 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Raynor helped the Cyclones build and early lead and accounted for three total touchdowns, including a 50-yard scoring strike to Cameron Pettaway and a late rushing touchdown. Raynor is quietly putting together an impressive finish to the season. After his four-touchdown explosion against Oklahoma State, he followed it up with another three-touchdown performance and now has seven total touchdowns against just one turnover over his last two games. The efficiency and playmaking ability are beginning to match the talent that made him such an intriguing transfer, and he enters the final weeks of the season with plenty of momentum.

Connor Moberly - Set to miss about a month Moberly (undisclosed) is primed to miss "about four weeks" according to head coach Jimmy Rogers, per Cyclone Fanatic.

Impact Moberly got hurt in the second half of the Week 8 loss against Arizona, and didn't play in the Cyclones' upset win over Oklahoma State in Week 10. Jaylen Raynor should remain Iowa State's starter, but it'll be without the backup Mobley until the end of the season.

Kyle Konrardy - Delivers the biggest kick of the season Konrardy made 3 of 3 field goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries during Saturday's 51-49 victory versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Konrardy played the hero in Iowa State's upset of Oklahoma State, drilling a 34-yard field goal as time expired to cap one of the wildest games of the college football season. He connected on a season-high three field goals, consistently cashing in on scoring opportunities in a game where every point proved critical. For fantasy managers, it was the perfect example of why reliable kickers attached to competent offenses can still make a difference.

Jamal Polite Jr. - Breakout game in upset of Cowboys Polite hauled in 6 of 10 targets for 171 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 51-49 win against Oklahoma State.

Impact Polite put together a breakout performance against the Cowboys. The true freshman led the team with 10 targets, and it was his first 100-yard game and easily the most productive outing of his young career. More importantly, this performance felt like a coming-out party rather than a fluke. Polite had already shown flashes with increasing target volume in recent weeks, but this was the first time everything came together. He was not only Iowa State's most productive receiver, but he also delivered the critical 33-yard catch that helped set up the game-winning field goal in the closing seconds. If this usage continues, Polite has the talent and opportunity to finish the season as one of the breakout receivers in the Big 12.

Cameron Pettaway - Makes his single touch count Pettaway had zero carries and hauled in his only target for 40 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 51-49 win against Oklahoma State.

Impact Pettaway played a complementary role in the thrilling upset, but he still delivered one of the game's biggest plays. He hauled in the 40-yard touchdown reception from Jaylen Raynor, providing a key explosive play for a Cyclones offense that suddenly looked nothing like the unit that scored only three points the week before against Arizona.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Aiden Flora - Breakout season reaches another level Flora totaled 29 carries for 221 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 51-49 win against Oklahoma State.

Impact Flora continued one of the best surprise stories in college football with a dominant performance against Oklahoma State. His afternoon included a 75-yard touchdown run and several other chunk gains that helped Iowa State keep pace in a game that turned into an all-out shootout. The outing marked Flora's second 200-yard rushing game of the season, an incredible accomplishment for a player who has emerged from relative obscurity into one of the Big 12's most productive backs. At this point, Flora is more than a feel-good story. He's become the heart and soul of Iowa State's offense and one of the conference's most dangerous runners. Between his consistency, breakaway ability, and growing workload, Flora has transformed into a legitimate fantasy star and a major reason the Cyclones remain capable of pulling off upsets against top competition.

Jaylen Raynor - Responds in a big way Raynor was 18-for-28 passing for 309 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 51-49 victory over Oklahoma State. He also had 12 rushes for 48 yards with one t...

Impact Raynor couldn't have scripted a better response after one of the most disappointing performances of his career a week earlier. After being benched during Iowa State's blowout loss to Arizona, Raynor accounted for four total touchdowns while leading one of the nation's highest-scoring offenses of the week. From a fantasy standpoint, this was a reminder of Raynor's upside when everything is clicking around him. After looking completely overwhelmed against Arizona, Raynor answered with one of the best performances of his Iowa State career and reestablished himself as the unquestioned leader of the Cyclones' offense.
