Jaron Tibbs News, Rumors, Updates - Kansas State Wildcats

Ends the scoring drought Tibbs reeled in 4 of 7 targets for 33 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-16 loss against Houston.

Impact Tibbs snapped a lengthy touchdown drought by hauling in his second score of the season and the first since Week 1. The production came after a quiet stretch, but it was encouraging to see Tibbs reemerge as a red-zone option as Kansas State searches for answers offensively.

Will be fine for Week 6 Tibbs (undisclosed) will be fine going into Week 6 against Houston, Kellis Robinett of The Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Tibbs' latest update is the most positive one possible after he left Week 4 needing help with an undisclosed injury. Fortunately for him and Kansas State, with the benefit of a bye week, he will have much-needed rest before KSU's team returns to action. In the month of September, Tibbs flashed promise with 16 receptions for 168 yards and one touchdown.

Helped off field Saturday Tibbs was helped off the field in Saturday's 31-26 loss to Cincinnati, but head coach Collin Klein didn't have any updates regarding his condition in the post-game presser, accordi...

Impact Tibbs, the leading receiver for KSU, was helped off the field with 7:55 left in the first quarter. Derrick Salley took his place and was impressive, catching seven passes for 140 yards and a touchdown but also losing a fumble. Salley should be in line for more playing time and targets if Tibbs misses time.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Emerges as Kansas State's go-to receiver Tibbs notched nine receptions (on 12 targets) for 114 yards during Saturday's 31-20 victory against Tulane.

Impact Tibbs turned in a breakout performance against Tulane, leading the Wildcats in targets and receiving production. In a game where Avery Johnson was dominant on the ground, Tibbs still managed to command a significant share of the passing offense. What's interesting is that the target distribution flipped. Through the first two weeks, Josh Manning had looked like Kansas State's top receiver, but he saw just one target against Tulane while Tibbs became the focal point of the aerial attack. Going forward, Tibbs is trending up as the safest fantasy receiver in the offense. The challenge remains Kansas State's run-heavy identity, but a nine-catch, 114-yard performance is hard to ignore heading into Big 12 play.

Avery Johnson's all-around game leads K-State past Tulane 31-20 for 3-0 start

Remains in the mix Tibbs notched two receptions (on five targets) for nine yards during Saturday's 34-7 victory versus Washington State.

Impact Tibbs didn't produce the same eye-catching target numbers as Josh Manning, but it's far too early to draw firm conclusions about the pecking order in the Wildcats' receiving room. Manning's breakout was the biggest takeaway from the game, but Tibbs remains an important piece of the offense and has the talent to emerge as Kansas State's top fantasy receiver as the season develops. For now, fantasy managers should view this as a positive sign for the passing game overall rather than a definitive changing of the guard.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Opens the season with a score Tibbs recorded four receptions (on five targets) for 39 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 71-3 victory against Nicholls State.

Impact Tibbs wasted little time making an impact, catching a seven-yard touchdown pass from Avery Johnson on Kansas State's opening drive of the season. In an offense that spread production across multiple playmakers, Tibbs still managed to leave his mark early and should remain part of the Wildcats' deep receiving rotation moving forward.

Records team-high seven targets Tibbs accrued four receptions (on seven targets) for 55 yards during Saturday's 24-14 win over Colorado.

Impact Tibbs was the leading receiver for the Wildcats in a game that didn't see a lot of passing. The contest started with some snow and Kansas State decided to lean heavily on their running game. RB Joe Jackson has combined for 435 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground in their last two games. With the win against Colorado, Kansas State is now bowl-eligible, and Tibbs will have one more game in his 2025 campaign.

Double-digit targets in wild loss Tibbs posted six receptions (on 10 targets) for 45 yards during Saturday's 51-47 loss against Utah.

Impact Tibbs posted double-digit targets for the third time this season. With number one wideout Jayce Brown out for the season, it makes sense that Tibbs saw double-digit targets for the first time since Week 6 at Baylor. Tibbs is now the number one wideout for the team and has at least two catches in seven straight games. Kansas State leaned heavily on their run game with great success against Utah as QB Avery Johnson continues to struggle with accuracy. Kansas State has an excellent matchup with Colorado to end the regular season.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Seven targets in slugfest Tibbs gathered in 2 of 7 targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 14-6 victory over Oklahoma State.

Impact Tibbs led the way for the Wildcats with seven targets, his sixth straight game with at least five targets. He's likely due for even more targets as WR Jayce Brown sustained a serious arm injury that will keep him out the rest of the year. Tibbs has been a possession receiver for the Wildcats with 37 catches (on 65 targets) for 495 yards and three touchdowns. If Kansas State is going to compete with Utah next week, they'll need Tibbs to step up.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Five targets in loss Tibbs caught 3 of 5 targets for 54 yards during Saturday's 43-20 defeat against Texas Tech.

Impact Tibbs recorded at least five targets in his fifth straight game. He's received a healthy dose of opportunities this year which has allowed him to average 3.9 catches per game (on 6.4 targets per game). His ceiling has been low at 50.8 receiving yards per game and just three touchdowns across nine games. Kansas State should have an easier time moving the ball versus Oklahoma State next week.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs third TD in 2025 season Tibbs notched two receptions (on five targets) for 43 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-17 win versus Kansas.

Impact Tibbs grabbed his third touchdown of the season which is a career-high for the transfer receiver. He has at least five targets in seven of eight games this year and is a pivotal piece in the Wildcats' offense. Jayce Brown is more of the home-run threat while Tibbs plays more of a possession receiver role with more targets. Kansas State will need both Tibbs and Brown to play well if they're going to compete with Texas Tech next week.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hauls in three catches in win Tibbs caught 3 of 5 targets for 51 yards during Saturday's 41-28 win over TCU.

Impact Tibbs has at least five targets in six of seven games this year. In that one game where he didn't have five targets, he had four targets at Arizona in Week 3. With that many opportunities, it's a bit surprising that he has just two touchdowns on the year. QB Avery Johnson has made an effort to throw the ball more in 2025, so there's a good chance Tibbs is a candidate to score when the team plays at Kansas in Week 9.

OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Six grabs and 80 yards in loss Tibbs notched six receptions (on nine targets) for 80 yards during Saturday's 35-34 defeat versus Baylor.

Impact Tibbs has received at least four targets in all six games this year. He's been the team's possession receiver while Jayce Brown has been the explosive playmaker on the outside. Tibbs has seen an uptick in work over the last two weeks with 14 catches (on 19 targets) for 152 yards. That type of volume suggests a touchdown or two is coming and it could come as early as this week against TCU.

OCTOBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Receives season-high 10 targets Tibbs hauled in 8 of 10 targets for 72 yards during Saturday's 34-20 victory against UCF.

Impact Tibbs stepped up against UCF with Kansas State dealing with a multitude of injuries at the WR position. Both Jayce Brown and Jerand Bradley are dealing with some ailments which helped Tibbs post the season-high 10 targets. If those injuries continue, Tibbs is an intriguing option at Baylor next week. The transfer receiver has 21 grabs (on 32 targets) for 229 yards and two touchdowns through five games.

Nabs TD in back-to-back weeks Tibbs logged five receptions (on six targets) for 61 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-21 defeat versus Army.

Impact Tibbs has recorded touchdowns in back-to-back performances for the Wildcats. He accounted for the only offensive touchdown for Kansas State against Army. With Kansas State's defense struggling mightily during the first three games of the season, it's likely Tibbs continues to see significant targets. They'll play at Arizona on Friday Night next week.

Grabs first TD with Wildcats Tibbs recorded three receptions (on seven targets) for 55 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-35 win against North Dakota.

Impact Tibbs, a Purdue transfer, grabbed his first touchdown with the Wildcats. His seven targets tied Jerand Bradley for second on the team as Jayce Brown led the way with an eye-popping 16 targets. It's clear that the Wildcats need to throw the ball more than they have in the past as Avery Johnson surpassed 300 passing yards in a single game for the first time in his career. That sets up well for Tibbs who could have increased opportunities when Brown goes up against tougher cornerbacks. Kansas State will play Army next week.

AUGUST 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four catches in season debut Tibbs compiled four receptions (on five targets) for 35 yards during Saturday's 24-21 defeat versus Iowa State.

Impact Tibbs grabbed four balls in his season debut at Kansas State. The Purdue transfer had 25 grabs in 11 games last year. He's part of a talented receiver group, so QB Avery Johnson should have all the weapons he needs for a big year through the air. Kansas State plays North Dakota next week.
