Draws praise in offseason Duff was highlighted as "one of the top receivers in the nation" ahead of the 2026 season, according to Yogi Roth of The Y-Option Podcast.

Impact Roth called the Rutgers wideout a top threat in the passing game, citing his 6-foot-6 frame, ball skills and playmaking ability. Dudd caught 60 passes for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Increased attention could keep him on the radar in deeper college fantasy formats.

Records catch of the year in loss Duff hauled in all five targets for 127 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-36 loss versus Penn State.

Impact Duff reeled in an impossible one-handed catch that should top the season's highlight drills, and although the sophomore can't join the NFL ranks yet, he certainly added a doozy to his resume. Dudd caught 60 passes for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns this season, and it's possible that two years at Rutgers might be enough for Duff. He'd be highly sought after if he entered the portal, and his situation fits the profile of a player who could raise his national profile and NIL earnings with a better team.

Impact Rutgers' wideouts struggled along with their quarterback in the blowout loss. Duff turned in his lowest recieving total of the season.

Duff's size and speed have the makings of star material, but he needs a better team to realize his full potential.

Impact Duff's totals regressed in the victory, as most of Athan Kaliakmanis' passes went in Ian Strong's direction.

Impact Duff joined the rest of his wideout teammates with a low total due to Athan Kaliakmanis' struggles against Oregon. Although Rutgers' current record isn't great, the passing offense will often be playing from behind and can be productive on a weekly basis. Duff and his counterparts should have a much easier time against Purdue this week.

All three of the receivers have fantasy relevancy despite Rutgers' lack of wins, and although Duff had his lowest reception total of the year, he hauled in his fourth touchdown of the season and leads all Rutgers receivers in that category.
