Mychal Cooper - Two receptions in loss Cooper caught two passes for 30 yards against Marshall.

Impact In a Navy offense that primarily focuses on rushing the ball, it is going to be hard for the 6-foot-5 receiver to make a major fantasy impact. However, Cooper leads the team in receiving yards and appears to be the top wide out on the roster. The team faces Air Force next week.

Corey Gammage - Notches seven receptions Gammage had seven catches for 94 yards versus Navy on Saturday.

Impact Gammage was clearly targeted in the Marshall passing game this week. Opening the season with seven catches is encouraging to be sure. While he didn't score a touchdown, that may be more on quarterback Grant Wells, who should do better going forward.

Talik Keaton - Nets 100 yards Keaton caught five passes for 100 yards Saturday against Navy.

Impact Keaton and Corey Gammage are expected to vie for the lead role in this passing game. While Gammage got more receptions i this game, Keaton led the Thundering Herd in yards. Both players had good games, so nothing feels resolved but also all the information is encouraging.

Sheldon Evans - Tallies two TDs Evans rushed nine times for 27 yards and had three catches for 12 yards versus Navy on Saturday.

Impact Evans was listed as a co-starter heading into this game and was expected to see an increase in carries. Instead, he only got nine carries and 12 touches. While he found the end zone twice, Evans will need more yardage and touchdowns to really be a fantasy option.
