New Mexico State Aggies News

AJ Williams III - Massive game in loss Williams caught eight passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns against Liberty on Saturday.

Impact This was certainly a surprise. Prior to this Williams hadn't topped three catches or 54 yards in a game. That being said, TK King is banged up, and that could mean a larger role for Williams.

James Jones - Finally held in check Jones ran 15 times for 51 yards and lost a fumble against Liberty on Saturday.

Impact Liberty is pretty clearly the best defense in Conference USA, and it proved to be the Kryptonite for Jones. However, he still has 940 rushing yards on the season, and he's still averaged 6.1 yards per carry. The rest of the season should go better.

Trey Harris - Throws two TDs, two INTs Hedden went 19-for-29 for 256 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against Liberty on Saturday.

Impact Hedden began the season as the starter, but lost his job. He got it back this week because nobody else merited it, and the Aggies got what was to be expected. This is his third game with multiple interceptions, and NMSU is now 3-6 on the season.

TK King - Deemed unavailable versus Liberty King (undisclosed) won't be available for Saturday's game versus Liberty, per the Conference USA availability report.

Impact King was considered uncertain to play in Week 10, but in the end, the wideout has been ruled out. His absence will leave a huge void in New Mexico State's passing game, as he has racked up 23 catches for 307 yards and three scores this season. With King sidelined, expect AJ Williams and Brodie Malone-Bradford to have bigger roles.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Josiah Thomas - Unavailable for Week 10 Thomas (undisclosed) won't be available for Saturday's contest versus Liberty, per the Conference USA availability report.

Impact Thomas will miss a second consecutive game as he continues to battle an undisclosed injury. He has caught 17 passes for 214 yards across seven outings this season, and Carson Su'esu'e and Jerry Lydiatt will likely see increased playing time in his absence.

TJ Washington Jr. - Rushing for 70 yards Washington ran 10 times for 70 yards against Jacksonville State on Wednesday.

Impact Washington is backing up James Jones, but the passing game for the Aggies is so bad he's still needed. He's gotten double-digit carries in each of his last two games, though this is his first game with over 50 rushing yards.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

James Jones - Another 100-yard game Jones ran 20 times for 112 yards versus Jacksonville State on Wednesday.

Impact It's impressive how good Jones has been with no passing game to take pressure off of him. This is his fifth game in a row with over 110 yards rushing, and he has five touchdowns on the campaign.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Damante - Horrendous game at home Damante went 6-for-19 for 29 yards and an interception against Jacksonville State on Wednesday.

Impact Damante didn't have the job when the season started, as Trey Hedden was under center. Well, this game was bad enough Damante might be back on the bench in Week 10.

Creel's career-high 211 yards rushing, TD lead Jacksonville State's route of New Mexico State 24-0

Quarterback Caden Creel rushed for a career-high 211 yards and a touchdown as Jacksonville State shut out New Mexico State 24-0 on Wednesday night

OCTOBER 29 • Associated Press

TK King - Deemed unavailable versus Jacksonville State King will be unavailable for Wednesday's clash with Jacksonville State, per the Conference USA availability report.

Impact This is a huge loss for New Mexico State, as King is the team's undisputed No. 1 receiver and has racked up 23 catches for 307 yards and three scores on the season. With King sidelined, expect AJ Williams and Brodie Malone-Bradford to have bigger roles, while Lyndon Ravare and Terrione Graves could see more playing time as well.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Josiah Thomas - Not playing Wednesday Thomas has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest versus Jacksonville State, per the Conference USA availability report.

Impact Thomas is the No. 1 option at TE and has notched 17 catches for 214 yards this season while averaging 12.6 yards per catch. His absence is a huge blow for NMSU, and it'll lead to Carson Su'esu'e and Jerry Lydiatt having bigger roles in the passing game.

AJ Williams III - Catches two TDs Williams caught three passes for 52 yards and two touchdowns against Sam Houston on Wednesday, but he also lost a fumble.

Impact Two touchdowns is impressive, but prior to this Williams only had one TD, and it was against Mercyhurst.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

TJ Washington Jr. - Rushes for TD Washington ran 12 times for 40 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 17 yards Wednesday versus Sam Houston.

Impact Unfortunately for Washington, he transferred down to NMSU from Iowa in hopes of a bigger role. He has a bigger role, but he's also decidedly behind Delaware State transfer James Jones in the pecking order. Washington's potential comes from the fact the passing game is so poor for the Aggies it makes sense to give multiple backs double-digit carries whenever possible.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

James Jones - Shoulders the load in win Jones ran 27 times for 178 yards and a touchdown against Sam Houston on Wednesday.

Impact Jones is the driving force of the Aggies offense, but this was his biggest workload yet. It panned out, of course, with this being Jones' fourth game with over 100 yards, and his second with over 150 yards.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Damante - Throws two TDs, INT Damante went 19-for-29 for 160 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against Sam Houston on Wednesday.

Impact The Aggies have seemingly determined Damante is the guy to handle the quarterback position, though his output is not exactly exciting. Even in this win his numbers were not remarkable as far as fantasy-related matters are concerned.

TK King - No catches, not his fault King had zero catches on six targets Wednesday at Florida International.

Impact King did pick up 48 yards in kick returns, as the FIU kicker was more accurate than the NMSU quarterbacks. What's remarkable is how well King has done this season given how bad his QB play has been.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

James Jones - Over 100 total yards Jones ran 15 times for 89 yards and caught three passes for 19 yards Wednesday against FIU.

Impact It's remarkable how successful Jones has been given how bad NMSU's passing game is. Without anybody to take the pressure off him, Jones has rushed for 599 yards, and he's totaled four touchdowns.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Trey Harris - Gets back on field, plays terribly Hedden went 2-for-8 for 19 yards and an interception against FIU on Wednesday, and he also lost a fumble.

Impact While QBR is not a fantasy-related stat, Hedden had a 0.1 QBR in this game. Hedden, a Furman transfer, is simply not cut out for FBS football, and the sooner NMSU accepts that, the better.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Damante - Flops at FIU Damante went 9-for-22 for 104 yards and an interception against FIU on Wednesday.

Impact Damante managed to win the starting job away from Trey Hedden, but he was so bad in this game that Hedden got back on the field. Fortunately for Damante, and unfortunately for NMSU, Hedden was even worse in this one.
