Jerand Bradley - Seven targets in comeback win Bradley posted five receptions (on seven targets) for 46 yards during Saturday's 38-35 win over North Dakota.
Impact Bradley garnered seven targets which ranked second on the team against North Dakota. Jayce Brown led the way with an astonishing 16 targets while teammate Jaron Tibbs also had seven targets. QB Avery Johnson is embracing the pass-game as he had over 300 passing yards in a single game for the first time in his career. It's possible that Kansas State will be able to support multiple receivers for fantasy rosters which is a change from historical norms. Kansas State will play Army next week.

Jaron Tibbs - 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.

Jayce Brown - Big performance in comeback win Brown hauled in 12 of 16 targets for 109 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-35 victory against North Dakota.
Impact Brown is clearly QB Avery Johnson's favorite target as his 16 targets outpaced the rest of the Wildcats by quite a bit. Teammates Jaron Tibbs and Jerand Bradley both saw seven targets a piece. Brown's 12 catches were the most by a Wildcat since Tyler Lockett during the 2014 season. That's good company to be in and it also signals that there's a different kind of offense at Kansas State so far this season. This offense is passing the ball a lot more as Avery Johnson surpassed 300 passing yards for the first time in his career against North Dakota. That sets up well for Brown who is well on pace for a 1,000-yard receiving season.

Joe Jackson - Catches game-winning TD Jackson compiled 11 carries for 55 yards and reeled in 1 of 2 targets for six yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-35 win versus North Dakota.
Impact Jackson's six-yard touchdown reception was the game-winning play with 42 seconds left in the game. Jackson did lead the way in the backfield with 11 carries while teammate DeVon Rice flashed with seven carries for 40 yards and two touchdowns. It's expected that Dylan Edwards will be out again for Week 3, so expect more work from both Jackson and Rice against Army next week.

Avery Johnson - Shows poise in comeback win Johnson completed 28 of 43 passes for 318 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 38-35 victory over North Dakota. He also had seven rushes for 43 yards.
Impact Johnson showed poise and rose to the occasion as he led an 81-yard game-winning drive after the team blew a 10-point lead int he fourth quarter. That drive ended with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Joe Jackson which was the quarterback's third of the day. His 318 yards were a career-high and the first time the dual-threat signal caller has ever gone over 300 yads in a single game. With Kansas State's defense struggling in the first two games of the year, it could be a huge year for Johnson who has the tools to produce on a weekly basis. The Wildcats will host Army next week and Johnson is one of the top plays in the nation.
