OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Johnson accounted for UNI's lone score in Saturday's loss with a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter, his third this season. It's been a tough season thus far for Northern Illinois, as they fell to 0-5, though Johnson has been productive, totaling 300 yards on 65 carries.

He'll look to bounce back next week on the road against Wyoming.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Weber returned to action for the first time since Week 2. The tight end was unable to record a stat, as through three appearances this season he has recorded three receptions for 15 yards.

Da'sean Howard - Not playing vs. Air Force Howard (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Air Force.
Impact Howard is a depth option in NIU's backfield, so his absence won't matter too much from a fantasy perspective. His next chance to play will come against Wyoming on Saturday, Oct. 17.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
La'Don Bryant - Role growing in offense Bryant recorded six receptions (on 11 targets) for 70 yards during Saturday's 35-14 loss to Georgia State.
Impact Bryant stepped up as the Huskies clear number-two receiver behind DeAree Rogers on Saturday. After totaling just eight receptions on 13 targets for 115 yards in his first three games this year, Bryant finished Saturday's contest with the second-most targets on the team. The redshirt sophomore could have value in a NIU offense that's become more pass-heavy with Taron Dickens under center.
SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Telly Johnson Jr. - Solid outing in loss Johnson notched 15 rushes for 85 yards and a touchdown and reeled in all three targets for 26 yards during Saturday's 35-14 loss to Georgia State.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Taron Dickens - Another encouraging start Dickens was 28-for-42 passing for 320 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 35-14 loss to Georgia State.
Impact While NIU would fall to 0-4 on the season, there have been positive signs from Dickens, who's completed 67.1 percent of his throws for 548 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in two games since taking over as the starter.

Glen Weber - Misses blowout loss Weber (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 42-17 loss to Arizona.
Impact Weber didn't have an injury designation ahead of the game and hasn't missed one this season, so his inactive status came as a bit of a surprise. The starting tight end will now make an effort to return this Saturday at Georgia State.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
DeAree Rogers - Targeted often again Rogers recorded 10 receptions (on 11 targets) for 68 yards during Saturday's 42-17 loss against Arizona.
Impact Rogers was targeted heavily again Saturday, as the Huskies' passing attack looked much better with quarterback Taron Dickens at the helm. After logging just one reception in Week 1, Rogers' has totaled 21 receptions on 24 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in his last two games.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Thompson - Three grabs, touchdown in loss Thompson logged three receptions (on six targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 42-17 loss versus Arizona.
Impact After totaling just one reception (for zero yards) in his first two games this year, Thompson appears to have developed some chemistry with quarterback Taron Dickens. The senior wideout finished the day with the second-most receiving yards on the team, thanks in large part to a 52-yard touchdown grab that gave NIU a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. After spending his first two seasons with the Huskies, Thompson transferred to Mississippi State last year where he failed to record any stats, prompting a return to NIU.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Taron Dickens - Solid in first start Dickens was 25-for-37 passing for 228 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 42-17 loss versus Arizona. He also had seven rushes for nine yards.

Through three games overall, Dickens has completed 71.8 percent of his passes for 517 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He'll lead the offense again next week in a road matchup at Georgia State.
