Chavon Wright - 37 rushes in win over Cardinals Wright recorded 37 rushes for 166 yards during Saturday's 21-7 win against Ball State.
Impact Wright was the go-to guy for the Huskies in the eventual win, logging a whopping 37 rushes and finishing with 166 yards. The 5-foot-8 running back was coming off a three-carry outing, which goes to show how different Northern Illinois' approach is every week. Wright should stay involved alongside Telly Johnson at Toledo next Wednesday.

Telly Johnson Jr. - Reaches century mark vs. Cards Johnson totaled 15 rushes for 100 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-7 victory against Ball State.
Impact Johnson was one of two Husky running backs to reach 100 yards in the win over the Cardinals, but he was the sole one to log a touchdown. Northern Illinois' committee approach has made Johnson's output pretty volatile this season, although he's rushed for 323 yards and two touchdowns in the last three games. He should remain one of the most utilized RBs, if not the top, against Toledo next Wednesday

Josh Holst - Low passing usage in loss Holst completed 6 of 11 passes for 65 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 21-7 victory versus Ball State. He also had three rushes for 36 yards with one tou...
Impact Holst was barely utilized as a passer in the eventual win over the Cardinals, but he did find some success on the ground with 36 yards and a score. The 6-foot-4 quarterback executed the Huskies' game plan relatively well, so it's likely he'll get another start at Toledo next Wednesday.
OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
George Dimopoulos - Plays few snaps Dimopolous (undisclosed) totaled just nine snaps during Northern Illinois' 21-7 victory over Ball State.
Impact Dimopolous was surprisingly uninvolved in the NIU passing attack against Ball State, totaling just nine snaps while failing to record a counting stat. It is thus far unclear whether the 6-foot-2 receiver suffered an injury or was just not part of the gameplan against the Cardinals. His next chance to return will come against Toledo following the team's upcoming bye.

Jalen Macon - Available Saturday Macon is good to go for Saturday's game versus Ball State, per the MAC availability report.
Impact Macon, who was ruled out for Week 8, is back healthy ahead of Saturday's home game. It's unlikely he plays much given his place on the depth chart, but at least he is over whatever injury he was dealing with.

Northern Illinois vs. Ball State Prediction, Odds, Picks - October 25, 2025
Josh Holst - Listed as starter on depth chart Holst is listed as the Huskies' starting quarterback on their Week 9 depth chart, per Skyler Kisellus of the Northern Star.
Impact Holst got the start in NIU's blowout loss to Ohio, and tossed for 161 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.4 percent of his passes, adding 48 yards on the ground as well. Despite the lopsided result, it wasn't a bad performance by any means, it was just ineffective in powering the Huskies to victory. Holst now appears to have taken over as the starting gunslinger in DeKalb.
OCTOBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Brady Davidson - Listed as backup on depth chart Davidson is listed as a backup on Northern Illinois' depth chart for Saturday against Ball State, Skyler Kisellus of the Northern Star reports.
Impact Northern Illinois' updated depth chart suggests that Josh Holst will be the starting quarterback moving forward, as was the case in Week 8. Obviously, Davidson's demotion significantly dents his potential value, and he will have to wait until Holst commits a hiccup.
OCTOBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
DeAree Rogers - 107 yards, score vs. Ohio Rogers gathered in 7 of 12 targets for 107 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-21 defeat against Ohio.
Impact Rogers hasn't done much so far this season, but he turned it on against the Bobcats even in an eventual blowout. The junior wide receiver led the Huskies in all receiving categories, and he logged a touchdown for the second time this season. He should continue to be a top option in Northern Illinois' offense against Ball State next Saturday.

Impact Johnson logged double-digit carries once again for the Bobcats, but he finished the game with just 64 yards and no scores. The running back has been positioned as the Huskies' RB1 at this point in the season. He should be a top option on the ground against Ball State next weekend.
OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Holst got the start against the Bobcats and while the Huskies struggled, the quarterback still posted a decent stat line. The 6-foot-4 redshirt sophomore threw for double-digit scores for the first time this season, and he spread the love to nine different pass catchers. Holst will likely get the start, though it's not know for sure, against Ball State next Saturday.

Brady Davidson - Not seen on field Saturday Davidson was not seen on the field during Saturday's game against Ohio, Skyler Kisellus of the Northern Star reports.

Impact Macon, who has appeared briefly in the last two games, has been ruled out of Saturday's contest. He was unlikely to play much, but he has established a rushing role across the last two contests. His next chance to suit up is next Saturday versus Ball State.
OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Poe - Ruled out again Poe (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Ohio.

The freshman quarterback has now thrown for a total of 200 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in his two starts this season. His job could be in jeopardy if he continues to struggle versus Ohio next week.
OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Macon - Serves rushing role vs. Eagles Macon had five rushes for 16 yards. during Saturday's 16-10 defeat versus Eastern Michigan.
Impact Macon saw some rushes for the Huskies for the second straight week, with the loss to the Eagles being his highest output of the season. The supplementary quarterback likely won't have a role as a passer unless there's an injury, but he could continue to see volume on the ground in the coming weeks.
