Jayden Limar - Logs 65-yard touchdown reception Limar notched two rushes for seven yards and caught two targets for 71 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-14 win over Oregon State.

Impact Limar got into the game late in this rollover victory against the Ducks' in-state rivals. The 5-foot-11 sophomore caught a screen pass while lined up out wide before finding a crease and speeding away for a 65-yard touchdown, putting Oregon up 46-14 early in the fourth quarter. This was Limar's second appearance of the season, as he and DII transfer Jay Harris have been non-factors behind top running backs Jordan James and Noah Whittington through three games.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Whittington - Scores his first TD of 2024 Whittington totaled seven carries for 64 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-14 win against Oregon State.

Impact Whittington enjoyed easily his most productive outing of the season, highlight by a 27-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The 5-foot-8 senior was held back by Oregon's subpar run-blocking in Weeks 1 and 2, though these issues appeared to resolve themselves against the in-state rival Beavers. Whittington's still in the No. 2 running back role behind Jordan James, who logged 12 carries for 86 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday. Meanwhile, backups Jay Harris and Jayden Limar combined for five rushing attempts. Whittington's production as RB2 could improve significantly if the Ducks' rushing offense continues to improve moving forward. They'll have a bye week before travelling to UCLA on Saturday, Sept. 28.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Terrance Ferguson - Three more catches Saturday Ferguson caught all three targets for 45 yards during Saturday's 49-14 win versus Oregon State.

Impact Ferguson caught all three of his targets for the second week in a row. The 6-foot-5 senior has yet to find the end zone this season, but he's been one of the Ducks' top pass-catchers so far this season with 13 catches (15 targets) for 159 yards. His target share trails only top wideouts Tez Johnson (25) and Evan Stewart (16) through the first three games. Ferguson likely won't be as involved as his seven-catch performance Week 1, but he should remain a consistent piece of this passing offense moving forward. He'll look to log his first score of the season when Oregon next plays versus UCLA on Saturday, Sept. 28.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tez Johnson - Leading receiver again Week 3 Johnson caught seven of nine targets for 110 yards during Saturday's 49-14 victory against Oregon State.

Impact Johnson bounced back after catching his only three targets for negative-one net yards last week versus Boise State. The senior wideout logged his first 100-yard receiving performance in what was also a resurgent outing for the Ducks offense, which struggled with consistency in Weeks 1 and 2. Johnson production hasn't seen quite the same production as his breakout campaign last season when he caught 86 passes for 1,182 yards and 10 touchdowns. But, he's still clearly the top target in this offense, as No. 2 wideout Evan Stewart has totaled 16 targets compared to 25 for Johnson through the first three games of the season. Expect Johnson to remain the clear-cut WR1 when Oregon next plays on the road versus UCLA on Sept. 28.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Traeshon Holden - Scores again Week 3 Holden caught all three targets for 40 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-14 victory against Oregon State.

Impact Holden logged his second touchdown reception of the season with a 20-yard catch in the back of the end zone during the second quarter. The 6-foot-3 senior has been productive as the Ducks' third wide receiver behind Tez Johnson and Evan Stewart. Holden's target share also has not been that far behind Stewart's so far this season, as they've logged 12 and 16 targets, respectively. It will be worth monitoring if either player's role is affected if/when Gary Bryant returns to the field after missing the first two weeks with an undisclosed injury. Oregon will have a bye week before heading on the road versus UCLA on Saturday, Sept. 28.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan James - Cruises for two scores Saturday James totaled 12 rushes for 86 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in both of his targets for zero yards during Saturday's 49-14 victory against Oregon State.

Impact James found more room to run after back-to-back unsteady performances from Oregon's offensive line and rushing game in Weeks 1 and 2. The 210-pound junior also got the ball on both of Oregon's touchdowns in the low red zone, including a four-yard carry on the opening drive and a one-yard plunge late in the third quarter. James was one of the silver linings when the Ducks' rushing offense struggled early, and he's now averaged 6.4 yards per carry on 44 opportunities this season. No.2 running back Noah Whittington remained involved with seven carries for 64 yards versus the Beavers. Yet, James' production and workload through the first three weeks should leave fantasy owners optimistic for his production if the Ducks can continue to roll moving forward. He should have a good chance to wrack up the rushing yards when Oregon next plays Saturday, Sept. 28 versus a UCLA squad that just lost 42-13 to Indiana.

Dante Moore - Appears late in blowout win Moore went 3-for-3 passing for 15 yards during Saturday's 49-14 victory against Oregon State.

Impact Moore got in for two offensive series late in the fourth quarter. He first led a seven-play, 33-yard field-goal drive before lining up in the victory formation for the final two-play drive. The UCLA transfer was a highly sought after recruit coming out of high school, and he delivered very uneven results in nine games as a true freshman last year, completing 53.5 perecnt of 213 passing attempts for 11 touchdowns to nine interceptions. Moore should be in line to take over next year for the Ducks with current starter Dillon Gabriel now playing in his final season of collegiate eligibility.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dillon Gabriel - Stars in resurgent offense Gabriel completed 20 of 24 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 49-14 win against Oregon State. He also had four rushes for 64 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Oregon's offense looked like last year's dominant unit for the first time with Gabriel under center. The Oklahoma transfer's two highlight plays came in the second quarter, including when he sprinted for a 54-yard touchdown on a speed option followed by a 20-yard touchdown pass to Traeshon Holden in the back of the end zone. Oregon's offense appeared to overcome the mistakes and struggles in the rushing game that held it back in the first two weeks of the season. Meanwhile, Gabriel also remained highly efficient, as he's now completed 84 percent of his 94 passing attempts through three contests. If this unit continues to make strides like this, then Gabriel should have no issues piloting what many picked to be one of the best offenses in college football during the preseason. The Ducks will have a bye week before going on the road Sept. 28 to face what has been a dismal UCLA team so far this season.
