2024 college football rankings: Ohio State jumps to No. 1; Penn State enters top 5

Terrance Ferguson - Logs 62-yard reception Week 6 Ferguson tallied two receptions (on five targets) for 82 yards during Friday's 31-10 win over Michigan State.

Impact Ferguson recorded a game-long 62-yard reception on a long catch-and-run in the first half. The 6-foot-5 senior thus finished with more than 45 yards and more than three targets for the first time since Week 1. He also finished tied with wideout Traeshon Holden for the Ducks' second-most targets behind WR1 Tez Johnson (13). The passing game is still primarily working through Johnson and Holden, so Ferguson's fantasy value will likely be tied to YAC and short-yardage scoring chances going forward.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Stewart - Catches nine-yard score Friday Stewart gathered in 2 of 4 targets for 20 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 31-10 victory versus Michigan State.

Impact Stewart caught his second touchdown of the season on a nine-yard scoring connection with quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the second quarter. The Texas A&M transfer still finished with fewer targets, receptions and yards than fellow wideouts Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden, as these two tallied 13 and five targets, respectively. Through five games, Stewart has accrued 16 catches (on 20 targets) for 182 yards, and he's seemed to fall behind Holden in the receiving hierarchy as of late. Stewart will look to carve out a bigger target share during next week's heavyweight matchup against Ohio State.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Traeshon Holden - Makes impressive catch in win Holden totaled four receptions (on five targets) for 63 yards during Friday's 31-10 win against Michigan State.

Impact Holden had one of the top highlights of the game Friday when he slipped while wide open downfield but still managed to collect a 37-yard pass while on his back in the first half. The 6-foot-3 senior once again served as the Ducks' No. 2 wide receiver behind Tez Johnson, who tallied 10 catches (on 13 targets) for 84 yards and a touchdown. Tight end Terrance Ferguson also collected two of five targets for 82 yards. Holden hasn't been particularly productive or explosive this season, but he's been a consistent part of the Ducks' high-powered passing game, and he seems to have surpassed Texas A&M transfer Evan Stewart in the receiving hierarchy.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tez Johnson - Logs double-digit targets again Johnson tallied 10 receptions (on 13 targets) for 84 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 31-10 win over Michigan State.

Impact Johnson hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season with a two-yard score in the fourth quarter. The 5-foot-10 senior also tallied a season-high 13 targets, and he's now logged double-digit targets in three of five games this year. He was also the only Ducks receiver to accrue more than five targets Friday night, and he's clearly separated as the team's No. 1 wide receiver over the last three games. He'll likely need to shoulder another significant target when Oregon hosts Ohio State next Saturday in what will be one of the biggest games of Week 7.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Whittington - Slim pickings in No. 2 RB spot Whittington accrued seven rushes for 26 yards and gathered in their only target for four yards during Friday's 31-10 win versus Michigan State.

Impact Whittington once again played a minor role for the Ducks' rushing attack. Instead, RB1 Jordan James pounded his way to a career day with 24 carries for 166 yards. James has gotten the bulk of carries in almost every game this season while Whittington has found little success on his limited opportunities, as the former has averaged just 3.9 yards per rush. Whittington's fantasy value should remain relatively insignificant moving forward.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dante Moore - Handles mop-up duties in win Moore completed 1 of 1 passes for seven yards during Friday's 31-10 win over Michigan State.

Impact Moore got in for the final two offensive series to finish out this blowout win for the Ducks. The UCLA transfer has still been the first quarterback to see the field behind starter Dillon Gabriel this season, reinforcing the belief that he's Oregon's quarterback of the future. Moore is still unlikely to see meaningful playing time this season unless Gabriel goes down with injury.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan James - Has career day in first half Week 6 James accrued 24 rushes for 166 yards and one touchdown and reeled in his only target for four yards during Friday's 31-10 win versus Michigan State.

Impact James reached a new career-high in rushing yards before the end of the first half, finishing the second quarter with 14 carries for 151 yards. The 210-pound bruiser ran all over the Spartans' defensive front, including a three-yard rushing score to go along with a season-long 41-yard carry. James' personal-best night helped the Ducks to overcome two early red-zone interceptions by quarterback Dillon Gabriel. James has now rushed for over 100 yards in the three of the last four games, and he's totaled 88 carries for 552 yards and five touchdowns this season. James will look to keep things rolling against a stout Buckeyes defense this coming Saturday.

OCTOBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dillon Gabriel - Recovers after rough start Gabriel was 20-for-32 passing for 257 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Friday's 31-10 win versus Michigan State. He also had three rushes for 22 yards with one to...

Impact Gabriel had an ugly first half, as he threw two red-zone interceptions on ill-advised passes into the end zone in the first and second quarters. The Ducks still cruised to a 21-0 halftime lead thanks to a career outing by running back Jordan James. Gabriel also hung in and delivered with his legs, rushing for a nine-yard score to put his team on the board late in the first quarter. He also hit touchdown passes of nine and two yards to Evan Stewart and Tez Johnson, respectively. Despite throwing his second and third picks of the season, the sixth-year senior finished with another efficient passing performance. Through five games, he's now completed 77.8 percent of his passes this season while totaling 14 touchdowns. Yet, he'll definitely need to clean up the mistakes when Oregon hosts Big Ten powerhouse Ohio State this coming Saturday.
