Mason Heintschel - Tops 300 yards but throws two INTs Heintschel completed 23 of 38 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 35-20 win against Stanford. He also had eight rushes for 21 yards.
Impact Heintschel had an up-and-down game against Stanford, reaching the 300-yard milestone for the fourth time in five starts and throwing for three touchdowns in a second straight contest, but also turning the ball over four times (two INTs, two fumbles lost). The true freshman has been a more-than-pleasant fantasy surprise so far, averaging 302.8 passing yards and 2.4 passing touchdowns per game as a starter.

Ja'Kyrian Turner - Tops 150 yards from scrimmage Turner notched 22 carries for 127 yards and hauled in 3 of 4 targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 35-20 win over Stanford.
Impact Turner drew the start with Desmond Reid (ankle) sidelined, and the true freshman had the best performance of his career. He shattered his previous rushing record of 67 yards, and he also set a new high in receiving yards. Turner hadn't handled more than 15 carries in a game previously. Since Week 6 - his first game seeing double-digit touches - Turner has totaled 330 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, 11 receptions and 115 receiving yards across five games.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Deuce Spann - First rushing TD of 2025 Spann caught their only target for 30 yards during Saturday's 35-20 victory against Stanford.
Impact Spann, though not a top option in Pitt's passing game, has been a consistent contributor this season. He's caught a pass in eight of nine games played but hasn't had more than two receptions in a contest. Spann was utilized as a rusher in Week 10, seeing two carries after having logged one carry leading up to the contest. He scored on one of his two rushes, marking his second total touchdown of the campaign.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kenny Johnson - Catches fourth TD pass of season Johnson logged four receptions (on six targets) for 71 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-20 victory versus Stanford.
Impact Johnson topped 70 receiving yards for the third time in the last five games, and he scored his third touchdown of that stretch. Saturday's TD came from 17 yards out on Pitt's first offensive drive. Through nine games, Johnson has caught 37 of his 59 targets for 576 yards and four touchdowns.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Raphael Williams Jr. - Finds paydirt in Week 10 Williams hauled in 4 of 5 targets for 37 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-20 victory versus Stanford.
Impact Williams didn't have an outstanding game from a volume standpoint, but the senior wide receiver scored a TD for the second straight game. He's caught six TDs in nine games this season, matching his touchdown totals from 2024 and 2022. Williams has caught 36 of 56 targets for 525 yards this season.

Heintschel throws for 3 TDs, Pitt rolls past Stanford 35-20

Mason Heintschel throws for 304 yards and three touchdowns, leading Pittsburgh to a 35-20 win over Stanford on Saturday

Kenny Johnson - Good to go Saturday Johnson will play in Saturday's game at Stanford, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Johnson, who entered Saturday as a game-time decision, will play in the road contest. He's caught 33 passes for 505 yards and three touchdowns, so he figures to be heavily involved versus the Cardinal.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Desmond Reid - Set to sit at Stanford Reid (ankle) is out for Saturday's game at Stanford, Stephen Thompson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Reid went down with an ankle injury last Sunday against NC State, and he was unable to return to the matchup. The starting running back will now be sidelined for his third game of the season. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but he was able to warm up before this game, which bodes well for a return in the next three weeks.

Kenny Johnson - Dressed for warmups Johnson (arm) is in full pads and running routes on the field ahead of Saturday's game at Stanford, Stephen Thompson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Johnson went down with an arm injury last week against NC State and didn't return to the game, but he could be back in action against Stanford. The junior wide receiver hasn't been cleared ahead of the away game, but his presence during warmups bodes well for his status. His true designation should be disclosed prior to kickoff.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Desmond Reid - Dressed for warmups Saturday Reid (ankle) is in pads for warmups ahead of Saturday's game at Stanford, Stephen Thompson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Reid, who is officially a game-time decision for Saturday, is in full pads and catching passes during pregame warmups. It does not guarantee he will be available, but it's certainly a very good sign for his chances to play.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kenny Johnson - Game-time decision for Week 10 Johnson (arm) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Stanford.
Impact Pittsburgh will push Johnson's Week 10 availability to the wire. Week 9 saw one of the wide receiver's best games, seven receptions for 112 yards and one touchdown, so he will want to continue the positive momentum. If Desmond Reid (ankle) is unable to play, Pittsburgh may rely more heavily on the passing game, thereby increasing Johnson's chances of excelling.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Desmond Reid - Game-time decision Saturday Reid (ankle) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Stanford, per the ACC availability report.
Impact Reid suffered an ankle injury in last week's win over NC State and he spent the rest of the game in a foot on the sidelines. He is now officially a game-time decision for Saturday's contest, meaning the Panthers will decide on his availability during pregame warmups. If he can't go, Ja'Kyrian Turner would be set to lead the backfield.

Desmond Reid - Status remains up in the air Reid (ankle) remains a question mark for Pittsburgh's clash with Stanford on Saturday, per Owen Lenson of SI.com.
Impact Reid went down with an ankle ailment in the third quarter of Pittsburgh's win over NC State. He proceeded to wear a boot on his left leg on the sidelines for the remainder of the game, and head coach Pat Narduzzi was non-committal when asked about his star tailback's status ahead of Week 10. "Des wants to play. He was feeling good and wanted to play," Narduzzi said. "Des will be fine. We want to get him on the field but we want to keep him healthy." If Reid can't go against the Cardinal, expect J'Kyrian Turner and Juelz Goff to handle the majority of the backfield work for the Panthers.
