5 Boilers Whose Stock is Rising After Purdue's Win Over Illinois Several Boilermakers stepped up in Purdue's win over Illinois on Saturday. Here are a few key players from the victory in Champaign.
6 DAYS AGO • SI.COM
Xavier Townsend - Limited in narrow win Townsend posted four receptions (on six targets) for 24 yards during Saturday's 24-17 victory over Illinois.
Impact Ryan Browne targeted Townsend six times, which matches the season low for their connection. Aside from a 162-yard, two-touchdown tour-de-force against UCLA in Week 3, Townsend has failed to find the end zone and hasn't recorded more than 58 yards. Asaad Waseem has better results in the offense and is currently the better fantasy option at wide receiver for the Boilermakers.

Fame Ijeboi - Productive in narrow victory Ijeboi compiled 19 rushes for 65 yards and reeled in their only target for 10 yards during Saturday's 24-17 win against Illinois.
Impact Ijeboi enjoyed a moderate boost in production after getting stuffed by Notre Dame's defensive front last week. Despite the upgrade, Ijeboi's result warrants concern, as he averaged only 3.42 yards per carry. The stat speaks more about Purdue's offensive line than Ijeboi, who has demonstrated an ability to rack up yardage after contact. He'll try to build on his Week 5 numbers against Minnesota next week.

Ryan Browne - Ekes out upset win Browne completed 18 of 27 passes for 255 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-17 win over Illinois.
Impact Browne's numbers have been a mixed bag depending on the competition, but there's no denying he can be prolific when the defense gives him enough opportunities. The Illini gave him just enough to be effective in a surprise upset over an Illini squad that failed to show the offensive efficiency it has shown previously in the season. In Week 6, Browne faces a surging Minnesota squad that knocked off Washington and Michigan over the past two weeks.
