A Homecoming At NC State: Philip Rivers Reportedly Agrees To Become Wolfpack's Head Coach

Caden High - Disappoints in road loss High hauled in 3 of 9 targets for nine yards during Saturday's 52-24 defeat versus Louisville.

Impact The reception total wasn't bad, but the yardage total was dismal. High has experienced some highs, and some lows, pardon the pun. He just came off a performance with nine receptions, 103 yards and a touchdown against NC State last Friday. Prior to that, he was limited to a single grab for seven yards. He has alternated with some big performances, followed by total disappearances. If the trend continues, he should have a big showing at Virginia Tech next time out on Nov. 14.

Benji Blackburn - Records three receptions in loss Blackburn caught all three targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 52-24 loss to Louisville.

Impact Blackburn's yardage total was rather mediocre yet again, but he has managed three or more catches in four of the past five outings. However, he hasn't had more than 30 receiving yardage since Sept. 4 against Miami, the second game of the season.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Aiden Black - Makes most of his lone reception Black reeled in their only target for 75 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-24 defeat versus Louisville.

Impact Black, a sophomore from Dingmans Ferry, Penn., not only had a single touch for score in this one, it was the first catch, yardage and touchdown of his collegiate career. That's quite the way of making a splash. We'll see if this bought him any additional work at Virginia Tech on Nov. 14.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Nico Brown - Hits triple digits with touchdown Brown totaled six receptions (on 10 targets) for 109 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-24 loss to Louisville.

Impact Brown registered his eighth 100-yard career game, but his first at Stanford. He reached the century mark seven times in 2025 as a member of the Yale Bulldogs. After posting just one touchdown in the first five games, he has found the end zone three times in the past two outings. He'll look to make it three games in a row at Virginia Tech next time out on Nov. 14.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sedrick Irvin - Totals seven touches in road loss Irvin compiled six carries for 24 yards and hauled in their only target for five yards during Saturday's 52-24 loss to Louisville.

Impact Irvin has been a nice change-of-pace option when Micah Ford needs a breather. However, his fantasy ceiling is rather limited as long as Ford remains healthy and available. Next up is a cross-country trip to Virginia Tech.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Micah Ford - Grinds out 120 scrimmage yards, TD Ford logged 20 rushes for 72 yards and caught all six targets for 48 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-24 defeat against Louisville.

Impact Ford was able to get to 72 rushing yards, which was impressive, since Louisville allowing just 81 net rushing yards and 2.6 yards per attempt. He also did solid work catching the ball out of the backfield, securing one of three touchdowns from Davis Warren. He'll look to keep up the good work Saturday at Virginia Tech.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Davis Warren - Tosses three touchdowns in road loss Warren completed 23 of 37 passes for 270 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 52-24 defeat versus Louisville.

Impact Warren piled up a decent passing yardage total, and Stanford was right in this game, down just 24-17 at halftime, and he jelled nicely with WR Nico Brown all evening. However, Louisville ended up pulling away in the second half. Warren has piled up seven touchdown passes in the past two games after going for seven TD passes in the first seven outings, so his arrow is certainly trending upward.

The nine receptions were one short of a career high, as he had 10 receptions for 102 yards at North Carolina on Nov. 8, 2025, last season for Stanford, and also 10 grabs for 81 yards at Georgia Southern on Sept. 14, 2024, as a member of the South Carolina State team.

He has passed for 582 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in the past two games. Warren now has three 300-yard games on the season, and he'll look to make it three in a row at Louisville next Saturday. However, he has passed for 151 or fewer yards with two total touchdowns in three games east of the Mississippi this season.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Micah Ford - Will play versus North Carolina State Ford (undisclosed) will play in Friday's matchup versus North Carolina State, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Ford was in danger of missing his first game this season, but the tailback is good to go against the Wolfpack. That's a big deal for the Cardinal offense, as Ford has racked up 647 total yards and eight touchdowns this season.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
