Umari Hatcher - Limited to two catches Hatcher recorded just two catches for 12 yards during Saturday's 18-13 defeat to Clemson.

Impact Hatcher has been a star, but Clemson managed to do a good job taking him out of the equation. Daunte Bacheyie, Justus Ross-Simmons and Calvin Russell III each outproduced Hatcher, which is a rarity. Hatcher will look to bounce back next Saturday in a very favorable matchup at NC State.

Calvin Russell III - Logs 80 receiving yards vs. Clemson Russell accrued 80 receiving yards on five receptions during Saturday's 18-13 loss to Clemson.

Impact The freshman has carved out a nice role for himself in the offense, and he has at least 80 receiving yards in two of his past three games, while going for three or more catches in four consecutive outings. He'll look to keep building momentum Saturday at NC State.

Daunte Bacheyie - Finds end zone again vs. Clemson Bacheyie logged six catches, 82 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 18-13 defeat to Clemson.

Impact Bacheyie found the end zone for the first time in four games since posting a season-best 97 yards with a score Oct. 10 at Virginia. He has five touchdowns in eight games, and he has at least three receptions in five consecutive outings. He'll look to keep up the good work in a favorable matchup at NC State next Saturday.

Justus Ross-Simmons - Good for 84 receiving yards Ross-Simmons totaled four receptions for a team-high 84 yards during Saturday's 18-13 loss to Clemson.

Impact Ross-Simmons has taken a backseat to Umari Hatcher this season, but he showed out in the dome on Saturday, while Hatcher didn't do much. Ross-Simmons will look to carry over the momentum into next Saturday's favorable matchup at NC State, a team which was just crushed by Duke in Week 10.

Tylik Hill - Limited to just two carries Hill posted two carries for 16 yards during Saturday's 18-13 defeat versus Clemson.

Impact Hill averaged 8.0 rushing yards per carry, which was impressive, but he didn't touch the ball out of the backfield. Ahmad Miller was running hard, going for a team-high 101 yards, and he was the bell cow. Unless something happens to force Miller out of the lineup, it appears Hill will be fighting for crumbs with Ju'Juan Johnson behind Miller.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ahmad Miller - Hits triple digits in home loss Miller tallied 20 carries for 101 yards during Saturday's 18-13 defeat against Clemson.

Impact Miller averaged 5.1 yards per rushing attempt, doing a pretty outstanding job against a good Clemson rushing defense. The junior from Memphis saw his four-game touchdown streak snapped, but he has five scores during the stretch with three 100-yard rushing performances in the past four outings. He faces another favorable matchup at NC State next Saturday.

Steve Angeli - Tosses TD in home loss to Clemson Angeli was 18-for-40 passing for 263 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 18-13 defeat against Clemson.

Impact Angeli was wildly erratic, misfiring on 22 pass attempts. He was under pressure all day, too, hurried several times, while he was sacked on three occasions while losing one fumble. The Orange face a very favorable matchup at NC State next week, a team that got boat-raced at home by Duke, so Angeli still could be a viable fantasy option if Syracuse sticks with him.

Steve Angeli - Will suit up in Week 10 Angeli (undisclosed) is ready to rock for Saturday's game versus Clemson, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Angeli is indeed good to go after previously being listed as probable. The gunslinger has tossed for 1,187 yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions this season on 57 percent completion. He'll look to build off a two-touchdown performance last week against SMU.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Steve Angeli - Trending toward playing in Week 10 Angeli (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Saturday's clash with Clemson, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Angeli's latest update is a welcome development for the quarterback on the rise. In the last two weeks, he threw at least 200 passing yards, scored multiple touchdowns and did not commit a turnover between Syracuse's games. Angeli would look to continue the positive momentum against a Clemson team not as formidable as in years past.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Malachi Nelson - Set to miss Week 10 Nelson (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's clash with Clemson, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Nelson was already considered a longshot to play and now will officially miss Saturday's action. The team has yet to announce who will make the start at quarterback this week.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Malachi Nelson - Long shot to play versus Clemson Nelson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's clash with Clemson, per the ACC availability report.

Impact The doubtful tag suggests Nelson could be on the verge of sitting out another game. He hasn't played since Week 8 after undergoing ankle surgery in late October, and his chances of suiting up Saturday are slim to none. Danny Lauter should remain under center due to the injuries Syracuse have under center.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Steve Angeli - Uncertain status for Week 10 Angeli carries a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's game versus Clemson, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Angeli has played the past two games after missing three straight contests, but the quarterback is a question mark once again as Syracuse gears up to face Clemson in Week 10. If Angeli can't go, Danny Lauter would likely be his replacement.

Calvin Russell III - Three more catches for Calvin Russell Russell logged three receptions (on five targets) for 41 yards during Saturday's 30-27 win versus Southern Methodist.

Impact Russell saw his modest two-game scoring streak snapped, but he continues to carve out a role for himself in offense. The freshman has three or more receptions and at least receiving yards in three straight outings, and he has received a couple of rushing opportunities recently, too. Next up is a visit from Clemson on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Daunte Bacheyie - Productive on limited touches Bacheyie caught all three targets for 47 yards during Saturday's 30-27 win against Southern Methodist.

Impact Bacheyie totaled just three receptions, but he led the team with 15.7 yards per catch, which is pretty impressive considering he is a tight end, and star receiver Umari Hatcher also is in the mix. After a four-game touchdown streak to start the season, Bacheyie has been held out of the end zone in three in a row. But, he has three or more catches in four straight games.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Umari Hatcher - Held out of end zone vs. SMU Hatcher totaled six receptions (on 10 targets) for 65 yards during Saturday's 30-27 victory against Southern Methodist.

Impact Hatcher's team sprung a bit of an ACC upset, but Hatcher had little to do with the victory. He did pace the team with 65 yards, but that's low by his standards. In addition, his four-game touchdown scoring streak (six total) was snapped. It was his first game without a visit to the end zone since Sept. 17 at Pitt. He'll look to start a new scoring streak Saturday against Clemson.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Tylik Hill - Does well in complementary role Hill accrued 10 carries for 54 yards during Saturday's 30-27 victory versus Southern Methodist.

Impact Hill saw the second-most carries in the Syracuse rushing attack, and his 5.4 yards per tote were far and away better than his backfield mate, Ahmad Miller, who had 56 yards on 18 carries, or 3.1 yards per rush. Hill will see meaningful touches down the stretch, whether in a starter's capacity, or as a change-of-pace option. Miller seems to be the more favored option on passing downs, though.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ahmad Miller - Paces Orange rushing attack Miller notched 18 rushes for 56 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all three targets for six yards during Saturday's 30-27 victory against Southern Methodist.

Impact Miller had a game-high 56 rushing yards, most for either side, just edging out backfield mate Tylik Hill (10 rushes, 54 yards). The junior from Memphis was able to extend his touchdown scoring streak to four games, and he has five total scores during the run. He'll look to extend that streak when Clemson comes calling on Saturday afternoon.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Steve Angeli - Accounts for two touchdowns in win Angeli was 21-for-34 passing for 200 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-27 victory over Southern Methodist. He also had three rushes for 14 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Angeli was still a little on the inaccurate side, misfiring on 13 of his 34 attempts. However, he also didn't have any miscues, which plagued him in his first stint as the unquestioned starter. Angeli has the Orange back to .500 at 4-4, and needing just two wins to attain bowl eligibility. The rushing touchdown was nice, too, coming on a 26-yard scamper to open the scoring at 10:04 of the first quarter.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Justus Ross-Simmons - Limited snaps Saturday Ross-Simmons (undisclosed) played just two snaps without a catch during Saturday's 30-27 victory over SMU.

Impact Ross-Simmons was limited to just a pair of snaps on the day, indicating that he may be dealing with an injury of some sort. The 6-foot-3 senior has caught 12 passes for 170 yards without a touchdown through seven appearances this season. His next chance to return will come against Clemson on Saturday.

OCTOBER 31 • Associated Press

Steve Angeli - Active vs. SMU Angeli (undisclosed) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against SMU.

Impact Angeli was expected to play ahead of the home clash, so his active designation doesn't come as much of a surprise. The starting quarterback completed 20 of 34 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns in an OT win last week against UNC.

Carter Bashir - Deemed unavailable versus SMU Bashir won't suit up for Saturday's clash with SMU, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Bashir won't play in Week 9, but his absence shouldn't be much of an issue for Syracuse, as he's buried on the depth chart and isn't expected to have a role even if healthy.
