Darrell Gill Jr. - Quiet in opener Gill caught 2 of 4 targets for 33 yards during Saturday's 45-26 defeat versus Tennessee.
Impact Gill was listed as a starter on Syracuse's depth chart, and he handled a full allotment of snaps. However, he finished tied for the fourth most targets and ranked fifth in receptions and receiving yards. Gill racked up 31 catches for 570 yards and two touchdowns a season ago, and he seemed on track to be the top WR for the Orange in 2025. However, that role has yet to be assumed, and at this point, it looks like Johntay Cook is quarterback Steve Angeli's favorite target.

Justus Ross-Simmons - Targeted eight times Ross-Simmons hauled in 3 of 8 targets for 50 yards during Saturday's 45-26 defeat to Tennessee.
Impact Ross-Simmons logged the second most targets on the team, but he was only able to reel in three of the passes thrown his way. The senior wideout caught nine passes for 202 yards and two scores in six games last season with Syracuse, but he is poised for a much larger role in 2025.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dan Villari - Big game in opener Villari totaled five receptions (on seven targets) for 55 yards during Saturday's 45-26 loss versus Tennessee.
Impact Villari ranked second on the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards Saturday. He nearly matched his 2024 totals, as he totaled six catches for 57 yards across eight games a season ago. Villari is the Orange's top tight end, replacing Oronde Gadsden, who went to the NFL after totaling 73 catches for 934 yards and seven touchdowns with Syracuse in 2024. Villari may not match Gadsden's numbers, but he'll have plenty of value as the top tight end in a fantasy-friendly offense.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Will Nixon - Clear No. 2 back Nixon accrued nine rushes for 33 yards and caught 2 of 3 targets for 29 yards during Saturday's 45-26 defeat against Tennessee.
Impact Nixon served as the backup to Yasin Willis, handling nine carries and being the only tailback other than Willis to log multiple rushing attempts. Nixon appeared in three games last season with Syracuse, logging 19 carries for 76 yards while catching four passes for 44 yards. He didn't score a touchdown.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Yasin Willis - Scores thrice against Tennessee Willis totaled 23 rushes for 91 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 45-26 defeat versus Tennessee.
Impact Willis served as Syracuse's clear top running back Saturday, outcarrying Will Nixon 23 to nine. He finished with 25 touches, which he turned into 120 yards from scrimmage. All three of Willis' touchdowns came in goal-line situations. If the true sophomore maintains this level of usage, he would be in line for a breakout 2025 campaign after totaling 130 rushing yards in 10 games a season ago.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Steve Angeli - Mixed results in opener Angeli was 23-for-40 passing for 274 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 45-26 loss to Tennessee. He also had seven rushes for -27 yards.
Impact Angeli threw an interception, lost a fumble and was sacked five times during Saturday's loss, but his passing volume resulted in a career-high 274 passing yards. Angeli, a Notre Dame transfer, beat out Rickie Collins for the starting quarterback job with Syracuse. He totaled 772 passing yards and a 10:1 TD:INT in his two seasons with the Fighting Irish.

Emanuel Ross - Not warming up Saturday Ross (undisclosed) is not warming up for Saturday's game at Tennessee, Chris Carlson of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Impact Ross not warming up indicates that he may be out for Syracuse's upcoming game at Tennessee. Having been limited in the Orange's fall camp, him remaining less than 100 percent would not be too surprising. It looks like Ross will be a game-time decision.
AUGUST 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jamie Tremble - Partaking in warmups Tremble is participating in warmups ahead of Saturday's opener against Tennessee, Chris Carlson of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Impact Tremble tallied a single catch last season for the Orange but played pretty regularly. Despite missing time in camp due to injury, it looks like he'll give it a go for Saturday's opener against Tennessee.
