Darrell Gill Jr. - Commands 10 targets Gill recorded four receptions (on 10 targets) for 34 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-13 defeat against Pittsburgh.
Impact Gill had fallen silent in the weeks following a six-catch, 152-yard, two-touchdown performance against Colgate in Week 3, but he finally served as a top option for the Orange on Saturday. His 10 targets were a season high, but he caught just four of those passes for 34 yards. His touchdown reception was his first since Week 4.

Johntay Cook - Another quality outing Cook hauled in all six targets for 66 yards during Saturday's 30-13 defeat to Pittsburgh.
Impact Cook got off to a relatively slow start to 2025, totaling 12 receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown in his first three games. He's been excellent since, even with Syracuse working with a backup quarterback, logging at least six catches and 65 receiving yards in all four games. During that four-game stretch, Cook has caught 26 of 38 targets for 337 yards and a touchdown.

Yasin Willis - Goes nowhere against Pitt Willis notched 13 carries for 16 yards and caught 1 of 3 targets for negative three yards during Saturday's 30-13 loss against Pittsburgh.
Impact Syracuse's offense has struggled greatly since starting QB Steve Angeli (Achilles) went down, and it severely impacted Willis' fantasy value. The tailback's rushing yardage has decreased in three straight games, and he barely topped one yard per carry in Week 8. The sophomore has now gone four straight games without a rushing touchdown after scoring a total of four times in Syracuse's first two outings.

Luke Carney - Leads three drives as temporary sub Carney was 2-for-3 passing for 10 yards during Saturday's 30-13 defeat to Pittsburgh.
Impact After a rough first half on the offensive end, Syracuse benched starting QB Rickie Collins in favor of the true freshman Carney to start the third quarter. Carney was under center for three drives, which netted a total of 10 yards, before the Orange turned back to Collins, who closed the contest. As the team continues to search for a QB answer in the wake of Steve Angeli's (Achilles) season-ending injury, Carney could continue to see opportunities if Collins doesn't hold up to the standard.

Rickie Collins - Temporarily benched, finishes game Collins was 15-for-31 passing for 126 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions during Saturday's 30-13 defeat to Pittsburgh. He also had nine rushes for 42 yards.
Impact Collins threw a pair of interceptions in the first half as Syracuse struggled to move the football. Looking for a spark, Syracuse head coach Fran Brown turned to true freshman QB Luke Carney to open the third quarter. Carney led three drives that went nowhere before Collins re-entered and finished the contest. Collins threw a third pick before the game ended. Collins has now thrown three interceptions and completed fewer than 50 percent of his pass attempts in two straight games.

Justus Ross-Simmons - Plays just two snaps Ross-Simmons didn't log any counting stats during Saturday's game against Pitt and is dealing with an ankle injury, Javon Edmonds of Syracuse.com reports.
Impact Ross-Simmons sprained his ankle in Week 6 against SMU, and although he warmed up Saturday, he played merely two snaps. The injury likely prevented him from playing more, and his status should be monitored ahead of an Oct. 25 meeting with Georgia Tech.

Luke Carney - Gets start in second half Carney is starting at quarterback for the Orange to begin the second half of Saturday's game against Pitt, Javon Edmonds of Syracuse.com reports.
Impact The Orange are switching things up and giving Carney a shot to spark the offense in the second half after Rickie Collins threw for just 60 yards and two interceptions. Carney has appeared in just one game as a true freshman this season and will need to mount a two-touchdown comeback to help his team win.

Johntay Cook - Ready to roll Saturday Cook (undisclosed) will be available for Saturday's game versus Pittsburgh, per the ACC availability report.
Impact Cook was listed as probable on the report leading up to the game, so it's not a major surprise that he'll give it a go against the Panthers. Cook is coming off a big three-game stretch, racking up 20 catches for 271 yards and a touchdown in that span, and he'll aim to add to that total Saturday.

Julian McFadden - No longer on report McFadden (undisclosed) is not on the injury report and will be available for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.
Impact McFadden is no longer on the report, but he's buried on the depth chart, so he's not expected to play a big role on offense any time soon.
