Conference race update: James Madison will play for the Sun Belt championship

Amid all the chaos and uncertainty in the conference title races, one thing is certain: James Madison will play in the Sun Belt championship game

No. 12 BYU crushes TCU 44-13, snapping five-game skid against the Horned Frogs

Bear Bachmeier threw for 296 yards and a touchdown to lead No. 12 BYU to a 44-13 victory over TCU

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • Associated Press

Joseph Manjack IV - Three grabs in two straight games Manjack tallied three receptions (on four targets) for 40 yards during Saturday's 44-13 defeat to Brigham Young.

Impact Manjack has recorded three catches in two straight games after returning from an injury. He's the third receiving option in this offense as QB Josh Hoover prefers to go to WRs Eric McAlister and Jordan Dwyer first. TCU struggled to find consistent success through the air against BYU. They'll likely have much more success at Houston next week.

Jordan Dwyer - Five targets in lopsided loss Dwyer notched two receptions (on five targets) for 19 yards during Saturday's 44-13 loss versus Brigham Young.

Impact Dwyer managed just two catches for the second time this season as he's typically more involved in the passing game. QB Josh Hoover struggled mightily against the Cougars' fierce defense. Although it was a low output against BYU, Dwyer has been a productive player in 2025 with 48 catches (on 75 targets) for 621 yards and four touchdowns. TCU will play at Houston next week.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Eric McAlister - Third straight 100-yard game McAlister gathered in 4 of 8 targets for 107 yards during Saturday's 44-13 defeat to Brigham Young.

Impact McAlister logged his third straight 100-yard receiving game and his fifth overall on the season. He's been one of the best receivers in the county with 52 grabs (on 90 targets) for 941 yards and eight touchdowns. He'll look to go over 1,000 yards receiving for the first time in his career when the Horned Frogs head to Houston next week.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Denman - Logs TD against BYU Denman notched seven carries for 45 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 44-13 defeat to Brigham Young.

Impact Denman, a true freshman, logged his second touchdown of the year in the lopsided loss to BYU. In fact, Denman was the only Horned Frog to score a touchdown on the night. With TCU falling out of the Big 12 title race, it's entirely possible they start to see what they have with some of the younger players on their roster. TCU will play at Houston next week.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremy Payne - Totals 72 yards against BYU Payne totaled nine carries for 55 yards and gathered in 1 of 2 targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 44-13 loss versus Brigham Young.

Impact Payne and fellow running back Jon Denman were the only TCU position players to have any type of fantasy success against a fierce BYU defense. Payne has averaged 7.4 yards per carry on the 17 carries he's received the last two weeks. That kind of play could elevate his opportunities as TCU finishes the year against Houston and Cincinnati.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Hoover - Struggles with INTs at BYU Hoover completed 10 of 23 passes for 183 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 44-13 loss to Brigham Young. He also had 11 rushes for negative six yards.

Impact Hoover threw multiple interceptions for the fourth time this year as he struggled to get anything going in the passing game at BYU. The 10 completions were a season-low by a longshot and that's surprising when you consider the Horned Frogs were trailing 27-10 at halftime. They were clearly outmatched by the Cougars' defense. Hoover and TCU will try to forget about this performance when they play at Houston next week.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • Associated Press

Caleb Sempebwa - Out once again Sempebwa (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against BYU.

Impact Sempebwa will miss yet another game this season. The kicker is a depth option, however, so he shouldn't carry a lot of upside.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Lemmermann - Out for Week 12 Lemmermann (leg) is out for Saturday's game at BYU.

Impact TCU's 2025 team began its regular season with Lemmermann as the starting kicker, but it looks like the regular ways will not be reverted. The placekicker's next chance to play comes Nov. 22 at Houston.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ed Small - Unavailable for Week 12 Small (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at BYU.

Impact Small has only two opportunities for regular-season action before TCU's 2025 team ends its current campaign. The team will play at Houston for Week 13 on Nov. 22 and against Cincinnati for Week 14 on Nov. 29.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kevorian Barnes - Ruled out at BYU Barnes (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at BYU, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Barnes is set to miss Saturday's contest as he deals with an undisclosed injury. It's unclear when he suffered the injury or how serious it is. He will be missed by the Horned Frogs as he's rushed 97 times for 443 yards and three touchdowns through seven games this season. Trent Battle and Jeremy Payne are set to lead the backfield in the difficult road contest.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kevorian Barnes - Questionable for Week 12 Barnes (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at BYU, Steven Johnson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact It is unknown why Barnes has a questionable tag going into Week 12. If the running back does become unavailable, Nate Palmer and Jeremy Payne would be in line for more reps behind TCU's RB2 Trent Battle. Ideally, the Big 12 availability report presents a better picture of Barnes' injury status Wednesday.

Texas Tech’s 29-7 win over BYU and losses by Virginia and Louisville were the biggest shakeups in the FBS conference races this week

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Jordan Dwyer - Receives season-high 15 targets Dwyer compiled 11 receptions (on 15 targets) for 108 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-17 defeat against Iowa State.

Impact Dwyer recorded his third 100-yard receiving game on a season-high 15 targets against the Cyclones. With QB Josh Hoover airing out the ball most weeks, Dwyer has had a fantastic year with 46 catches (on 69 targets) for 602 yards and four touchdowns. His numbers still trail teammate Eric McAlister who has at least 12 targets in each of his last three games and is Hoover's preferred target in the offense. With TCU's high volume passing game, both McAlister and Dwyer are viable in all fantasy formats each and every week. Dwyer's impressive play will be needed if TCU is to compete at BYU next week.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Eric McAlister - Huge target number again McAlister compiled 11 receptions (on 17 targets) for 107 yards during Saturday's 20-17 defeat against Iowa State.

Impact McAlister has recorded at least 12 targets in each of his last three games. With QB Josh Hoover airing out the ball in most weeks, McAlister is one of the most targeted receivers in the country. Through nine games, he has 48 catches (on 82 targets) for 834 yards and eight touchdowns. He should have yet another week with potential double-digit targets when TCU plays a tough BYU defense next week.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Trent Battle - Adds TD in third straight game Battle had five carries for three yards and one touchdown and hauled in 2 of 3 targets for eight yards during Saturday's 20-17 defeat versus Iowa State.

Impact Battle added a touchdown in his third straight game. He's become the goal-line back as Kevorian Barnes has handled the volume out of the backfield. Both Battle and Barnes struggled against the Cyclones while teammate Jeremy Payne was successful with 71 yards on eight carries. Battle has accumulated six touchdowns on just 57 carries which is impressive efficiency. TCU will play at BYU next week.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kevorian Barnes - Stifled by Iowa State Barnes notched 15 carries for 25 yards and gathered in both of his targets for six yards during Saturday's 20-17 defeat to Iowa State.

Impact Barnes was shut down by the Cyclones and could not find much running room in the loss. Teammate Jeremy Payne was far more successful with 71 yards on eight carries. It's possible TCU looks to split the workload as they finish out the regular season. They'll go up against a tough BYU defense next week.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremy Payne - Averages 8.9 YPC on limited action Payne posted eight carries for 71 yards during Saturday's 20-17 defeat against Iowa State.

Impact Payne was effective on limited touches against the Cyclones. On the season, the reserve back has 44 carries for 218 yards and two touchdowns. Teammates Kevorian Barnes and Trent Battle continue to see more opportunities, however, that could change down the stretch. TCU will play at BYU next week.
