2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Josh Derry - 11 catches in loss Derry posted 11 receptions (on 13 targets) for 84 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-28 defeat versus Oklahoma State.

Impact Derry caught a touchdown in his second straight game Saturday, a 12-yard reception in the first quarter. He also set season highs in receptions and targets and he now has 18 catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns across the last two games alone. If he can maintain even close to that pace across the remainder of the season, he'll be a must-start fantasy player.

Caden Piening - Catches TD Saturday Piening caught 7 of 8 targets for 60 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-28 defeat to Oklahoma State.

Impact Piening caught his second touchdown of the season Saturday, a four-yard reception late in the fourth quarter. He has found a larger role in the offense since the start of Big 12 play, catching 10 passes (on 16 targets) for 96 yards and two touchdowns across three games. If he can keep up that pace through the rest of the season he'll be a good fantasy option.

Duke Watson - 79 yards in loss Watson recorded 21 carries for 79 yards and hauled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 42-28 loss to Oklahoma State.

Impact Watson carried the workload in the Knights' backfield Saturday, taking a season-high 21 carries for 79 yards in the loss. It was a promising sign for him to see that much work after he only commanded nine carries in last week's loss. Watson now has 483 rushing yards through six games this season and will hope to continue that pace after the bye week.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Keyone Jenkins - Throws four touchdowns Saturday Jenkins was 30-for-42 passing for 265 yards, four touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 42-28 loss against Oklahoma State. He also had 10 rushes for 13 yards.

Impact Jenkins made his fourth consecutive start Saturday and despite the loss, it was his best performance of the season. He threw four touchdown passes, three of which came in the first half, and helped his team have a fighting chance against the ranked Cowboys. He committed two turnovers though and he now has three interceptions and three lost fumbles across his fourth start. Alonza Barnett (hamstring) will take back over the offense once he's healthy, but Jenkins has proven himself to be a solid enough backup.

Duane Thomas Jr. - Out once again Thomas (undisclosed) did not play during Saturday's 42-28 loss to Oklahoma State.

Impact Thomas was previously listed as a game-time decision heading into Saturday, but he was unable to make his return to action. The 5-foot-8 senior has yet to play in a game for the Knights this season. His next chance to return will come against BYU following UCF's upcoming bye week.

OCTOBER 10 • THEBIGLEAD.COM

Dylan Burk - Good to go for Week 6 Burk (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at Oklahoma State.

Impact Since transferring to Central Florida, Burk has not logged any targets, instead providing depth to UCF's tight end room. Last season, with Sam Houston, he logged six receptions (on 11 targets) for 55 yards.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Bibbs - Available for Week 6 Bibbs (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at Oklahoma State.

Impact Bibbs gives Central Florida capable depth in the team's receiver corps. In all but one of UCF's five games this season, he was targeted at least once on a pass attempt. The only time Bibbs wasn't, Central Florida ruled him out against TCU.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Derry - Available Saturday Derry is available for Saturday's game at Oklahoma State, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Derry, who was originally listed as probable, has now been cleared for Saturday's contest. It's great news for the Knights as Derry is coming off his best performance of the season where he caught seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown last week at Houston.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Wade - Greeen lit for Week 6 Wade (undisclosed) will be available for Saturday's game versus Oklahoma State, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Wade played minimally last week versus Houston due to the injury and hasn't lived up to expectations to date after posting 43 catches for 523 yards and five touchdowns a season ago. He'll aim to get back on track Saturday, and there should be plenty of plays run against an uptempo Cowboys squad.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Keyone Jenkins - Available for Week 6 Jenkins (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game at Oklahoma State.

Impact Jenkins' availability is essential for Central Florida to log a win on the road in Week 6, with the Knights down their starting quarterback Alonza Barnett (hamstring) once more. Jenkins has filled in decently during Barnett's absence, scoring multiple touchdowns in two of his last three starts for UCF, all of them against capable FBS teams.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Duane Thomas Jr. - Officially claims GTD tag Thomas (undisclosed) is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt versus Oklahoma State, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Thomas was listed as doubtful on Friday's version of the availability report, which came as a downgrade from his original questionable tag. That doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up, but it appears he'll at least try things out in warmups before a final decision on his status is made.

Chris 'The Bear' Fallica's College Football Week 6 Expert Picks, Best Bets

Duane Thomas Jr. - Downgraded to doubtful Thomas (undisclosed) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Oklahoma State.

Impact Thomas is trending in the wrong direction after this latest update, and it wouldn't be surprising if he sits out Saturday's matchup against the Cowboys. That would be a huge blow for UCF, as the star wideout has yet to play this season but his presence is sorely missed. If he can't play Saturday, Waden Charles, Ric'Darious Farmer and Josh Derry (undisclosed) would be in line for more looks in the passing game.
