Texas takes No. 1 in the AP Top 25, Oregon falls and Michigan returns
Texas claimed the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25 after a historic comeback against Ohio StateSEPTEMBER 13 • Associated Press
Duane Thomas Jr. - DNP for Week 2 Thomas (undisclosed) did not play during Saturday's 12-7 loss at Pittsburgh.
Impact Central Florida's offense could have used Thomas as the team struggled to score points at Pittsburgh. The wide receiver is still looking to begin his second season for Central Florida after defying expectations and breaking out with the 2025 Knights following his first transfer from UNC-Charlotte.

Ferguson scores, Pitt defense holds on to beat UCF, 12-7
Damon Ferguson Jr. scored a touchdown and Pittsburgh’s defense held on to beat UCF 12-7 on SaturdaySEPTEMBER 13 • Associated Press
Censere Lee - Posts pair of receptions in win Lee totaled two receptions for 18 yards in Saturday's 12-7 win over UCF.
Impact Lee had a strong stat line last week, as did most Pitt receivers, in a blowout of Miami (Ohio). However, this weekend's game against a Big 12 defense was a much tougher challenge, and the yards were hard to come by. Lee and the Panthers passing game will look to rebound on a short week against Syracuse in the ACC opener on Thursday night at Acrisure Stadium.

La'Vell Wright - Totals 15 touches in home victory Wright had 13 rushes for 35 yards during Saturday's 12-7 win against UCF.
Impact Wright bumped up the depth chart with Ja'Kyrian Turner (undisclosed) unable to play in Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury. Damon Ferguson Jr. started the game, and totaled 23 touches with a TD run, but Wright showed some decent skills as a pass-catcher. Once Turner is back, however, Wright's fantasy appeal will be rather negligible.

Cataurus Hicks - Tops charts in narrow home win Hicks recorded three receptions for 64 yards during Saturday's 12-7 victory over UCF.
Impact Hicks averaged 21.3 yards per reception on his three touches, and his one 41-yard catch was the longest offensive play from scrimmage in an otherwise defensive battle. He'll look to rebound and try to re-discover the end zone on a short week in Thursday's visit from Syracuse.

Mason Heintschel - Crashes back to Earth in narrow win Heintschel completed 18 of 29 passes for 212 yards during Saturday's 12-7 win against UCF. He also had seven rushes for 13 yards.
Impact After tying a school record with seven touchdown passes against Miami (Ohio) last week, something neither Dan Marino nor Kenny Pickett were able to do at Pitt, Heintschel did next to nothing fantasy-wise, as the Panthers squeaked by the Knights. It's not surprising to see regression against a Big 12 defense, as opposed to a MAC defense, but it's a cautionary tale as to why you don't get too high, or too low, on a guy after just one game.
