Max Dowling - Questionable Week 9 Dowling (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Central Michigan.
Impact Dowling is in danger of missing his first game of the season as the Minutemen face off against the Chippewas in Week 9. The 6-foot-6 redshirt junior has tallied 12 receptions for 160 yards and two touchdowns across seven games this season. With Reece Adkins (undisclosed) ruled out for the contest, UMass could be left short-handed at tight end this week.
OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Rose - Questionable Saturday Rose (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at Central Michigan, per the MAC availability report.
Impact Rose's status has still not been decided around an hour before kickoff as he still is dealing with an undisclosed injury. If he cannot go AJ Hairston will likely start again, and Hairston could still start even if Rose is healthy.
OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Reece Adkins - Inactive against CMU Adkins (undisclosed) will not appear in Saturday's game against Central Michigan.
Impact Adkins will miss his first game of the season as the Minutemen face off against the Chippewas on Saturday. The 6-foot-6 senior tight end has logged seven receptions for 107 yards on the season.
OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jacquon Gibson - Questionable Week 9 Gibson (undisclosed) has been listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Central Michigan.
Impact Gibson, who has missed two-straight games due to undisclosed reasons, remains questionable for the Minutemen ahead of Saturday's game against the Chippewas. The 5-foot-11 redshirt junior, who has logged 36 receptions for 358 yards across five games, will continue to have his status monitored as kickoff approaches.
OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rocko Griffin - Questionable for Saturday Griffin (toe) is questionable for Saturday's game at Central Michigan, per the MAC availability report.
Impact Griffin is considered questionable about an hour before Saturday's kickoff, so he's essentially a game-time decision for the road contest. He has not played since Week 5, so it looks like he's at least close to a return to the field.

Central Michigan vs. UMass Prediction, Odds, Picks - October 25, 2025
Max Dowling - One big play against Bulls Dowling hauled in 1 of 3 targets for 77 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-21 loss against Buffalo.
Impact Dowling brought in just one of his three targets against the Bulls, but it was luckily a huge 77-yard touchdown. The starting tight end has now brought in 12 receptions for 160 yards and two touchdowns this season. He'll hopefully benefit from a continually improving offense next Saturday at Central Michigan.
OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Hood - 179 rushing yards vs. Bulls Hood logged 24 rushes for 179 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 2 of 4 targets for eight yards during Saturday's 28-21 defeat against Buffalo.
Impact Hood got the start against the Bulls with RB1 Rocko Griffin (toe) sidelined. This start gave the backup running back everything he needed for a monster game, as he received a high volume and did just about all he could with it. The 179 rushing yards are the most out of any Minuteman ball carrier so far this season. Hood will look to keep things rolling at Central Michigan next Saturday.
OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
AJ Hairston - Two touchdowns in near win Hairston was 6-for-14 passing for 119 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 28-21 defeat versus Buffalo. He also had 13 rushes for zero yards.
Impact Hairston pieced together his best showing of the season against the Bulls, dishing out multiple touchdowns for the first time this campaign and nearly getting the Minutemen a win. The 6-foot-3 quarterback still wasn't able to deliver in the end, though, as UMass failed to score in the final quarter of play. He'll remain searching for his first win of the season at CMU next week.
OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rocko Griffin - DNP for Week 8 Griffin (toe) did not play during Massachusetts' 28-21 loss Saturday against Buffalo.
Impact Even though Griffin was probable for the Buffalo-Massachusetts game, it did not include him. Between then and UMass' next matchup is a week before the Minutemen visit Central Michigan for Week 9.

Brandon Rose - Not starting Saturday Rose (undisclosed) will not start Saturday's game versus Buffalo, Marquel Slaughter of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact Rose, who is officially questionable for the contest, will not start Saturday. AJ Hairston will lead the offense. Rose has not been ruled out of the game and could still theoretically play, but he will not start regardless of his availability.
OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rocko Griffin - Set to play Saturday Griffin (toe) is expected to play in Saturday's game against Buffalo, Ryan Berry of New England Football Journal reports.
Impact Griffin could be set to return after a two-game absence due to a toe injury. More news closer to gametime should surface.
OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rocko Griffin - Questionable for Saturday Griffin (toe) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Buffalo.
Impact Griffin, who has missed the last two games with a toe injury, still has his status in question shortly before kickoff. If he is unable to go, Brandon Hood and Juwaun Price will be set to take most of the work out of the Minutemen's backfield.
OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Rose - Questionable Saturday Rose (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Buffalo.
Impact Rose's status is still in question an hour before kickoff as he deals with an undisclosed injury. It's unclear who will start between him and AJ Hairston if Rose is available, but if Rose cannot go then Hairston will be in line for another start.
OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jacquon Gibson - Out for Week 8 Gibson (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Buffalo.
Impact It will be another game out for Gibson, Massachusetts' most targeted wideout this season, based on his 60 targets and 36 receptions for 358 yards. After the Minutemen host Buffalo, they are scheduled to finish their October schedule by playing at Central Michigan on Oct. 25.

Buffalo vs. UMass Prediction, Odds, Picks - October 18, 2025
Jake McConnachie - 67 yards in blowout McConnachie notched seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 67 yards during Saturday's 42-6 defeat to Kent State.
Impact McConnachie logged a season-high 67 yards in the loss to the Golden Flashes, and he registered double-digit targets for the first time this season. The 6-foot-5 wide receiver's big game could've been due to the nature of the blowout, but he'll look to stay involved either way against Buffalo next week.
OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
AJ Hairston - Two turnovers in blowout Hairston was 26-for-48 passing for 227 yards and one interception during Saturday's 42-6 loss versus Kent State.
Impact Hairston was able to log his highest passing-yard total of the season in the blowout, but he paired that with no touchdowns with both an interception and a fumble. The 6-foot-3 quarterback has thrown just one touchdown and three interceptions in his last three starts for the Minutemen's, so the team might go in a different direction next week.
OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jacquon Gibson - Out against Kent State Gibson (undisclosed) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against Kent State.
Impact Gibson will miss his first game of the season as the Minutemen square off against the Golden Flashes in Week 7. The 5-foot-11 redshirt junior, who has tallied 36 receptions for 358 yards through five games, will have his next opportunity to return against Buffalo in Week 8.
