Arkansas Razorbacks Release Official Week One Depth Chart for Utah Utes Who will be starting for the Razorbacks in its first road trip of 2026 season?

2 DAYS AGO • SI.COM

Daniel Bray - Dealing with concussion, should play Bray left Utah's Week 1 win with a concussion but is on track to play in Week 2 against Arkansas, per Steve Bartle of KSL Sports.

Impact Bray still sounds somewhat questionable to suit up in Week 2, but the tailback's concussion doesn't appear to be all that serious, which is a positive sign for the Utes' backfield. In the opener, Bray notched two carries for 13 yards.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Rose - Gets mop-up duty Rose was 0-for-0 passing for zero yards during Thursday's 66-14 win over Idaho.

Impact Rose saw late-game snaps in Utah's blowout win, recording statistics after the outcome was already decided. With both Devon Dampier and Byrd Ficklin paying ahead of him, Rose's role remains that of a depth QB. His appearance was noteworthy for participation purposes but carries little fantasy relevance at this time.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dillon Curtis - Benefits from Utah's offensive explosion Curtis converted his only field goal attempt and all seven of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 66-14 victory against Idaho.

Impact Curtis didn't need many field-goal opportunities with Utah scoring nine touchdowns, but the opener reinforced the value of being attached to one of the nation's most productive offenses. Fantasy managers may not have seen a ceiling performance in Week 1, yet Utah's ability to consistently reach the red zone should keep Curtis in the conversation as a reliable kicking option. He remains a solid play going into next week thanks to a scoring environment surrounding him.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Noah Bennee - Finds the end zone in opener Bennee reeled in his only target for 35 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 66-14 victory against Idaho.

Impact Bennee delivered a solid start to the season by finding the end zone, scoring on a wide-open TD reception from Byrd Ficklin. The veteran tight end once again showcased the red-zone utility that fantasy managers covet at a position often lacking consistent production. Utah's offense spread touches around in the blowout, but Bennee still emerged with a scoring play, reinforcing his standing as one of the more fantasy-relevant pass catchers on the roster. He should remain a viable TE streamer or TE2 option next week, particularly if Utah continues to feature the position near the goal line.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Hunter Andrews - Announces himself with first career score Andrews notched two receptions (on three targets) for 14 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 66-14 victory over Idaho.

Impact Andrews took advantage of extended second-half action, hauling in his first career TD reception as Utah continued to pour on points against Idaho. The score came from backup QB Byrd Ficklin, but it was still an encouraging development for a tight end room that has traditionally been involved in Utah's offense. While it's difficult to draw firm conclusions from a blowout, Andrews made the most of his opportunity and put himself on the fantasy radar. He remains a deeper-league stash for now but is worth monitoring if his role continues to expand.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Braden Pegan - Turns limited opportunities into a score Pegan had four receptions (on five targets) for 81 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 66-14 victory versus Idaho.

Impact Pegan made his presence felt in Utah's season-opening blowout, finding the end zone as part of an offense that rolled up 633 total yards against Idaho. With Utah building a massive lead early and spreading touches across multiple skill players, volume was limited, but Pegan capitalized on his opportunities and remained involved in the passing attack. The encouraging takeaway for fantasy managers is that he was among the receivers trusted to produce scoring plays in a deep offensive rotation. Heading into next week, Pegan profiles as a flex-worthy fantasy option with room for a larger target share if Utah is forced to keep its starters on the field longer.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Steve Chavez-Soto - Cashes in Near the Goal Line Chavez-Soto had six rushes for 35 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 66-14 victory against Idaho.

Impact Chavez-Soto found the end zone on a five-yard TD run late in Utah's blowout victory, recording his first TD as a Ute. Much like LaMarcus Bell, Chavez-Soto benefited from the lopsided score and demonstrated the depth Utah possesses in its rushing attack. While the coaching staff appears comfortable rotating backs when given the opportunity, Wayshawn Parker remains the unquestioned fantasy asset in the room for now. Chaven-Soto profiles as a depth piece whose value is tied to TD opportunities and expanded usage in future games.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Wayshawn Parker - Looks ready for a feature role Parker notched 12 carries for 71 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all three targets for 23 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 66-14 victory over Idaho.

Impact Parker wasted little time showing why he's expected to lead Utah's backfield. The junior produced a career-high three touchdowns despite sharing work in a deep running back room and playing in a game that got out of hand early. His involvement as both a runner and receiver are particularly encouraging for fantasy managers. Parker should remain a strong weekly starter heading into next week after operating as Utah's clear lead option and most versatile back.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Byrd Ficklin - Makes the most of extended run in rout Ficklin was 4-for-8 passing for 93 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 66-14 victory against Idaho. He also had eight rushes for 70 yards.

Impact Ficklin turned garbage time into a showcase, completing his relief appearance after replacing Devon Dampier. The talented backup looked comfortable operating the offense and even drew praise from HC Morgan Scalley, who noted Utah's confidence in both QBs. While Ficklin's fantasy value remains limited as long as Dampier is healthy, his performance reinforced his status as one of the more intriguing backups in college football. Barring an expanded package, he's primarily a dynasty and deeper-format stash heading into next week.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Devon Dampier - Picks up right where he left off Dampier was 13-for-18 passing for 176 yards and three touchdowns during Thursday's 66-14 victory versus Idaho. He also had six rushes for 31 yards.

Impact Dampier's 2026 campaign couldn't have started much better before leaving the game well in hand. Utah was so dominant that Dampier only needed a little more than a half of work to deliver a fantasy-worthy stat line. The efficiency was encouraging, as he accounted for three scores without needing a massive volume workload. Dampier should remain locked into QB1 territory next week thanks to his dual-threat ability and Utah's demonstrated willingness to lean on him near the goal line and through the air.
