Byrd Ficklin - Sees mop-up duty again Ficklin was 1-for-2 passing for six yards during Saturday's 49-25 victory over Cincinnati. He also had five rushes for 20 yards.

Impact Ficklin made another brief appearance against Cincinnati, seeing action after the Utes built a commanding lead behind Devon Dampier and a dominant first-half performance. With Utah in complete control for most of the second half, the coaching staff was able to get the reserve quarterback onto the field for valuable game reps. For fantasy purposes, Ficklin remains firmly behind Dampier on the depth chart and isn't seeing enough volume to warrant consideration outside of deep dynasty formats.

Devon Dampier - Big plays continue to drive Utah Dampier was 22-for-29 passing for 260 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 49-25 victory over Cincinnati. He also had nine rushes for 45 yards.

Impact Dampier bounced back from a turnover-filled stretch with one of his best passing performances of the season against Cincinnati. The touchdown production has been remarkably consistent. Dampier has now thrown three touchdown passes in three of his last four games, continuing to deliver elite fantasy numbers through both the air and on the ground. The only lingering concern is turnovers as Dampier threw another interception against Cincinnati after tossing two interceptions in each of the previous two games. Next week's showdown with BYU is shaping up to be the biggest game on Utah's schedule. With the Utes still unbeaten and Dampier playing some of the best football in his career, fantasy managers will have plenty of interest in seeing how he performs against one of the conference's top contenders.

Wayshawn Parker - Dealing with quad injury Parker was held out of the second half of Saturday's game against Cincinnati due to a quad contusion, per Joe Coles of the Deseret News.

Impact Parker ended his day leading Utah's backfield with seven carries for 82 yards and a touchdown even after sitting out the second half. Head coach Morgan Scalley noted postgame that the coaching staff opted to rest the running back due to the physical toll of his workload and Utah's lead Saturday. Parker's status moving forward will be worth monitoring.
