No. 11 BYU seeking spot in Big 12 title game and potential rematch against No. 6 Texas Tech

No. 11 BYU can get into the Big 12 championship game, and a potential rematch with No. 6 Texas Tech, by winning its last two regular-season games

Tobias Merriweather - Off injury report Merriweather (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Utes' injury report ahead of Week 13 against Kansas State.

Impact Merriweather hasn't played since Week 8, but after a three-game absence, the wideout will return to action in Salt Lake City. Across the first seven games of the season, Merriweather reeled in eight grabs for 130 yards.

Devon Dampier - Good to go vs. Wildcats Dampier (undisclosed) is available against Kansas State on Saturday.

Impact Dampier got banged up in Utah's win over Baylor, but still managed to throw two touchdowns before hand. The quarterback was therefore questionable for the Utes' tilt with Kansas State, but he's absent from the injury report, meaning he'll be available come Saturday. On the season, Dampier has thrown for 1,668 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions while running for 543 yards and five touchdowns.

Devon Dampier - Dealing with injury Dampier (undisclosed) was banged up against Baylor and is a question mark for Week 13 against Kansas State, per Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City.

Impact Dampier completed 6-of-13 passes for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Utah's win over Baylor before giving way to Byrd Ficklin, who played admirably in his stead, particularly as a runner. Dampier's injury isn't serious enough to shut him down for the season, according to head coach Kyle Whittingham, but he remains a question mark for Week 13 against the Wildcats.

Tobias Merriweather - Misses another game Merriweather (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 55-28 win over Baylor.

Impact Merriweather was available ahead of the game against the Bears, but he ended up not logging a snap in the matchup. The junior pass catcher has now been sidelined for three straight showings. He'll aim to return to the field next Saturday versus Kansas State.

2025 College Football Rankings: Georgia Roars Into Top 5, Alabama Falls From Top 10

Ryan Davis - Single catch against Baylor Davis logged one reception (on two targets) for nine yards during Saturday's 55-28 win against Baylor.

Impact Davis logged just a single catch for the first time this season. His services weren't needed as Utah dominated in the ground game. Five of their touchdowns came via running plays and back-up QB Byrd Ficklin scored on plays of 67 and 74 yards. With Utah having so much success in that aspect of the game, it could mean less targets for Davis moving forward. They'll play Kansas State next week.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dallen Bentley - Logs fourth TD in 2025 Bentley compiled three receptions (on five targets) for 48 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 55-28 victory against Baylor.

Impact Bentley logged his fourth touchdown of the season and his first since snagging a score at West Virginia in Week 5. Utah is dominating in the ground game with five of their touchdowns coming via the running variety. On the season, Bentley has 35 catches (on 58 targets) for 431 yards and four touchdowns. Utah will play Kansas State next week.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

NaQuari Rogers - Extends TD streak to three games Rogers posted six carries for 27 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 55-28 victory over Baylor.

Impact Rogers logged a touchdown in his third straight game and has 10 scores on the season. Teammate Wayshawn Parker has been the better back out of the backfield, however, Rogers has been a touchdown magnet with a score in seven of 10 games. Utah will finish the season with Kansas State and Kansas over the next two weeks.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Wayshawn Parker - Third straight 100-yard game Parker recorded 15 rushes for 129 yards and one touchdown and reeled in his only target for five yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 55-28 win over Baylor.

Impact Parker recorded his third straight 100-yard rushing game and he's also had at least one touchdown in all three of those games. He's become Utah's most consistent fantasy option on a week-to-week basis. On the season, he has nine total touchdowns and has recorded 736 rushing yards which eclipses the 735 yards and four touchdowns he had at Washington State last year. Parker has emerged as one of the best running backs in the conference over the last month of the season. He'll continue with that momentum when the team plays Kansas State next week.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Byrd Ficklin - Explodes for long TD runs Ficklin was 2-for-3 passing for 23 yards during Saturday's 55-28 win against Baylor. He also had six rushes for 166 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Ficklin had a historic night with touchdown runs of 67 and 74 yards against Baylor. He has a rushing score in three straight games and four of his last five games. Starting QB Devon Dampier continues to play well too, but Utah is comfortable playing both signal callers throughout the game. If Ficklin can keep scoring touchdowns at this rate, fantasy rosters may want to take consideration down the stretch. Utah will finish the year with Kansas State and Kansas.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Devon Dampier - Pair of TD passes against Baylor Dampier was 6-for-13 passing for 80 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 55-28 victory against Baylor. He also had eight rushes for 23 yards.

Impact Dampier logged his third straight game with multiple touchdown passes. His 23 yards rushing was a season low. It's not that Utah didn't have success on the ground from the QB position, however, it was back-up QB Byrd Ficklin who exploded for 166 yards and two long touchdown runs on six carries. Ficklin recorded touchdowns of 67 and 74 yards that would have looked nice on Dampier's stat line. Nonetheless, the Utes are rolling right now, and they will play Kansas State next week with a ton of confidence as they fight for a chance at a Big 12 title.
