Chris Carpenter - Six catches Saturday Carpenter notched six receptions (on nine targets) for 61 yards during Saturday's 30-20 loss against East Carolina.

Impact Carpenter had easily his best outing of the season Saturday as he set season highs in receptions, targets and receiving yards. He was tied for the team lead with nine targets and caught a team-best six passes. This type of volume will likely not be the norm considering the Roadrunners will likely not attempt 50 passes in every game moving forward. However, he clearly found a good connection with Owen McCown which could pay dividends during the second half of the season.

Devin McCuin - Quiet in Saturday's loss McCuin logged three receptions (on seven targets) for 18 yards during Saturday's 30-20 loss to East Carolina.

Impact McCuin set season lows in receptions and receiving yards Saturday, a disappointing outing especially considering it came in a game where the Roadrunners attempted over 50 passes. After an electric opening game in Week 1, McCuin has not gone for over 45 yards in his previous four games, a concerning lack of production in a high volume passing attack.

Willie McCoy - Solid in Saturday's loss McCoy gathered in 4 of 9 targets for 91 yards during Saturday's 30-20 defeat to East Carolina.

Impact McCoy recorded a season-high 91 yards Saturday, his second straight game with over 80 yards. He also tied a season high and tied for the team lead with nine targets Saturday. Even though he has not caught more than four passes in a game this season, he has shown his ability to produce on limited catches.

Brandon High Jr. - Scores long TD Saturday High totaled seven carries for 92 yards and one touchdown and caught their only target for three yards during Saturday's 30-20 loss to East Carolina.

Impact High scored a 66-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter Saturday, his second straight game with a rushing touchdown. He was out carried by both Robert Henry and Kevorian Barnes, but thanks to his long touchdown run, High was by far the most productive. Even though the Roadrunners clearly have a committee backfield, High is now definitively a part of it and has shown his ability to make big plays.

Owen McCown - Struggles in loss McCown was 24-for-49 passing for 251 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 30-20 defeat against East Carolina. He also had seven rushes for 11 yards.

Impact McCown had a rough outing Saturday as he completed less than 50 percent of his 49 pass attempts and threw two interceptions, his first two turnovers of the season. Despite throwing for over 250 yards, his second most this season, his lone touchdown pass was not enough to salvage a productive day. In his three games this season versus difficult opponents -- at Texas State, at Texas and at East Carolina -- he has struggled massively. He has a bye week this week before facing what should be an easier opponent on the road versus Rice in Week 7.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Smith - Catches long TD Saturday Smith hauled in 2 of 3 targets for 65 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-20 victory versus Texas-San Antonio.

Impact After being shut out last week despite seeing six targets, Smith bounced back Saturday with a 53-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. He only made one catch outside of that big play. He has now gone for over 56 yards in four of five games this season, however he has caught just two passes in his last two games after catching 15 over his first three.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Winston Wright Jr. - Catches TD Saturday Wright logged three receptions (on six targets) for 56 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-20 victory against Texas-San Antonio.

Impact Wright caught his second touchdown of the season Saturday, a 40-yard reception in the third quarter. He was also tied for a team-best six targets, his third game with six or more targets in the last four weeks. He has posted over 45 receiving yards in each of the last four games, a promising sign of consistency which is paired with his big-play upside.
