Tre Richardson - Finds end zone in win Richardson posted six receptions (on eight targets) for 75 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-24 win against Tennessee.

Impact The junior receiver finished with more than 70 yards for the third straight outing, clearly showing why he's a deep-threat. Richardson connected with Diego Pavia for his sixth receiving touchdown of the season, totaling 41 receptions for 683 yards and six touchdowns.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Junior Sherrill - Solid outing in win Sherrill had three receptions (on five targets) for 76 yards during Saturday's 45-24 win against Tennessee.

Impact The junior wideout turned in a good yardage line despite fewer targets - underscoring his ability to make plays with limited volume. His per-catch average suggests big-play potential, and his role seems to be growing in this offense. Sherrill finished the regular season with 46 receptions for 661 yards and seven touchdowns across 12 games.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Eli Stowers - Strong effort in win Stowers accrued five receptions (on seven targets) for 64 yards during Saturday's 45-24 victory against Tennessee.

Impact The senior tight end remained a reliable mid-field option, finishing with more than 50 yards for the third time in the last four weeks. His ability to consistently settle into soft zones helped Diego Pavia sustain drives and his efficiency continues to trend upward. Heading into postseason play, Stowers projects as a steady floor option in PPR formats and a trustworthy chain-mover in Vanderbilt's surging offense. He closed out the regular season with 61 receptions for 765 yards and four touchdowns.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Makhilyn Young - Scores in win Young had four rushes for 15 yards and one touchdown and caught all two targets for 39 yards during Saturday's 45-24 victory against Tennessee.

Impact Though his touches were limited, Young capitalized on a red-zone opportunity to contribute to the scoring tally. His role appears minor compared to Sedrick Alexander, but his reliability in short-yardage situations gives him value as a depth option. In deeper leagues or blowouts, Young could be a situational flex - but consistency remains a question.

Sedrick Alexander - Goes over 100 in win Alexander totaled 10 rushes for 115 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 45-24 victory against Tennessee.

Impact The junior back proved explosive, capable of breaking long runs and finishing drives - especially late when defenses wear down. While he may face timeshare in the backfield, his big-play speed and red-zone value make him a valuable secondary rushing option in this offense. For fantasy lineups, Alexander offers upside as a deep sleeper with boom potential, particularly in games where Vanderbilt dominates possession. He totaled 103 carries for 563 yards and 11 touchdowns while reeling in 16 reception for 181 yards and four scores.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Diego Pavia - Stellar effort in win Pavia completed 18 of 28 passes for 268 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 45-24 victory over Tennessee. He also had 20 rushes for 165 yards with one touc...

Impact The senior quarterback put up strong numbers through the air and on the ground, showing high-level dual-threat capability and taking control late. His rushing yards add a valuable dimension that many quarterbacks don't provide, making him a particularly high-ceiling fantasy asset when Vanderbilt controls the flow. If he stays healthy and the offense stays in rhythm, Pavia's upside remains very strong. He finished the regular season by completing 71.0 percent of his passes for 3,192 yards 27 touchdowns and eight interceptions while rushing the ball 152 times for 826 yards and four scores.
