Connor Calvert - Nails three field goals in win Calvert (undisclosed) made three of three field-goal attempts and converted his sole extra-point try in Saturday's 16-9 win over Virginia.

Impact Calvert was the star of the show in the upset win over the Cavaliers, nailing all three of his field goals, which accounted for more than half of his squad's points. The starting kicker also did so with a lingering injury under his belt, but he should be healthy now moving forward. He'll look to stay active next weekend against UNC.

Connor Calvert - Probable for Week 11 Calvert (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game at Virginia.

Impact For the first time in 2025, Calvert is listed on the ACC's availability report. He is looking to bounce back after missing a field goal attempt in Week 9 and not recording any FGA during Week 10.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deshawn Purdie - Probable for Week 11 Purdie (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game at Virginia.

Eni Falayi - Upgraded to probable Falayi (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game against Virginia.

Impact Falayi was unable to go last week but seems to be trending in the right direction to return after a one-game absence. He's found the endzone in two of his last three games and will look to do so again in what should be a tough test against Virginia.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Barnes - Probable for Saturday Barnes is probable for Saturday's game against Virginia.

Impact Barnes has at least three catches in every game this season, though he had a season-low 16 receiving yards last week. It seems he's dealing with a minor injury and should be good to go for Saturday's meeting with Virginia.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Micah Mays Jr. - Gets questionable tag Mays is questionable for Saturday's game against Virginia.

Impact Mays has yet to miss a game this season and is coming off his best performance of the season, during which he hauled in five receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown. Should he not be able to go, Carlos Hernandez, Chris Barnes and Sterling Berkhalter would see the majority of the receiving reps.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Robby Ashford - Benched after three quarters Ashford was 12-for-21 passing for 93 yards and one interception during Saturday's 42-7 defeat to Florida State. He also had 12 rushes for 59 yards.

Impact Ashford drew the start Saturday, but he failed to lead a scoring drive across the first three quarters of the contest. Whether it was because of the lopsided score or the fact that Ashford had just thrown an interception, Wake Forest turned to backup QB Deshawn Purdie to start the fourth quarter. With Ashford struggling greatly, it's unclear who will be under center to start the Demon Deacons' next game.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deshawn Purdie - Takes over for fourth quarter Purdie was 6-for-10 passing for 69 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-7 loss versus Florida State.

Impact Purdie took the reins of the offense after three quarters of subpar QB play by starter Robby Ashford. It's unclear if the QB change was due to Ashford's poor play or the lopsided score. Regardless, Purdie led Wake Forest's lone scoring drive. With Ashford struggling, it wouldn't be surprising to see the team turn to Purdie sometime soon. For now, though, Ashford is the starter.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Demond Claiborne - Shut down in blowout loss Claiborne logged 14 rushes for 27 yards and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 42-7 loss versus Florida State.

Impact Wake Forest's offense had little success against Florida State, and Claiborne's stats suffered as a result. The star RB set a season low in yards per carry and posted his fewest rushing yards in a game since Week 1, when he left the game early due to injury. Although Claiborne has topped 100 rushing yards three times this season, he's been held to 35 or fewer rushing yards in three of his last six appearances.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Micah Mays Jr. - Catches team's lone TD Mays gathered in 5 of 7 targets for 51 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-7 defeat against Florida State.

Impact Mays tied his season high in targets and set a season high in receptions. The wideout led Wake Forest on Saturday in receptions and receiving yards while reeling in a touchdown pass from backup QB Deshawn Purdie in the fourth quarter. In eight games, Mays has caught 17 of 38 targets for 295 yards and two touchdowns.
