Chris Lawson - Catches all targets in win Lawson caught all six targets for 103 yards during Friday's 38-26 win against Purdue.

Impact Lawson had an excellent evening in the victory, recording a season-high 103 receiving yards. Washington's wideouts clearly benefited from Elijah Brown's arm, and while Demond Williams is unlikely to be benched, Brown certainly made a case against Purdue.

Dezmen Roebuck - Benefits from Brown's arm Roebuck caught 5 of 7 targets for 97 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 38-26 victory over Purdue.

Impact Roebuck excelled with Elijah Brown under center, as the sophomore wideout lifted his seasonal numbers to 48 catches for 484 yards and three touchdowns. While he's recorded decent totals with Demond Williams, Brown might be Washington's better option for passing production.

Brian Bonner Jr. - Logs 89 yards of total offens in win Bonner posted 13 rushes for 64 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all two targets for 25 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 38-26 victory over Purdue.

Impact Bonner added two scores to his dual-threat yardage total, and although Try Cooley popped for the best rushing total, Bonner still played a critical role in the offense. The talented freshman now has 296 rushing yards through six games.

Trey Cooley - Shines in victory Cooley (undisclosed) posted eight rushes for 113 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 38-26 victory against Purdue.

Impact Cooley registered the kind of total many expected when Washington's running back depth chart fell apart a few weeks ago, and while Brian Bonner will still contribute a healthy sum, it's encouraging to see Cooley assume a larger role.

Elijah Brown - Cruises past Purdue with ease Brown was 21-for-27 passing for 302 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions during Friday's 38-26 victory versus Purdue.

Impact Brown was in complete command of the offense in the victory, and the Huskies looked more potent than they have been with Brown at the helm. It seems unlikely that the Huskies would take the keys from Demond Williams, but a quarterback switch is a distinct possibility after Brown's performance.

Trey Cooley - Should play vs. Nebraska after bye Cooley (shoulder) suffered an AC Sprain against Purdue but is expected to play against Nebraska, per Aaron Coe of Emerald City Spectrum.

Impact Cooley was banged up against the Boilermakers after a productive night in which he logged eight carries for 113 yards and a score. He's expected to be able to play against the Cornhuskers, which is big news for Washington considering how banged up its backfield is. Cooley is firmly probable for Nebraska in Week 9 after the Huskies' bye.

Demond Williams Jr. - Not yet cleared to play Williams (ribs) is fully cleared to practice but isn't yet cleared to play in a game, per Aaron Coe of Emerald City Spectrum.

Impact Williams didn't play during Washington's win over Purdue on Friday, with Elijah Brown instead drawing the start. The gunslinger is reportedly cleared to return to practice, but not yet cleared to return to game action. Washington has a bye in Week 8, luckily for the Huskies, so there's certainly a chance that the QB1 can return by Week 9 at Nebraska on Halloween night.

Trey Cooley - Suffers injury Friday Cooley suffered an undisclosed injury during Friday's contest against Purdue, per Roman Tomashoff of USA Today.

Impact Cooley attempted a carry late in the fourth quarter that resulted in a fumble, and he ended up getting injured on the play. The running back was unable to return to the game, ending his night with eight rushing attempts for 113 yards and one touchdown. It is unclear what injury he sustained, but his status will be questionable for the time being as Washington heads into a bye week before returning to action against Nebraska on Oct. 31.

Demond Williams Jr. - Doesn't play Friday Williams (ribs) did not play during Friday's 38-26 win over Purdue.

Impact Williams was noted to possibly be available in a reserve role depending on warmups, but the quarterback was not needed Friday. He did go through pregame warmups, which is a positive indicator that he could return against Nebraska on Oct. 31 following the team's upcoming bye week. Elijah Brown drew the start under center for the first time this season and performed well enough to earn a victory, completing 21 of 27 passes for 302 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Clay - Off availability report Clay (undisclosed) is no longer listed ahead of Friday's game versus Purdue, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact Clay was listed as probable for this game, but he's been removed from the report in the latest edition, so he's available to play. The wideout has yet to play this season, so he shouldn't have a big impact in most fantasy formats.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Brown - Will start vs. Purdue Brown will be the starting quarterback for Friday's game at Purdue, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown will get the nod under center Friday since Demond Williams Jr. is dealing with a rib injury. Brown was 28-for-39 passing for 251 yards and three touchdowns during the 41-24 loss to Iowa in Week 6, so he shouldn't have trouble carrying the offense.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Demond Williams Jr. - Won't start Friday Williams Jr. (ribs) won't start Friday at Purdue, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams Jr. has been nursing a rib injury and won't get the nod Friday, so Elijah Brown, who has been working with the first-team offense all week, will be under center. Williams Jr. could be available as a reserve, but according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.com, that'll depend on how he feels in the pre-game warmups.
