Dave Aranda Done In Waco: Baylor Reportedly Fires Head Coach Amid 7th Season

DJ Epps - Disappears after last week's explosion Epps caught 0 of 3 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 24-20 win versus TCU.

Impact Epps was held without a catch against TCU, one week after torching Cincinnati for 163 yards and a touchdown. The zero-catch performance is frustrating, but context matters. West Virginia won despite throwing for just 79 yards, making this more a reflection of the game plan than a sudden change in Epps' standing within the offense. Given his breakout performance the previous week, fantasy managers should view this as a difficult matchup and unusual game script rather than a reason to panic.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Prince Strachan - Leads surprisingly quiet receiving day Strachan hauled in all two targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 24-20 victory against TCU.

Impact Strachan finished as West Virginia's leading receiver, but it came in an unusually quiet passing performance from the Mountaineers. The modest production shouldn't be overly concerning given the game script. West Virginia attempted only 15 passes and totaled just 79 passing yards, making it difficult for any receiver to generate meaningful fantasy numbers.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Cam Cook - Expands his fantasy profile Cook recorded 18 rushes for 90 yards and reeled in his only target for 13 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-20 win over TCU.

Impact Cook continued to show he's more than just a traditional ball carrier against TCU. He caught the game-winning 13-yard touchdown pass from Michael Hawkins, giving him receiving touchdowns in back-to-back games. The growing involvement in the passing game is especially encouraging for fantasy managers. That versatility alongside Hawkins' dynamic playmaking makes Cook one of the safest weekly starts in the conference.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Hawkins Jr. - Keeps rewriting the record book Hawkins completed 7 of 15 passes for 79 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 24-20 victory against TCU. He also had 20 rushes for 87 yards with two touchdown...

Impact Hawkins turned in another winning performance while doing most of his damage on the ground. What's remarkable is that Hawkins continues to produce elite fantasy numbers regardless of how the game unfolds. Against TCU's stingy defense, the passing volume wasn't there, but it hardly mattered thanks to his rushing ability and nose for the end zone. His two rushing touchdowns increased his season total to 16 on the ground, while his touchdown pass gave him 11 through the air. Through eight games, Hawkins now has 27 total touchdowns, a staggering number that reinforces his status as one of the most productive fantasy players in the country. Whether he's winning shootouts or grinding out close road victories, Hawkins continues to find multiple ways to fill the stat sheet and remains the engine behind West Virginia's midseason resurgence.

John Neider - Good to go for Week 8 Neider (undisclosed) is ready to roll for Saturday's matchup versus TCU, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Neider will be available Saturday after not experiencing any setbacks. The wideout has recorded at least one catch in six of his seven appearances this season, so he's expected to have a sizable role on offense again.

Jack Cassidy - Delivers biggest kick of the season Cassidy converted on 1-for-2 field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 point-after tries during Saturday's 45-42 victory versus Cincinnati.

Impact Cassidy capped one of the wildest games of the Big 12 season by drilling a 35-yard field goal as time expired to lift West Virginia to a dramatic win over Cincinnati. Beyond the heroics, Cassidy's consistency continues to stand out from a fantasy perspective. He has now made at least one field goal in six of West Virginia's seven games this season and remains attached to an offense that generates scoring opportunities in bunches.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Sapp - Finds the end zone Sapp hauled in his only target for four yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-42 win versus Cincinnati.

Impact Sapp made his lone reception count, hauling in a touchdown for his first score since the 2023 season at Clemson. While Sapp remains a depth option in the passing game, his touchdown served as a reminder that Michael Hawkins is willing to spread the ball around near the goal line.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Prince Strachan - Delivers when it matters most Strachan hauled in all three targets for 84 yards during Saturday's 45-42 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Strachan may not have matched the massive yardage totals posted by DJ Epps, but he played a pivotal role in the dramatic win. His biggest contributions came on the game-winning drive. With West Virginia backed up at its own 1-yard line and needing a score, Michael Hawkins connected with Strachan for gains of 41 and 40 yards, flipping field position and setting up Jack Cassidy's walk-off field goal. While Epps remains the top target in terms of volume, Strachan continues to prove he can impact games with a handful of touches.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

DJ Epps - Bounces back in massive way Epps compiled eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 163 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-42 win against Cincinnati.

Impact Epps' performance was a welcome response after a frustrating outing the previous week and highlighted the upside that comes with catching passes from Michael Hawkins. While Prince Strachan generated headlines with his breakout performance, Epps quickly reasserted himself as a focal point of the passing attack with a season-high 10 targets and delivered his most productive game in several weeks. For fantasy managers, the biggest takeaway is that the zero-catch game now looks like an anomaly rather than a trend. In an offense that continues to generate huge passing numbers, Epps remains one of the Big 12's most dangerous receivers and a weekly threat to post game-changing production.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Amari Latimer - Stays productive in supporting role Latimer accrued four rushes for 14 yards and one touchdown and caught all two targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 45-42 victory over Cincinnati.

Impact Latimer continued to make the most of his limited opportunities, punching in a three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The score gives Latimer touchdowns in back-to-back games, a development for a reserve back who has become a reliable change-of-pace option behind Cam Cook. While the workload remains modest, Latimer's recent touchdown streak has helped him carve out a niche role in one of the Big 12's most explosive offenses. As long as West Virginia continues generating scoring chances at this rate, Latimer has the ability to pop up with fantasy-relevant production despite operating in a complementary role.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Cam Cook - Adds another dimension in fantasy Cook tallied 15 rushes for 40 yards and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for 41 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-42 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Cook has already established himself as West Virginia's workhorse on the ground, but he delivered in a new way during the Mountaineers' dramatic win. Cook caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from Michael Hawkins in the fourth quarter, making his first receiving touchdown of the season and tying the game during West Virginia's late comeback. While the rushing efficiency wasn't eye-popping against a Cincinnati defense that focused heavily on slowing the run game, Cook's involvement as a receiver highlights the versatility that makes him such a valuable fantasy asset. With defenses forced to account for Hawkins' dual-threat ability, Cook continues to find opportunities both as a traditional runner and as a playmaker in the passing game.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Hawkins Jr. - Breaking college fantasy football Hawkins was 25-for-33 passing for 464 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 45-42 victory over Cincinnati. He also had 26 rushes for 77 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Hawkins is doing things that few quarterbacks in college fantasy football can match. He erupted for a career-high 464 passing yards while leading the Mountaineers to a walk-off victory. What's most remarkable is that Hawkins continues to produce massive fantasy totals regardless of game script. Whether he's piling up rushing yards, carrying the offense through the air, or doing both in the same game, opponents simply haven't found an answer. Against Cincinnati, he completed 25 of 33 passes after struggling with his accuracy in the previous three games, then engineered a game-winning drive from his own 1-yard line in the final two minutes. For fantasy managers, Hawkins has reached the point where expectations need to be adjusted upward. He's no longer just one of the top quarterbacks in the Big 12. He's becoming a week-winning force capable of posting elite passing numbers while still providing the rushing production that separates him from nearly every other quarterback in the country.
