Notches pair of rushing scores Hammond completed 7 of 16 passes for 42 yards and one interception during Saturday's 42-17 victory against Kansas. He also had eight rushes for 61 yards with two touchdowns.

Morton has been in-and-out of the lineup multiple times this year which has allowed for Hammond to showcase his talents. If the undisclosed injury is more serious for Morton, Hammond is a must add on fantasy waiver wires due to his rushing ability. Stay tuned to the injury news as Texas Tech has an intriguing matchup at Arizona State next week.

Sharp with four scoring drives Hammond completed 13 of 16 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 34-10 victory against Utah. He also had eight rushes for 61 yards.

Impact Hammond looked sharp while leading four scoring drives for the Red Raiders as they ran away from the Utes in the second half. He entered the game for an injured Behren Morton and appears that he's ready to play if he ever gets the chance. If he does get a start in the future, he'll be an interesting fantasy consideration because he is a dual-threat quarterback. Texas Tech is on a bye next week before heading to play at Houston.

Impact Hammond added a rushing score in the second half, making it two weeks in a row. Starter Behren Morton played the entire first half while Hammond and Mitch Griffis played in the second half.
