Iowa running back L.J. Phillips left the Hawkeyes' Oct. 9 game against Washington late with a lower-leg injury, according to Iowa Hawkeyes On SI. Iowa's depth chart has Xavier Williams at running back behind starting running back Kamari Moulton, the outlet reported. The outlet said it is unclear whether that is due to Phillips being injured or is simply a formality.
Telly Johnson ran 16 times for 139 yards and 1 touchdown, adding 2 catches for -1 yards, in Northern Illinois's 41-23 loss at Wyoming on Oct. 17, good for 21.8 CollegeFFB points in that game. Averaging 13.9 points a game this season, he could keep it going at $11M when Northern Illinois faces Hawai'i on Oct. 24.
DJ Vonnahme made the most of his chances for Iowa: 2 catches for 44 yards and 2 touchdowns, good for 18.4 CollegeFFB points, in Iowa's 41-24 win at Washington on Oct. 9. He appears well positioned as a scoring threat at tight end, averaging 10.4 CollegeFFB points a game this season, and at $7.5M he could be a useful piece when Iowa visits Minnesota on Oct. 24.
Kamari Moulton ran 26 times for 208 yards and 2 touchdowns in Iowa's 41-24 win at Washington on Oct. 9, a career high in rushing yards, according to The Associated Press. In his fourth season with Iowa, he is finally getting the bulk of the carries, according to Iowa Hawkeyes On SI. He scored 33.6 CollegeFFB points against Washington. Averaging 17.6 points a game this season, Moulton could extend that run at $9.9M when Iowa plays at Minnesota on Oct. 24.
