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.
Griffin Wilde had 6 catches for 57 yards in Northwestern's 24-21 win at Michigan State on Oct. 17, good for 11.7 CollegeFFB points. Northwestern hosts Rutgers on Oct. 24, and at $7.2M, Wilde has been a steady producer, averaging 16 CollegeFFB points a game this season, with 5.3 catches per game in his last 3 games before Michigan State. He looks in line for more of the same.
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.
