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.
Ryan Browne threw for 273 yards and 1 touchdown and ran 9 times for 15 yards and 1 more score in Purdue's 38-26 loss to Washington on Oct. 16, good for 18.4 CollegeFFB points in that game. Purdue visits Penn State on Oct. 31, a defense that allows the 5th-fewest yards per pass attempt across FBS this season, but Browne has averaged 13 points per game over his previous 3 games and could remain a busy part of the offense at $5.7M.
Fame Ijeboi ran 31 times for 195 yards and 3 touchdowns, adding 2 catches for -4 yards, in Purdue's 41-13 win over Minnesota on Oct. 10, good for 39.1 CollegeFFB points. He was named the Big Ten's Offensive Player of the Week for Week 6, according to CBS Sports. Averaging 21.7 points a game this season, he could stack another big outing at $6.1M when Purdue faces Washington on Oct. 16.
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.
