News

Landry Lyddy QB

Landry Lyddy threw for 208 yards and 1 touchdown and added 1 carry for 2 yards in Southern Miss's 23-13 loss to Arkansas State on Oct. 17, scoring 8.5 CollegeFFB points in that game. Averaging 12.1 points a game this season, Lyddy has been a steady producer and could add to that production when Southern Miss faces Louisiana on Oct. 24, at $4.9M.

Steven Robinson RB

Steven Robinson ran 21 times for 84 yards and 1 touchdown and caught 5 passes for 33 yards in Southern Miss's 23-13 loss to Arkansas State on Oct. 17, good for 22.7 CollegeFFB points. Southern Miss hosts Louisiana on Oct. 24. Robinson has produced 16.4 points a game this season, and at $5.3M he could remain busy in the Southern Miss backfield.

Mario Sanders WR

Mario Sanders had a big game in Southern Miss's 55-34 loss at Troy on Oct. 6: 8 catches for 102 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns, plus 75 passing yards and 1 passing touchdown, for 37.2 CollegeFFB points. Sanders should keep getting chances given his dual role as a receiver and passer, and he has averaged 21.1 points a game this season. At $8M, he looks like a high-ceiling WR when Southern Miss faces Arkansas State on Oct. 17.

Keenan Phillips RB

Keenan Phillips ran 19 times for 157 yards and 3 touchdowns, adding 1 catch for 7 yards, in South Alabama's 56-49 win at Arkansas State on Oct. 8. He scored 41.4 CollegeFFB points in that game. At $9.2M, he has averaged 15.5 points a game this season and looks primed for a bigger role when South Alabama visits Marshall on Oct. 20.
