Mark Bowman TEQuestionable

USC freshman tight end Mark Bowman has missed two games with a hamstring injury, according to USC Trojans On SI. The bye week gave Bowman time to heal before USC visits Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 24, according to USC Trojans On SI. Bowman is expected to return to the lineup after the bye, the outlet reported.

Dylan Lonergan QB

Dylan Lonergan had his breakout game for Rutgers: 291 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns and 5 carries for 18 yards in Rutgers's 37-30 win at Maryland on Oct. 17, good for 23.4 CollegeFFB points in that game. Rutgers visits Northwestern on Oct. 24, and Lonergan, a steady producer averaging 12.2 points a game this season, looks like he could keep piling up throws at $5.5M.

Clay Thevenin RB

Clay Thevenin ran 17 times for 109 yards and 1 touchdown and caught 2 passes for 24 yards and 1 touchdown in Rutgers's 37-30 win at Maryland on Oct. 17, good for 27.3 CollegeFFB points. At $5.1M, he has been a consistent scorer, averaging 11.2 points a game this season, and he should remain a key part of the Rutgers backfield when the Scarlet Knights visit Northwestern on Oct. 24.

Trent Mosley WR

Trent Mosley returned for USC in Week 6 and delivered 9 catches for 111 yards and 1 touchdown, plus 1 carry for 9 yards, in the Trojans' 31-23 win at Penn State on Oct. 10, good for 27 CollegeFFB points. Mosley said "it was a real game-time decision, but I just was preparing to play." At $5.6M, he has averaged 24.1 points a game this season and should remain a central option when USC visits Wisconsin on Oct. 24.
