News

Jaden Greathouse WR

Jaden Greathouse broke out for Notre Dame with 8 catches for 125 yards and 20.5 CollegeFFB points in Notre Dame's 28-24 loss at BYU on Oct. 17. That followed an average of 2.3 catches per game over his previous 3 games. Notre Dame visits Navy on Oct. 31, and at $5.3M, Greathouse looks like he could remain a busy part of the passing game, building on a season in which he has averaged 9.5 points per game.

Jordan Collins TE

Jordan Collins had 2 catches for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns in Navy's 38-34 loss at UTSA on Oct. 17, good for 25.7 CollegeFFB points. He should keep getting chances as a downfield target for Navy, which hosts North Texas on Oct. 24, and he has averaged 14 CollegeFFB points a game this season at $5.4M.

Jonaz Walton RB

Jonaz Walton ran 13 times for 181 yards and 2 touchdowns and added 2 catches for 28 yards in Notre Dame's 58-7 win over Stanford on Oct. 10, good for 34.9 CollegeFFB points. His rushing total set a program record for a true freshman in a game, according to The Associated Press. His first career touchdown run came in that win over Stanford, according to WSBT 22. He could have a path to more touches after that outing, and at $5.5M he has averaged 12.5 points a game this season heading into Notre Dame's Oct. 17 visit to BYU.
