NOTES * 1.04 Darian Mensah MIA QB: vs Pitt (W 52-23): 31/37, 387 yds, 4 TD, 0 INT; 5 car, –12. Dominant efficiency (season 22 TD, 1 INT, PFF 92.5 overall #1 QB). Accuracy, decision-making, and arm talent project as early-round QB with starter traits. * 1.06 Drew Mestemaker OKST QB: vs Colorado (W 57-24): 21/36, 386 yds, 4 TD, 0 INT; 8 car, 8 yds. High-volume, explosive arm (season 20 TD); efficiency and decision-making under pressure support rising QB3-4 stock. * 1.09 LaNorris Sellers SC QB: vs Tennessee (W 27-24): 18/32, 210 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT; 18 car, 96 yds, 2 TD.

Complementary back in committee; short-yardage/goal-line role and receiving flashes project as rotational RB. * 1.11 Arch Manning TEX QB: vs Ole Miss (W 34-27): 18/30, 212 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT; 8 car, 2 yds, 2 TD. Mixed efficiency. Arm talent and mobility remain high-upside, but turnovers and consistency keep him QB5 for now. * 1.12 Jamari Johnson ORE TE: @ Illinois (L 21-10): 7 rec, 69 yds. Solid volume without Dante Moore. Athletic inline/move TE with YAC; PFF receiving grade supports TE1 projection. * 2.02 Trey’Dez Green LSU TE @ Auburn (W 38-17): 5 rec, 50 yds, 1 TD (15-yd). Green returned from a knee injury and scored in his first game back, adding a vertical element to the LSU passing game. He has been a high-impact target when healthy (14.3 YPR). His size (6-7), blocking, and contested-catch ability support a TE1/2 NFL projection with red-zone upside. * 2.03 Ryan Wingo TEX WR vs Ole Miss (W 34-27): 7 rec, 111 yds, 1 TD (50-yd); 1 car, 9 yds. Wingo delivered an explosive deep score and led the receiving corps in a high-stakes win. He continues as a primary vertical threat for Manning.

Chambliss operated at high volume in a comeback attempt but was turnover-prone, including a late Hail Mary INT. He remains the clear starter with dual-threat ability. His arm talent and mobility keep him in the QB conversation; decision-making variance and turnover rate are the primary limiters for an NFL developmental profile. * 2.10 Duce Robinson FSU WR Last (@ Miami, L 43-35): 5 rec, 113 yds, 2 TD. Bye or limited this week. Robinson produced an explosive multi-TD game as a vertical threat. He has been efficient when targeted (18.5 YPR). His size (6-6) and contested-catch ability project as a red-zone/outside NFL WR. * 3.02 Justice Haynes GT RB vs Boston College (L 49-27): 14 car, 53 yds, 1 TD. Haynes scored in a blowout loss and continues as the primary back. Efficiency has been solid on the year (5.1 YPC, 33 forced missed tackles). His power and yards-after-contact project as an early-down NFL RB. * 3.05 DeSean Bishop TEN RB @ South Carolina (L 27-24): 32 car, 120 yds (3.8 avg), 1 TD; 1 rec, 10 yds. Bishop powered a 18-play, 75-yard scoring drive and finished with high-volume work in a close loss. He continues as the clear lead back with consistent between-the-tackles production. His 5.0+ YPC and missed-tackle forcing on early downs project as an early-down NFL RB with goal-line utility. * 3.06 Antwan Raymond RUT RB @ Northwestern (L 42-14): 18 car, 150 yds (8.3 avg), 1 TD (46-yd); 2 rec, 27 yds.

Cook mixed runs and a receiving score in a tight road win, continuing his high-usage role. He has stayed productive as a dual-threat option.

Harris exploded for a high-YPR game as the clear WR1 in a controlled win. He has consistently produced explosive plays all season (800 yds, 8 TD, PFF 89.3). His 17.0 YPR and yards-after-catch profile support an outside NFL WR1/2 with deep-threat traits. * 3.10 Wyatt Young OKST WR vs Colorado (W 57-24): 4 rec, 78 yds, 1 TD. Young scored in a high-volume passing game and continues as a reliable target for Mestemaker. He has TD production in multiple recent outings.

Craver found the end zone in a loss and reclaimed volume after quieter weeks. He remains a short-area option in the offense. His speed and slot usage project as a complementary NFL WR with return potential. * 4.01 Deuce Alexander MISS WR @ Texas (L 34-27): 8 rec, 87 yds; 1 car, 7 yds. Alexander led the receiving corps in a high-volume loss and continues as the primary option. He has been consistent in recent contests. His route running and separation on intermediate throws project as an NFL slot WR. * 4.02 Raleek Brown TEX RB vs Ole Miss (W 34-27): 23 car, 157 yds (6.8 avg, long 47). Brown carried the ground game with a long explosive run that set up a score and helped control the second half. He stepped up with Smothers out. His burst and 5.0 YPC on limited prior volume support a change-of-pace NFL back role. * 4.03 Luke Reynolds VT TE vs Clemson (W 20-16): 7 rec, 44 yds, 2 TD. Reynolds scored twice, including the game-winner on fourth-and-goal, and added a fake-punt completion. He has been a high-target, red-zone weapon all season (PFF 86.3 overall, 2nd among TEs). His YAC and inline versatility project as a move/slot NFL TE. * 4.06 Amare Thomas HOU WR @ Utah (L 21-13): 5 rec, 133 yds (26.6 avg). Thomas produced a high-YPR game in a tight loss and continues as a vertical threat. He has multiple big-play weeks this season. His 15.1 YPR and after-the-catch ability support an outside NFL WR role. * 4.08 Sam Leavitt LSU QB @ Auburn (W 38-17): 32/45, 387 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT; 8 car, 54 yds, 1 TD.

His arm talent, mobility, and decision-making under Lane Kiffin support a developmental NFL starter profile. * 4.11 Collin Dixon ILL WR vs Oregon (W 21-10): 7 rec, 70 yds, 1 TD (23-yd diving catch). Dixon made the clinching score and led the receiving corps in a defensive win. He has multi-TD production this season. His contested-catch ability and route precision project as an NFL possession WR. * 5.02 Wayshawn Parker UTA RB vs Houston (W 21-13): 13 car, 47 yds, 1 TD; 4 rec, 46 yds. Parker mixed runs and receiving in a defensive win and continues as a productive dual-threat. He has multiple 100+ yard games this season.

chu__dog Edge - Week 8 Results 💥 Darian Mensah (QB/MIA, 1.04) vs. PITT ✅ Proj: 303 pass yds, 2.1 TD, 0.2 INT; 13 rush yds, 0.4 TD = 23.8 pts Actual: 31/37, 387 yds, 4 TD, 0 INT; 5 rush, -12 yds = 30.3 pts (+6.5) The smash spot paid off. Pitt's #116 pass defense couldn't stop PFF's #1 passer, and he beat the projection by almost 100 passing yards. — 💥 Jamari Johnson (TE/ORE, 2.02) vs. ILL ✅ Proj: 4.9 rec, 68 yds, 0.6 TD = 15.1 pts Actual: 7 rec, 69 yds, 0 TD = 13.9 pts (-1.2) The yardage was spot on and he caught more passes than projected. With Oregon's top receivers out, Raiola's targets went to him, and only the missing touchdown kept him under. — 🧊 Darius Taylor (RB/MINN, 5.01) vs. IOWA ✅ Proj: 13 car, 20 rush yds, 0.4 TD; 3.9 rec, 33 yds, 0.3 TD = 13.1 pts Actual: 12 rush, 20 yds, 1 TD; 1 rec, 11 yds = 10.1 pts (-3.0) The avoid call was right. Iowa's #7 run defense held him to 1.7 yards per carry, exactly the 20 rushing yards projected, and a touchdown kept his day from going to zero. — All three calls went the right way. Two landed within about 3 points, and Mensah beat his projection by 6.5.

Notes: * 1.01 Jeremiah Smith OSU WR | vs Maryland W 45-16: 4/93/2 TD (33- and 40-yard scores). Season 48/916/11. Exploded on first two touches for scores despite season-low volume; matchup-proof alpha who creates after the catch. PFF 94.5 (1st among WRs) with 19.1 YPR and elite deep/contested profile continues to project as the clear NFL WR1. * 1.02 Jadan Baugh FLA RB | vs South Carolina L 19-38: 15/59/1 TD, 2/11/0. Season 110/672/12. Workhorse volume held but efficiency dipped against SEC front; still the engine of the offense. High-end contact balance and TD rate (12 through six games) support early-round RB upside if the line stabilizes. * 1.03 Charlie Becker IND WR | @ Nebraska W 20-17: 3/52/0 (43-yard). Season 30/529/8. Quiet in the comeback but prior multi-TD games show red-zone and YAC versatility.

Season 115/187, 1338/12/4. Career-best outing ended SEC skid; dual-threat production (411 rush yards) remains the NFL selling point despite turnover variance. * 1.09 Cam Coleman TEX WR | vs Oklahoma L 24-27: 5/110/1 (41-yard TD). Season 17/318/5. Explosive deep threat who won one-on-ones; YPR 18.7 and TD rate support WR2/3 upside. * 1.11 Julian Sayin OSU QB | vs Maryland W 45-16: 4 TD passes. Efficient distributor who fed Smith early. Accuracy and decision-making project as a high-floor NFL passer. * 2.03 Nick Marsh IND WR | @ Nebraska W 20-17: 6/187/2 TD (including 44-yard game-winner). Explosive vertical option who complements Becker. * 2.05 Kewan Lacy MISS RB | vs Vanderbilt W 52-17: 7/39/1 TD (first half only). Managing shoulder; limited but effective. Prior production (1,567/24 in 2025) supports early-round RB if healthy. * 2.07 Ryan Wingo TEX WR | vs Oklahoma L 24-27: 2/57/1 TD (34-yard).

INJURY / AVAILABILITY + BOX SCRAPE * Dante Moore, ORE QB (1.04) Questionable, concussion Practiced Monday, limited. Dan Lanning: “back out there with his teammates,” “a little work.” Dylan Raiola still the placeholder Sat 3:30 ET vs UCLA, CBS * Kewan Lacy, MISS RB (2.05) Expected back, snap-managed Bye. Pete Golding: “Fully anticipate having him this week.” “Not going to take the toll of 40 or 50 snaps.” 39/191/4 on the year Sat 3:30 ET at Vanderbilt, ESPN * Ahmad Hardy, MIZ RB (2.10) Out, no timetable Gunshot, upper leg (May 10). Eli Drinkwitz (9/16, still out 10/3): “I don’t really have an update, don’t really have a timetable yet.” Needs two full-speed weeks Sat noon ET vs Texas A&M, ABC * Nate Frazier, UGA RB (3.01) Banged up, limited ESPN recap: Frazier and Chauncey Bowens both limited vs Vanderbilt. Dwight Phillips Jr. took the work Sat 7:30 ET at Alabama, ABC NOTES * 1.01 Jeremiah Smith, OSU WR. 11/206/2 at Iowa in a 31-14 road win, including the program career receptions record. Back-to-back 200-yard games; 44/823/9 through five, 18.7 per catch. NFL translation is already settled: size, separation, and a 90-grade profile that does not need another cupcake to hold 1.01. * 1.02 Jadan Baugh, FLA RB. 12/13/0 and 3/17 at No. 14 Missouri in a 17-45 loss; the defense sold out after his first 12-yard gain. Still 613 rush yards and 11 TD in five games at 6.5 ypc. One stuffed Power game is a dent, not a demotion — the NFL question is whether he creates when the box is loaded. * 1.03 Charlie Becker, IND WR. 8/107/2 at Rutgers in a 47-15 win, part of a 27/477/8 season. Hoover’s 4 TD day made the targets easy. Yards-per-route and red-zone rate are the NFL hooks. * 1.06 CJ Carr, ND QB. Four passing scores and a rush TD at UNC in a 37-26 win, Notre Dame 5-0. Second-half control after a tied game is the tape. Pro-style footwork is the analytic sell. * 1.07 Darian Mensah, MIA QB. 18/27/227/1/0 and a 34-yard rush TD at Clemson. Miami 41-13. Season is 1,438 yards, 15 TD, 0 INT, 84.2%. Completion rate and zero picks travel. * 1.08 LaNorris Sellers, SC QB. 20/36/226/2/0 and 17/147 rushing vs Kentucky in a 34-35 OT loss, including a 74-yard scramble. Season: 60.5%, 1,059, 8 TD, 4 INT. The 4.5-speed, 240-pound rushing is the NFL ceiling; 55.6% and a loss keep the floor honest. * 1.09 Ryan Coleman-Williams, BAMA WR. 3/43/1 at No. 16 Miss State in a 56-23 win, the opening-drive TD. Season 20/376/4. Target share is still behind the Tide’s distribution, which is the NFL risk against a WR1 projection. * 1.10 Julian Sayin, OSU QB. 20/27/324/3 at Iowa (Power, REAL). Smith had 206 of those yards. Accuracy in a hostile Power game is real; thin frame and non-rusher profile. * 1.12 Mark Fletcher Jr., MIA RB. 16/77/2 at Clemson, 2/16 receiving, closing both second-half scoring drives. 307 rush yards lead Miami. Between-the-tackles finishing in a road Power win is the NFL note; receiving volume is still light (4/26 on the year). * 2.02 KJ Duff, RUT WR. 78 receiving yards vs Indiana in a 15-47 loss. Volume against a top-10 defense. * 2.03 Nick Marsh, IND WR. 7/120/1 at Rutgers. Paired with Becker as a 100-yard duo. Separation on in-breakers is the NFL trait * 2.05 Kewan Lacy, MISS RB. Bye, shoulder. 39/191/4 in parts of three games, missed Florida. Golding expects him at Vanderbilt on a managed count. * 2.12 Jayden Maiava, USC QB. 21/34/245/1/1 vs Washington in a 25-21 rally. Season 1,744 and 15 TD. * 3.04 Bryant Wesco Jr., CLEM WR. 9/152/0 in the 13-41 loss to Miami. Production in a blowout loss is target-earning tape. * 4.03 Josh Hoover, IND QB. 20/27/251/4 at Rutgers.

Watches: * Dante Moore ORE QB — concussion protocol. MRI/CT clean; posted “I’ll be back soon.” Oregon on bye. Next window: UCLA 10/10. * Kewan Lacy MISS RB — out, left shoulder. DNP vs Florida; no surgery. Next: TBD Week 5 report. * Ahmad Hardy MIZ RB — out, GSW/leg rehab. Still has not practiced; Drinkwitz wants two full-speed weeks first. Next: Florida 10/3 — will not play. * Nate Frazier UGA RB — out, ribs. Dressed, did not play vs Oklahoma. Next: Vanderbilt 10/3. * Trey’Dez Green LSU TE — out, knee. Missed Texas A&M; multi-week. Next: McNeese 10/3 — likely out. * Mark Fletcher Jr. MIA RB — precautionary DNP vs Central Michigan. Cristobal: expected back vs Clemson 10/3. * Cam Coleman TEX WR — left and returned vs Tennessee; 1-30. Unspecified. Next: bye, then Oklahoma 10/10. * Eric Singleton Jr. FLA WR — watch. On Florida availability report vs Ole Miss. Next: Missouri 10/3. Notes: * 1.01 Jeremiah Smith OSU WR — 12-217-4 vs Illinois in 42-19. Career highs, tied OSU single-game TD record, first-half 8-150-3. Season 33-617-7; he is the class’s only true 1.01 and the tape vs a Big Ten secondary still travels. YPR 18.7 with red-zone fade + 72-yard RAC is the WR1 prototype. * 1.02 Jadan Baugh FLA RB — 29-142-3 vs #4 Ole Miss in 52-28. Fifth straight 100-yard game (Emmitt/Fred Taylor company); 83-600-11 on the year. Between-the-tackles violence. Volume + TD rate is already NFL three-down. * 1.03 Charlie Becker IND WR — 7-98-0 on 11 targets vs Northwestern. First game without a TD but still IU’s lead receiver. Season 19-370-6, 19.5 YPR. Size/separation * 1.04 Dante Moore ORE QB — 8-of-10, 77 yards, then stretcher/hospital after Stephens targeting at USC. Concussion only; scans clean; bye this week. Pre-hit: 0 INT, high AY/A. * 1.05 Arch Manning TEX QB — 14-of-19, 201-0-1, −1 rush, 6 sacks. He said it: “I didn’t play very well.” Processing/sacks vs an SEC road front is the lag vs the name. Still the arm talent; the weekly floor is the problem. * 1.06 CJ Carr ND QB — 14-of-22, 237-3-1 + rush TD at Purdue. 35-0 at half, leftovers after. Clean enough, first INT of the year. He’s beating the teams he should; UNC (12pm ESPN) is the next real test. * 1.07 Darian Mensah MIA QB — 23-of-27, 338-3-0 + rush TD vs CMU. Season 94-of-106, 1,211-14-0. Clemson on Saturday. * 1.08 LaNorris Sellers SC QB — 18-of-30, 185-1-1 (pick-six) + 13-72 at Alabama. 419 team yards, 18 points. Dual-threat juice is real; turnovers vs Power fronts keep him behind Carr/Mensah. * 1.09 Cam Coleman TEX WR — 1-30, left and returned at Tennessee. Locked up, not the portal alpha Texas paid for. Season still 12-208-4 but the last two Power games are quiet. Role risk if Wingo keeps winning snaps. * 1.10 Ryan Coleman-Williams BAMA WR — two TD grabs in 49-18 over SC. Russell’s 365/4 night ran through him. Contested-catch WR who wins in the SEC — the bump on the 4.0 graphic is earned. * 1.11 Julian Sayin OSU QB — 27-of-36, 367-4-0 + rush TD vs Illinois. Answered Day’s “extend plays” challenge; no sacks. Smith is the cheat code. * 1.12 Kewan Lacy MISS RB — DNP, L shoulder, no surgery. Next practice report is the only news. * 2.01 Trey’Dez Green LSU TE — DNP, knee, multi-week. Size/YPR profile still TE1 in this class. * 2.02 Mark Fletcher Jr. MIA RB — precautionary DNP vs CMU. Cristobal: expected vs Clemson. * 2.03 Drew Mestemaker OKST QB — 20-of-27, 389-3 at WVU. Second-half 11-of-14, 274-2. Big 12 road environment, explosive downfield. This is why he’s QB7 and rising — not a cupcake stat line. * 2.04 KJ Duff RUT WR — 131 yards vs Howard. Indiana on Saturday is the real look. * 2.05 Nick Marsh IND WR — complementary to Becker in the NW win. * 2.07 Isaac Brown LOU RB — “barely heard from” in 27-30 home loss to Wake. Committee + dead run game. * 2.08 Justice Haynes GT RB — GT 27-34 at Stanford. Offense stalled. WATCH touches. * 2.09 Ahmad Hardy MIZ RB — has not practiced. Two-week ramp not started. * 2.10 Nate Frazier UGA RB — DNP ribs * 3.02 Mario Craver TA&M WR — Offense is the problem, not just him. * 3.04 Ryan Wingo TEX WR — 6-74, Manning’s only consistent target. Winning snaps from Coleman. * 4.01 Fluff Bothwell MSST RB — 122 rush + 55 rec, 2 TD vs #19 Missouri. Dual-threat RB1 for a 4-0 MSU. * 4.02 Hollywood Smothers TEX RB — Raleek took the TENN work (17-67-2). Committee risk. * 4.03 DJ Lagway BAY QB — 23-13 vs Colorado. Functional, not explosive. * 4.06 Raleek Brown TEX RB — 17-67-2, game-winning TD * 4.07 Braylon Staley TEN WR — 7-45 vs Texas. Volume without explosives. * 5.04 Sam Leavitt LSU QB — 17-of-23, 312-2 vs TAMU without Green. His best game of ’26.
