Kevin Jennings Looks "Great" in Return to Practice
SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings (finger) resumed throwing on Wednesday and "looked great," according to On3's sources. The senior threw four straight touchdowns in seven-on-seven drills and showed no lingering effects from his jammed index finger on his throwing hand. SMU expects him to be fully ready for the season-opening game against Florida State on Monday, September 7. The Noles are looking to bounce back from another rough showing in 2025, while SMU is vying to return to the ACC title game and the College Football Playoffs. The ACC foes will square off in a standalone primetime game on ESPN, and it feels like a lot is riding on this matchup for such an early-season showdown. Jennings is expected to be one of the top quarterbacks in the country during his final collegiate season.

Syracuse WR Umari Hatcher Has Huge Game vs. Louisville
Syracuse wide receiver Umari Hatcher set a career high with 13 receptions for 224 yards and a touchdown in a 34-26 loss to Louisville on Saturday. Hatcher became the fourth Syracuse receiver with over 200 yards in a single game. The 224 yards is the third-best in school history, and the first 200-yard game for the Orange since Amba Etta-Tawo set the school record with 270 yards against Connecticut in 2016. Hatcher is the focal point of the Syracuse offense. He's not available in many leagues, but you should see if he is in yours.

Kansas State RB Joe Jackson runs for 159 Yards vs. Kansas
Kansas State senior running back Joe Jackson ran for a season-high 159 yards on 27 carries in Kansas State's 35-24 win over rival Kansas. It was the 18th consecutive win over Kansas for the Wildcats. Jackson only scored one of the five touchdowns for Kansas State, but he was the catalyst on all of the scoring drives. Quarterback Avery Johnson also ran for over 100 yards in the win. Jackson is still involved in a committee with Oklahoma State transfer Rodney Fields, but Jackson had huge games down the stretch for Kansas State last year, including 293 yards against Utah. He's worth a look if you need RB help.

Miami's Javian Mallory Sparks Hurricanes In Second-Half Comeback
Miami true freshman running back Javian Mallory carried 13 times for 108 yards, all in the second half, to spark Miami's 43-35 double-overtime win over in-state rival Florida State. Starting RB Mark Fletcher Jr. was hobbled after a first-half arm injury and was used sparingly in the second half. Mallory made the most of his chances on the national stage with 108 yards and a pair of touchdown runs. Mallory had performed well in blowouts earlier this year, but he sparked Miami to its sixth victory here. He is worth a look in fantasy leagues if Fletcher is going to miss time with the arm injury.

Gio Lopez Throws Four Touchdown Passes In Blowout Of Cal
Wake Forest quarterback Gio Lopez set a new season high with four touchdown passes in the Demon Deacons' 41-7 blowout of Cal in Berkeley. Lopez completed 16 of his 23 passes for 267 yards and those touchdowns despite his top WR (Carlos Hernandez) being sidelined with an undisclosed injury. Lopez threw three of his four touchdowns to Hernandez's fill-in, Dominick Barry. Lopez is worth adding in all fantasy leagues. Barry is worth a look if Hernandez is going to miss time.

Ousmane Kromah Carted Off the Field
Florida State sophomore running back Ousmane Kromah (lower body) was carted off the field Saturday night with a lower-body injury in the game against No. 3 Miami. The injury appears severe; the entire Florida State team came onto the field to comfort the star running back. This season, Kromah led the Seminoles' backfield, taking 100 carries for 565 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He also added 11 catches for 97 receiving yards. Florida State will likely turn to transfer senior Quintrevion Wisner in Kromah's absence. This season, Wisner has 29 carries for 141 rushing yards and 8 catches for 95 receiving yards.

Alabama junior cornerback Zabien Brown (lower body) left Saturday's 10-26 loss to No. 14 Tennessee early due to a lower-body injury.

After the game, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer stated he is dealing with a lower-extremity injury and did not discuss a timeline for his return. This season, Brown has 17 tackles, one fumble recovery, and four pass deflections; he is a consensus top-10 cornerback prospect for the 2027 draft.

Leonard Moore Cleared To Play Against BYU
Notre Dame star cornerback Leonard Moore (head) cleared concussion protocol just in time to play against No. 8 BYU on Saturday night. The junior missed last week's game against Stanford due to the concussion, but he is back in action for the Fighting Irish on Saturday. Moore is expected to be the first cornerback off the board in the 2027 NFL draft if he decides to forgo his senior season. This season, Moore has eight tackles, four pass deflections, and has yet to record an interception, likely because opposing quarterbacks avoid his side of the field entirely.

Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons (undisclosed) was helped off the field early in the fourth quarter Saturday against Florida.

Umanmielen left the game before halftime and returned in street clothes. LSU was also dominating the game at halftime, 21-0, so Lane Kiffin and his staff may be acting out of precaution with their star edge rusher.

Bailey Stockton Good to Go
While it awaits word on wide receiver Vernell Brown III, Florida will have wide receiver Bailey Stockton (back) available against Texas on Saturday. Stockton is "good to go" for the Gators, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel, as they plan to start Tramell Jones Jr. at quarterback in place of an injured Aaron Philo. Stockton is Florida's third-leading receiver, recording 23 receptions for 258 yards and two touchdowns this season. Texas limited Oklahoma to just 155 yards passing a week ago. The Longhorns have allowed just 168.4 yards per game through the air this season.
