KeAndre Lambert-Smith - Leading receiver in loss Lambert-Smith caught 4 of 6 targets for 78 yards during Saturday's 17-7 loss versus Vanderbilt.

Impact In a lost season for the Tigers, Lambert-Smith has provided one of the few silver linings. Lambert-Smith is fifth in the SEC in receiving yardage, and tied for first in the conference in touchdown receptions. The Tigers have a bye before a non-conference clash with ULM.

Jarquez Hunter - Held in check in loss Hunter notched 12 carries for 50 yards and hauled in 3 of 4 targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 17-7 defeat versus Vanderbilt.

Impact Just one week after rushing a staggering 278 yards, Hunter was held in check by the much-improved Vanderbilt Commodores. Hunter needs just 87 yards for 1,000 in the ground in 2024, though, and he has a great chance to hit that mark in two weeks against ULM.

Payton Thorne - Tosses touchdown in loss Thorne was 20-for-29 passing for 239 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 17-7 loss versus Vanderbilt.

Impact On paper, the numbers were not bad for Thorne, but the Auburn offense managed just seven points for the entire game, and the Tigers have scored over 25 points just once in 2024. Auburn has a bye before a cupcake matchup with ULM, though, so Thorne has the chance to right the ship, at least for one game.

Rivaldo Fairweather - Finds end zone in loss Fairweather reeled in 5 of 7 targets for 66 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 17-7 defeat against Vanderbilt.

Impact Fairweather has had a down senior season after scoring six times as a junior in 2023. Still, this was arguably his best output of the season. The Tigers have a bye before a non-conference clash with ULM, so perhaps Fairweather will be able to take advantage of the favorable matchup.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith - Finds end zone in win Lambert-Smith hauled in 4 of 6 targets for 53 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-10 victory over Kentucky.

Impact Lambert-Smith bounced back from a subpar performance last weekend to score his seventh touchdown of the season. He is averaging over 19 yards per grab in 2024. The Tigers clash with Vandy next weekend, though the Commodores are much-improved so this is no longer a cupcake matchup.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Jarquez Hunter - Mammoth performance in win Hunter accrued 23 rushes for 278 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in 4 of 6 targets for 19 yards during Saturday's 24-10 victory over Kentucky.

Impact Hunter smashed his previous career high of 183 rushing yards en route to a signature performance, giving Auburn its first conference win of the season. Hunter has rushed for 863 yards on the year and should break his prior season-high of 909 yards rushing next weekend against Vandy, though the Commodores are much-improved.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Payton Thorne - Pilots victory Thorne was 20-for-26 passing for 172 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 24-10 win versus Kentucky. He also had 12 rushes for 10 yards.

Impact Thorne has at least one touchdown passes in six of seven games played in 2024. However, he has failed to pass for over 215 yards in five of the last six contests. He is unlikely to break out next weekend against a much-improved Vandy squad.
