College Fantasy Update

On Friday Rasheem Dunn (St John’s) returned to action from concussion protocol, but Symir Torrence (Marquette) did not suit up due to a toe injury sustained in practice. Johnny Juzang moved into the starting lineup for UCLA, as did Selton Miguel (Kansas State). Luka Garza (Iowa) scored 34 points in 17 minutes against Iowa State, which is ridiculous.

In injury updates, Austin Davis (Michigan) is out indefinitely with a plantar fascia injury which happened last game, and EJ Liddell (Ohio State) is out indefinitely with a non-covid illness. Kaosi Ezeagu (Kansas State) will be out multiple weeks after having a knee procedure last week, but Samuell Williamson (Louisville) is ready to play in their next game.
