Texans selected Connecticut TE Ryan Griffin with the No. 201 overall pick. Griffin (6-foot-5 7/8, 254) ran a 4.87 forty and put up 21 reps on the bench press at the Huskies' Pro Day. He has strong hands and can line up all over the offense, but Griffin needs work as a blocker. Griffin was set to play college basketball before UConn offered him a football scholarship. He'll slide in behind Owen Daniels and Garrett Graham in Houston. |

Depth Chart

Texans selected Connecticut TE Ryan Griffin with the No. 201 overall pick. Griffin (6-foot-5 7/8, 254) ran a 4.87 forty and put up 21 reps on the bench press at the Huskies' Pro Day. He has strong hands and can line up all over the offense, but Griffin needs work as a blocker. Griffin was set to play college basketball before UConn offered him a football scholarship. He'll slide in behind Owen Daniels and Garrett Graham in Houston.
The Bills brought in UConn TE Ryan Griffin for a visit on Friday. Griffin has been lost in the tight end shuffle, but offers third day value. He has inline size with some fluidity when working downfield as a receiver. Expect a large number of prospects at the position to be selected on the third day.
Following a lost season due to academics, Michael Smith is back catching passes for the Huskies. The Huskies failed to go to a bowl last season and a large part for the downfall under first-year coach Paul Pasqualoni was the lack of a receiver that could come up with a big play on a timely basis. Though Smith could not play in games, he was able to remain in game shape by working with the scout team. Smith caught 46 passes for 615 yards and 2 TDs in 2010. He has 73 career receptions.
Running back Lyle McCombs and receiver Isiah Moore have returned to practice for UConn after serving separate suspensions.ÿ McCombs was indefinitely suspended earlier this year stemming from a marijuana charge while Moore was suspended because of a failed drug test. McCombs will serve to bolster the depth of the thin running back corps while Moore could actually make an impact in the passing game.
UConn running backs Robbie Frey and Meme Wylie have decided not to play football for the Huskies this season.ÿ Both graduate in May and will move on from Storrs. Frey is enrolling in a graduate program at Division IIÿKutztown University and will spend his last year of eligibility playing there. With Jordan Todman making the jump to the NFL and both Frey and Wylie now leaving, the Huskies only have USC-transfer D.J. Shoemate, Lyle McCombs (who was suspended indefinitely for a drug arrest), and senior Jonathan Jean-Louis on scholarship at the position.ÿ Look for Shoemate to get the bulk of the work now.
UConn has found a replacement for the departed Randy Edsall and it is Paul Pasqualoni.ÿ Pasqualoni was most recently an assistant in the NFL since being the head coach at Syracuse until 2004.ÿ Pasqualoni was chosen over Miami offensive coordinator Mark Whipple. Pasqualoni is not a homerun hire but is a good one for the Huskies.ÿ He had success while the head coach for Syracuse which bodes well for his chances at UConn...and it will help if he can find another Donovan McNabb.
UConn quarterback Cody Endres has been suspended for a violation of team rules and will be out for the rest of the season. The Huskies do have Zach Frazer as a backup but he lost his job to Endres for a reason. It is more likely that redshirt freshman Michael Box will be taking snaps.
UConn running back Robbie Frey had his knee scoped and will be out two to three weeks. Without Frey, expect Jordan Todman to continue to see the majority of carries for the Huskies, which is good news for fantasy owners.
UConn quarterback Cody Endres threw two touchdown passes and finished 21-of-30 for 179 yards in Saturday's win over Vanderbilt. His yardage numbers were average, but Endres should be a decent option in dual-conference leagues as long as Jordan Todman continues to open things up on the ground.
UConn kicker Dave Teggart and linebacker Jerome Williams were arrested for "breach of peace" after what coach Randy Edsall deemed a "cat fight" in an off-campus apartment parking lot early Tuesday morning. Neither is expected to miss any game time. If UConn is trying to gain on the likes of Florida and Georgia then they're going to have to do a lot better than a kicker and linebacker fighting in a parking lot.
UConn quarterback Cody Endres threw for 139 yards and a pair of touchdowns on Saturday in relief of struggling starter Zach Frazer. Frazer was yanked in the third quarter after throwing an interception in the third quarter. Endres took advantage of Frazer's lackluster performance and led the Huskies to a much-needed victory. Endres will get the start at QB this week.
UConn running back Robbie Frey picked up 112 yards rushing and found the end zone once against Buffalo on Saturday. The junior started the game in place of Jordan Todman, who was out with an arm injury. Frey won't get many opportunities to start but he seems capable of filling in for Todman when necessary. Keep tabs on him in case Todman goes down with any more injuries this season.
UConn replaced quarterback Zach Frazer with Cody Endres, who then proceeded to complete 7-of-11 passes for 139 yards in the win over Buffalo. We'll guess that Cody Endres remains the UConn starter, though the Husky QB spot will remain a risky start in this run-first offense.
With starting tailback Jordan Todman nursing an arm injury, UConn turned to Robbie Frey and D.J. Shoemate. Frey ran for 112 yards and a score while Shoemate posted 60 and a score of his own. Frey was the much more effective runner, averaging 8.6 yards per pop to Shoemate's 3.8. However Shoemate saw more carries. Look for Todman to return against Vanderbilt on Saturday.
UConn quarterback Zach Frazer was held without a touchdown pass and managed only 150 yards against Temple on Saturday. Things keep getting worse for UConn. Frazer has only two touchdown passes on the season and has been a disappointment fantasy-wise. He needs to turn it around if the Huskies have any hope of making noise in the Big East.
UConn junior running back Robbie Frey carried the ball 12 times for 101 yards and two scores against Texas Southern. Frey got most of the carries once Jordan Todman left the game with the Huskies clinging to a 30+ point lead. He appears to be the preferred backup over junior running back D.J. Shoemate.
Zach Frazer completed only 18 of 37 passes (49%) for 205 yards and failed to find the end zone for the first time since Week 2 of last season. Frazer didn't get much help from his receivers, most of whom had an acute case of the dropsies throughout the afternoon. One poor performance isn't reason to start questioning Frazer's effectiveness; he should rebound nicely next week at home vs. Texas Southern.
UConn has indefinitely suspended backup quarterback Cody Endres and guard Erik Kuraczea. Endes is currently behind Zach Frazer on the depth chart, so the news is only significant if something happens to the starter.
UConn head coach Randy Edsall has been really impressed with junior tailback Meme Wylie and it looks as if he wants the 5'10, 223 pound back to replace the production of Andre Dixon. Edsall was quoted saying that he wanted Wylie to "just take it and use his strength and power in certain situations". Whether this means he will be splitting the workload like Dixon last year or that he will just siphon some goal line carries, this is bad news for Jordan Todman. Todman will still put up good numbers but the amount of carries given to Wylie will be something to monitor.
UConn coach Randy Edsall said that quarterback Zach Frazer will be "the number one guy" as the team starts spring ball. Though he's #1, Frazer will have to hold off Cody Endres. Either way the UConn quarterback spot hasn't been a fantasy hotbed of late.
UConn quarterback Cody Endres separated his shoulder against Rutgers yesterday, and The Connecticut Post reports he'll undergo season-ending surgery today. It looks like Zach Frazer will return as starting quarterback.
UConn coach Randy Edsall says he still has confidence in kicker Dave Teggart even after he missed two field goal attempts last week against West Virginia. It is never a good thing to start a player that runs the risk of being replaced. Avoid Taggert this week.
Connecticut running back Andre Dixon ran for 153 yards and three touchdowns on 33 carries in the win over Louisville on Saturday. If you are not following the trend, Dixon's carries are going up while Jordan Todman's are going down. Dixon has been a solid fantasy start all year.
UConn quarterback Zach Frazer (knee) won't practice this week.
The Huskies are on a bye and play Pittsburgh on Oct. 10. Frazer was originally scheduled to return for that game.
Connecticut running back Andre Dixon ran 31 times for 149 yards and three touchdowns, while fellow running back Jordan Todman took it 22 times for 103 yards in the Huskies' win over Baylor.
This is the second time this year both of them have gone over 100 in the same game, but Saturday was Dixon's turn to find the end zone.
UConn quarterback Zach Frazer will miss the next two games with a right knee injury. Frazer will not require surgery. Cody Endres will get the start at Baylor this Saturday but is not considered a fantasy option.
UConn's Zach Frazer is the clear leader for the starting quarterback position over contender Cody Endres.
Even with UConn installing a new no-huddle offense, we expect them to keep it on the ground more often than not, making Frazer only an option in Big East heavy leagues.
ESPN blogger Brian Bennett lists Connecticut wide receiver Marcus Easley as one of his top movers and shakers this spring. Like we mentioned before, Easley's strong spring game (10 catches for 169 yard and a score) coupled with the Huskies move to a spread attack puts Easley on the fantasy radar.
Walk-on wide receiver Marcus Easley caught 10 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's Blue-White game. With UConn moving to a no-huddle offense, guys like Easley suddenly become players to watch out for.
With spring practice coming to a close this weekend for UConn there are still open spots in the starting lineup. Quarterbacks Zach Frazer and Cody Endres, running backs Andre Dixon and Jordan Todman AND kickers Dave Teggart and Desi Cullen are still fighting for starting spots at their respective positions. "We'll sit down as a staff and determine where the people are and where they align," coach Randy Edall said. "I'll meet with all the kids [next week] and they'll know exactly where they stand." Hopefully Randy will be nice enough to let us know as well.
Several reports have Andre Dixon running with renewed enthusiasm this spring. Dixon will battle Meme Wylie and Jordan Todman for the all important lead back for the Huskies. We have Dixon penciled in as the leader, but this is hardly set in stone.
The powerful Kelmetrus "Meme" Wylie is making an early impression this spring at running back for UConn. At 5-10 and 213 pounds, Wylie looks like a good candidate to see significant carries around the goal line. Before we get too excited we've also been hearing good things about Andre Dixon this spring.
UConn kicked off spring practice on Tuesday and all eyes are on the no-huddle offense being installed by new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead. Head coach Randy Edsall said the team was able to run 39 plays in a 15-minute span. Normally, they?d get in around 27 during that span. Anyone that has watched the Huskies offense over the last few years knows this is quite a departure from the norm. It sounds like Edsall is all aboard, so look for more scoring in UConn's games this fall.
As spring practice nears UConn head coach Randy Edsall appears ready to throw the quarterback combatants into the ring and see who emerges, and Zach Frazer and Cody Endres appear the favorites to emerge. Many likely assumed that Frazer would enter camp as the #1 guy, and of course, Edsall may be thinking this while looking to create as much competition as possible. The UConn starting quarterback hasn't been a fantasy goldmine by any means, though the talk of a no-huddle offense in Storrs has us at least a wee bit intrigued.
UConn, which has been one of the most conservative teams of the past few years, is still planning on moving to a predominantly no-huddle attack in 2009. This will be interesting to watch develop. New offensive coordinator Joe Morehead has begun to install the system, but it seems that no-huddle attacks often feature the passing game. The Huskies have been anything but a pass-happy attack in the past.
Connecticut's offense will have a new look and feel this fall with new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead installing a no-huddle passing offense. "We're going to put up 40 points a game. We'll be a high-scoring, fast-tempo offense. I love it," said quarterback Zach Frazier. Let's not get ahead of ourselves Zach. UConn has been run a extremely conservative, play-field-position offense under head coach Randy Edsall. Old habits are hard to break, even with a new offensive scheme. Just ask Auburn last year. Frazier is the most likely candidate to emerge as UConn's starting QB, but the real fantasy value probably still rests in RB Andre Dixon.
