For me, it is Demie (#0) ... he just seems to make plays. I realize he cannot take carries from Davis, of course, but can he play some slot receiver (or somewhere else) to get touches ??

He's the only player I can think of that needs more playing time, based on what I've seen. I am not familiar enough with talent on the depth chart to know of anyone else.

 
1. DSK (Clearly our best backup at RB) - should get the majority of McClain's snaps IMO.
2. Anthony Brown-Stephens (since our starters are having difficulties catching the ball)
3. Tanner Bowles (did a remarkable job in the snaps he got Saturday, and the more depth we have on the O-Line, the better)
4. Shamar Porter (see point #2 - the starters aren't getting it done, should let Porter use his redshirt allotted time and see what he can do)
5. Fearbry - So much potential there, seems to be really disruptive when he's in.
 
Crowdus and/or Brown-Stephens if a couple of guys keep having these drops. Also would like to see our tall guys Banks and Porter get some reps.
I've been thinking along those same lines. Stoops talked glowingly about Crowdus in his presser. Not saying Key and Brown should be benched. Brown-Stephenson got 20 reps but zero targets, I would just like to see both of these targeted once or twice in this game to mix things up a bit. Porter has pretty much been forgotten about it seems. I don't think he has played any this year except maybe on ST, but if he can add something to the passing game that would be great.

If you go back to Stoops presser after the Akron game, some reporter asked about the problems at center Stoops said it would be fixed and we saw Cox start the next game. He said they always needed to have guys ready to step up when things didn’t go as planned. In an interview after the UF game when asked about the drops he directly said it would be fixed. My thoughts are we’re probably going to see some other guys targeted who may actually get more pt if they step up.

Don't know if it's necessarily more minutes, but Dingle, Robinson and Cummings need to be targeted more.
 
Alex Afari is a guy I try to get on the field more because he is a flat playmaker. I love JJ but I think Alex gives us more speed and aggressiveness on the edge. I get he's not a true edge by size etc but he can play there and make plays with his speed. He's kind of our swiss army knife guy that can play any where, fast enough to cover and strong enough to play up close and athletic enough to avoid blocks and make plays.

I would love to see Crowdus get going. We obviously need another WR to step up because of injuries and a couple of guys who rested on their laurels this offseason.

I think (at least hope) they get it going but I do believe they let their success last season go to their heads somewhat. I understand they’re still kids as we understand in this age but they made the claim back in the summer of being the best receiving duo in the country. Easy to talk the talk but you have to back it up.

Raynor. Hands down. More time on the field for Raynor. I don't care how he gets there, as long as he's swinging his leg when he gets there.
