Returns to field Saturday
Herdman (upper body) returned to the field Saturday against Iowa, Mike Carmin of the Lafayette Journal & Courier reports.
ANALYSIS
Herdman didn't record a stat in the contest, but it's encouraging that he was at least able to play. He hasn't caught more than three passes in a game this season, so the senior tight end likely remains off the fantasy radar until he can produce more consistently. With only three weeks left and Herdman's injury prone to flare-ups, it may be best to leave him on the waiver wire.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Herdman emerged as a reliable chain-moving target for Purdue as a sophomore last year, reeling in 35 catches for 344 yards and three touchdowns. He might double that production in 2017, as Purdue lost four of its other top-five leading receivers from last year, making Herdman the team's top returning pass catcher. New coach Jeff Brohm is one of college football's most impressive tacticians, and one with a history of making productive tight ends, so Herdman's overall playing situation should improve his numbers even more than his own progression does.
