2025 Receiving Projections

Career best in victory
Pauling caught four passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in the Notre Dame 36-7 win over North Carolina State on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The reception numbers are not only his top yardage in a game this season, but for his career. The Wisconsin transfer had been relatively quiet until the last few weeks. His career best came with the Badgers in 2023 with 694 receiving yards on 66 catches. The senior will have to have a great second half of the season to match that season. Pauling has 243 receiving yards on 13 receptions in the first six games for the Irish. Notre Dame takes on USC on Oct. 18. The senior could have a great chance for putting up some good numbers against the Trojans whose pass defense is in the bottom quarter of the country.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pauling was one of the only bright spots of Wisconsin's passing game in 2023. He brought in 74 passes for 837 yards and six touchdowns, thriving in the slot role that remains a staple in OC Phil Longo's offense. Tanner Mordecai has moved on to the pro ranks, but the Badgers ventured to the transfer portal again to nab a signal-caller in Miami transfer Tyler Van Dyke, who seems the most likely candidate to start. Regardless, Pauling should be heavily targeted in the offense again as the Badgers look for a better Year 2 in the "Dairy Raid." Pauling's ability to get open and stretch the field should keep him at the top of Van Dyke's radar, and if the Badgers can keep consistency at the quarterback position, Pauling could challenge for his first-ever 1,000-yard season in 2024.
