Top reserve for MSU Carr has averaged 7.6 points and 3.6 rebounds across 21.8 minutes for Michigan State through five games to start the 2024-25 season.

Impact Carr is typically one of the first off the bench for coach Tom Izzo, logging 20 or more minutes in each game this season while playing both the small forward and power forward positions. While he undoubtedly plays a valuable role for the Spartans, Carr is likely off the fantasy radar outside of Big Ten-only formats.

Top scoring day as Spartan Fidler posted 15 points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and eight rebounds across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 77-69 loss to Kansas.

Impact Fidler has started all three games for Michigan State this season, and despite an inefficient shooting day against the top-ranked team in the country here, the senior forward still managed to post season-best totals in both scoring and rebounding. Fidler's fantasy value may take a hit from the fact that MSU comfortably goes 10 deep, but he's right up there with the top shot takers and shot makers on this Spartan team.
