Sam LaPorta - Team's most productive pass catcher LaPorta finished with a team-high five catches for 83 yards on nine targets in Saturday's season opener versus Iowa State.
Impact LaPorta finished with just 271 receiving yards over eight games last season and never topped 71 in a game, so his production in the opener is a promising sign to start the 2021 campaign. That being said, it's unlikely his target share will be as consistently high as it was Saturday, so some reduction could be on tap.

Tyler Goodson - Falls just shy of century mark Goodson rushed 19 times for 99 yards and a touchdown and tallied a pair of receptions for nine yards during Saturday's opener versus Indiana.
Impact As expected, Goodson took the lead role in the Iowa backfield in what was a dominating performance by the Hawkeyes. He did cede a few carries to Ivory Kelly-Martin, but the bulk went his way, as will likely be the case throughout 2021 with Mekhi Sargent no longer part of the mix. Goodson ran 143 times last season, which would put him on pace for about 215 carries over a 12-game campaign.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Petras - Manages game in opener Petras completed 13 of his 27 pass attempts for 145 yards in Saturday's opener versus Indiana, also rushing five times for no total gain and a touchdown.
Impact Petras didn't exactly shine under center for the Hawkeyes but avoided turnovers to keep the Iowa offense churning. The defense really shined for the Hawkeyes and carried the team to victory. This may not be a theme all season, however, and there may be situations Petras will be relied upon. However, he's unlikely to cross into fantasy-relevant territory much.
