Mario Anderson - Leads backfield Saturday Anderson notched 14 carries for 32 yards and caught all four targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 20-12 victory versus Florida State.

Impact While it was not a particularly efficient day for Anderson, he silenced any doubt that he is the Tigers' top back following Sutton Smith's season-ending injury. He out-touched Greg Desrosiers 18 to eight in the game and will likely be more efficient versus worse defenses as the Tigers head into conference play.

Greg Desrosiers Jr. - Officially listed as backup RB Desrosiers is officially listed as Memphis' backup running back with Sutton Smith out for the remainder of the 2024 season, Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Brendan Doyle - Catches TD Saturday Doyle reeled in their only target for four yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-17 victory over Troy.

Impact Doyle caught just one pass Saturday, a four-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. He now has two touchdowns through the first two games despite only seeing three targets. It's clear that Seth Henigan likes looking for Doyle in the redzone, but he's currently not seeing enough volume to be relied on consistently.

Roc Taylor - Quiet in Saturday's win Taylor logged four receptions (on seven targets) for 27 yards during Saturday's 38-17 victory over Troy.

Impact Taylor led the Tigers with seven targets Saturday, but only gained 27 yards. In fairness, Seth Henigan only threw for 161 yards so there was not a lot of production to go around. Despite the poor performance, Taylor is still clearly one of Henigan's favorite targets and should get back on track soon.

Demeer Blankumsee - Another quiet outing Blankumsee reeled in 4 of 5 targets for 50 yards during Saturday's 38-17 win versus Troy.

Impact Blankumsee slightly improved on his Week 1 performance Saturday, catching four passes for 50 yards. While the overall yardage wasn't great, it accounted for nearly one third of Seth Henigan's passing yards. It's been a fairly quiet start to the season for Blankumsee, but he showed his ability to have break out games last season so he's due for a productive outing soon.

Greg Desrosiers Jr. - Solid as No. 2 option Desrosiers posted eight rushes for 59 yards and gathered in all two targets for three yards during Saturday's 38-17 victory versus Troy.

Impact Sutton Smith (leg) was ruled out for the season Saturday, giving Desrosiers a chance to make his case for being the team's No. 2 option. Desrosiers made his case well as he gained 62 yards from scrimmage on 10 touches. He was clearly the No. 2 option behind Mario Anderson and will likely continue to serve in that role for the remainder of the season.
