Omari Kelly - Back to realty after career day Kelly had four catches on seven targets for 12 yards against Duke on Saturday.

Impact After doing less than nothing against Mississippi, Kelly exploded for nine catches, 239 yards, and three touchdowns against WKU. Then, he had to visit Duke, and things went pear shaped again. This is Kelly's first season as a Conference USA player, and he was stellar in his one conference game. There's a lot left to learn here.

Jekail Middlebrook - Not dressed Saturday Middlebrook (undisclosed) did not dress for Saturday's game against Duke, per Sam Doughton of Middle Tennessee Athletics.

Impact Middlebrook did not dress for Saturday's matchup against the Blue Devils, leaving Middle Tennessee's backfield a little bare with fellow running back Frank Peasant also sidelined with an injury. Middlebrook has struggled to get things going on limited opportunities to start the 2024 season, carrying the ball seven times for just 12 yards through three games, adding 27 yards through the air on three receptions as well. The redshirt freshman running back will hope to make his way back onto the field in time for Saturday's matchup against Memphis.

Frank Peasant - Not dressed Saturday Peasant (undisclosed) did not dress for Saturday's game against Duke, per Sam Doughton of Middle Tennessee Athletics.

Impact The senior running back was previously listed as questionable after missing Middle Tennessee's previous matchup against Western Kentucky with an undisclosed injury, but Peasant apparently was unable to progress enough in his recovery to play against the Blue Devils. Peasant ran for 49 yards and two touchdowns for the Blue Raiders in their season opener against Tennessee Tech and will hope to return to the field in time for Saturday's matchup against Memphis.

Holden Willis - Finds end zone Willis caught three passes for 60 yards and a score Saturday versus Duke.

Impact All that was missing from the tight end was a touchdown. Last year Willis turned heads by coming out of nowhere to have 46 catches for 697 yards and five touchdowns. He's now over 250 yards through four games this season, but this is his first time finding the end zone.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Terry Wilkins - Fumbles twice Wilkins ran 13 times for 42 yards and had two catches for 14 yards against Duke on Saturday. However, he also lost two fumbles.

Impact Wilkins started the season third on the depth chart, but with Frank Peasant (undisclosed) out, he got a chance to earn some more carries going forward. It's fair to say he very much did not do that.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jaiden Credle - Breaks off long TD Credle ran 12 times for 125 yards and a touchdown against Duke on Saturday. He also caught four passes for 16 yards.

Impact Credle is getting an opportunity with Frank Peasant (undisclosed) out. He did take off for a 66-yard touchdown scamper, but he came into this game having averaged 2.6 yards per carry, so he has to prove he has big-play ability beyond one run.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Nicholas Vattiato - Tough day against Duke Vattiato went 21-for-33 for 127 yards, one touchdown, and one interceptions against Duke on Saturday. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Barely eking over 120 yards on 33 attempts and having more turnovers than touchdowns aren't going to cut it. Vattiato did play well against WKU, and that is a conference opponent, so that may buy the incumbent QB some leeway. However, head coach Derek Mason did not recruit him, and he may be willing to move on.

Frank Peasant - Sidelined Saturday Peasant (undisclosed) didn't play Saturday against Western Kentucky.

Impact Peasant had only one touch in Middle Tennesse's Week 2 loss to Mississippi, so it's unclear if he's dealing with an injury that also sidelined the senior running back Saturday. It'll be worth monitoring Peasant's status leading up to next week's contest with Duke.

Holden Willis - Tallies 73 yards Willis caught four passes for 73 yards Saturday versus WKU.

Impact Willis, who is a tight end on the depth chart but plays more like a slot receiver, transferred to MTSU from South Florida last year and had 46 catches for 697 yards and five scores. He has 13 catches for 199 yards through three games. That's good for a tight end, but a touchdown or two would be nice.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Omari Kelly - Huge game against Hilltoppers Kelly caught nine passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns versus WKU on Saturday.

Impact Now this is what MTSU hoped for when Kelly transferred in from Auburn. Of course, it wasn't for a lack of trying. While Kelly came into this game with five catches for 46 yards, that was on 12 carries. Now he's had the chance to turn his targets into big numbers against a conference opponent.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jaiden Credle - Struggles on the ground again Credle ran nine times for 19 yards and had two catches for 13 yards against MTSU on Saturday.

Impact Once again, Credle served as the lead back for the Blue Raiders. However, he has all of 34 yards on 17 carries over the last two games. It would appear MTSU's run game is in major trouble.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Nicholas Vattiato - Throws three TDs, INT Vattiato went 24-for-31 for 456 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception against WKU on Saturday. He also ran nine times for 21 yards.

Impact This is a nice bounce back for Vattiato, who reasonably struggled against Ole Miss last week. He was efficient and threw for a ton of yards, even with the pick. Vattiato does have an interception in every game, though, and he threw 13 of them last season.
