Athan Kaliakmanis - Does enough in win Kaliakmanis completed 10 of 25 passes for 126 yards during Saturday's 12-10 win over Iowa. He also had eight rushes for negative seven yards. Impact Kaliakmanis avoided making any costly turnovers in this defensive battle, earning him a win against Iowa's struggling signal-caller Deacon Hill (10-for-28 passing, 116 yards, one interception). The Golden Gophers' starter once again heavily relied upon WR1 Daniel Jackson (seven catches, 12 targets, 101 yards) while the team continued to lean into its running game between Darius Taylor, Zach Evans (undisclosed) and Sean Tyler, as these three logged 35 combined carries. Through seven starts in 2023, Kaliakmanis has completed 53.4 percent of his 161 passing attempts for 923 yards and six touchdowns to six interceptions. His inconsistency combined with a game-manager role will continue to make Kaliakmanis a no-go in fantasy.
