Athan Kaliakmanis - Swallowed up against CornhuskersKaliakmanis was 15-for-37 passing for 186 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 14-7 defeat versus Nebraska. He also had nine rushes for -12 yards.
ImpactKaliakmanis had his worst performance in what's been a subpar season for him. The Minnesota transer was sacked four times and did not score a touchdown until the final five minutes of the game when he hit Ben Black for an 11-yard passing score. His final stat line could have been much better if Black had also hauled in a deep pass that likely would have resulted in a touchdown, but the ball bounced off Black's helmet for a back-breaking incompletion. Kaliakmanis has scored just twice while completing 52.3 percent of his passes since Week 2. He'll look to clean it up for this coming Saturday's home game against a 3-2 Wisconsin squad.

Dymere Miller - Has five targets in lossMiller posted two receptions (on five targets) for 35 yards during Saturday's 14-7 loss versus Nebraska.
ImpactMiller saw his targets stagnate for the second week in a row after totaling 20 over the first three games of the season. The senior wideout logged fewer targets than fellow wideouts Chris Long (nine) and KJ Duff as well as tight end Kenny Fletcher (six). No pass-catcher found much success with quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis completing just 15 of 37 passes for 186 yards. With an extremely limited passing game, Miller won't warrant much fantasy attention unless he can establish himself as the clear-cut WR1 moving forward.

Samuel Brown V - Three carries in lossBrown tallied three rushes for 12 yards during Saturday's 14-7 loss to Nebraska.
ImpactBrown didn't make any impact after totaling three touchdowns over the previous two games. The junior looked like he could be in line for a true RB2 role with 28 carries through his first two games. But, he's now accrued just eight rushing attempts across the past two games. Unless the Scarlet Knights can get out to a big lead, then it looks like star senior running back Kyle Monangai will continue to log the vast majoriy of rushing attempts for the team going forward.

Kyle Monangai - Finally stymied in lossMonangai logged 19 carries for 78 yards and gathered in two of three targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 14-7 defeat versus Nebraska.
ImpactMonangai was truly hemmed in and failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season. The senior running back still carried a heavy workload, but the Scarlet Knights were forced to drop back far more than they would have liked while coming back from a 14-0 deficit in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis completed 15 of 37 passing attempts for 186 yards, and it was clear that the team's offense could not function without a strong performance by Monangai. Rutgers will will look to stick to its game script better during this coming Saturday's home game versus a Wisconsin defense that has been uncharacteristically week stopping the run this season.
