Javon Tracy - Pair of special teams scores Tracy totaled five receptions (on seven targets) for 98 yards while accounting for two punt return touchdowns during Thursday's 59-7 win versus Eastern Illinois.
Impact While Tracy led the way for the Golden Gophers in yards and receptions on the day, his true contributions came on special teams. The 6-foot receiver accounted for a pair of punt return touchdowns on the day to help build an insurmountable lead as Minnesota cruised to victory over FCS Eastern Illinois. While the special teams scores can't exactly be counted on every week, his target share and big-play ability clearly show a path to potential value moving forward. A tougher matchup against Mississippi State awaits next week.

Darius Taylor - Three scores in blowout Taylor logged 14 carries for 56 yards and three touchdowns and gathered in all three targets for 31 yards during Thursday's 59-7 win over Eastern Illinois.
Impact Taylor started off the 2026 season with a bang, finding the end zone on a trio of touchdown trips during Minnesota's blowout win over FCS Eastern illinois. The 6-foot running back found the end zone on a one-yard plunge in the first quarter and followed up with scoring scampers of 27 and three yards in the second frame to help build an insurmountable lead. Coming off a bit of a lost season due to injury, Taylor started off with a step in the right direction in Week 1, but will get a tougher test against Mississippi State on Saturday.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Drake Lindsey - Efficient in blowout Lindsey completed 19 of 24 passes for 264 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 59-7 victory against Eastern Illinois.
Impact Lindsey did was he needed to in a season opening blowout victory over FCS Eastern Illinois on Saturday. The 6-foot-5 quarterback completed nearly 80 percent of his passes on the day while connecting with tight end Pierce Walsh on a one-yard scoring strike just before halftime. While his raw numbers aren't elite, a blowout gamescript limited his opportunities in the passing game, particularly in the second half. A tougher test against Mississippi State awaits next week.

Kaden Helms - Plays in opener Helms (undisclosed) played in the Week 1 matchup against Eastern Illinois, according to Dylan Callaghan Croley of On3.com.
Impact Helms didn't catch a pass in Week 1, but seeing him on the field was certainly a positive. Pierce Walsh was named the starting tight end for Minnesota, but if Helms stays healthy, he should be in the mix for regular targets in the passing game.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Pierce Walsh - Finds end zone in opener Walsh caught all two targets for 28 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 59-7 victory against Eastern Illinois.
Impact Walsh reeled in his first touchdown of the season on a 1-yard pass from Drake Lindsey to extend Minnesota's lead. The tight end made one other catch for 27 yards.

Daniel Jackson - With first-team in warmups Jackson was seen taking reps with the first-team field goal team ahead of Thursday's game against Eastern Illinois, Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Jackson might have an opportunity to be the Gophers' starting kicker, considering he was with the first team and Luke Drezewicki (not injury related) is out. The final ruling will come down to him or Beckham Sunderland, though a decision has not been made.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Drzewiecki - Not dressed Thursday Drzewiecki (not injury related) is not dressed ahead of Thursday's game versus Eastern Illinois, Ryan Burns of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact With his eligibility status still up in the air and pending court cases, Drzewicki is not dressed ahead of Thursday's season opener. With his absence, kicking duties will either go to Daniel Jackson or Beckham Sunderland, but Jackson looks more likely at this point considering he was seen warming up with the first field goal team during pregame warmups.

Impact Walsh was observed wearing a cast on his wrist and seems to still need more time before coming back to practice. The senior tight end will aim for a more productive season after finishing with two receptions for 17 yards across four games last season.
