Keyan Burnett - Sees seven targets in win Burnett caught 3 of 7 targets for 55 yards during Saturday's 21-6 victory over Hawaii.

Impact Burnett led UNLV in targets Saturday, with no other player seeing more than two. While the senior tight end hasn't put up huge numbers yet -- he's brought in five receptions on 11 targets for 64 yards through two games -- Burnett looks to have earned the trust of quarterback Jackson Arnold, establishing himself as a key piece on offense.

Jai'Den Thomas - Big day in win Thomas recorded 20 carries for 143 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-6 victory versus Hawaii.

Impact After running the ball just 12 times in UNLV's Week 0 opener, Thomas took advantage of a more run-friendly game script Saturday. The senior capped his day with a 50-yard touchdown scamper in the fourth quarter, his first score this season. Thomas has now rushed for 187 yards on 32 attempts through two games this year after totaling 1,036 yards on 148 carries in 2025.

Jackson Arnold - Leads UNLV past Hawaii Arnold was 8-for-18 passing for 116 yards during Saturday's 21-6 win against Hawaii. He also had 16 rushes for 89 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact While he only completed 44.4 percent of his passes Saturday, Arnold's athleticism was on display again against the Rainbow Warriors -- the senior's now rushed for 143 yards and three touchdowns in his first two games with UNLV. Arnold and the Rebels will carry a 1-1 record into a road matchup next week against North Texas.

SEPTEMBER 2 • Associated Press

Troy Stellato - Not listed on injury report Stellato (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's game at Hawaii.

Impact Stellato didn't play in Week 0, but his absence from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game suggests the senior wideout could be available Saturday. That'd be huge for the Rebels since two of their main wideouts, Taeshaun Lyons and Taz Reddicks, are questionable due to undisclosed injuries for Week 1.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Taz Reddicks - Questionable for Week 1 Reddicks (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at Hawaii.

Impact The Rebels could be considerably weakened in the receiving depth since both Reddicks and Taeshaun Lyons (undisclosed) are carrying questionable tags. Reddicks caught three of five targets for 45 yards in Week 0, and if he's out, Kayden McGee, Troy Stellato and Tavian McNair could see expanded roles on offense.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Taeshaun Lyons - Carrying questionable tag Lyons is questionable for Saturday's game at Hawaii.

Impact Lyons is expected to have a prominent role in the passing offense, but the questionable tag suggests the wideout might not be able to suit up Saturday. Lyons did play in Week 0 against Memphis, catching both of his targets for 23 yards. If he's unable to play, Kayden McGee, Troy Stellato and Tavian McNair could handle bigger roles on offense.

Kayden McGee - Finds end zone in Week 0 McGee hauled in 3 of 4 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 27-21 loss to Memphis.

Impact McGee led UNLV receivers in yards Saturday, highlighted by a 22-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. McGee, now in his third season in Vegas, had totaled just 97 yards on three receptions across eight games in his previous two campaigns. It was an encouraging debut for McGee, though it still remains to be seen whether anyone on UNLV's depth chart can establish themself as a true number-one option.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Jai'Den Thomas - Held in check in Week 0 Thomas logged 12 carries for 44 yards and gathered in 6 of 9 targets for 54 yards during Saturday's 27-21 loss versus Memphis.

Impact While Thomas didn't put up big numbers on the ground Saturday, the senior did make an impact through the air, ultimately leading UNLV in targets, receptions and yards. If Thomas can establish a significant role in the passing game, it would further entrench him as one of the nation's most prolific running backs. He rushed for 1,036 yards with 12 touchdowns on 148 carries last season.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Jackson Arnold - Dynamic in Week 0 Arnold was 25-for-37 passing for 291 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 27-21 defeat to Memphis. He also had 21 rushes for 54 yards with another score.

Impact While UNLV's offense faded in the second half, it was an impressive debut overall for Arnold, who completed 67.6 percent of his passes while also leading the team in rushing. Arnold had been competing with Alex Orji for the starting job late into fall camp, though it appears that the former Oklahoma and Auburn signal caller now has a firm hold on the role. Arnold and the Rebels will open conference play on the road against Hawaii in Week 1.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Troy Stellato - DNP for Week 0 Stellato (undisclosed) did not play during Saturday's 27-21 loss against Memphis.

Impact As expected, after committing to UNLV mid-January, Stellato transferred there from Kentucky. Without him, the 2026 Rebels began their season Saturday. Pre-UNLV, Stellato logged 64 receptions on 95 targets for 589 yards (9.2 averaged per catch) and two touchdowns, mostly as part of Clemson.
