Rutgers Scarlet Knights (14-10, 6-7 Big Ten) face a Minnesota Gophers (15-9, 6-7) side that wants a win. While offensive opportunities may be limited in this game, there are still some good fantasy opportunities. On the one hand, Minnesota attempts to outscore you, but this opens opposing players to have a good game. Also, Rutgers can be stingy on the defensive end. Therefore, points are hard to come by against them. But they will be facing a talented Dawson Garcia. Garcia spearheads this offense and will be hard to slow down. Because of the importance of a win, you can luckily expect both teams to play well tonight and give it their all.
But where are some of the best areas for you to find value for your fantasy team?

Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Minnesota Gophers Obvious Starts
Derek Simpson-G ($5,800 DK)
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights player is contributing 20.9 FPPG this year. But against the Minnesota Gophers, that should easily go up. Particularly against their defense, he should see increased chances. Not only through scoring but do not be surprised to see him post close to a double-double.
Cam Christie- G ($5,700 DK)
The Minnesota Gophers guard should have a good day at home. He’s coming off a 19-point and 6-rebound effort. Although the Rutgers Scarlet Knights have a more complete team than the Michigan State Spartans, this is still someone you need to strongly consider for today!
Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Minnesota Gophers Start ‘Em
Jamichael Davis– G ($4,900 DK)
Davis was in something of a scoring slump but against Northwestern things appear to be trending upward. The guard is coming off a 17.0 fantasy points game and that should go up today. He’s starting to shoot the three-ball more often. If that starts falling as well, he’ll be in for a great afternoon!
Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Minnesota Gophers Sit ‘Em
Elijah Hawkins– G ($6,700 DK)
Today will not be good for him. Rutgers has a good defense and the game plan will focus on slowing Hawkins down. Although he is a tremendous player, other teammates on the Minnesota Gophers will need to step up today. Expect the ball to be forced out of his hands. If he’s going to score it will have to be in transition or off a good contest. But he’s unlikely to give you 3x fantasy value today.
Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Minnesota Gophers Lock of the Day
Jeremiah Williams-G ($ 7,200 DK)
Williams needs to have a big game against the Minnesota Gophers today. He’s contributed at least 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in his last two games. Against today’s opponent, he keeps that trend! Don’t be surprised to watch him even get into the mid-20s today for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
