The fantasy football off-season is a long and arduous journey for many. You battle through the final weeks of winter with a forced smile and a warm, potentially spiked beverage. Yet for many in the fantasy football community, the off-season is a busy time in which you’re recalibrating rosters and forecasting the future.
Devy is one such area this occurs. Devy owners are constantly seeking the next fantasy star, often discovering them during a review of the previous season. The Devy 100 is intended to forecast those next stars and identify which talent is worth investing in. For the first time, these are in a superflex format due to this becoming the default at DLF.
100. Jaylan Knighton, RB Miami Hurricanes (2023 Draft-Eligible)
Profile: An explosive athlete with a north-south running style, Knighton has been limited by a suspension and the general inconsistencies of the Hurricane offense. A talent like Knighton should not hover around four yards per tote in each of his first two seasons, and while he has to shoulder some of the blame, the hope is a revamped coaching staff and commitment to the football program helps him reach his potential.
The good news with Knighton is he has shown plus receiving skills over his first two seasons. He has caught 31 passes in the timeframe, showcasing soft hands and the ability to terrorize defenders in the open field. If he can showcase improved interior running skills within the new offense, his stock could soar.
2022 Outlook: New coaching staffs always put incumbents on notice. Mario Cristobal and company brought in transfer running back Tiyon Evans, though on the plus side Cristobal did offer Knighton while he was at Oregon. The new staff should still lean on its best returning weapons, and Knighton counts among them as a gifted playmaker.
