Oregon Ducks
2024 Fantasy Outlook
As he approaches his final year of eligibility, Gabriel has the chance to elevate his play under center twofold as he joins a recently successful Oregon squad. Gabriel finished the 2023 season with Oklahoma, passing for 3,660 yards, 30 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The 5-foot-11 field general will jump into an offense under Dan Lanning that enabled Bo Nix to go from 11 passing touchdowns in his sophomore season with Auburn to then 29 touchdowns in his junior year and 45 touchdowns, along with being a Heisman finalist by the time he was a senior. Gabriel will follow a similar path as he transfers to Oregon later in his college football career, and he'll have ample resources to aid his success. With wide receiver Tez Johnson returning, who eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards last season, and Texas A&M transfer Evan Stewart likely jumping into the role of NFL-bound wide receiver Troy Franklin, Gabriel will have all he'll need to lead a successful year, if not a Heisman-level campaign.

Stars in resurgent offense
September 15, 2024
Gabriel completed 20 of 24 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 49-14 win against Oregon State. He also had four rushes for 64 yards with one touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Oregon's offense looked like last year's dominant unit for the first time with Gabriel under center. The Oklahoma transfer's two highlight plays came in the second quarter, including when he sprinted for a 54-yard touchdown on a speed option followed by a 20-yard touchdown pass to Traeshon Holden in the back of the end zone. Oregon's offense appeared to overcome the mistakes and struggles in the rushing game that held it back in the first two weeks of the season. Meanwhile, Gabriel also remained highly efficient, as he's now completed 84 percent of his 94 passing attempts through three contests. If this unit continues to make strides like this, then Gabriel should have no issues piloting what many picked to be one of the best offenses in college football during the preseason. The Ducks will have a bye week before going on the road Sept. 28 to face what has been a dismal UCLA team so far this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Gabriel will be the unquestioned starter during the 2023 season and when you consider that Oklahoma averaged 37 points per game and 510 yards per game in his 11 starts, it makes sense why. In the two games where he did not start, the Sooners averaged just 12 points per game and 275 yards per game, a huge drop off in production. The Big 12’s Newcomer of the Year was sensational last season with 25 passing scores and six rushing touchdowns. On the flip side, Gabriel did lose his top targets in Marvin Mims and Brayden Willis, so he will need to rely on Jalil Farooq making a leap or getting contributions from Michigan transfer Andrel Anthony at wide receiver. The Sooners are stacked at running back and the offensive line, so this should be a balanced offense in 2023. Gabriel has the upside to be the best quarterback in the conference and potentially one of the best in the nation.
There are many things that will be different in Norman this fall but high-level quarterback play won’t be among them with Dillon Gabriel reuniting with his former UCF OC, Jeff Lebby, whom he played under in 2019. Gabriel threw 29 touchdowns with a 9.2 YPA that year and followed it up with 32 passing TDs in 10 games as a sophomore before missing much of 2021 with injury. He’s already familiar with the offense and, despite Oklahoma’s transfer portal exodus this offseason, still has a solid supporting cast. Gabriel won’t offer much as a runner, but gaudy passing production should be on the way.
Gabriel ranked first in passing yards per game (357) and turned in a 32:4 TD:INT on 413 attempts, but a new offense complicates his outlook. Gus Malzahn’s offenses at Auburn ranked in the top half of FBS in passing yards per game just once in his last five years (2017). Malzahn should fit his scheme to the talent at UCF, but Gabriel’s overall volume is likely to take a hit. He also loses three of his top targets from 2020. Gabriel has the talent to still produce, and the new scheme could boost his rushing, but it will be challenging for him to replicate his passing numbers.
