2024 Fantasy Outlook
Waylee likely has one season of eligibility remaining, and it could be his best, especially after a superb first season with Wyoming last year after transferring from Northern Illinois. The 5-foot-10 running back has two straight seasons around the 900 rushing yards mark, and he even elevated his output despite a competition improvement with the Cowboys. His one issue since the beginning of his collegiate career is finding the endzone. He hasn't topped five rushing touchdowns in any of his four collegiate campaigns, and Waylee has also missed a combined four regular-season contests in the last two years. If he can stay on the field, there's certainly a chance Waylee could set a career-best touchdown total in 2024 and surpass his previous fantasy campaigns. Read Past Outlooks
Slated to undergo surgery
Waylee is set to undergo knee surgery and will miss time, though head coach Jay Sawvel believes he won't miss the entire season, according to Alex Taylor of WyoSports.
ANALYSIS
Waylee will undergo surgery to get a scope on his left knee, and a more established timetable for his return will be determined following the procedure. Waylee rushed for a career-high 947 yards in 2023, and in his absence, Jamari Ferrell, Sam Scott and DJ Jones are all slated to have more prominent roles, with Jones likely assuming the starting role.
