2024 Receiving Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Royals came out of nowhere in 2023, bringing in 71 receptions for 1,080 yards and a whopping 15 touchdowns after three games and zero receptions in 2022. He managed to produce that line despite being alongside another star receiver in Terrell Vaughn, who ended the season with 89 receptions for 933 yards and 11 touchdowns. Now that Vaughn is gone, Royals will undoubtedly be the No. 1 target in the Utah State passing game. This will likely add to his already hefty volume in the air attack, though senior Micah Davis could be a strong candidate to take on some of Vaughn's targets. Nonetheless, Royals should continue to eat in 2024, and the Aggies brought in multiple transfers at quarterback in search of an answer, with Iowa transfer Spencer Petras claiming the starting role out of spring camp. Petras' time didn't go particularly well with the Hawkeyes, but a reduced level of competition and added talent in Royals out wide should make things go more smoothly for him in Logan.

Will miss remainder of season
Royals will miss the rest of the 2024 season, Nathan Dunn of KSL.com reports. He suffered a foot injury, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Royals has tallied a combined 40 catches over the last four games, so losing out on his production the rest of the way is a massive blow for the Aggies, and that's an understatement. The senior wideout closes out the season with 55 catches for 834 yards and six touchdowns over just seven games, and it's possible that will spell the end of his college career as well.
