2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a breakout season in which he ran for 965 yards and 13 touchdowns, Mafah is set to be the lead back in Clemson's backfield. Prior to last fall, the tailback hadn't been used as the primary ball carrier for the Tigers. But as the season wore on, Mafah's workload increased and he proved he was capable of lead-back duties. With 21 catches last season, he also started to incorporate himself into the passing game, a trend that should only increase as he takes over the Tigers' backfield full-time. Will Shipley's departure means that besides Mafah, Clemson returns next to nothing in terms of running back production. Mafah's backups, Jay Haynes and Keith Adams Jr., combined for 95 rushing yards last season. This will be Mafah's backfield, and he should dominate the carries until further notice. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Much like the rest of the Tigers offense Mafah dominated on Saturday rushing for nearly 12 yards per carry while also finding the end zone.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Phil Mafah is poised to reprise his role as a complementary piece in the Clemson backfield to lead dog Will Shipley. Mafah managed 5.3 yards per carry and four touchdowns last season on 98 carries but hasn’t been much of a use in the Tigers’ passing game, catching just nine balls. Mafah is a 6-foot-1, 230-pound load capable of being a featured back, making him a terrific handcuff if that’s a path you’re willing to go down. New Tiger OC Garrett Riley loosely supported a second back last year, with Emari Demercado going for 681 yards and 121 carries, and Riley’s offense also afforded TCU QB Max Duggan 137 attempts, a number Tiger QB Cade Klubnik likely isn’t going to sniff despite being a capable runner. It still seems unlikely Mafah can carve out his own fantasy value without an unfortunate incident occurring to Shipley, but there does appear to be a slight path for an uptick in workload.
