Leaves FAU for draft
Florida Atlantic announced Jan. 17 that Emmons will forgo a sixth year of eligibility to enter the 2021 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Emmons previously opted out of playing in FAU's 25-10 loss to Memphis in the Montgomery Bowl on Dec. 23, a decision that signaled that he was preparing to make the jump to the NFL. The running back made the move to the professional ranks official in January, with his departure likely leaving Malcolm Davidson (foot), South Florida transfer Johnny Ford, James Charles and Larry McCammon (ankle) as the main candidates to handle work out of the backfield in 2021. During his two-year stay at FAU after arriving as a transfer from the JuCo ranks, Emmons amassed 353 yards and seven touchdowns on 88 carries to go with five receptions for 18 yards.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Devin Singletary is a tough act to follow, but Emmons is an intriguing player who has a chance to post major production after two years away from the FBS level. Emmons was a blue-chip Alabama recruit who brings a physical running style at 6-foot and 230 pounds. He’s favored to start in an offense that ran the ball just under 60 percent of the time in 2018 and ranked 17th in tempo (77.5 plays per game). It’s unfair to expect Singletary’s production level, but Emmons should see similar usage and his pedigree suggests he’ll have success within that role.
