2024 Rush/Rec Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Connors assumed the bulk of rushes in the 2023 season, finishing the year with 771 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 121 totes. He posted 30 carries more than the team's second-leading rusher, Juma Otaviano, whose departure should open the door for Connors to increase his workload in 2024. Connors was also highly productive as a receiver, turning in 43 catches for 403 yards and a trio of touchdowns, so there's additional upside for the senior in PPR formats. Read Past Outlooks
Chooses Houston
Connors will transfer to Houston, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Connors is coming off a second straight excellent season for Rice. In 2024, he ran for 780 yards and nine touchdowns on 4.9 yards-per-carry. He's also reeled in 105 receptions for 88 yards and five touchdowns over the past two years combined. His ability to stress defenses as a receiver should help him crack the Cougars' running back rotation immediately in Houston.
