2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wester balled out at Florida Atlantic in 2023 with 108 catches on 152 targets for 1,168 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 12.7 targets per game. He even added a rushing score on his way to being named First Team All-AAC. Wester may not dominate the target share quite as much in Boulder, but he joins a Colorado offense that threw the ball 57.0 percent of the time last season; an offense led by stud quarterback and potential 2025 NFL Draft first overall pick Shedeur Sanders. While Xavier Weaver is gone, Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn return, and Colorado also added Vanderbilt transfer Will Sheppard to form perhaps the best receiver room in all of the Big 12 Conference. Wester should be squarely in the plans for the explosive Buffaloes passing attack and has major upside should he prove to be the top wideout option. Read Past Outlooks
Scores touchdown in victory
Wester notched six receptions (on seven targets) for 82 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-27 victory versus Texas Tech.
ANALYSIS
Wester has been a critical piece of Shedeur Sanders' success this season, especially during Travis Hunter's absence a few weeks ago. Wester has registered a great stat line this year despite Hunter's prolific totals, with 45 catches for 583 yards and eight touchdowns.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
You look at Wester's overall numbers, see that he had 62 catches for 719 yards and eight touchdowns, and you may feel encouraged. However, it was a tale of two seasons. Over the last six games of the 2022 campaign, Wester had 23 catches for 277 yards and zero touchdowns. That's concerning, to be sure. Is there any reason for enthusiasm for the receiver? Perhaps. For starters, he's the only returning Owls receiver who had more than five, yes five, receptions in 2022. Second, Wester is potentially getting a better passer under center to throw him the ball. N'Kosi Perry is out, and the former Miami quarterback was quite good last season. However, Casey Thompson is the presumed new starter for the Owls, and he once threw 24 touchdowns for the Texas Longhorns. Also joining Thompson is his former head coach at Texas, Tom Herman. Wester needs to prove himself, but he doesn't have many challengers for targets.
