2024 Rush/Rec Projections
Takes nearly 30 carries in defeat
Smith rushed 29 times for 142 yards and a touchdown against Memphis on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Navy found themselves in a tight contest in a game that ended 10-7, allowing the Midshipmen to lean on their wishbone offense that defines the program. As a result, Smith took a season-high 29 carries for his third game this year with at least 100 rushing yards, also scoring his sixth touchdown of the last four contests. Next week Navy faces a tough defense when they host Tulsa.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Nelson was stuck behind several running backs on the depth chart last season in Navy's wishbone offense, but he was still able to take advantage in a couple of games. In games with at least 10 carries, he averaged 84.7 yards per game. Even in an offensive system that is tough to predict from week-to-week, games with that much volume should increase in his junior season with Zach Abey and Anthony Gargiulo graduated.
