2025 Fantasy Outlook
Klubnik's first couple of seasons in the college football ranks didn't lead to him blowing the doors off the competition, but boy did that change in 2024. He closed out the regular season throwing for 3,041 yards and a 29:5 TD:INT ratio, adding 92 carries for 437 yards and seven touchdowns as a rusher, leading the Tigers to the ACC Championship Game and a College Football Playoff berth. While it was an early exit for Clemson, Klubnik certainly wasn't the problem, throwing for a combined 598 yards and seven touchdowns in the two contests. He's back to close out his college career in 2025 and arguably has the best wideout room in the country at his disposal, featuring returnees Antonio Williams, TJ Moore and Bryant Wesco. Also gone is Phil Mafah, leading to some questions in the running back room, but he accounted for just a 6.2 percent target share. Also gone is Jake Briningstool, which will be a bit more difficult to replace, but the budding wideout room is more than capable of absorbing additional targets, and Olsen Patt-Henry appears set to assume starting duties at tight end. All signs point to another top-notch campaign for Klubnik in 2025, and he projects as the top quarterback off the board in most fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks
Limited in practice
Klubnik (thumb) is limited in practice and didn't throw the ball in Monday's session, Derrian Carter of The Greenville News reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear how Kubnik injured his thumb, as Clemson wideout Tyler Brown was the one that told reporters the quarterback didn't throw the ball in Monday's practice. With the Pinstripe Bowl against Penn State still over a week out, the gunslinger has time to get his thumb right before his last game in a Clemson uniform. Klubnik tossed for 2,750 yards, 16 touchdowns and 6 interceptions this year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Expectations and pressure alike are abound for Cade Klubnik as he enters his first season as the Tigers starting quarterback. The national power has had uneven quarterback play over the past few seasons, and the former top recruit is being asked to return it to elite levels. Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising given limited 2022 chances, but Klubnik was uneven in his initial opportunities, shining against North Carolina in the ACC Championship game before limping a bit in the Orange Bowl against Tennessee. Klubnik’s arm talents aren’t a concern, and he offers capable mobility with his legs, giving fantasy managers a bit of a bump there too. The excitement comes from the addition of new offensive coordinator Garrett Riley, who turned TCU QB Max Duggan into a Heisman Finalist, and brings a far more dynamic scheme than former OC Brandon Streeter. Clemson however hasn’t had elite receivers of late either, and we know they’ll be able to run successfully. All in all, the opportunity and system are in place for a major breakout, even if it comes with some week to week inconsistency due to a possible lack of game-changing pass catchers.
