ANALYSIS
Knighton underwent season-ending knee surgery in September, cutting his senior season and his second campaign with SMU short. He'll now head to West Virginia for his final season, where he'll look to resume his role as a top tailback. The last time he got a full season to showcase his skills, Knighton ran for 745 yards and seven scores on 5.5 yards-per-carry with the Mustangs in 2023.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Knighton has struggled as a runner through two years, averaging under four yards per carry in that span, but he stands out more easily as a pass catcher and in any case did something to earn the trust of the Miami coaches, who made Knighton their lead runner ahead of other qualified candidates last year. The problem for Knighton is he's unlikely to turn into a highly efficient runner overnight, and his workload might otherwise be limited due to Miami's backfield depth. If he does improve his rushing production, though, it could propel a breakout year.
