Out for 2024
Wheaton is out for 2024 due to a knee injury, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wheaton underwent knee surgery, confirming his absence for SMU's 2024 season. It was expected to include him as a primary option at running back, but this year's Mustangs must now rely more on other backs like Jaylan Knighton and LJ Johnson Jr.. Brashard Smith and Zane Minors are a few of several more candidates who could receive upticks in output.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Wheaton is the wild card on this list but there’s reason to believe he’s deserving of being on it. A consensus five-star in 2021, Wheaton did not get on the field in his freshman season at Alabama due in part to a meniscus injury. He now becomes one of the most talented players on SMU, let alone in its backfield. Now, SMU will likely stay pass-happy under Rhett Lashlee, but Wheaton should see a heavy share of the rushing work available and should have explosive per-carry production against AAC defenses. Wheaton is the SMU back to target even if Tre Siggers still has a role.
