Unavailable vs. Sam Houston
Baxter (undisclosed) won't be available for Texas' clash with Sam Houston, per HornSports.
ANALYSIS
Baxter left Texas' game against UTEP with a hamstring injury and has now been ruled out early in preparation for Week 4. With Quintrevion Wisner (undisclosed) also a question mark, the Longhorns' backfield could be down to its third and fourth-string tailbacks. Jerrick Gibson got 18 carries in the win over UTEP last week.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fans caught a glimpse of the 2023 five-star's ability to handle a full workload after Jonathon Brooks tore his ACL last year, and the early signs were encouraging. Baxter handled 69 rushing attempts in the final five games and ran for 330 yards (4.8) and two touchdowns to go with 13 catches on 14 targets in that span. 4.8 YPC doesn't stand out, especially when Brooks was peeling off 6.1 YPC, but it's important to remember Baxter was a true freshman. Even with Texas moving to the SEC, Baxter still profiles as an elite fantasy running back who is not only talented, but should handle the bulk of the workload for an explosive Texas offense.
