Returns to action in Week 4
Knighton (suspension) carried the ball eight times for 42 yards Saturday against TCU. He also made one catch for eight yards.
ANALYSIS
Knighton was suspended for the Week 3 matchup against Prairie View A&M for violating the Mustangs' class attendance policy, but the suspension was lifted, and he was able to feature in Week 4. Knighton should see regular time in the backfield if he doesn't skip his academic commitments. Knighton has yet to score a touchdown this season.

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.
