2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jordan Waters will look to at least maintain his 2022 production in his fifth year in Durham. Duke’s backfield, regardless of coaching staff, has historically been a committee approach, and last year was no different, as 424 of the team’s 484 attempts were split between four players. That screams headaches for fantasy managers. Waters’ appeal last year largely came from his eight touchdowns, as he only had four games with 13 or more carries, topping 61 yards only twice. Waters also offers next to nothing in the passing game, snagging just 16 balls in his first extended action. Touchdowns are a challenge to predict or draft upon, but that role does seem secure for the 215 pounder, who has nearly 20 pounds on the more dynamic Jaquez Moore. Given Duke’s history of committee backfields, and the fact that everyone returns from 2022, nothing suggests a breakout is in store for Waters. That likely makes him far more valuable to the Blue Devils than your fantasy roster, but there will be weeks where he pops, making for a decent depth piece or bye-week plug in when needed.

Waters will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, Brad Crawford of 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The senior running back will enter the transfer portal after four seasons with Duke. Waters was the team's leading rusher and an important piece of the offense, totaling 142 carries for 753 yards and 12 touchdowns while reeling in seven of 10 targetrs for 130 yards this season. The 6-foot ball-carrier will join fellow running back Jaquez Moore, who has also entered the portal.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Waters now a red shirt junior is the most experienced back for the Blue Devils and looks to be the lead man heading into the 2022 season. Waters will be head of the backfield for a completely retooled offense. The Blue Devils moved on from head coach David Cutcliffe after 14 seasons and have brought in Mike Elko. A defensive specialist and former Defensive Coordinator at Texas A&M, Elko has brought in Kevin Johns to orchestrate his offense. Johns was formerly Offensive Coordinator at Memphis where he produced the current Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson. Waters has just 57 carries over his first three seasons but, it will be interesting to see how he is used in the new offense.
