Connor Heyward

Heyward rarely received an opportunity to touch the ball in 2017, rushing just three times for 10 yards and catching four passes for 13 yards and a score. The departure of Madre London via transfer and Gerald Holmes to graduation should open some carries behind LJ Scott in 2018. Heyward looked like the most promising of the available options during the spring game, running 12 times for 48 yards and a score while hauling in two passes for 14 yards. As part of a run-heavy Michigan State offense, there's an outside chance he could gain fantasy relevance in deep leagues should the sophomore tailback garner most of the 162 carries voided by London and Holmes. However, he will have to fend off two incoming freshmen -- La'Darius Jefferson and Elijah Collins -- and a redshirt freshman in Weston Bridges during fall camp to guarantee reps this fall.
