Jordan Waters

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.

Commits to NC State
December 18, 2023
Waters committed to North Carolina State on Monday, The Wolfpacker reports.
ANALYSIS
Waters will transfer to North Carolina State for his last season of collegiate eligibility. The senior logged 883 scrimmage yards (753 rushing and 130 receiving) and averaged a rushing touchdown across 12 games he played during 2023. Even with this year's promising displays from fellow rushers Delbert Mimms and Kendrick Raphael, Waters is expected to be North Carolina State's No. 1 option at running back in 2024.

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.
