Doubtful vs. Gators
Baxer (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Texas' clash with Florida.
ANALYSIS
Baxter missed Week 4 against Sam Houston after suffering an injury against UTEP, and he remains unlikely to return as the Longhorns open SEC play. With Quintervion Wisner also questionable, Texas' backfield could once again fall into the hands of Jerrick Gibson and Christian Clark.

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.
