2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sawchuk was the Sooners' leading rusher in 2023 in a deep committee, and now it appears he'll have the backfield to himself as OU transitions to SEC play. Gone are Marcus Major (Minnesota) and Tawee Walker (Wisconsin), opening up 35 percent of the carries that the recruiting class and transfer portal didn't exactly fill. It's not just increased opportunity for Sawchuk, though. He was far-and-away Oklahoma's most efficient rusher in 2023 with a 6.2 YPC and nine touchdowns. Another development potentially working in his favor is OU's change at quarterback. Dillon Gabriel is gone, meaning this is young Jackson Arnold's first season as the starter. Arnold is talented enough to keep the offense afloat, but seeing the Sooners lean on Sawchuk to provide cover would not be surprising. With promising numbers and an increased workload on tap, Sawchuk's fantasy appeal is easy to see. Read Past Outlooks
