LaJohntay Wester

Wide ReceiverWR
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wester balled out at Florida Atlantic in 2023 with 108 catches on 152 targets for 1,168 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 12.7 targets per game. He even added a rushing score on his way to being named First Team All-AAC. Wester may not dominate the target share quite as much in Boulder, but he joins a Colorado offense that threw the ball 57.0 percent of the time last season; an offense led by stud quarterback and potential 2025 NFL Draft first overall pick Shedeur Sanders. While Xavier Weaver is gone, Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn return, and Colorado also added Vanderbilt transfer Will Sheppard to form perhaps the best receiver room in all of the Big 12 Conference. Wester should be squarely in the plans for the explosive Buffaloes passing attack and has major upside should he prove to be the top wideout option. Read Past Outlooks
Scores with punt return
November 19, 2024
Wester caught 10 of 11 targets for 77 yards during Saturday's 49-24 win versus Utah.
ANALYSIS
Although Wester was productive as a receiver, his game highlight was a nifty 76-yard punt return. Although Travis Hunter's production in unrivaled, Wester is his near equal with 660 receiving yards and a whopping eight touchdown catches.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
You look at Wester's overall numbers, see that he had 62 catches for 719 yards and eight touchdowns, and you may feel encouraged. However, it was a tale of two seasons. Over the last six games of the 2022 campaign, Wester had 23 catches for 277 yards and zero touchdowns. That's concerning, to be sure. Is there any reason for enthusiasm for the receiver? Perhaps. For starters, he's the only returning Owls receiver who had more than five, yes five, receptions in 2022. Second, Wester is potentially getting a better passer under center to throw him the ball. N'Kosi Perry is out, and the former Miami quarterback was quite good last season. However, Casey Thompson is the presumed new starter for the Owls, and he once threw 24 touchdowns for the Texas Longhorns. Also joining Thompson is his former head coach at Texas, Tom Herman. Wester needs to prove himself, but he doesn't have many challengers for targets.
The final game of the 2021 season for the Owls may be instructive in terms of Wester's role in 2022. Needing a win for bowl eligibility, N'Kosi Perry targeted Wester 17 times, and Wester responded with 14 catches. With all the chips down, Perry made Wester his go-to guy. Now, Wester wasn't that player all season. His best game of the year came against Fordham, an FCS school. However, after that season finale, it feels like Wester could be in line for a bigger role from the season opener on now.
