50 yards in opener
Connors posted 15 rushes for 50 yards and caught all two targets for one yard during Thursday's 27-0 victory against Stephen F. Austin.
ANALYSIS
Connors led the team in rushing attempts and yards during Thursday's season opener, however J'Marion Burnette (10 attempts for 40 yards) was not far behind him. Burnette also caught a 39-yard touchdown pass. Still, Connors got a big workload in the opener and figures to continue to be a big part of the Cougars' offense this season, especially after the season-ending knee injury that Re'Shaun Sanford suffered.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Connors assumed the bulk of rushes in the 2023 season, finishing the year with 771 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 121 totes. He posted 30 carries more than the team's second-leading rusher, Juma Otaviano, whose departure should open the door for Connors to increase his workload in 2024. Connors was also highly productive as a receiver, turning in 43 catches for 403 yards and a trio of touchdowns, so there's additional upside for the senior in PPR formats.
