2022 Fantasy Outlook
Knighton has struggled as a runner through two years, averaging under four yards per carry in that span, but he stands out more easily as a pass catcher and in any case did something to earn the trust of the Miami coaches, who made Knighton their lead runner ahead of other qualified candidates last year. The problem for Knighton is he's unlikely to turn into a highly efficient runner overnight, and his workload might otherwise be limited due to Miami's backfield depth. If he does improve his rushing production, though, it could propel a breakout year.
