2023 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Devin Gardner in 2023. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
November 24, 2014
Gardner completed 13 of 24 passes for 106 yards and an interception Saturday against Maryland. He also ran 14 times for 82 yards and a touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Gardner looked healthy after Michigan's bye and ran for a season-high 82 yards. He looked more like his old self on a number of runs and wasn't hobbling around like he had been for much of the year. Still, he was ineffective in the passing game; he has a combined 215 yards passing over his last two games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2014
2013
2012
Gardner received a lot of criticism last year as the most visible player in a Michigan offense that badly underachieved. Playcaller Al Borges, the chief reason for Gardner's struggles, was replaced by Doug Nussmeier, whose offense should scale back Gardner's burdens while increasing his efficiency. Despite his perceived struggles last year, Gardner threw for 2,960 yards (8.6 YPA), 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while running for 483 yards and 11 more scores, making him one of the nation's elite dual threats. In a scaled back Nussmeier offense, Gardner should make up for any decrease in his workload with improved efficiency as a passer and runner.
Gardner waited very patiently for three years while Denard Robinson hogged the spotlight at quarterback for Michigan, even turning himself into a standout receiver for the Wolverines to pass time until Robinson's graduation. Injury forced Robinson off the field late in 2012, though, and Gardner played so well in Robinson's place that he was arguably the more valuable player. Gardner has rare athleticism, as evidenced by his 101 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground and 16 catches for 266 yards and four scores in 2012, but it was in the passing game that he took Michigan to the next level. In just five games Gardner threw for 1,219 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions, and he'll likely thrive again this year with standout receiver Jeremy Gallon and tight end Devin Funchess returning.
Denard Robinson has a hold on the starting quarterback role as he enters his senior season as a third-year starter, but Gardner will usually get a couple designed plays a game at quarterback. Gardner is a strong athlete who can make big plays, but barring a Robinson injury, probably won't see the field enough to make any sort of fantasy impact. He attempted only 23 passes last season and rushed 25 times. However, Robinson has shown a tendency to get hurt as he is undersized for someone who carries the ball as often as he does. If he is out at any point, Gardner's value shoots up.
