Past Fantasy Outlooks
2013
2012
2011
Darkwa missed the first three games of 2012 with an ankle injury and finished the season with just 241 yards on 81 carries (3.0 YPC). He ran for 925 yards (5.0 YPC) as a freshman and 924 yards (4.4 YPC) as a sophomore, so a rebound of sorts seems likely in Darkwa’s final season, though the offense around him remains a wreck by most measures. He has the inside track on the starting job, but could see competition for carries from Rob Kelley and Dante’ Butler. Tulane’s offensive line looks like a problem area again, which likely limits the upside for any Green Wave running back in Tulane's very pass-heavy offense.
Darkwa could be in line for a breakout performance in 2012. He has been good all along for Tulane, running for 1,849 yards and 24 touchdowns in his first two college seasons, but he's capable of more. Despite playing through a problematic toe injury at the beginning of last season, he rushed for 924 yards (4.4 YPC) and 13 touchdowns while adding 305 yards on 37 receptions – numbers he should improve on if he heads into 2012 healthy.
Darkwa was excellent as a true freshman last year, posting 824 yards and seven touchdowns from scrimmage in his last six games. He even threw two touchdown passes in the same span. Tulane is historically a great place to find fantasy backs, as Mewelde Moore, Matt Forte and Andre Anderson all put up big numbers in the role that Darkwa currently owns. Keep an eye on a toe injury he suffered in the summer, though.
