2019 Receiving Projections
2019 Fantasy Outlook
Michael Lawrence and Jalen Guyton were billed as the top receivers in the Mean Green receiving corps entering last season, but it was Bussey who stole the show as the leader in receptions (68),yards (1,017), and touchdowns (12). Bussey and the Mean Green lost brilliant offensive coordinator Graham Harrell to USC, but they still have quarterback Mason Fine and the new offensive coordinator had a promising track record from his time at Eastern Washington, where his offense averaged 43.1 points per game. Bussey’s role, talent, and team context make him a bankable fantasy asset. Read Past Outlooks
Out for season
Bussey suffered a torn ACL in last Saturday's matchup with California and will miss the remainder of the 2019 season, Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Bussey caught four passes for 156 yards and a touchdown in the season opener, but has been a non-factor for North Texas' offense since then. The team will now have to find a new No. 1 receiver.
