2021 Fantasy Outlook
Ross is arguably the biggest wildcard in the receiver landscape for fantasy. If healthy, Ross may be the most talented receiver in college football. His 112 catches for 1,865 yards and 17 touchdowns through his first two seasons underline that. But health is the issue; Ross missed all of 2020 recovering from surgery to address a congenital spinal fusion. He awaits full medical clearance as of press time, but the expectation is he will be back this fall. Drafting Ross comes down to your risk aversion, but it’s clear that the upside is enormous if he’s back to his old self. Read Past Outlooks
Coach confident in progress
Coach Dabo Swinney relayed that the team is hopeful Ross (neck) will be cleared to play this season, Grace Raynor of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Swinney added that they are very close to having the full process come to its conclusion and is optimistic that it will result in a favorable outcome for the star receiver. Ross has been active all summer and has gotten up to speed by all accounts. If fully cleared, Ross should take over as the top target in the Clemson offense.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Ross has two years remaining before heading to the NFL, but until then, he’ll be terrorizing college defenses. The 6-foot-4, 210 pounder dominated on a per-target basis in the regular season last year, averaging 12.2 YPT with six touchdowns on 34 grabs. Then he reached new heights in the Playoff, torching Notre Dame and Alabama for a combined 301 yards and three touchdowns on 12 targets. He’s now set to enter this year as a full-time starter opposite Tee Higgins in a Trevor Lawrence-led offense, meaning he’ll have increased targets from perhaps college football’s most talented quarterback. Look out.
