J. Michael Sturdivant

Wide ReceiverWR
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sturdivant arrived at UCLA via the transfer portal and didn't have to travel far as he played his first two years in the conference at Cal. He led the Bears in 2022 with 65 catches (on 107 targets) and seven touchdowns. With another No. 1 wideout at Cal in Jeremiah Hunter, it makes sense that Sturdivant comes over to the Bruins with aspirations to be their top receiver. He'll have the opportunity to flourish in Chip Kelly's receiver-friendly offense and will pair with freshman Dante Moore, Ethan Garbers or Kent State transfer Collin Schlee at quarterback. Sturdivant is a player that can handle a significant workload, as he had seven games with double-digit targets during the 2022 season. No returning receiver on the Bruins had over 24 catches last year, so they'll need Sturdivant's experience. He should be a solid fantasy producer in the 2023 season as well. Read Past Outlooks
