Dealing with hamstring injury
Baxter is dealing with a hamstring injury following Texas' win over UTEP according to head coach Steve Sarkisian, per Eric Henry of 247Sports.com.
ANALYSIS
Baxter left Texas' win over the Miners and wouldn't return, and now we know the tailback is grappling with a hamstring injury. "We'll see what it looks like over the next few days," Sarkisian said, indicating Texas knows little about the severity of the injury to its tailback. James Simon and Jerrick Gibson had 17 and 18 carries for the Longhorns in the win, respectively.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fans caught a glimpse of the 2023 five-star's ability to handle a full workload after Jonathon Brooks tore his ACL last year, and the early signs were encouraging. Baxter handled 69 rushing attempts in the final five games and ran for 330 yards (4.8) and two touchdowns to go with 13 catches on 14 targets in that span. 4.8 YPC doesn't stand out, especially when Brooks was peeling off 6.1 YPC, but it's important to remember Baxter was a true freshman. Even with Texas moving to the SEC, Baxter still profiles as an elite fantasy running back who is not only talented, but should handle the bulk of the workload for an explosive Texas offense.
