2023 Rush/Rec Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Green led all running backs in carries last season with 131 but finished second in rushing behind quarterback Drake Maye. Maye is back again for his junior season this year and the offense will likely be heavily revolved around him but, with lots of question marks around the wide receiver group the Tar Heels may look to the running back group for more production. Green will battle for lead duties with Caleb Hood who received just 43 carries last season but averaged 5.8 yards per rush on the year. Read Past Outlooks
Unavailable Saturday
Green is dealing with an illness and will not be available for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh, Rivals.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green has logged just one carry through three games this season and his absence will cost the Tar Heels some running back depth. It should be expected that Green will return in two weeks when the team hosts Syracuse following a bye.
