Will undergo season-ending ankle surgery
Russell will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a fractured left ankle.
ANALYSIS
Russell suffered the injury during the third quarter of Saturday's matchup with Oklahoma and after undergoing an X-Ray to determine the extent of the injury, it appears to be a fracture that will need surgery. That ends the season for the senior quarterback, who now finishes his career with Baylor throwing for 5,461 yards, 60 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. Russell's career numbers put him second in school history in passing efficiency, as well as third in touchdown passes thrown. True freshman Zach Smith is slated to enter the starting lineup as the team's starting quarterback moving forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
Russell was our top-ranked quarterback last year and might have held the same distinction for 2016 if he hadn't suffered a season-ending neck injury in the seventh game. Russell threw for 2,104 yards and 29 touchdowns while running for 402 yards and six more touchdowns in those seven games, making him a fantasy clincher prior to the injury. Unfortunately, even with Russell expected to make a full return for 2016, that neck injury and the turbulence with the Baylor program in general are a worry.
