Coach Kliff Kingsbury is gone but the Red Raiders are still going to throw the ball a lot and their top two receivers - Antoine Wesley and Ja’Deion High - are gone so Mannix has a huge opportunity to step up and catch a lot of passes this season, especially if Seth Collins misses a lot of time because of injury. Last year, Wesley and High combined for 150 catches, so a lot of those could be headed Mannix’s way ,especially with QB Alan Bowman healthy and defenses trying to negate top receiver T.J. Vasher. This isn’t about wins or losses, it’s about fantasy points, and Mannix could be in line for a surprisingly big season.

Oklahoma has such an impressive offense that NFL teams are flocking to Norman to talk with coach Lincoln Riley about how to implement it in their organizations, and Riley remains a hot name for NFL executives looking to hire the next big thing. The Sooners shouldn’t have a major drop-off from Kyler Murray to Jalen Hurts and Morris could take advantage of an opportunity here with Marquise Brown gone. Last season, Brown had 75 catches for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns. Those stats have to go somewhere in the passing game and Morris could see the field more after having eight touchdowns last season (two more than Grant Calcaterra) on just 21 catches.
