2025 Fantasy Outlook
Claiborne is likely the best player on Wake Forest's offense, which should be music to fantasy managers' ears. The tailback is coming off a career year in which he ran for 1,049 yards and 11 touchdowns on 4.6 yards-per-carry, while also catching 23 passes for 254 yards and a score. He has elite speed and should be the offensive focal point in Winston-Salem this fall, even with a fresh regime in town in the form of new head coach Jake Dickert and offensive coordinator Rob Ezell. Wake Forest figures to rely on its running game plenty this season, which means a ton of carries for Claiborne, but also his returning backup, Tate Carney, are on tap. The Demon Deacons also have a solid, experienced offensive line this year. Ultimately, Claiborne should once again be a workhorse back in 2025 and has a chance to top the numbers from his career year last season. Read Past Outlooks
Monster day in blowout
Claiborne (ribs) accrued 10 rushes for 193 yards and three touchdowns and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for negative two yards during Saturday's 42-10 victory versus Western Carolina.
ANALYSIS
Claiborne may have been limited due to a rib injury he's been dealing with over the last week, but he had no issue against the Western Carolina defense. The 5-foot-10 running back was an electric playmaker, breaking off scoring runs of 33, 27 and 85 yards on his trio of touchdowns on the ground while averaging an insane 19.3 yards per carry. Though he was given just ten attempts on the ground on the day, Claiborne did not seem hampered by his injury in the slightest and will be hoping to carry his positive momentum forward into next week's matchup against North Carolina State.
