2025 Receiving Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Royer had a record-breaking season in 2024 with 50 receptions, eclipsing Travis Kelce's school-record 45 grabs during the 2012 season. For the breakout performance, he was named to the First-Team All-Big 12. He enters the 2025 season as a legitimate NFL Draft prospect after transferring to Cincinnati from Ohio State last year. Royer's strong catch radius puts him in a security blanket type of role for returning QB Brendan Sorsby. Royer is the top returning receiver for the Bearcats and is expected to be the highest producing target on a weekly basis. He might fly under the radar in some circles, but he's certainly squarely on the fantasy radar and has the upside to finish as one of the best tight ends in the nation. Read Past Outlooks
104 yards in win
Royer hauled in all two targets for 104 yards during Saturday's 34-20 win against Bowling Green.
ANALYSIS
After a quiet performance in the season opener, Royer exploded for a career-high 104 yards in Saturday's win. He did that on only two targets, thanks to his 73-yard reception in the second quarter. Despite that explosion of yards thanks to two big catches, his two targets are his fewest since joining Cincinnati ahead of last season which is slightly concerning. While he should be able to produce Saturday versus Northwestern State, the true tests will come once conference play starts.
