QuarterbackQB
Oregon Ducks
2024 Fantasy Outlook
As he approaches his final year of eligibility, Gabriel has the chance to elevate his play under center twofold as he joins a recently successful Oregon squad. Gabriel finished the 2023 season with Oklahoma, passing for 3,660 yards, 30 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The 5-foot-11 field general will jump into an offense under Dan Lanning that enabled Bo Nix to go from 11 passing touchdowns in his sophomore season with Auburn to then 29 touchdowns in his junior year and 45 touchdowns, along with being a Heisman finalist by the time he was a senior. Gabriel will follow a similar path as he transfers to Oregon later in his college football career, and he'll have ample resources to aid his success. With wide receiver Tez Johnson returning, who eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards last season, and Texas A&M transfer Evan Stewart likely jumping into the role of NFL-bound wide receiver Troy Franklin, Gabriel will have all he'll need to lead a successful year, if not a Heisman-level campaign.

Stars in win versus Ohio State
October 13, 2024
Gabriel completed 23 of 34 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 32-31 victory against Ohio State. He also had four rushes for 32 yards with one touchdown.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel led the way for this momentous win for his new team. The Oklahoma transfer went over 300 passing yards for the first time since his 380-yard outing versus Idaho in Week 1. He also unlocked a new connection with Texas A&M transfer Evan Stewart, who caught seven of eight targets for 149 yards and a touchdown after tallying just 12 targets over the Ducks' previous three games. Meanwhile, top wideout Tez Johnson came through with seven catches on 10 targets, including a 48-yard touchdown on a perfectly-placed deep pass from Gabriel just before halftime. The sixth-year quarterback also scored a 27-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, marking his fourth rushing score of the season. The Ducks' potent receiving corps combined with Gabriel's surefire consistency in the passing game should continue to make this perhaps the most dangerous offense in the Big Ten moving forward. They'll look to keep rolling against a 1-5 Purdue squad this coming Saturday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Gabriel will be the unquestioned starter during the 2023 season and when you consider that Oklahoma averaged 37 points per game and 510 yards per game in his 11 starts, it makes sense why. In the two games where he did not start, the Sooners averaged just 12 points per game and 275 yards per game, a huge drop off in production. The Big 12’s Newcomer of the Year was sensational last season with 25 passing scores and six rushing touchdowns. On the flip side, Gabriel did lose his top targets in Marvin Mims and Brayden Willis, so he will need to rely on Jalil Farooq making a leap or getting contributions from Michigan transfer Andrel Anthony at wide receiver. The Sooners are stacked at running back and the offensive line, so this should be a balanced offense in 2023. Gabriel has the upside to be the best quarterback in the conference and potentially one of the best in the nation.
There are many things that will be different in Norman this fall but high-level quarterback play won’t be among them with Dillon Gabriel reuniting with his former UCF OC, Jeff Lebby, whom he played under in 2019. Gabriel threw 29 touchdowns with a 9.2 YPA that year and followed it up with 32 passing TDs in 10 games as a sophomore before missing much of 2021 with injury. He’s already familiar with the offense and, despite Oklahoma’s transfer portal exodus this offseason, still has a solid supporting cast. Gabriel won’t offer much as a runner, but gaudy passing production should be on the way.
Gabriel ranked first in passing yards per game (357) and turned in a 32:4 TD:INT on 413 attempts, but a new offense complicates his outlook. Gus Malzahn’s offenses at Auburn ranked in the top half of FBS in passing yards per game just once in his last five years (2017). Malzahn should fit his scheme to the talent at UCF, but Gabriel’s overall volume is likely to take a hit. He also loses three of his top targets from 2020. Gabriel has the talent to still produce, and the new scheme could boost his rushing, but it will be challenging for him to replicate his passing numbers.
