2023 Fantasy Outlook
You look at Wester's overall numbers, see that he had 62 catches for 719 yards and eight touchdowns, and you may feel encouraged. However, it was a tale of two seasons. Over the last six games of the 2022 campaign, Wester had 23 catches for 277 yards and zero touchdowns. That's concerning, to be sure. Is there any reason for enthusiasm for the receiver? Perhaps. For starters, he's the only returning Owls receiver who had more than five, yes five, receptions in 2022. Second, Wester is potentially getting a better passer under center to throw him the ball. N'Kosi Perry is out, and the former Miami quarterback was quite good last season. However, Casey Thompson is the presumed new starter for the Owls, and he once threw 24 touchdowns for the Texas Longhorns. Also joining Thompson is his former head coach at Texas, Tom Herman. Wester needs to prove himself, but he doesn't have many challengers for targets. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Wester will join the Buffaloes next season after a standout year with FAU. The 5-foot-11 junior tallied 108 receptions for 1,168 yards and eight touchdowns across 12 games in 2023. Wester will look to produce within a high-volume Colorado passing attack next season.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
The final game of the 2021 season for the Owls may be instructive in terms of Wester's role in 2022. Needing a win for bowl eligibility, N'Kosi Perry targeted Wester 17 times, and Wester responded with 14 catches. With all the chips down, Perry made Wester his go-to guy. Now, Wester wasn't that player all season. His best game of the year came against Fordham, an FCS school. However, after that season finale, it feels like Wester could be in line for a bigger role from the season opener on now.
