DNP against Bruins
Donaldson (undisclosed) was held out of Saturday's contest against UCLA.
ANALYSIS
Donaldson was previously listed as questionable against the Bruins but was held out due to an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-2 running back has taken a backseat to fellow back Bo Jackson lately, running for just 41 yards on 14 rushing attempts over Ohio State's last three contests, though he has managed to find the end zone three times in that time frame. His next chance to return will come against Rutgers on Saturday.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Prior to breaking his ankle late in the 2022 season, Donaldson was one of the most surprising freshmen in all of college football. He opened the season with 100-yard rushing performances in three of his first four games and ended up accumulating eight touchdowns in just seven games. Although it’s a smaller sample size, he was electric on his 87 carries while averaging 6.05 yards per carry. The only running backs better than him in the conference were Eric Gray (6.41), Kendre Miller (6.25), Bijan Robinson (6.12) and Devin Neal (6.06). If Donaldson can play like any of those running backs in 2023, he’ll be one of the best in the conference. West Virginia will need him to be the featured playmaker and his former running backs coach Chad Scott is now the offensive coordinator, so expect a big year for Donaldson.
