Adds another TD to resume in win Jackson recorded 13 carries for 63 yards and one touchdown and caught their only target for 11 yards during Saturday's 42-3 win versus Minnesota.

Impact The gap in carries between Jackson and CJ Donaldson was at its widest during Saturday's victory. The freshman running back extended his statistical lead as the team's most productive running back. Although Donaldson's limited snaps may have indicated a measure to rest him before facing Illinois, he was barely used with only three carries. Although he's behind Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith as a fantasy contributor, he has quickly become the Buckeyes' third-best producer.

Leads all rushers in victory Jackson notched 17 rushes for 80 yards and caught their only target for five yards during Saturday's 24-6 win versus Washington.

Impact Jackson once again posted a productive yardage total and currently leads the team in that category. Over the opening games of the season, the freshman dynamo has been difficult to keep on the bench, and while CJ Donaldson is the featured back in Ohio State's offense, Jackson consistently outranks him on paper. Jackson is definitely on the cusp of fantasy viability, especially against weaker opponents.
