QUINSHON JUDKINS NEWS

Leads rushing game versus PSU Judkins compiled 14 rushes for 95 yards and hauled in two of four targets for five yards during Saturday's 20-13 victory over Penn State.

Impact Judkins had his most productive outing since the blowout win versus Marshall in Week 4. The junior running back benefitted from a vastly improved performance for the Buckeyes' offensive line, who performed surprisingly well against the Nittany Lions' stout defensive front. He also led the team in carries and rushing yards ahead of fellow running back TreVeyon Henderon (10, 54) and quarterback Will Howard (12, 24). Judkins will look to break out and find the end zone during what should be an easy win this coming Saturday versus Purdue.

Ohio State's 20-13 win over Penn State, by the numbers

Ohio State beat Penn State for the eighth straight season. Here are the other numbers to know from their rivalry.

1 DAY AGO

Scores late receiving TD Judkins recorded 10 carries for 29 yards and gathered in their only target for nine yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-17 victory versus Nebraska.

Impact Judkins caught a touchdown for the first time this season with a nine-yard reception midway through the fourth quarter. This came after the junior running back's second straight game with under 30 rushing yards despite logging double-digit carries again. Judkins' struggles may have more to do with some struggles in the run-blocking from Ohio State's offense line, as co-starting running back TreVeyon Henderson logged 10 carries for just 25 yards. The Buckeyes not only have had lackluster rushing performances in back-to-back games, but the team features two other significant rushing threats in Henderson and quarterback Will Howard. These factors should continue to limit Judkins' overall fantasy value. Expect these woes to continue during next weeks' road game at Penn State.

Good to go vs. Nebraska Judkins (hand) is healthy for Ohio State's clash with Nebraska, per the Big Ten injury report.

Impact This comes as little surprise, as the tailback wasn't expected to miss any time despite undergoing hand surgery. He was considered probable, but he'll now officially suit up against the Huskers. The tailback has ran for 491 yards and six touchdowns this season on 6.9 yards-per-carry.

Not expected to be out post-surgery Judkins is not expected to be out after undergoing hand surgery, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact With the benefit of a bye week giving extra time for Judkins to recover, he is not expected to sit out any games. The running back has 71 carries for 491 yards and six yards in 2024.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Recovers after early fumble Week 7 Judkins totaled 11 carries for 23 yards and one touchdown and hauled in both of his targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 32-31 defeat versus Oregon.

Impact Judkins gave the ball away for the first timethis season when Oregon defender Derrick Harmon forced the running back to fumble in the first quarter. The Ole Miss transfer bounced back with a one-yard rushing score just two offensive series later, and he tallied a season-high 38 receiving yards. This didn't quite make up for what was by far his worst rushing output of the year. Meanwhile, TreVeyon Henderson tallied a team-high 87 rushing yards on 10 carries. Quarterback Will Howard also scored a one-yard touchdown on a keeper to put the Buckeyes on the board in the first quarter. With a high-level passing game and two other rushing threats to contend with, Judkins will almost definitely have some more low-output performances moving forward. His next opportunity will come in a Week 8 home game versus Nebraska.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Held without a score again Judkins had 13 carries for 78 yards and gathered in his only target for negative two yards during Saturday's 35-7 victory against Iowa.

Impact Judkins had a more efficient outing after logging a season-low 54 rushing yards during last week's win against Michigan State. But, he also failed to score for the second week in a row. After totaling five rushing touchdowns over the first three games of the year, the Mississippi transfer has not scored on his 24 rushing attempts across the last two games. He's also continued to split carries with TreVeyon Henderson so far during Big Ten play, as the latter rushed 11 times for 61 yards Saturday. With these two balancing a relatively equal workload combined with an extremely talented receivng corps, it'll be very tough for Judkins to find many scoring opportunities moving forward. He'll look to find paydirt in next week's road game versus fellow conference heavyweight and No. 3-ranked Oregon.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 54 rushing yards Week 5 Judkins accrued 11 carries for 54 yards and hauled in all two targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 38-7 victory against Michigan State.

Impact Judkins came back down to earth after totaling 281 rushing yards over the previous two contests. The 219-pound junior still led the Buckeyes in carries ahead of fellow star running back TreVeyon Henderson (seven) and true freshman James Peoples (10). Judkins has definitely been the most consistent ball-carrier among this group, and this was actually his first game without a touchdown this season. With a limited number of carries to go around, Judkins and the Buckeyes' other running backs will likely need to rely on touchdowns to buoy their fantasy value week-to-week. Next Saturday's home matchup against a tough defensive squad in Iowa will likely be one of their toughest challenges this season.

Stars in runaway win Judkins posted 14 rushes for 173 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 49-14 victory over Marshall. He also caught both of his targets for 14 yards.

Impact Judkins had his most impressive outing since joining the Buckeyes, as he tallied more rushing yards Saturday than he did in the previous two games combined. He also logged more rushing attempts than TreVeyon Henderson (six) and James Peoples (six) combined. In a game where the Buckeyes had four touchdowns of 40 yards or more, Judkins had the longest with a 86-yard sprint down the left sideline to put his team up 21-7 in the second quarter. He then capped this win with a 6-yard score early in the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes' easy non-conference schedule doesn't provide much of a barometer for what the team will see during Big Ten play, but they'll have a chance to prove their dominance during next Saturday's road matchup versus Michigan State.

Logs two more scores Week 2 Judkins accrued nine rushes for 108 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 56-0 victory over Western Michigan.

Impact Judkins scored on two 23-yard end-around rushes in the first half. As a result, the Ole Miss transfer led the Buckeyes in rushing yards in what was a dominant performance for the team's ground game (and all-around offense). He also continued to split carries with senior running back TreVeyon Henderson, who logged 10 carries for 66 yards and two scores. It's hard to project much from Judkins' workload and production through the first two games of the season, as this sample size is rather diluated by the blowout nature of these contests. However, it's fair to say that he certainly won't total over 270 carries like he did in the previous two campaigns at Mississippi. His fantasy value should still be valuable so long as Ohio State's offense continues to roll to high-scoring wins.
