More on Donaldson and the RB board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #340 overall, #72 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
Late rounds or waivers — he finished #340, so treat him as a flier.
We project 1.9 PPR points per game across an expected 9 games — approximately 17 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 0.5 and 3 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #220 in projected scoring (#220 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 50% of games, with a floor of 0.2 and a ceiling of 4.3 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 33% of games and busted (under half his average) in 33%.
