As the Ohio State Buckeyes take on Arkansas State today, wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Julian Fleming will not play. Smith-Njigba suffered a hamstring injury in the Buckeyes' home opener against Notre Dame. Fleming, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, did not play in OSU's victory over the Fighting Irish.
The Buckeyes head into this game as 44.5-point favorites. The loss of their two starters likely won't be felt too deeply, and the WRs further down the depth chart will get a chance to see some playing time in a virtually guaranteed win.
