Quinshon Judkins

Judkins has a fairly simple range of outcomes -- if he's healthy he should lock into starting mainstream fantasy utility, whereas if he's limited by injury the season might be a struggle. Judkins suffered a season-ending dislocated right ankle in Week 16, cruelly cutting short what was otherwise a clearly promising debut for Judkins. The broader struggles of the Cleveland offense landed hard on Judkins as the Browns found themselves unable to throw the ball, but Judkins probably outplayed his box score and that box score wasn't even so bad. His 3.6 yards per carry was an acceptable figure given how uniquely dysfunctional the Browns were on offense, an outcome precipitated by a downpour of injuries on the offensive line. The offensive line should be more stable in 2026, so that in theory should at least slightly stabilize the production of Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders or whoever else might start at quarterback for Cleveland in 2026. If Cleveland gets into scoring range then a healthy Judkins has shown the stuff necessary to convert those opportunities into touchdowns, yet despite his undeniable talent there remain both injury and surrounding cast concerns with Judkins going into 2026. There is room in the Cleveland offense for both Judkins and fellow 2025 draft pick Dylan Sampson to coexist, with Sampson presumably getting most of his work in passing-down or/and hurry-up situations. Even if he doesn't get many pass-catching opportunities Judkins should get enough work as a runner, including in goal-line situations, to make it work anyway in fantasy. Furthermore, if Judkins sits during passing situations it would be in acknowledgment of his heavy rushing workload rather than doubt over his receiving ability. Judkins has been at least serviceable as a receiver going back to college, but his high-volume rushing workload sometimes means his rest comes in the form of surrendering target opportunities.
