Once he was on the field, he was Cleveland's workhorse back until suffering an ankle and fibula fracture in Week 16. In Weeks 2-15, he was the RB26 in fantasy points per game... With a rebuilt offensive line to run behind in 2026, hopefully Judkins has more room to run.

Judkins' workhorse role could improve with rebuilt O-line, but Week 1 matchup is tough.

Judkins was Cleveland's workhorse back in Weeks 2-15 last year before suffering an ankle and fibula fracture in Week 16, averaging 18.7 touches and 72.8 total yards as the RB26 in fantasy points per game (RB22 in expected fantasy points per game). However, his per-touch efficiency was mediocre: among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 40th in explosive run rate, 33rd in missed tackle rate, and 26th in yards after contact per attempt. The source notes his offensive line was a major constraint, with 62.2% of his rushing yards coming after first contact (fifth-highest) and only 4.4 yards before contact per attempt (fourth-fewest). With a rebuilt offensive line in 2026, Judkins could have more room to run, though Week 1 against Cleveland's solid run defense (sixth-fewest yards after contact per attempt, seventh-lowest missed tackle rate, 14th-lowest EPA per rush in Weeks 12-18) will test that improvement.
