Top-20 opportunity share and strong recovery signs make Judkins a safe RB2 despite ankle injury.
Judkins dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula in week 16 of 2025 but is showing strong recovery signs with Instagram clips of him running well. The source is not concerned about his 2026 outlook. While there may be some efficiency concerns as a ball carrier, his pre-injury profile shows he was a top 20 RB in opportunity share (carries and targets) and top 25 in points per game despite stacked box rates (8th in NFL) and yards per touch outside top 50. He is a quintessential volume-based RB2 with a known ceiling limited by the Browns' poor offense, not by injury. Dylan Sampson's role as backup is unlikely to expand significantly in PPR leagues; Sampson's season average target share was 8.3% when Judkins was healthy, compared to 15% in games where Judkins was out. The Browns did not bolster the backfield in the offseason, so Judkins remains the clear lead back.
