Ron Stewart ranks Judkins as his RB22 for Week 3, three spots higher than consensus, citing a favorable matchup against a Panthers defense that has allowed the most rushing yards (833) to RBs over their last six games and the second-most fantasy points to the position in 2026. Stewart highlights Judkins' home-field efficiency (14.3 PPG vs 9.8 PPG away) and projects a potential 100-plus yard, touchdown-scoring spike week due to the high-paced nature of the game. Additionally, the absence of Dylan Sampson is a key factor in the expectation that Judkins will operate as a three-down back.

0:00my number one sneaky start for week
0:02three. Quinshon Judkins is the RB 25 by
0:05consensus, but I just want to give you
0:07the confidence to play Quinshon Judkins.
0:09He's the RB 29 on the season. You
0:11probably drafted him around RB 18, RB
0:1319. You keep putting him in the RB2
0:14spot. He's doing a whole lot of nothing.
0:16I think this is the week where Quinshon
0:18Judkins is a must start in your lineup.
0:21He's my RB 22 at home versus the
0:24Panthers. I am three spots higher than
0:25consensus. Here is why. Carolina has
0:28allowed 833 rushing yards to opposing
0:32running backs over their last six games.
0:34The second most is 740, so almost 100
0:37more rushing yards to running backs than
0:38any other opponent. They also allow the
0:40second most fantasy points to running
0:41backs in 2026. He also averages 14.3
0:45points per game in home games versus 9.8
0:47points per game in away games. He was
0:49also used as a three-down back last
0:51week. He had a 17% target share versus
0:53the Buccaneers, his second highest ever
0:55in a single game in the NFL. Without
0:57Dylan Sampson, he should be used as a
0:59three-down back at home between the
1:01tackles against a Panthers team that is
1:04actually really fun for fantasy
1:05football. They have the fastest neutral
1:07pace and the highest pass rate over
1:08expectation in the NFL. Their contest
1:10ranked third in combined plays and
1:12second in total points. Also, the Browns
1:14are fourth in neutral pace. So, you have
1:15two teams that are top five in pace of
1:17play. There could be more points in this
1:1941.5 point total would suggest. If there
1:21was ever a time for Quinshon Judkins to
1:24rush for 100-plus yards, score a
1:26touchdown, hit a 20-plus points spike
1:28week, it would be in week three. If you
1:30have Quinshon Judkins, he's going in
1:33your lineup.
