All Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry insights about Quinshon Judkins
NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Quinshawn Judkins had a strong Week 7 return from ankle injury with 5.6 yards per carry and three runs of 10+ yards, but his workload is complicated by Dylan Sampson's return; Judkins played only 3% more snaps than Sampson, had under 30% route participation, played 52% of snaps, and had a 3% target share as Sampson took the third-down work as expected.PositiveInjuryOct 23, 2026
Expected to return this week per Todd Monken's optimism. Matthew Berry ranks him as running back 19 this week. Last four weeks, Judkins has averaged 19 touches per game. However, there is potential messiness in the backfield if Dylan Samson is activated from IR, which could lower Judkins' passing game involvement projections.NegativeInjuryOct 12, 2026
Left the game early with a foot injury. Matthew Berry flagged him among several running backs dealing with injuries in week 5.PositiveValueOct 7, 2026
Matthew Berry prefers the Quinshon Judkins and Debo Samuel side of a proposed trade over Braylon Allen, Tony Pollard, and Josh Downs, valuing Judkins as a bell-cow running back. Berry notes it's hard to find good running backs and values them more than wide receivers this year because there are more receivers than bell-cow backs.PositiveUsageOct 2, 2026
Judkins has a 14% target share this season despite not being expected to be a big part of the passing game; Watson is willing to dump it off to him, he plays a lot, scored a touchdown, and looked good. Matthew Berry views him as a rock solid RB2, noting people forget how bad his ankle injury was (fractured dislocation late last year) and that he showed potential during OTAs and training camp doing more than expected coming off such a major injury.PositiveProjectionOct 1, 2026
Matthew Berry ranks Quinshawn Judkins as a low-end RB2 to high-end flex play this week, with a ranking of RB23 on Fantasy Life. Judkins is a viable option in the Steelers-Browns matchup.PositiveProjectionSep 24, 2026
Kendall V. rates Quinshon Judkins inside the top 20 RBs this week. Through two weeks, Judkins has seen almost 80% of the Browns' running back touches—a massive workload. The Panthers allow over 170 rushing yards per game and 6+ yards per carry. Kendall doesn't expect the Panthers to blow out Cleveland, so Judkins won't be game-script dependent. Judkins has a 13.5% target share, which isn't crazy but shows he's not nothing in the passing game.PositiveRoleSep 23, 2026
79% of Browns RB touches through two weeks; ranked RB 19-25; higher floor this week with home-field advantage against Panthers; 76 utilization score; increased passing game involvement (13.5% target share vs. 7.5% last year); comfortable starting in guillotine leagues; Panthers allowing 173+ rushing yards per game and 6+ yards per carry.NegativeProjectionSep 10, 2026
Matthew Berry ranks Quinshon Judkins as RB24, labeling him a touchdown-dependent flex play due to concerns about the Browns' offense in a low-scoring matchup against the Jaguars.PositiveInjurySep 4, 2026
Stephania Bell was initially concerned about Quinshawn Judkins' recovery from a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle, citing Tony Pollard's struggles after a similar injury. However, seeing Judkins perform well in OTAs and participate in 11-on-11 drills early in the summer has improved her outlook on his return to pre-injury form.PositiveValueAug 26, 2026
Matthew Berry and Roto Pat view Quinshon Judkins as a solid back-end RB2, ranking him at RB22. Despite the Browns' potentially poor offensive environment, they argue the team will be forced to run the ball regardless of game flow. Judkins is expected to handle goal-line duties, and his ADP is seen as reasonable given his pure running talent and the lack of check-down options in the current Browns passing attack.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026
Matthew Berry highlights Quinshon Judkins as having the best potential to double his touchdown total compared to others on the list, expressing confidence in the Browns' offense and coordinator Todd Monken.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026
BenchwarmerBran and Matthew Berry agree that Quinchon Judkins is the best fantasy option among the second-year running back trio (Judkins, Henderson, Tootin). Judkins is projected to receive the most work and has the highest touchdown upside, making him a reliable floor play for teams that draft wide receivers early.
