Ranked RB22 for Week 8 at PIT. Judkins' average of 5.6 yards per carry last week marked the first time in 16 games that he cleared four yards. The source blames injuries and the associated offensive line more so than concluding Judkins sucks at football; it was good to see this run game finally show some signs of life. Additional good news: the Browns offense is suddenly capable of flirting with 30 points. The lack of pass-game usage will always cap Judkins' fantasy ceiling, but he's at least a more respectable low-end RB2 than normal inside an offense led by this newfound less-crappy version of Deshaun Watson.

Judkins returned to action in Week 7 after being sidelined and dominated early downs and goal-line work, logging 52% of snaps and 61% of rush attempts against the Titans. He carried the ball 17 times for 96 yards and a pair of touchdowns. However, his recent spike in targets came to an end with Dylan Sampson's return to the lineup. Judkins is game-script dependent when Sampson is available; Cleveland's winning record (5-2) and favorable upcoming schedule (Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Houston, Las Vegas) suggest they likely won't find themselves down multiple scores, which limits Judkins' upside.

Judkins carried 10 times for 96 yards and scored both touchdowns in the first half (on goal-to-go carries), but his role as a receiver took a major toll with Dylan Sampson's return—he drew only one target while Sampson drew three and ran the majority of routes out of the backfield. Judkins played 37 of 70 snaps (53%) and Sampson 32 (46%), a closer split than their opportunities (Judkins had 0.49 per snap, Sampson 0.28). However, per Next Gen Stats, Judkins has improved as a rusher: in his first three games he averaged 26.2% success rate, 0.5 yards before contact, and 2.5 yards after contact; in the last three games those figures jumped to 35.4%, 1.2, and 2.9, respectively. The source advises to 'Sell Quinshon Judkins' due to the committee split.

Judkins had 17 carries for 96 yards (5.6 YPC) and 2 TDs, plus 1 catch for 8 yards. The source describes this as probably the best tag team rushing effort with Dylan Sampson since being drafted, and the first time this season Cleveland's rushing attack seemed like a threat. The Browns ran 21 plays under center against the Titans (tying a season high), averaging 8 yards per rush and posting a 62.5% success rate on designed runs, both season-best marks. Judkins found the end zone twice.
PositiveBreakoutOct 26, 2026Matt Waldman
Judkins hit new season highs in both rushing yards (96 on 17 carries) and touchdowns (2) against Tennessee after having just one rushing TD and never exceeding 70 yards in a game prior. Bob Harris questions whether this marks his official breakout, while Matt Waldman emphasizes Judkins will have more certain volume as long as he's healthy. Cleveland's rushing success rate jumped from 34.2% (bottom five entering Sunday) to 53.6% in this game, which benefits the entire offense. Judkins is a high-effort physical runner who can catch the ball, though he carries some volatility as a mid-range RB2 due to surrounding talent and tougher opposition ahead.

Quinshon Judkins enjoyed his best game of the season against Tennessee, rushing for 96 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries. The source compares him to a young Najee Harris—a volume-based running threat who pounds defenders into submission. The healthy return of Judkins and running mate Dylan Sampson gives Cleveland life on the ground, and the first-place Browns will look to keep things rolling against AFC North rival Pittsburgh in Week 8. Judkins is entrenched as a mid-RB2 for the foreseeable future.

Quinshon Judkins returned from a one-week ankle injury absence in Week 7 with his best fantasy day of the season: 17 carries for 96 yards and two touchdowns (after scoring just once all season entering Sunday). While the Texans defense can be credited for some efficiency, Judkins also looked excellent for perhaps the first time this year. Like Irving, he has maintained a high volume floor (14+ touches in every game) but has been mostly middling for fantasy. Dylan Sampson returned in Week 7 with 77 yards on nine touches, but the Browns are 5-2 and have won five of their last six. The source argues the narrative that Judkins can't thrive due to unfavorable game scripts doesn't hold water; he scored 18.6 points against Pittsburgh in Week 4 and faces the Saints (best RB matchup in fantasy) next. The source rates him a low-end RB2.
