        Quinshon Judkins Close To 100%?

        Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (leg) appears to be operating at close to 100% at OTAs this week, according to multiple members of Cleveland's media. Judkins is five months removed from suffering a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle. He's clearly on track to be ready for Week 1, and it's looking like that injury won't be a concern for his 2026 fantasy value.

        What They're Saying

        HC Todd Monken on Judkins: "Looked pretty good to me. Obviously, there’s been a couple of days he gets a little sore, which is normal, but no one works harder. And you talk about a competitive spirit, and we don’t even get to see him run.  I think his rare trait is he’s a bull, like refuses to go down and we don’t even get to see that here. So, I’m excited.”

        2026 Fantasy Football Impact

        A healthy Judkins projects as the clear lead back in Cleveland. He averaged 16.4 carries for 59.1 yards and 0.5 TDs across 14 games as a rookie last year, finishing RB26 in PPR points per game.

        Judkins fared just ok in advanced metrics, though. Among 51 RBs with 90+ carries, he ranked:

        • 29th in rush yards over expected per attempt
        • 14th in yards after contact per attempt
        • 29th in missed tackles forced per attempt

        Cleveland's offense is also a significant concern for Judkins' fantasy value. The Browns are currently favored in just one game this season. They're implied for just 17.9 points per game, which is the lowest mark in the league.

        It's an even bigger issue for Judkins, who could lose passing-down work to fellow second-year RB Dylan Sampson.

        Judkins' current 5.06 ADP is about a round too rich, according to our ADP Market Index.
