Browns RB Quinshon Judkins endured a second straight terrible rushing day in the Week 2 win over the Bucs, taking his 12 carries for just 21 yards (1.8 per attempt). That followed a 12-33 rushing line in Week 1 (2.8 per rush) and marked the second straight game in which he trailed QB Deshaun Watson in rushing yardage. Judkins helped his PPR line by catching all five of his targets for 27 yards, marking just the second time in his young career that Judkins reached 5 catches in a game.

Judkins actually worked further ahead of Raheim Sanders in Sunday's win than he did in the Week 1 game in which Dylan Sampson went down.
Judkins played 39 snaps to Sanders' 11 and beat him 16-7 in pass routes. That's particularly noteworthy because they rane a matching 13 routes in Week 1.
Judkins will continue to struggle with the weakness of his team's offense, but Week 3 presents his best matchup to date in Carolina.
