Cleveland Browns beat reporter Tony Grossi believes there is "zero chance" rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (unsigned) suits up Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Judkins, a second-round pick, was accused of domestic violence in July. Although the charges were dropped, he has yet to sign his rookie contract. Grossi said on the ESPN Cleveland Radio that the deal will not be finalized until the NFL determines the length of his suspension. If Judkins doesn't play in Week 1, the Browns are expected to lean on Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson in the backfield. It's a favorable spot for the duo, as they face a Bengals defense that allowed the seventh-most points in the NFL last season.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is not considering a return to college football, according to comments that Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot made during an appearance on PFT Live. Judkins still has not signed his rookie contract, and he continues to be the subject of an NFL investigation after a legal incident in Florida this summer. While it seems increasingly likely that a domino could fall as NFL Week 1 gets closer, it was reported on Monday that there's no update on a potential contract for Judkins, nor is there any more information on a potential punishment from the NFL. The ongoing saga raised some speculation that Judkins could return to school, but Cabot seems to have shut that rumor down. All eyes are on Cleveland and their second-round running back as this stalemate continues with the Browns' season opener just five days away. In the meantime, Jerome Ford should operate as Cleveland's primary running back while Dylan Sampson mixes in to provide a change of pace.

An AFC scout told Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic that he sees Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. "breaking out in 2027." The same scout said that Fannin Jr. has "glue hands" and is "crafty before and after the catch." Finally, Rodrigue writes that Browns quarterback Joe Flacco recently said Fannin Jr. is gaining confidence. A third-round pick out of Bowling Green who led the FBS in receptions and receiving yards in 2024, Fannin Jr. will play his entire rookie season at just 21 years old. Given his age and the relatively low level of competition he saw in college, it wouldn't be surprising to see an adjustment period for Fannin Jr. early in his NFL career. If the scout quoted in Rodrigue's article is correct, now may be the time for dynasty managers to look to stash Fannin Jr.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford is expected to be in a workhorse role out of the backfield for the team's Week 1 divisional matchup on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Rookie Dylan Sampson should operate in a change-of-pace role behind him with second-round rookie Quinshon Judkins still unsigned following a domestic-violence incident in the offseason. The 25-year-old Ford led Cleveland's backfield in 2024 with only 565 yards in 14 games, and he'll open this year as their primary back, which counts for something in fantasy. However, in a game in which the Browns could be forced to throw often to keep up with Cincy's high-powered offense, Ford may have limited opportunities. He figures to be a low-upside RB3/flex, at best, in Week 1 fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi reports that there has been no update from Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski on unsigned rookie second-round running back Quinshon Judkins on Monday. An earlier report suggestd that Judkins could join the team as early as Monday, apparently the 21-year-old isn't with the team yet as they begin preparations for a Week 1 divisional battle against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The Ohio State product was expected to take over as Cleveland's lead back when he was taken 36th overall in April, but a domestic-violence charge put a halt to those plans and kept the rookie out of all offseason workouts, training camp and the preseason. Although no formal charges eventually stuck, the NFL could still suspend Judkins in his first year in the NFL. The uncertainty around when Judkins will play and a possible suspension have tanked his fantasy value, but he's still worth a stash in most fantasy formats. Stay tuned.
