Quinshon Judkins, Quinshon Judkins Looks To Play Through Injury Against Ravens

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for the team's Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury. Judkins missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday before receiving the questionable designation. The Ravens are 12th in the NFL in run defense, allowing 102.0 rush yards per game and have given up six rushing touchdowns this season. If Judkins is good to go, he will have a tough matchup against a solid Baltimore rush defense and is off to a bit of a slow start to the season through five games. The Ohio State product has run 73 times for 221 yards and one rushing touchdown. Judkins will look to get going as his 3.0 yards per rush attempt this season has not been overwhelming. Browns backup running back Dylan Sampson has been ruled out for Week 6, and the Browns signed Audric Estime as a precaution in case Judkins is unable to suit up. Estime should also see some carries even if Judkins is healthy enough to play.

Deshaun Watson, Deshaun Watson A Mid-Tier Starting QB For Week 6

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson returns home for a Week 6 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens after losing a road contest to the New York Jets last week. Watson was inaccurate overall against the Jets in Week 5, completing 15-of-33 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown pass to wide receiver Denzel Boston. Watson will look to build on and improve his performance from last week back at home against the Ravens. The Ravens' pass defense ranks 18th in the NFL with 223.6 passing yards allowed per game and has allowed just five passing touchdowns this season. Watson has struggled to put up QB1 numbers this season and has a completion rate of 64.2 percent this year with 1,010 passing yards and seven passing touchdowns. Watson could have trouble finding the end zone against Baltimore who has allowed just one passing touchdown per game so far this season. But Watson has at least one passing touchdown in each of his two previous home games this season. Expect another mid-tier performance from Watson as the Browns are back in Cleveland.

Harold Fannin Jr., Harold Fannin Jr. has Been Inconsistent to Start Sophomore Season

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2025 with 72 receptions on 107 targets for 731 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games played, but so far in 2026, he has been hit or miss as a TE1 in fantasy. The 22-year-old former third-rounder from Bowling Green has 18 catches on his 27 targets for 157 yards and three touchdowns in his first five games. Fannin had three touchdowns in Weeks 3 and 4 before falling flat in Sunday's Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, when he caught just one of his four targets for a four-yard gain. The Browns were dealing with rainy conditions all day in New York last weekend, though, so the young tight end will be looking to bounce back in a divisional matchup this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. Fannin is on the TE1/2 borderline going into Week 6, with more volatility now that we know that both rookie receivers KC Concepcion Jr. and Denzel Boston will be active after being on the injury report this week. His touchdowns have been nice, but he has only two games over 50 receiving yards so far in 2026.

Dylan Sampson, Dylan Sampson Ruled Out Against Ravens

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Daniel Oyefusi. Sampson injured his knee in the season opener against Jacksonville and will miss his fifth consecutive game. Cleveland opened his 21-day practice window Wednesday, but he didn't participate until Thursday, when he was limited. Sampson remains on injured reserve despite taking that step toward a return. His absence leaves the Browns with additional concerns in their backfield, as Quinshon Judkins (ankle) is questionable after returning to practice Friday. Raheim Sanders (hip) is also on injured reserve, leaving Jaleel McLaughlin and newly signed Audric Estime as potential options for increased work if Judkins cannot play. Sampson could return as early as Week 7 against Tennessee, although his availability has yet to be determined.

KC Concepcion Jr., KC Concepcion Jr. Cleared for Week 6

Cleveland Browns rookie first-round wide receiver KC Concepcion Jr. (concussion) has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol and does not have an injury designation for Week 6 on Sunday against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Concepcion suffered a scary concussion on a head-to-head hit early in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, so it is a bit of a surprise that he will be available this weekend. The 22-year-old 24th overall pick back in April from Texas A&M has been a nice one-two punch with fellow rookie Denzel Boston in the Browns' offense, with both rookie receivers pushing veteran Jerry Jeudy down the depth chart. Concepcion has 18 receptions for 149 yards and is still searching for the first touchdown of his NFL career through his first five contests. Now that we know Concepcion will play against the Ravens, he will be in play as a WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in the divisional tilt.
