Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins averaged a paltry 2.9 yards per carry and had 47 rushing yards on 16 carries in the 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but he saved his day for fantasy managers by scoring twice on the ground in the first half in Week 12. The 22-year-old was not targeted in the passing game and has not caught a pass in the last two games. Judkins also suffered a head injury in the fourth quarter and was sent to the medical tent, but he was cleared before the end of the contest. The Ohio State product's head injury allowed Dylan Sampson to get some run late in the contest, and he took advantage of it by ripping off a 66-yard touchdown catch. Judkins hasn't been very efficient on the ground in the last three games, but as long as he's healthy enough to play in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, where he'll remain an RB2 play in fantasy football.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has been struggling to find room to run of late, rushing for just 153 scoreless yards with just five catches for eight yards over his past three games. While Judkins has shown to be a talented NFL runner, a punchless Cleveland passing offense is clearly making things tough on the rookie, as defenses can key in on stopping him. He will look to turn it around in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have been decent against the run this season, allowing the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs. Judkins has been seeing almost all of the backfield work in Cleveland, which is keeping him fantasy relevant, but he shapes up as a low-end RB2 in fantasy for this weekend.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins carried the ball 17 times for 59 yards and failed to catch either of his two targets in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Judkins was unable to capitalize on what appeared to be a good matchup on paper against the Baltimore run defense, as he managed just 3.5 yards per carry in the loss. The rookie has now been held out of the end zone in three consecutive games as the Cleveland offense continues to struggle to move the ball. Judkins will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders on the road.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has struggled a bit with his efficiency of late as he's gained just 94 yards on 31 carries over his past two games, good for just 3.0 yards per carry over that span. He has also been held out of the end zone over that span after scoring three times against the Miami Dolphins back in Week 7. Judkins will look to get back on track in a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has been a plus matchup for running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position through nine games. Judkins has been dominating the backfield work for the Browns this season and fantasy managers can expect more of the same in Week 11, making Judkins a high-end RB2 heading into Sunday's matchup.
Nov 14, 2025 4:29 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has had a strong rookie campaign through eight games, handling 140 carries for 561 yards and five touchdowns to go with 14 catches (18 targets) for 70 yards as a receiver. The 22-year-old was bottled up on heavy usage in Cleveland's Week 10 loss at the Jets, averaging just 3.5 yards on 24 touches. Judkins has taken on one of the biggest workloads in the league as a rookie, with his 17.5 carries per game ranking sixth highest among running backs. Cleveland's poor offensive situation has limited some of the upside, and he doesn't catch a ton of passes, but the rookie has still been productive, ranking as RB20 in PPR points per game (13.4). Judkins will remain on the RB1/RB2 border for Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins suffered a shoulder injury in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, but he comes out of his Week 9 bye without an injury designation. He should be in line to handle his normal workload in a Week 10 road matchup against the New York Jets. The Jets have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. A Tuesday trade of Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys won't help matters much as New York looks to try to slow down Judkins. The Browns have a good shot at beating or at least keeping things close against the Jets in Week 10, which makes Judkins less likely to see a poor game script limit his touches. He sets up as a low-end RB1 in fantasy heading into Week 10.
Nov 7, 2025 5:48 PM EST
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) practiced in full on Wednesday and is not on the Week 10 injury report as the team begins preparing to face the New York Jets on Sunday. Judkins was forced from the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots early with a shoulder injury, but the 22-year-old Ohio State product benefited from last week's bye. He doesn't come in with an injury status this week and should be all systems go as Cleveland's unquestioned lead back against the 1-7 Jets this weekend. Against a New York defense that just traded away star cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, Judkins will be an absolute must-start in his return. Judkins has looked strong in his first seven NFL games with the Browns, carrying the ball 118 times for 486 yards and five touchdowns while adding 60 receiving yards on 12 receptions.
Nov 5, 2025 5:26 PM EST
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 10. Judkins suffered an AC joint sprain in Week 8, but the Week 9 bye provided valuable recovery time. Through seven games, the rookie has handled 118 carries for 486 yards and five rushing touchdowns, while adding 12 receptions for 60 yards, solidifying his role as the lead back in Cleveland's offense. The Browns draw a favorable Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets, who have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this year. Judkins is on track to play and should be viewed as a strong RB2 with touchdown upside in this matchup.
Nov 5, 2025 11:04 AM EST
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he "feels good" about rookie running back Quinshon Judkins' (shoulder) availability for the Week 10 contest this Sunday against the New York Jets, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Judkins was forced to leave the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots early due to an AC joint sprain, but with the benefit of a bye in Week 9, he may not have to miss a game. Stefanski called Judkins "day-to-day" on Monday, so fantasy managers have to feel good about the rookie's chances to suit up this weekend in a favorable matchup. The 22-year-old second-rounder out of Ohio State didn't take long to take over lead-back duties in Cleveland this year, and he should be the team's RB1 this weekend if he's cleared. Judkins has been a must-start in fantasy lineups in 2025, posting 486 rushing yards and five touchdowns on his 118 carries through seven starts. He's also added 12 catches for 60 yards on 15 targets.
Nov 3, 2025 1:02 PM EST
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's loss to the Patriots with a shoulder injury. Judkins has been a bright spot on an otherwise pedestrian Browns offense, but in limited action on Sunday, he was held to only 19 yards on nine carries by a New England defense that has yet to allow a 50-yard rusher this season. With the Browns on a Week 9 bye, Judkins' next chance to see the field will be in a much more favorable Week 10 matchup with the New York Jets. His status should be monitored over the next two weeks, but if he is active when the team returns from the bye, he could see one of the week's highest projections.
Oct 27, 2025 2:38 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New England Patriots. He was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. Fortunately for Judkins and his fantasy managers, the Browns have a Week 9 bye, giving the rookie 14 days to recover before his next game (Nov. 9 against the Jets). In the event that Judkins' absence lasts multiple weeks and keeps him sidelined coming out of the bye, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson would be in line to lead Cleveland's backfield.
Oct 26, 2025 3:42 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 8 contest against the New England Patriots. He is officially listed as questionable to return. With Cleveland trailing by three possessions in the fourth quarter, we could see the Browns exercise caution and limit Judkins' workload the rest of the way, or keep him sidelined entirely. If his day is indeed done, he finishes with just 19 rushing yards, plus three catches for a loss of two receiving yards. Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson would be in line to Cleveland's backfield if Judkins misses extended time.
Oct 26, 2025 3:23 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins turned in a huge game in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. On a rainy, windy day in Cleveland, the Browns leaned on Judkins, who rushed for 84 yards and three touchdowns in the win. The rookie runner will look to keep it going on the road in Week 8 against the New England Patriots. New England has been dominant against the run this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game this year. Judkins has a difficult matchup, but he has been a true workhorse for Cleveland this season and should push for at least another 20 touches this weekend. Treat him as a high-end RB2 heading into Week 8.
Oct 24, 2025 8:23 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins carried the ball 25 times for 84 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was not targeted in the passing game. Judkins' yardage efficiency (3.4 YPC) was nothing special, but that's a moot point when you look at his touchdown efficiency. The rookie had a great opportunity to thrive this week against a Dolphins defense that has struggled to defend the run all year. Miami's offensive woes also helped Judkins, giving the ball back to Cleveland's offense quite often. Judkins certainly capitalized on his opportunities and now has double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in five of his six games. He should be viewed as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 8 against the New England Patriots.
Oct 19, 2025 5:40 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has been one of the few bright spots for his team's offense through six games in 2025. The rookie running back has now rushed for 383 yards and two touchdowns while adding nine catches for 62 yards in five games. Judkins will be looking to bounce back in Week 7 after he turned in his slowest output of the season last week as the Pittsburgh Steelers held him to just 36 yards on 12 carries. Judkins has a good shot at a big afternoon in Week 7 as he will face off against the Miami Dolphins at home. Miami's defense has been quite generous to opposing running backs this season, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game so far. Judkins can be trusted as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 7.
Oct 17, 2025 6:53 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins turned in a slow outing in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Judkins carried the ball 12 times for just 36 yards while failing to catch his lone target on a rough afternoon for the Cleveland offense against their division rivals. The slow outing was Judkins' first dud since he signed his contract before Week 2, as the rookie had been remarkably consistent up until Week 6. He will look to bounce back against a Miami Dolphins defense that is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in 2025. Judkins can be treated as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 7.
Oct 14, 2025 7:06 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is off to a red-hot start to his career. Judkins has gained at least 82 rushing yards in three straight games while finding the end zone twice. That includes the first 100-yard rushing game of his career in Week 5's 21-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings as he turned 23 carries into 110 yards. He will look to keep it going in a Week 6 road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have been solid against running backs this season, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to the position through four games. Judkins has been seeing almost all of the running-back touches and sets up as a locked-in RB2 in fantasy based on projected volume alone.
Oct 11, 2025 7:52 AM EST
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was his team's star of the show Sunday in a loss to Minnesota, compiling 128 total yards with a feature back's workload. The rookie from Ohio State drew 23 carries for 110 yards, caught one of two targets for another 18, and was by far his team's top choice out of the backfield. Judkins has now surpassed 90 total yards in all three games in which he played 50% of his team's snaps, which is a highly encouraging sign for managers who drafted him. With quarterback Dillon Gabriel earning a trial run as the starter, Cleveland is likely to continue riding two-tight end sets and its running game, making Judkins an excellent fantasy commodity going forward.
Oct 5, 2025 1:31 PM EST
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins will look to continue his red-hot start to the season with a Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Judkins has now rushed for at least 82 yards and a touchdown in two straight games as he has become the centerpiece of the Cleveland offense early in the season. His heavy-volume role should continue in Week 5 as the Vikings' defense has been much susceptible against the run than the pass through the first four games of the season. With quarterback Dillon Gabriel making his NFL debut, look for Judkins to get the ball early and often in Week 5. He sets up as a low-end RB1 in fantasy this weekend.
Oct 4, 2025 9:56 AM EST
The Cleveland Browns could be turning more to rookie running back Quinshon Judkins now that the team has formally made a change at quarterback, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Cleveland's offense has been one of the very worst in the league, prompting the club to bench quarterback Joe Flacco in favor of rookie Dillon Gabriel for this week's game against Minnesota, which will be played in London. Judkins looks to be a benefactor of the switch, as the Browns likely will look to their running attack to give the first-time starting quarterback some help against a good defensive line. Judkins has drawn 19 and 25 touches, respectively, during the past two weeks, opening the possibility he's going to get feature-back work as long as he's healthy.
