Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Quinshon Judkins

Thursday, November 12, 5:36 AM

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins' snap share has taken an enormous hit over the last two weeks, and his playing time would suggest that he is no longer the No. 1 option in the Browns' backfield. Judkins has played fewer than 40% of the snaps in each of the last two weeks, taking on less of a role while Dylan Sampson plays the majority of the snaps. The Ohio State product has still led the team in rushing attempts during each of those two games, but the Browns have made a diligent effort to get Sampson more involved overall, and specifically in the receiving game. Given that Sampson is now getting more targets than Judkins, the latter has seen his upside drop significantly, especially in PPR leagues. Now, Judkins has become largely dependent on scoring touchdowns, whereas Sampson can still meet his projection by catching passes, even if he doesn't find the end zone. Judkins may still be the more intriguing fantasy option in this backfield in the short term and long term, but there's no denying that his outlook has become bleaker as his role has been reduced. He is no longer in must-start territory going forward.
