Quinshon Judkins News
Wednesday, September 30, 12:29 PM
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins remains the Browns' lead back but has yet to produce a truly breakout performance yet this season. On the season, Judkins has 42 rushing attempts for 124 rushing yards (3.0 yards per carry). He also has nine receptions for 53 receiving yards. Judkins will look for that breakout performance against the Steelers in Week 4. The Steelers are allowing 113 rushing yards per game to opposing teams. Judkins has the ability to be heavily involved in both the run game and have some involvement in the passing game. The Steelers are allowing 4.4 yards per carry to opponents this season through three games. It would be best to treat Judkins as a mid-tier starting running back this week with the potential for more. It's hard to put blind faith in the former Ohio State running back when he has yet to produce a truly big game. But this is a home matchup against a fairly vulnerable defense, so at least look for Judkins to get back on track in this game.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt News
Sunday, October 4, 9:50 PM
Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had his third game with just single-digit PPR fantasy points in a row this season. He rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught two of his four targets for 35 yards. The Commanders suffered another injury at quarterback, as backup QB Marcus Mariota (knee) exited the game with a knee injury, leaving third-stringer and rookie Athan Kaliakmanis to serve as signal-caller. It resulted in Washington getting blown out by the opposing Indianapolis Colts, which isn't a huge surprise. WR Terry McLaurin (hamstring) missed the game, so it's no surprise the Commanders couldn't move the ball, which likely contributed to Croskey-Merritt's inefficiency. He's now averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on the season. He looks like the undrafted free agent signing that he is, and it's hard to imagine he keeps his lead RB role for long, but Washington hasn't functioned competently as an organization from a personnel standpoint recently. The Giants will head to Washington to take on the Commanders in Week 5. JCM is a bench candidate -- even as the starter, his ceiling and floor are both extremely low.
