Quinshon Judkins Returns to Team Drills on Tuesday

Tuesday, August 25, 12:15 PM

Cleveland Browns second-year running back Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) was back in team drills at training camp on Tuesday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Judkins was limited to individual drills on Monday in his first day back at practice following an undisclosed injury that he picked up last week. It remains to be seen if Judkins will be cleared to play in the team's preseason finale this Thursday against the New England Patriots, but even if he's not active, the 22-year-old Ohio State product should be just fine for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday, Sept. 13, against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The biggest thing holding back Judkins' fantasy value going into his second NFL season is the Browns' offense as a whole, which will be led by veteran quarterback Deshaun Watson, at least early on. After he was taken 36th overall in the second round last April, Judkins led the Browns with 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 230 carries across 14 games as a rookie, adding 26 catches for 171 yards through the air. With Dylan Sampson stealing valuable pass-game targets, Judkins should be considered a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex in his second season.

Jadarian Price Won't Play in Preseason Finale on Friday

Thursday, August 27, 11:27 AM

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price and any starters who have not been playing in the preseason will not play in the preseason finale on Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. Price, who was the final pick of the first round in April out of Notre Dame, could end up being Seattle's preferred backfield option in the early going in 2026 while Zach Charbonnet (knee) continues to rehab the ACL tear he suffered last postseason. The 5-foot-11, 209-pounder doesn't have elite speed out of the backfield, but that didn't stop him from showing off his explosiveness and big-play abilities for the Fighting Irish while sitting behind Jeremiyah Love, who went third overall this year to the Arizona Cardinals. We are expecting Price to be involved in some sort of timeshare with George Holani to begin his rookie season, and while there is long-term appeal, Price's redraft stock will take a hit whenever Charbonnet makes his season debut. Fantasy managers should treat Price as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex target with more short-term upside in 2026.
