Quinshon Judkins No Longer the Primary Running Back in Cleveland

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.

Omar Cooper Jr. Questionable to Play in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 1:47 PM

New York Jets rookie first-round wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. The Jets' top receivers are all questionable with injuries this weekend, as Garrett Wilson (concussion) and Adonai Mitchell (knee) are also on the injury report and iffy to play. Wilson, who did not play in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a concussion, is very close to clearing the league's concussion protocol and is expected to return on Sunday, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. All three of Wilson, Cooper, and Mitchell were able to practice in full on Friday, so they should all be on the right side of questionable and eventually cleared to play this weekend. The 22-year-old Cooper, who has already spent time on Injured Reserve in his rookie campaign due to an ankle injury, had 11 catches on 12 targets for 218 yards and two touchdowns in his first two games back, but he laid a donut for fantasy managers in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders when Mitchell returned from a finger injury. He bounced back with eight receptions for 58 yards on a season-high 11 targets in the loss to the Chiefs, but fantasy managers should be knocking him down a few pegs in the flex rankings in Week 10 against Buffalo with Wilson expected to be back. Cooper should be viewed as a boom/bust WR4/flex, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 40 WR for Week 10.
