Fantasy analysts suggest caution regarding Browns running back Quinshon Judkins

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins enters the 2026 season recovering from a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula sustained in December 2025. Despite his college workload and projected role as the team's primary runner, fantasy analysts Jason Katz and Kyle Soppe rank him as the 63rd overall player. This position falls below his current average draft position of 46.6 in fantasy mock drafts. Concerns regarding the offensive line and his 3.6 yards-per-carry average from last season contribute to the recommendation to pass on him until later draft rounds. While he holds a projected volume suitable for a flex position in Week 1, his overall outlook remains subject to volatility given his recent injury and the evolving nature of the Browns offense.
