Matt Bowen identifies Quinshon Judkins as top fantasy target for Cleveland Browns
Summary

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins enters the 2026 season as a primary fantasy option for managers. Despite recovering from a late-2025 ankle injury, Judkins averaged 12.1 fantasy points per game last season and recorded two outings with 20-plus points. Analyst Matt Bowen suggests the Cleveland offense will lean heavily on the run this season, providing Judkins with consistent volume between the tackles. He is also expected to serve as a frequent safety valve for the Browns quarterback. Judkins is considered a viable start for the Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense. While the team roster underwent significant changes during the offseason, Judkins remains a central figure for fantasy lineups as an RB2.
