Latest takes
“Not only is he coming off a significant injury, but Judkins will be playing in a Browns offense expected to be among the league’s most anemic, and he’ll be running behind a completely remade offensive line composed of guys who haven’t played together.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 16“Players in the same value range as Ward include Quinshon Judkins , Christian McCaffrey , and A.J.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 11“Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) A mid‑round Zero RB build benefits from players who offer volume, receiving work and a path to RB1 production, and Quinshon Judkins fits that profile better than most.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 11

“Judkins screams to me as a volume-driven fantasy football RB2. To me, that profiles as replaceable production that isn’t necessarily built to last.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“02: Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) Despite missing most of training camp and Week 1 because of off-the-field issues as a rookie, Quinshon Judkins had a productive 2025 season.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 10“Quinshon Judkins looks like a volume trap.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 9“Judkins sits at RB14 in dynasty ECR after becoming an instant workhorse last year following a legal issue that kept him out of camp and week one. He’s only 22 with a genuine workhorse profile, but his team’s offensive line ranked dead last among combined preseason rankings, his receiving profile looks limited, and he’s coming off a serious ankle and fibula injury that raises real doubt about his readiness entering this season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 9“With a rebuilt offensive line to run behind in 2026, hopefully better quarterback play in front of him (fingers crossed), and more scoring opportunities, Judkins could return RB2 production this season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“Overvalued: Quinshon Judkins, Running Back (RB23, Pick 52 OVR) Quinshon Judkins was a great talent coming out of college, but had a shortened offseason thanks to his domestic violence “issues” (a euphemism to say that he beat a woman). He ended his rookie year by destroying his leg late in the season, and is recovering from his leg and ankle injury.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 25“Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) Judkins was off to a strong start as a rookie before a fractured fibula ended his season. Recovery timelines from that type of injury have been mixed for other NFL players, though Judkins is young enough that he’s had ample time to heal.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 25“Even with Dylan Sampson around, Judkins is the workhorse and could get 250+ touches assuming good health for the entire season. Now a second-year running back, Judkins is in the window of time when running backs start to explode.”
Ryan Kirksey· Jul 24“Judkins has three-down upside and should be a target wherever he falls on draft day.”
Kyle Zeigler· Jul 20“Judkins had at least 18 rushing attempts for 110 yards or a touchdown in three consecutive games after making his debut. Furthermore, Judkins averaged 17.4 PPR fantasy points per game in the six contests with 18+ rushing attempts.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 18“Judkins finished as the RB26 in PPR formats with 169.8 fantasy points, a baseline he should surpass with a full workload under head coach Todd Monken. There is no reason he can't push into RB1 territory this season and remain there beyond 2026.”
Lawrence Iacona· Jul 9“Quinshon Judkins was trying to overcome a bad offense in 2025 and may see that same dilemma in 2026. Judkins passed the eye test when he was on the field before injury, and he looks explosive right now in practice, too. Even though 67% of his runs went for 3 or fewer yards (worst rate in the NFL), he was still a workload monster who got 34% of the Browns' rush attempts and targets.”
Colt Williams· Jul 8
“Still, Rodriguez is competing for backfield touches with second-year pro Bhayshul Tuten , and Rodriguez could realistically pace the backfield in carries or at least carve out a fantasy-friendly role as a goal-line option.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 19“Even though I have brought his name up all offseason, calling Bhayshul Tuten a “must-have” on May 8th, he is the perfect back for this article.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“Tuten is an explosive play waiting to happen. He is 5-foot-9 and 209 pounds, and ran a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the combine.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11

“Round 12: Chris Rodriguez (RB – JAX) The Jaguars have Bhayshul Tuten as the primary ball-carrier, but Chris Rodriguez Jr.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5“Bhayshul Tuten (JAC) — ECR: RB25 | Projection Rank: RB23 | Projected FPTS: 193.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“Last yr among 35 RBs w/ at least 25 RZ rush att (per @FantasyPtsData ) Sure… Chris Rodriguez was 6th in rushing success % & had the 13th-lowest stuff % BUT… Bhayshul Tuten was 4th BEST in rushing success % & had the 4th-lowest stuff %.”
Mike Anderson· Aug 3“Rodriguez will remain a worry for Tuten at the goal line and to his overall touch count until we see his role fleshed out this season, but if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne’s RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“With Travis Etienne Jr. now in New Orleans, there are now more than 250 vacated touches in Jacksonville for Bhayshul Tuten and new running back addition Chris Rodriguez Jr.”
Ryan Kirksey· Jul 24“The Bhayshul Tuten hype train has only continued to grow this offseason. Despite the threat of newly acquired Chris Rodriguez, Tuten’s ADP has been on a steady rise this summer.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 23“Bhayshul Tuten being ranked outside of the top 24 in half-PPR feels criminal. Yes, he will face competition from Chris Rodriguez in camp, but all signs point towards Tuten winning the starting running back role for Jacksonville.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23“Some may call me crazy, but I call Tuten a league winner.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 23“Bhayshul Tuten was picked almost entirely on per-touch efficiency. Among 55 qualifying running backs last year, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate and 11th in missed tackles forced, elite marks for a rookie.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 22“With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. I want to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was unfortunately robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season as he was sidelined by a finger injury.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 15“Mike sees the upside in Tuten, expecting him to be boot-scootin' up to top-end RB volume this season.”
Kemper Trull· Jul 10
