Latest takes
“Quinshon Judkins had off-the-field and contract issues last year, entering his rookie season, which caused him to miss training camp and not start the season until Week 2. Once he was on the field, he was Cleveland’s workhorse back until suffering an ankle and fibula fracture in Week 16.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“Judkins is coming off a fibula fracture, and historical research shows players returning from that type of major leg injury tend to significantly underperform their prior production the following season, a pattern worth fading regardless of positive camp reports.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“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
“Round 5 Targets Davante Adams (WR – LAR) | ADP: 50.4 ( WR 22) Many are expecting significant touchdown regression for Davante Adams. Last season, the future Hall of Famer led the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns despite missing the final three games with a hamstring injury.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 25“The FantasyPros ECR is pricing Davante Adams as a low-end fantasy football WR2. But last year was actually a red-flag season disguised as an elite one; he posted a career-low catch rate of 53%, his YAC per reception hit a career low, and the bulk of his production was TD-dependent with 15 scores (three coming in a game without Puka Nacua ).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“He has contingent upside if Puka Nacua or Davante Adams miss any games.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 19

“Davante Adams is entering his age-34 season, caught only 60 passes for 789 yards last year and missed the final three games with a hamstring injury. That would already be enough to make him risky.”
Javier Manzanera· Aug 14“With offensive wizard Sean McVay as his head coach and the dynamic duo of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams at wide receiver, Stafford seems well positioned for another big season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“13: Davante Adams (WR – LAR) Many are expecting significant touchdown regression for Davante Adams.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 10“For the first time in a long time, Davante Adams is priced outside the top-24 WRs:”
The FF Newsletter· Aug 6“Having Davante Adams and Puka Nacua has elevated his fantasy value, and the Rams are built to make one more run with Stafford under center.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 5“When Davante Adams is currently discussed, the conversation revolves around his age, the QB’s age, his coach, the other receivers on the team, pretty much anything and everything BUT his concussion history.”
Peter Kettering· Jul 24“There’s a chance Stafford’s goal-line connection with Davante Adams (another overvalued player on ESPN ) helps inoculate him from this regression.”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 22“Los Angeles WR Davante Adams ranked 10th on this same list: “His instincts and route running are still there even as his athletic traits have declined,” an NFC exec said.”
Wyatt Grindley· Jul 19“While Davante Adams doesn't receive a ton of volume, he is a touchdown machine.”
Kurt Blakeway· Jul 10“Some players are TD monsters every year (Davante Adams) while others have shown that six or seven TDs is their ceiling such as Keenan Allen.”
Kyle Borgognoni· Jul 3“Davante Adams finished as the fantasy WR8 last season, yet 14 of his 60 receptions last year went for touchdowns. Adams is coming off a career-low catch rate (53%) and YAC per reception total, and at 33 years old, will need to compete with Puka Nacua and the Rams' bevy of tight ends for targets.”
Evan Tarracciano· Jun 25“Davante Adams led the league in touchdowns for the third time in his career, developing an elite red-zone connection with Matthew Stafford.”
