Quinshon Judkins vs Jadarian Price

“Players in the same value range as Ward include Quinshon Judkins , Christian McCaffrey , and A.J.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Quinshon Judkins looks like a volume trap.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Judkins has three-down upside and should be a target wherever he falls on draft day.”

“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.”

“Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Believe it or not, Jeremiyah Love isn’t the only highly-touted rookie running back drafted from Notre Dame this offseason.”

“Jadarian Price has a chance to lead this backfield with Zach Charbonnet still recovering from his knee injury. Price is explosive, and I’ll be curious to see if he gets passing game work in the NFL.”

“Therefore, Price has a chance to be a massive steal at his current ADP, especially given his play at the start of training camp. Last year, the Seahawks had a run-first offense, ranking third in rushing attempts, averaging 25.8 per game from their running backs.”

“Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) It was clear when Jadarian Price was drafted that he would carry the majority of the workload in Seattle. The Seahawks drafted him in the first round to replace Kenneth Walker III , and the team has treated him like a starter from the jump.”

“If Charbonnet isn’t back and rookie Jadarian Price can’t adapt to the NFL quickly, could we see even more volume for Smith-Njigba?”

“Jadarian Price is one of my favorite mid-round running back targets this season as he’s projected to open the year as Seattle’s No. 1 RB. Price was electric during his time at Notre Dame, averaging more than six yards per carry in each of his three seasons.”

“Round 9: Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) With Kenneth Walker III leaving for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price in the first round.”

“The other player younger than Tuten is Jadarian Price , who has a looming split backfield with Zach Charbonnet .”

“Price was just selected in the first round by the reigning Super Bowl champions, who have an extremely run-heavy offense. Right now, his biggest competition for touches is George Holani , a 2024 UDFA with less than 100 career rushing yards.”

“Jadarian Price is another running back to fade. While everyone loves rookie running backs with first-round draft capital, here’s the thing: He’s not your usual first-round running back.”

“Brian Fleury has to preserve the pieces that worked while adjusting to a backfield that lost Kenneth Walker III, may not have Zach Charbonnet for much of the year, and is leaning heavily on rookie Jadarian Price despite major questions in pass protection, ball security, and receiving usage.”

“That gutted the backfield, and GM John Schneider responded by spending his first-round pick, the 32nd overall selection, on Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, the first running back Seattle has taken in the first round since Rashaad Penny in 2018. Price is a dynamic talent who averaged 6.0 yards per carry behind No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love and led the nation with 37.5 yards per kickoff return, though he will need to refine his pass protection to handle a full three-down role.”
