Kyle Shanahan is interested in Quinchon Judkins' potential role expansion on the Browns, specifically whether he will get more passing-down work. While noting that being an early-down back on a potentially bottom-five NFL team is not ideal, Shanahan finds himself intrigued by Judkins' prospects, particularly given Todd Monken's offensive coaching acumen and well-designed run game that could benefit Judkins.

Judkins is a running back on a potentially disastrous Browns offense who doesn't get much receiving work. To be part of a championship contention plan, he would need to crack double-digit touchdowns, which is not something to bank on in that Browns offense. Matthew Berry is lower on Judkins than he probably should be, expressing skepticism about his fantasy upside.

Junkins is a two-down profile on a really bad team (Thorns ranked 31st in offensive line), limiting his fantasy ceiling. Silva came in wanting to be aggressive on Junkins but has not been aggressive relative to market; he is at 58 overall while home league ADP is 47 overall, indicating the market is overvaluing him relative to his role constraints.

Judkins is in the middle of the fifth round ADP despite playing for Todd Monken, who ranks first among all playcallers with a 14.3% designed run rate. The source notes this is notable because Judkins lacks a mobile quarterback like Lamar Jackson, yet still benefits from one of the league's most run-heavy offensive designs.

With a rebuilt offensive line to run behind in 2026, hopefully better quarterback play, and more scoring opportunities, Judkins could return RB2 production this season. His rookie season was hampered by a poor offensive line: he had the fifth-highest mark of yards after first contact (62.2% of rushing yards after first contact) and the fourth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, with only Cam Skattebo, Ashton Jeanty, and Zach Charbonnet seeing less runway.

Judkins entered his rookie season with off-the-field and contract issues that caused him to miss training camp and not start until Week 2. In Weeks 2-15, he was the RB26 in fantasy points per game (RB22 in expected fantasy points per game), averaging 18.7 touches and 72.8 total yards. The source wasn't high on Judkins as a prospect due to poor per-touch efficiency in college, a trend he didn't debunk in his rookie season: he ranked 40th in explosive run rate, 33rd in missed tackle rate, and 26th in yards after contact per attempt among 49 qualifying backs.
