Quinshon Judkins is working his way back from a major late-season leg injury, but his rookie-year metrics prove he is a foundational piece after commandingly securing a 51.1-percent Snap Share in Cleveland’s backfield. Despite the early exit, he delivered 827 rushing yards and a 27.8-percent Dominator Rating, flashing real utility inside the 20-yard line with 33 red zone touches.
If he avoids any setbacks through August, running behind an upgraded offensive line makes him a clear value option hidden in plain sight. At age 22.7, Judkins is an affordable cornerstone asset for fantasy football dynasty leagues.

The Cleveland Browns just secured a massive, 6-foot-4 WR at No. 39 by drafting Denzel Boston, a certified possession alpha who pairs a surgical 2.5% Drop Rate with an elite 61% Contested Catch Rate. Boston’s analytical profile boasts a 26.5% Target Share and a scorched-earth 112.3 Passer Rating when Targeted, proving he can command high-volume usage while remaining hyper-efficient at all three levels of the field.
For Dynasty players, Boston remains late first/early second rookie pick on an offense that is stacking young weapons (KC Concepcion, Harold Fannin Jr., Quinshon Judkins) to help whoever ends up starting under center.
Quinshon Judkins is expected to be a full participant in training camp this July, with the rose-colored glasses-wearing Berry suggesting he could return for non-contact drills as early as May OTAs. While Judkins will surely miss some early workouts, he is on track to rejoin teammates for various field activities throughout the spring.
Judkins should retake the field in time for June minicamp. At just 22.4 years old, Judkins remains a premium dynasty league assets. Buy the injury dip and the Cleveland backfield uncertainty.
Jerome Ford will miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. Since week 7, Ford had not seen a snap share above 40% and he hasn’t finished any better than the RB28 on a given week in 2025.
Ford had some early season appeal when Quinshon Judkins was dealing with legal trouble, but that quickly evaporated once Judkins joined the team. Expect Ford to draw meager interest in the offseason in a support role to a lead back. For dynasty, Ford is best left at the back end of rosters as his best days are more than likely behind him.

Rookie stud Quinshon Judkins who got injured in Week 8 is good to go this week against the depleted New York Jets. Judkins should run wild against this sup par defense after the trade moves the Jets recently made.
But there is caution to this if the Cleveland Browns are up big in this one, you may see fellow rookie Dylan Sampson get involved as well to help Judkins further injuring his shoulder.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski says rookie running back Quinshon Judkins is day to day.
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins is day to day after suffering a shoulder injury in week eight. Judkins will have the week nine bye to rest his shoulder.
Judkins took over the Browns backfield this season, he only rushed for nineteen yards in week eight but the week prior he scored three touchdowns. Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson combined for just four touches this week, which reinforces how they’ve become just role players with Judkins on the field.
The day to day description paired with Cleveland’s bye this week paints an optimistic view on Judkins week ten outlook but Ford and Sampson are speculative adds in case this injury is worse than expected.
