Browns: Distancing Themselves from Quinshon Judkins?
2 days ago

The former Ohio State running back, selected No. 36 overall in the NFL Draft, is facing a potential domestic violence charge

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Cleveland Browns have told running back Quinshon Judkins and his agent to make his domestic incident the “high priority over football.” The team is in no hurry to get Judkins under contract, nor to get him to training camp on time.

 

Currently, the organization appears to be distancing itself from him after his run-in with the law. In 2024, former OSU defensive tackle and fellow second-round pick Mike Hall Jr. was placed on paid leave while awaiting charges for a similar incident. However, at this time, that does not seem to be a possibility for Judkins, as Cleveland is in no hurry to sign him.

 

Judkins rushed for 3,785 yards and a jaw-dropping 45 touchdowns in three years at Ohio State. Unfortunately for the running back, the NFL tends to take a serious stance on domestic violence claims and expects teams to follow suit. That leaves a whole host of possibilities for the running back, from resolving the case and signing with the team to signing and accepting a multi-game (six, typically) suspension, to Cleveland renouncing his rights altogether. The latter would make him a free agent, though not eligible to sign until the court issue is resolved.

 

The Browns have had multiple character issues color the roster as of late. This time, it seems the organization is content to keep Judkins at arm’s length while the accusations are settled. In the meantime, fantasy average draft positions are on the rise for Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson. Ford had already been listed as the team’s depth-chart starter, and Sampson’s size and speed (5-foot-8, 23 MPH game speed) make him a more than suitable third-down/receiving option. Fantasy managers should take note.

Details Released on Judkins Arrest
4 days ago

Victim alleges Quinshon Judkins struck her with a closed fist in the mouth and chin area.

The Fort Lauderdale Police have released more details of Quishon Judkins’ arrest. The victim showed pictures of the injuries, one of the officers noted that “bruising was clearly evident.” The victim also showed bruises on her arm and leg.

 

Judkins, one of the many second round selections not to sign a contract yet, has made his contract negotiations more complicated. As more details emerge we’ll get more clarity on any potential suspension. This also cast some doubt on his training camp availability, dealing with both contract and arrest situations.

 

Expect a continued fall in Judkins ADP and a simultaneous rise for Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson.

Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford Are Rising on Underdog
4 days ago

After the Quinshon Judkins arrest, Browns running backs Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford are rising on Underdog.

The rapid news cycle of the NFL season is fast approaching. It has been a rather quiet offseason as it relates to NFL players getting into trouble. That changed Saturday night when the news of Browns rookie 2nd round pick Quinshon Judkins got arrested for battery and domestic violence.

 

Since Saturday, both Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford have seen a significant ADP rise. Sampson, who was drafted in round 4 from Tennessee, moved up 9.4 spots from the middle of the 17th round on Underdog to the late 16th round. Ford has moved up 7.7 spots to the early part of round 18.

 

Both Sampson and Ford should expect a more meaningful rise in ADP should the news worsen for Judkins. Judkins has seen his ADP drop 4.5 spots into the middle of round 7. Regardless of Judkins’ status, it is smart to click Sampson and Ford at their ADP just by virtue of drafting backup running backs who can become starters. With there being added risk to Judkins’ future, Sampson and Ford become a higher priority in their respective ADP ranges.

Cleveland Browns Rookie Running Back Quinshon Judkins Arrested
6 days ago

Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins arrested for battery and domestic violence in Florida.

Browns rookie running back and Ohio State alum, Quinshon Judkins has been arrested in Florida for battery and domestic violence. The incident comes on the heels of Browns training camp which begins July 18th. 

 

There will surely be fallout from this incident and the NFL will monitor closely. As facts pour in there will be more clarity, but in the meantime clicking on Quinshon Judkins at his current ADP does not look good. From a real life perspective this is very serious. On the fantasy football front it creates a possible opening for Tennessee rookie running back Dylan Sampson and incumbent running back Jerome Ford to take the reins to start the season.

 

The severity of the incident and the status of Judkins in terms of guilt or innocence are to be determined. Judkins currently goes as the RB25 on Underdog at the 6-7 turn. Meanwhile Dylan Sampson is going in round 17 with Jerome Ford an 18th round pick. It is best to hold off on clicking Judkins until his ADP falls and more facts come out. Currently, Sampson and Ford present as excellent values at their current price with very little risk versus potential upside.

Quinshon Judkins called Bellcow by Browns GM

Andrew Berry has expectations of their new running back getting a heavy workload as soon as year 1

Quinshon Judkins steps right in to the Nick Chubb void left in the Browns organization, and no other back is more qualified than him to take up this torch. Judkins closest player comp on PlayerProfiler is indeed Nick Chubb. They have nearly identical builds, speed, agility and athleticism scores – Judkins ranks 28th all time at the position wile Chubb was 32nd. Both backs also had eerily similar college production and showed dominance from a young age.

 

In the seasons between his rookie campaign and his major injury, Nick Chubb finished as a top 10 RB each and every season – that expectation is now placed on Judkins shoulders as soon as he steps onto the field. This might be a stretch though, there are several factors to consider before projecting a RB1 finish for the rookie. The overall quality of the offense, the Quarterback situation and the O-line are all worse that what Chubb had to run with. Then there’s the individual players, Judkins does comp a lot to Chubb physically, but can he exploit holes in the line and break away for explosive plays at the rate that Chubb did through his career? And finally the selection of Dylan Sampson in the draft may seriously cut into the amount of touches available to Judkins overall. He should still be considered an immediate contributor to any fantasy roster, but lets pump the RB1 brakes for now.

Quinshon Judkins Gets High Praise From General Manager Andrew Berry
2 months ago

The Browns see Quinshon Judkins as a bell cow running back.

Quinshon Judkins landed in a great spot with the Cleveland Browns via the 2025 NFL Draft in round 2. The problem is that the Browns also selected a speedster running back from Tennessee in Dylan Sampson in round 4 of the NFL Draft.

 

Thoughts of a committee are less than ideal and fantasy managers love being greedy for elite backfield share usage from running backs that they draft. While the talent is high, there is a touch of coolness to Judkins’ post NFL Draft fantasy stock due to concerns over being in a committee with both Sampson and veteran back Jerome Ford. 

 

Recently, GM Andrew Berry stated that the Browns believe Judkins can be a, “bellcow runner that can really carry the load for us.’’ This is a good signal for anyone reluctant to boldly click on Judkins in drafts. On Underdog, he is currently going off the board in the late 6th round as the RB23.  Should Judkins be given a heavy workload in 2025, he will surely pay off his ADP, making him a less risky selection in drafts.
