RB Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns
No wonder the browns felt the need to run back early in the NFL design of 2025. Without judkins, the running backs of the browns were pathetic in week 1, with only 40 hasty yards on 21 (1.9 meters per Carry). After a disastrous outdoor season that loved him the entire summer, Judkins was finally a full participant of Brown’s practice this week, and he was able to make his NFL debut in week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. Yes, Judkins can treat a long suspension this season or next at one point, but as long as he is on the field, he should be a good fantasy bearer and be a huge affections.
