Cleveland running back Quinshon Judkins was part of an impressive Browns 2025 rookie class, falling just two yards shy of 1,000 yards from scrimmage before a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle ended his season. While teams around the league continue to practice without pads, Judkins has reportedly looked decisive and confident in the media-accessible portions of organized team activities and minicamp, signaling that the gruesome injury from almost six months ago should not hold him back in year two. While the Browns offense is still a work in progress, new head coach Todd Monken led the league's run-heaviest offense in two of his three seasons in Baltimore, while ranking second in the third, which could help to create one of the safest floors in fantasy if Judkins can hold onto the bell cow role he looked to be establishing as a rookie. Even factoring in a gradual ramp-up period to begin the year and a Week 16 contest in which he saw only 26 total snaps before the injury, Judkins' 16.4 carries per game were the eighth-most in the league. If either Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders can provide anything close to a representative level of quarterback play behind what looks to be an improved offensive line with a dynamic young group of pass catchers, Cleveland could see enough scoring opportunities to make Judkins a legitimate breakout candidate and a potential value at his current ranking of RotoBaller's dynasty RB11.--Patrick McGrath
