Quinshon Judkins 2025 Fantasy Preview
| Quinshon Judkins | RB -Cleveland Browns | Bye:9 |
| Age: 21 | HT: 5-11 | WT: 221 |
2024: Originally recruited to Ole Miss, Judkins (6’/221) was inarguably the best freshman running back in the country in 2022, totaling 1,567 yards and 16 touchdowns on 274 carries. His efficiency plummeted from 5.7 yards per carry to 4.3 in his sophomore season, as he supplied 1,158 yards on a nearly identical workload. Looking for a power complement to TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State then lured Judkins away from Ole Miss ahead of their 2024 national championship campaign.
What’s changed: Splitting the backfield with another future NFL back, Judkins rushed only 194 times, but his efficiency rebounded as he went off for 1,060 yards and 14 scores. Judkins is a serviceable pass-catcher but nothing more, having caught 22 balls in each of his final two seasons. The former Buckeye was a physical and consistent runner in college, but scouts were quick to point out his lack of top-end speed.
Outlook: Second-rounder Judkins was supposed to begin his rookie year as the Browns’ clear-cut early-down back, but he was arrested and charged with domestic violence in July. Still unsigned as of this writing, Judkins appears destined for a stay on the commissioner’s exempt list, and might not even play NFL football in 2025. That leaves holdover Jerome Ford and fellow rookie Dylan Sampson as the Browns’ top two backs for the time being.
