Quinshon Judkins is likely to return in Week 7 for the Cleveland Browns, according to RotoBaller. The running back was ruled out ahead of the Browns’ Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

What happened

Judkins is dealing with an aggravation of an ankle injury he suffered last season, according to RotoBaller. He was questionable for Week 6 before being ruled out. RotoBaller reports that he is likely to return in Week 7.

Context

Judkins has played five games this season, totaling 56.3 PPR points on 73 carries for 221 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown, plus 18 receptions on 20 targets for 102 receiving yards. He has averaged 3.0 yards per carry, according to RotoBaller. In Week 5, he had 14 carries for 44 rushing yards and three receptions.

The Browns’ offense has been better than expected this season, per RotoBaller, but the last few games have seen struggles. Quarterback Deshaun Watson had two straight games with under 160 passing yards.

Depth chart

Sleeper lists Jaleel McLaughlin as the Browns’ RB1, with season totals of 11 carries for 72 rushing yards and six targets. Audric Estime is RB2, with nine carries for 19 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown in one game. Judkins is listed as RB6 on Sleeper’s depth chart. Dylan Sampson is on injured reserve with a knee injury, per Sleeper.

What’s next

The Browns’ Week 7 opponent is not listed in the schedule provided. Judkins is likely to return in Week 7, according to RotoBaller.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Judkins is likely back in Week 7, but his fantasy value is capped. RotoBaller notes he scored single-digit PPR points in four of his five games played and is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry. He needs volume and touchdowns to be fantasy relevant, and his pass-catching role could diminish when Dylan Sampson returns. For now, Judkins is a volume-dependent RB3/flex option in most formats. Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime are not strong replacements, so managers should temper expectations. Given the uncertainty, Judkins is best viewed as a low-end flex play until the offense shows more life.
