Outlook Quinshon Judkins
Regained Explosiveness Positions Cleveland Lead Back as Premium Mid-Round Value
Quinshon Judkins is poised to lead the Cleveland backfield after recovering from a severe dislocated ankle and fractured fibula suffered last season. Reports from June confirm he has successfully regained his signature confidence and explosiveness, and our depth chart lists him as the clear lead back ahead of Dylan Sampson and Raheim Sanders.
Our models project Judkins for a highly productive campaign, forecasting 259 carries for 1,063 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, alongside 29 receptions for 203 yards. He remains highly rostered with an 84% ownership rate, though fantasy managers are currently starting him in just 41% of leagues as they monitor his recovery.
His ADP has experienced notable volatility, dipping as low as 42 in late May before stabilizing around 53 by early July. At this current mid-round cost in 1.0 PPR formats, our projections view Judkins as an outstanding value selection who offers RB1 upside at a discounted draft-day price.

Outlook Jeremiyah Love
Generational Rookie Runner Set to Lead Arizona's Crowded Backfield
The Cardinals raised eyebrows by selecting Jeremiyah Love third overall, signing him to a historic guaranteed contract. Despite joining a deep backfield with Tyler Allgeier and James Conner, our data lists Love as Arizona's lead running back. The rookie has found his NFL transition seamless, and his elite change-of-direction skills should translate into an immediate high-volume role.
Our projections highlight Love's immense dual-threat capability. We project him for 220 rushing attempts for 1,033 yards and seven touchdowns, plus 57 receptions on 80 targets for 418 yards and two scores. His passion for pass protection guarantees third-down security, establishing a secure floor in PPR formats.
Love's draft trends show climbing momentum, with his ADP surging from the mid-40s in late May to 21.0 overall by July. While his market price has risen quickly, our models still view him as an outstanding draft-day value in 1.0 PPR leagues due to his projected elite volume.
