Outlook Quinshon Judkins
Workhorse Volume and Explosive Rebound Anchor High-End RB2 Appeal
Judkins enters his second season fully recovered from last year's fractured fibula, solidifying his spot atop the Browns' backfield depth chart ahead of Dylan Sampson. After showing renewed burst and clearing camp without limitations, he is positioned as Cleveland's primary offensive workhorse.
Our season projection models him for a heavy workload of 290 carries, 1,065 rushing yards, and eight touchdowns, along with roughly 25 receptions. While passing-down work may remain limited, his commanding goal-line role and early-down volume offer dependable RB2 utility with weekly RB1 ceiling.
After climbing into the mid-fourth round earlier in the summer, his ADP has drifted back toward pick 62 following a brief August practice absence. With an 81% start rate across fantasy leagues, this recent market softening turns him into an outstanding draft-day value at his current cost.

Outlook Jonathon Brooks
High-Upside Comeback Threat Poised to Claim Backfield Share
After missing significant time recovering from back-to-back ACL tears, Jonathon Brooks is finally fully healthy and turning heads in Carolina. Head coach Dave Canales praised his speed and decisiveness throughout camp, which culminated in an emotional preseason touchdown. Brooks opens the year sharing touches alongside Chuba Hubbard in the Panthers' backfield.
Our season projections forecast a productive campaign, modeling 170 carries for 700 rushing yards and five touchdowns, complemented by 23 catches for 170 receiving yards and two scores (137.0 PPR points). With backfield competition thinned by injuries, Brooks is well-positioned to steadily claim high-leverage touches.
Market sentiment has shifted rapidly, with his roster rate climbing to 92%. After hovering around pick 121 in July, Brooks' ADP spiked into the low-80s during peak preseason hype before settling back near pick 121. At that late draft price, our projections view him as an appealing upside value.
