Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice

The Browns thought they had a running back who would be there and productive for years to come in Nick Chubb, but after a brutal injury in 2023, it was clear he wasn’t the same. Now, the Browns take a bruising 221-pound running back who also ran 4.48 in the 40-yard dash. He’s not used much as a receiver, but he should see plenty of touches right out of the gate. His value may be somewhat limited in PPR leagues due to that lack of receiving upside (22 catches in 2024 with Ohio State), but he’s still worthy of a mid-first-round dynasty rookie draft selection. He should have RB2 upside in redraft with the volume I expect him to see.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp

Scouting Report:

Quinshon Judkins has a compact build and can utilize his upper body strength to shed incoming tacklers. It’s not difficult for him to get loose from a lazy wrap. He has a nasty stiff arm that he’ll deploy.
Judkins is a one-speed runner. He gets up to top speed quickly, but his raw speed isn’t eye-popping. He will be able to rattle off chunk plays in the NFL, but I doubt he will hit many home runs. Judkins ranked 41st or lower in breakaway rate in his final two seasons in college.
With many runs, Judkins gets what is blocked, but not a ton more. He’s a linear runner who needs to rely on his offensive line to clear the way more than some other backs in this class. Judkins does keep his legs moving through contact, which helps him fall forward and finish runs well at times.
Judkins is passable as a pass protector. He has no issues sticking his nose in there and getting dirty with an incoming defender. However, Judkins will drop his eyes occasionally and lunge at incoming rushers, which he’ll have to stop in the NFL.
Judkins is a dump-off option only in the passing game. Most of his passing game action was as a check-down option or on swing passes.
