The Browns‘ offense is not loaded with the most promising fantasy assets. The unit is young and still developing, but the quarterback play holds most of it back to an extent.
During the 2026 season here on Browns Wire, we will review all fantasy-relevant skill players for the team and share whether they are worth a start.

Each position has players that can help or hurt your fantasy team, so this will be a form of start or sit. In this piece, we will be looking at whether Quinshon Judkins is worth starting in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers.
He has started the year playing like one of the worst running backs in the NFL from a production standpoint. However, he remains optimistic things will turn around, but should fantasy players trust that to happen in Week 3?
Judkins started the 2025 season averaging 4 yards per carry in the team’s first eight games. In his final six games, he averaged just 2.95 yards per carry and is now averaging just 2.3. And looking at the Panthers’ defense, they are giving up a whopping 6.3 yards per game.
If there is a week for Judkins and the Browns to find success running the ball, it will be in Week 3. Give Judkins a spot in your lineup as a flex but understand there is incredible risk that comes with it.
