Browns Beat: RB Quinshon Judkins will be back soon

Sep 01, 2025

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com believes Quinshon Judkins will return to the team soon.

"I believe Judkins will be back with the Browns soon, possibly even sometime this week as they prepare for the Bengals."

Fantasy Impact:

Judkins, of course, was dealing with domestic violence and battery charges that were eventually dropped, but the NFL is still weighing potential punishment. Kabot even said if he makes it back early enough, he could contribute some in the opener. It's hard to imagine Judkins would get a heavy workload, but his return for fantasy is at least good news for owners who took a chance on him. It does muddy the waters with Sampson and Ford also in the picture in the backfield, but given Judkins draft capital, one would think he'd be poised to lead the way in the backfield once he's up to speed.

Matthew Stafford is expected to start against the Texans, Sean McVay said.

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for Stafford and his fantasy owners. Hopefully his back issues are a thing of the past but it will be worth watching once Stafford starts to take a few hits. We already know it was reported his back will need to be managed this season.

Chargers RB Najee Harris (eye) could play Week 1

There is some positive news on the injury front for Chargers running back Najee Harris.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters in his Monday press conference that Harris has been cleared for contact and there’s a “possibility” he plays against the Chiefs on Friday night.

“He’s looked really good in practice,” Harbaugh said.

Fantasy Impact:

Harris, who signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles this offseason, has been sidelined by an eye injury suffered in early July. He had returned to practice, but hadn’t been doing any drills with contact, the story said. Even if Harris is good to go for Week 1, he may not have a safe enough workload for fantasy lineups. Hopefully we'll learn more by Wednesday's first injury report, but Hampton is looking like a safer option either way.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (calf) returns to practice

Monday brought a positive development for the 49ers’ receiving corps.

Reporters at the open portion of practice shared photos and videos of Jauan Jennings taking part in the session. The wideout has been sidelined by a calf injury for an extended period of time, but the word in the last week or so has been that the team expects him to play against the Seahawks this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Monday’s workout is a good sign that things are moving in that direction, although the team won’t issue their first official injury report of the season until after Wednesday’s practice is in the books, the story said. Jennings, of course, also wants a new contract and there is no word if things have changed on that front.
