Browns optimistic Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson can play Sunday

Oct 21, 2026

Browns coach Todd Monken said he is optimistic RBs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson will be able to play on Sunday against the Titans.

Related Players: Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime, Deshaun Watson

Fantasy Impact:

Judkins would return to RB2 consideration if cleared for his usual workload. Sampson is worth holding in an IR slot, but his activation and role need confirmation before managers consider starting him. Getting both backs back would make McLaughlin and Estime difficult to use outside incredibly deep leagues.

Lamar Jackson absent from Wednesday practice

Tyler Huntley and Joe Fagnano are the only Ravens quarterbacks out here for the start of practice.

Lamar Jackson (ankle) hasn’t practiced since Oct. 4.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson managers should retain a replacement until his availability is confirmed. Huntley would be a superflex QB2 if Jackson misses another game. Flowers remains a WR2 option with either quarterback, although Jackson’s return would improve his ceiling.

Giants plan to start J.J. McCarthy against Houston

Source: The Giants plan to start J.J. McCarthy on Sunday vs. Houston.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy becomes a starting option for managers short on quarterbacks in superflex leagues, but the Houston matchup makes him difficult to trust in one-quarterback formats. Nabers remains a WR2 with upside, while Likely belongs in TE1 lineups.

Baker Mayfield must demonstrate throwing ability before Week 7 return

Mike Garafolo reports Baker Mayfield must show Tampa Bay he can grip and throw the football as he attempts to return from his thumb injury. The issue is functionality rather than pain tolerance. Garafolo said the Buccaneers were still expecting Jalon Daniels to start as recently as Monday; Mayfield’s availability against Carolina remains unsettled.

Fantasy Impact:

Keep Daniels available in superflex leagues until Tampa Bay confirms its starter. If Mayfield remains out, Daniels’ rushing gives him QB2 appeal, while Egbuka is a WR3 and Godwin a more volatile PPR FLEX. Otton remains a TE2 option. A healthy Mayfield return would improve the passing game’s outlook, but managers should wait for confirmation that he can throw effectively before counting on that upgrade.
