Fantasy Football Injury Impact: Quinshon Judkins Set To Return, While Dylan Sampson Remains Questionable

The Cleveland Browns will see running back Quinshon Judkins return from his ankle injury this week, after missing only one week of action. Judkins is set to handle a significant workload in their upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans, potentially serving as the team's primary running back. Meanwhile, Dylan Sampson, who appeared set to return, is currently listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup.

While it is expected that he will play, Sampson's status remains uncertain, with the possibility of him being a game-time decision.

This development is expected to have a considerable impact on fantasy football players. With Judkins returning, he is projected to take on a significant share of the workload, possibly acting as the team's main back and even receiving goal-line work. Additionally, Sampson's absence could lead to an increase in passing targets for Judkins, as he would assume more of the role in the passing game. In contrast, if Sampson does return, he would take away some of Judkins' passing-down opportunities.

Dylan Sampson's return is not expected to provide much standalone value to fantasy owners, as he will likely be competing with Judkins for work. It is advised to cut McLaughlin and Audric Estime from fantasy rosters, as Judkins' return makes them less valuable. Jaleel McLaughlin is mentioned as an option for playing a minor role in the passing game if Sampson is out, while Audric Estime is considered largely irrelevant with Judkins back in the lineup.
