Quinshon Judkins is activated for Sunday's clash with Baltimore, with no injury designation. The Browns signed the former Buckeye to a rookie deal on Sept. 6 after selecting him 36th overall in 2025, and Cleveland waived Gage Larvadain to clear space. Judkins will wear number 10 as they travel to M&T Bank Stadium for a 1 p.m. kickoff.

Expect a measured rookie introduction in a tough matchup. If Judkins shows explosiveness, he could claim a modest early role with 6–10 touches and a few return opportunities, potentially paving the way for a larger leash in coming weeks depending on game flow and efficiency.

Week 2 fantasy decisions hinge on three receivers from New England and Buffalo. Boutte, nursing a shoulder, flashed big Week 1 numbers (103 yards on 6 catches) and logged Patriots’ top snap share, making him a tempting flex in shallower lineups but risk remains until health confirms. Diggs is trending toward fuller involvement as his knee heals, though Week 1 saw limited snaps. Shakir cemented a solid role in Buffalo as the slot, with 9 targets and a strong target-rate even when Bills spread the targets. Jets loom as a tough test for Shakir, while Baltimore offered a real-life test for the Bills. The Who Should I Start tool remains a useful resource for swapping in and out these WRs based on format and matchup.

In short, Boutte is a viable Week 2 flex if you’re shallow and need upside, Diggs is a buy-low corridor with risk baked in, and Shakir offers a helpful floor in deeper formats. The Week 2 script will be driven by health, game flow, and pass volume, and your lineup should reflect the likelihood of target redistribution as these players settle into their roles.

Key upshots: Boutte could lead as Patriots’ WR1 if aligned with Maye and healthy; Diggs’ eventual ramp should restore his target share; Shakir’s consistent slot role provides a reliable floor in larger leagues. Consider your bench depth and scoring format when deciding who to start.

Baltimore elevates Zaire Mitchell-Paden to the active roster for Week 2 against Cleveland, adding depth at tight end behind Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar while Isaiah Likely is out. The move reinforces the Ravens’ reliance on blocking and special-teams versatility from their tight ends.

Mitchell-Paden, undrafted from Florida Atlantic, spent 2024 on Baltimore’s practice squad after a brief stint with Cleveland. He logged 11 preseason yards on one catch and delivered a key block on Derrick Henry’s 30-yard opener TD, underscoring his potential as a size-speed blocker and depth option in a run-first offense.

Fantasy takeaway: limited immediate upside unless injuries strike, but the transaction preserves flexibility in Baltimore’s TE usage and special-teams role, a quiet reminder to monitor depth charts week-to-week.
