Cleveland’s backfield picture remains murky after the quick resolve of a legal issue surrounding Judkins, which muddies the path for the rookie to claim a full-time role. Dylan Samson has seized the PPR work early in camp, leaving Judkins as the longer-term ceiling play if he can climb back into the two-down mix. Jerome Ford’s health and availability add another layer, as the team weighs a true three-way committee with Ford, Samson and Judkins. The NFL angle is uncertain, but the rapid dismissal of charges keeps the Browns in a “watch and wait” mode as August ramps up. ADP moves reflect the uncertainty, with Samson moving higher while Judkins could rebound as the narrative evolves. Fantasy managers should prepare for a split workload rather than a decisive starter, and stash options for late-season leverage if the committee tilts or injuries strike.
