Fantasy Football: Start or Sit Decisions Become Crucial

Quinshon Judkins: A Rising Star in Cleveland

In his second NFL game, Quinshon Judkins has already made significant strides in the Cleveland backfield. Last week, he dominated snaps with 58% of the playtime, handling 18 out of 19 running back carries and achieving 95 total yards. His stats place him as the RB11 for the week, highlighting his impact on the game’s outcome.

  • Ninth in explosive run rate
  • Eleventh in missed tackles forced per attempt
  • Sixth in yards after contact per attempt

Judkins might anticipate 16-20 touches in the upcoming game. However, he faces stiff competition against Detroit, known for its ninth-best stuff rate and defensive strengths.

Geno Smith’s Potential Against Chicago

Quarterback Geno Smith, currently ranked QB15 in fantasy points per game, leans heavily on passing volume despite average performance metrics. Smith is noted for his eighth-highest in passing attempts and fourth in passing yards per game.

Challenges remain for Smith:

  • 23rd in highly accurate throw rate
  • 31st in catchable target rate
  • Third-highest off-target rate

However, this week presents an opportunity as Smith faces Chicago’s weak secondary, which ranks poorly in various defensive statistics.

Juwan Johnson: A Tight End to Watch

Juwan Johnson has emerged as an unexpected asset this season. As the TE2 in fantasy points per game, Johnson impresses with consistent performance, ranking high in several metrics.

  • Second in red zone targets (three)
  • Second in both targets and receptions
  • Fifth in receiving yards among tight ends

Despite his achievements, Johnson faces the formidable Buffalo defense, renowned for limiting tight end performance, posing a challenge in this week’s matchup.
