While TE Harold Fannin Jr. has only increased his production as the season has gone on, RB Quinshon Judkins has been the victim of bad offensive line play and the lack of concern defenses have for the Browns passing attack. His raw numbers (805 yards, 7 TDs) are good for a rookie, but his yards per attempt average is down to 3.6 and his game logs show a problematic trend:
The three weeks skipped in those game logs combine for 70 carries and 250 yards, still a 3.5 yards per carry average.
The advanced data is even more staggering:
One of the best parts of football is how 11 guys work together and impact each other. It is also why evaluating individual players sometimes is really difficult and nuanced. Is Judkins on track to be the next Nick Chubb? Maybe, but the play of those around him on offense makes it very difficult to know for sure.
Are you surprised by the numbers above? How do you evaluate Judkins’ performances given the struggles around him?
