Ashton Jeanty vs Quinshon Judkins: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Ashton Jeanty and Quinshon Judkins is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Las Vegas Raiders running back put up 12.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Quinshon Judkins of the Cleveland Browns averaged 10.5 in 15. A 2.3-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.3 points favors Ashton Jeanty, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Ashton Jeanty is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 55 targets into 346 yards, while Quinshon Judkins profiles as a more traditional rusher with 827 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Ashton Jeanty carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
Both share a Week 10 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
