Up until now the most trusted reporting on Judkins that was getting circulated the most was Tony Grossi's speculation that QJ's delay in signing was caused by the NFL and NFLPA being in active negotiation over his suspension length and that ultimately QJ would receive a 2-4 game punishment...

MKC is reporting Judkins won't play this week (obviously) and that the Browns will seek a 2 week roster exemption for him. She says he'll play as soon as he's ready

Rumors about Judkins signing this week were started when Mary Kay Cabbot said she expected a signing soon and her comments got picked up by a ton of aggregators. Today she clarified that everyone from the team has been completely mum, that she knows almost nothing concrete, and that her past...

This is exactly right. Unlike a lot of the junk analytics floating around, I think relative yards per carry is interesting and it does help address some of the context issues with straight yard per carry. But there are blind spots and traps one can fall into if you pass this off as a "pure"...

In dynasty I'd have him around RB 15ish. In redraft there is a ton of guesswork involved and I don't pretend to have a better crystal ball than everyone else.

In a normal offseason where Judkins is with the team all summer and receives normal rookie development I’d guess Sampson and Ford would be mostly afterthoughts. Judkins needs the most development in the passing game so he was always likely to lose snaps there but long term I don’t think he’s...

Mary Kay Cabot is a legitimate Browns insider with strong embedded relationships and a direct line to the very top of the organization. This can be good and bad as sometimes she seems to function as a mouthpiece for team interests. She is far from perfect as a source but her level of access to...

You posted some data that looked dubious and all I did was say that the data looked dubious and why. I’m attacking the data but trust me I’m not attacking you. All of us post here to bring each other up and win more money playing fantasy. To me, a productive and valuable response to move the...

So often these kinds of advanced analytics are dropped on the FF community like oracles of pure truth and so often they are garbage. I would advise all to be skeptical of any such study unless you fully understand the data and have full trust in its author. My livelihood is in charting complex...

I don't take any offense, we're all just speculating about imaginary football on here :) Maybe the situation is clear for you but certainly I'm not the only person who finds it hard to fully understand. I just saw an interview with Mary Kay Cabot who is often in the know and she described the...

It's kind of refreshing to abandon the contractual stuff for a moment and return to discussing Judkins as a prospect. But can you elaborate on these "terrible underlying stats" Judkins has? This is news to me. There is nothing I've seen in his tape or attributes or statistical profile that I'd...

Some folks in this thread have defended the Browns and pointed out that Cleveland has been one of the more financially aggressive, freely spending teams and I think these comments are accurate. But there is weirdness and feet dragging around the Judkins contract that cannot be explained by only...

You are right to point out that Cleveland has not been one of the truly "cheap" teams in recent history, this is absolutely true. I think the reason some of us are speculating that contract terms and negotiations are fueling the delay is that other explanations don't really make sense. The...

I tend to agree with most of KellysHeroes takes here. The extra complicating factor is that Houston made the unpopular decision to fully guarantee Jayden Higgins second round deal and it created a precedent some of the more penny pinching teams are fighting against. Judkins wants to follow the...

Much respect amigo. Almost always when someone has a strong take and it doesn't work out they slink away never to be heard from again. Everybody has misses. I respect anyone who acknowledges a mistake, learns, and moves forward. As someone who came into this thread (or maybe the Badie one?)...
