Should You Start or Sit Judkins in Week 12?
Volume hasn’t been an issue all season for Quinshon Judkins, but the limitations of his surrounding environment are beginning to pick away at his value.
In Weeks 6-11, he has one top 25 finish at the position. In theory, his workload (17+ carries in three of his past four games) is enough to project him as a top 20 RB when in a good spot like this. I’m sticking with that theory this week, though I am nervous.
Judkins has picked up less than half a yard before contact in three of his past four games, and the loaded box rate is getting out of control (76.5% against the Ravens last weekend). The Raiders aren’t a great defense, but you either run at Maxx Crosby or you run at a high quantity of defenders.
Neither of those situations is great, and the rushing equity drops even further if you assume essentially no respect is being shown to this passing game.
I’d rather have volume and chase touchdowns than have touchdown potential and chase volume (David Montgomery profile). Judkins is a player that you’re starting, even if you’re not overly excited about it.
