Mason Graham, Quinshon Judkins Appear on Track to Return Week 7

Cleveland could get two key contributors back for Week 7, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Head coach Todd Monken told reporters Wednesday that he's optimistic running back Quinshon Judkins will play against Tennessee, and that defensive tackle Mason Graham also appears on track to return. The full injury report was still pending as of the report's publication.

Quinshon Judkins

Judkins missed last week's win over the Ravens with an ankle injury, but Monken's optimism makes him a must-start if he's active Sunday. Per the source story, Judkins leads the Browns with 221 rushing yards on 73 carries, one rushing touchdown, and 18 catches for 102 yards — he's the clear bell cow when healthy. Don't bench him on a hope-and-a-prayer; watch for his official practice designation later Wednesday before setting your lineup. If he's ruled out, his handcuff (whoever Cleveland's backup is) immediately becomes a top waiver wire priority — but the source story doesn't name a backup, so don't make that move until the injury report drops.

Mason Graham

Graham is an IDP (individual defensive player) asset, not a fantasy factor in standard leagues — but his return matters if you roster him. He leads the Browns with 4.0 sacks, six tackles for loss, and five quarterback hits despite missing the last two games, per the source story. Monken's quote makes clear Graham was eager to play last week and was held back out of caution with knee and ankle injuries. A full injury report later Wednesday will tell you whether to plug him back in.
