Quinshon Judkins Start or sit, Week 5

This week's outlook

Judkins is healthy but has yet to crack 40 rush yards in either game, with modest work in the passing game keeping his floor intact. At $5700, he needs a bigger workload or a short-yardage/goal-line role against the Jets to justify the price. Watch for increased carries as a sign his role is expanding before trusting him as a confident starter.
