Fantasy Football Week 8 RB start/sit: Quinshon Judkins looks to stay hot vs. Steelers
CBS Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Quinshon Judkins had a standout performance in Week 7 with 96 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and 23.4 PPR points, making him a strong No. 2 Fantasy running back option for Week 8 against the Steelers.
- Judkins has consistently received high usage, with at least 17 touches in five consecutive games, and the Steelers' defense has allowed running backs to score double-digit PPR points in most games this season.
- Josh Jacobs is eligible to return in Week 7 after missing six games, but may have a limited workload; if he plays, he remains Green Bay's top running back, while MarShawn Lloyd has underperformed in his absence.
- If Jacobs does not play, Pierre Strong Jr. is a viable flex option due to his recent involvement in the passing game and potential to contribute even if sharing carries with Jacobs.
- The Lions rank eighth in limiting running back fantasy points, but past performances by backs like Travis Etienne and James Cook suggest Jacobs could still produce well with sufficient touches.
