Quinshon Judkins: Browns optimistic on ankle for Sunday

THE FACT. Browns head coach Todd Monken said Wednesday he is optimistic Quinshon Judkins will be available Sunday against the Titans, per NBC Sports. RotoWire reported the same day that Judkins was not listed among expected non-participants on Cleveland's pre-practice report, pointing to at least limited work, after he sat the first two Week 6 practices and was inactive for the win over Baltimore.

THE VERDICT. Redraft: hold him and plan to start, because a head coach volunteering optimism on Wednesday usually ends in a questionable tag at worst. Watch Thursday and Friday participation before you lock him in. DFS: wait for the Friday report rather than paying up off a Wednesday quote. Dynasty: nothing changes, this is a short-term ankle issue.
