Summer is often seen as a chance to decompress from fantasy football. The draft hype season has come and gone. Dynasty managers are working through trades, though have their rookie drafts behind them. Redraft managers are on cruise control until August.
Devy managers have no such luxury. With the constant churn of the transfer portal and unsettled depth charts, you need to keep your head on a swivel if you have any chance of keeping up with the ever-changing landscape. Fortunately, DLF has you covered with its devy content. We look at some of the game’s brightest stars here.
10. Quinshon Judkins, RB Ole Miss (2025 Draft-Eligible)
Profile: It is difficult to script a better freshman season than the one Judkins put together in 2022. Despite sharing a backfield with the gifted Zach Evans, Judkins proved too good for Lane Kiffin to keep off the field. He piled up 1,567 rushing yards and added 15 receptions for 132 yards as a bonus.
Judkins eschewed any notions true freshmen need an adjustment period. He led the SEC in carries and rushing yards, racking up double-digit touches in every contest and starring from day one. At 5’11” and 210 pounds per the Ole Miss website, he appears to have been sculpted in a running back lab. His confident style allows him to slash through the line of scrimmage and he has the footspeed to outrace defenders into the open field. It is hard to fathom a stronger first impression than what we saw from the Alabama product. Judkins has ideal size, ample athleticism, and the mentality required to carry a heavy workload. He is an elite prospect.
2023 Outlook: What can Judkins do for an encore? He was sensational in 2022 and no longer must worry about Zach Evans. He is a Heisman dark horse whose march to the top of the 2025 draft could only be derailed by injury.
