Link to storyCleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught five of seven targets for 54 yards in a Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Jeudy didn't put up big numbers with Shedeur Sanders at quarterback, but Sanders gives him a chance to have decent sustained quarterback play next season. He remains on the dynasty radar because of what Sanders showed this season. |

Cleveland Browns RB Raheim Sanders carried eight times for 21 yards in a Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He caught one pass for 10 yards.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson carried 11 times for 27 yards in a Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He caught three passes for zero yards.
Link to storyCleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 17 of 23 passes for 186 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in a Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Sanders numbers aren't impressive in fantasy terms, but he lost Harold Fannin early on and didn't get much help from the running game. He looks like he belongs in the NFL with an approach as a passer that engages defenses with a quick processor and courage. He should be the team's starting quarterback Week 1, but Cleveland will have a top 8 pick and could decide to take a quarterback. |
Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) aggravated his groin injury in the first half of the Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he will not return. He had two receptions for 30 yards and a TD on two targets before departing.
| Footballguys view: Fannin at least gave fantasy teams a 28-yard touchdown on the play that ended his afternoon. He has been one of the biggest breakout players of the 2025 rookie class and Fannin might actually have a quarterback in Shedeur Sanders. Fannin should be one of the top 6-8 tight ends in fantasy drafts next season. He could end up being a rare tight end who is the #1 target in his team's passing game. |
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) scored a touchdown in the first quarter of the Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he aggravated the injury on the play, and he left the game. He is questionable to return.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Njoku has battled this knee injury seemingly all season, missing some games and exiting others early. Harold Fannin has pushed Njoku out of the tier of fantasy-relevant receivers this season. With Njoku out, even more volume should be pushed Fannin's way. |

Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (hand) is questionable for Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: With Quinshon Judkins and Jerome Ford both on IR, Sampson could end up with a significant workload if active. Sampson should be rostered in all fantasy formats. Even if you don't need him in your lineup, it could be advantageous to block your opponent from starting him. |
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) is questionable for Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to Fannin being active this week despite a limited practice on Friday. Assuming he's out there, start him as an elite TE1. Luckily for fantasy managers, the Browns play early on Sunday. If, for whatever reason, Fannin can't go, there will be no shortage of streamers to choose from. Fannin's managers should pick up their favorite ahead of time, just in case. |

Buffalo Bills OL Kendrick Green was signed off the practice squad by the Cleveland Browns Wednesday, Dec. 24.
Link to storyCleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will not play during the 2025 season, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Watson was designated for a return to practice on Dec. 3, which marked the first time he practiced in a limited basis with the Browns since his Achilles tear in the 2024 Week 7 loss to the Bengals. By being kept on PUP, Watson can no longer practice, but he can be part of meetings, while continuing to rehab his injury. The Browns will keep Watson on the roster for the 2026 season. He's still worth $131,163,378 in cap hits spread out between 2026 -- when the contract expires -- and extra years created by restructuring late in 2024. |

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) was placed on injured reserve following successful surgery on his fractured fibula and dislocated ankle.
| Footballguys view: The Browns announced that Judkins' surgery went well on Tuesday and that he's expected to make a full recovery. Judkins is expected to be able to resume football activities at some point in the next 4-6 months. Judkins was a second-round pick in April, but he did not sign with the Browns until September because the team waited for a misdemeanor battery charge to be resolved, so he didn't make his debut in Week 2. Judkins finished the year with 230 carries for 827 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 appearances before his injury. We'll monitor his rehab over the offseason. |
Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) suffered a broken fibula and dislocated ankle during the Week 16 game but does not have any damage in his knee, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: While this is good news, Judkins' injury was still severe enough to require a four-to-five-month recovery after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula, a league source told Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot. That could put him back on the practice field, at least on a limited basis, sometime during the offseason program in the spring. |
Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins should be back on the practice field in about 4-5 months after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula, a league source told Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot.
| Footballguys view: That could put him back on the practice field, at least on a limited basis, sometime during the offseason program in the spring. Judkins, the Browns' No. 36 pick in the second round out of Ohio State, suffered the injury with 1:47 left in the half of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills on a hit by linebacker Matt Milano. Raheim Sanders replaced Judkins and could get a lot of work against the Steelers this week, although Dylan Sampson, who's missed two games with a hand injury, is also worth monitoring. |
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman ended up with a single 8-yard reception on a lone target in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. posted four receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 16 against Buffalo Bills, while he also had a 1-yard touchdown run.
| Footballguys view: Fannin wasn't a prolific receiver, but he did score and also added a one-yard touchdown on a plunge for the goal line as a fullback. He was one of biggest hits of Week 16 at tight end in fantasy leagues, and he should be in a fantasy championship lineups against the Steelers next week. |
Cleveland Browns RB Trayveon Williams rushed three times for 17 yards in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, while adding four receptions and a team-high 38 yards on four targets.

Cleveland Browns WR Malachi Corley had two receptions for 11 yards on four targets in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, while adding three runs for 30 yards.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Raheim Sanders rushed 11 times for 42 yards in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, while adding a 4-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: Sanders got some red zone touches and almost scored after Quinshon Judkins went down with a dislocated ankle and broken fibula, but Harold Fannin scored from one yard out as a fullback instead of Sanders getting the call. Chances are no one in their fantasy championship will need to go far enough down in the rankings to use Sanders, but he'll get a chance to show his stuff for the Browns, who might not have Judkins for Week 1 next season. Sanders is worth an add in deep dynasty leagues. |
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 20-of-29 passes for 157 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, and he rushed four times for a team-high 49 yards. He also left the game briefly due to a bloodied pinkie finger on his hand, but he was able to return and finish up.
| Footballguys view: Sanders, who was sidelined briefly with a cut on his right pinky finger, was surprisingly spry as a scrambler and he was an efficient passer. One of his interceptions was off of a Quinshon Judkins drop and another was deflected at the line, so he wasn't as bad as his TD-INT ratio indicates. Sanders has done enough to deserve a chance to start for the Browns in Week 1 next season, but the team will be drafting early in the first round, so their quarterback decision in the offseason will be heavily analyzed. Sanders will have a tough matchup against the Steelers next week and is only a desperation play in 2QB/Superflex leagues. |
Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett had just one total stop and one quarterback hit in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, and he was credited with a half-sack, as he inches closer to the NFL record. He has 22 sacks through 15 games, and he still has two more games to record a half-sack to tie the NFL record, and one full sack to break it.

Cleveland Browns LB Carson Schwesinger registered a game-high 14 combined stops with five solo tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.
Link to storyHead coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Judkins suffered a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula late in the first half of the contest. The injury will require surgery.
| Footballguys view: Judkins was selected at No. 36 overall in this year's draft. He entered the weekend having rushed for 805 yards with seven touchdowns in 13 games. He'd also caught 21 passes for 142 yards. His Sunday afternoon ended with him having rushed for 22 yards on eight carries. He caught five passes for 29 yards. Raheim Sanders replaced Judkins and could get a lot of work against the Steelers next week. |
Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (leg) will not return to the Week 16 game because of a leg injury he suffered.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) was carted off the field after suffering a leg injury during the Week 16 game.
| Footballguys view: Judkins was pounding the field and appeared to be in great pain after the injury. The early report is a broken fibula and dislocated ankle. It's not yet known if it could affect Judkins' availability for the beginning of next season, but we shouldn't assume that he'll be ready for Week 1. 2025 UDFA Raheim Sanders replaced Judkins on early downs and could get a lot of work against the Steelers next week. |
The Cleveland Browns have declared TE David Njoku, LB Sam Kamara, CB Denzel Ward, WR Jamari Thrash, DT Michael Hall Jr., RB Dylan Sampson and OG Wyatt Teller inactive for Week 16.

A decision regarding whether Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list will be made next week, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: It seems like this will be much ado about nothing. With nothing to play for, there's no need for the Browns to throw Watson out there for a few meaningless games. Instead, they should keep him shut down and then get ready for a quarterback competition in 2026. Watson has a cap hit of $80.7 million with $131 million left in dead money. He's unlikely to be anywhere but Cleveland next season, and perhaps Shedeur Sanders will compete with Watson for the starting job. |

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. has been targeted 30 times over the past three games, and his 99 targets this season rank second among tight ends.
| Footballguys view: Fannin is a favorite target of Shedeur Sanders. He's a weapon in the passing game, and Fannin can pick up yards after the catch. Fannin is difficult for linebackers to matchup with, and that's why he's been so heavily targeted as a rookie. |
Cleveland Browns DT Michael Hall Jr. (illness) was added to the injury report due to an illness Saturday, Dec. 20. He is considered questionable for Week 16's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Link to storyThe Cleveland Browns placed OT Jack Conklin (concussion) on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 20, and signed S Chris Edmonds from the practice squad to the active roster. The team also promoted DT Keith Cooper Jr. and DT Maurice Hurst II from the practice squad.
