Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman posted two receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Link to storyCleveland Browns TE David Njoku posted four receptions for 40 yards on five targets in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Footballguys view: Njoku has been mediocre for fantasy for two straight weeks when his starting quarterback threw the ball 45 times. He's not a fantasy TE1 against the Packers next week and might not be worth as much as the Browns other receiving tight end, third round pick Harold Fannin Jr. |

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. posted five receptions for 48 yards on five targets in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Footballguys view: Fannin had another solid fantasy game, as Joe Flacco threw 45 times for the second straight week. Next week, the Browns will face a Packers defense that has looked elite through two weeks against much better quarterbacks than Flacco, so the rookie tight end might not be a good start for fantasy. |
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy posted four receptions for a team-best 51 yards on eight targets in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson rushed four times for just six yards in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, while adding three receptions for 13 yards and his first NFL touchdown on three targets.
Link to storyCleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond had one run for nine yards in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, while adding a 6-yard reception on three targets.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford ran six times for 30 yards in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, while adding five receptions for 23 yards on six targets.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins ran 10 times for a game-high 61 yards in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, and he added three receptions for 10 yards on his three targets.
Footballguys view: Judkins biggest run came when the game was already decided. The Browns will give him as many chances as they can to get going, but over the next three weeks against the Packers, Lions, and Vikings, he's a what-the-heck flex at best. |
Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel completed 3-of-3 passes for 20 yards, his first NFL touchdown and no interceptions in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens in mop-up duty.
Link to storyCleveland Browns QB Joe Flacco completed 25-of-45 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, and he ran once for eight yards.
Footballguys view: Flacco's numbers took a hit from his Week 1 output vs. Cincinnati, and a good amount of it came when the game was out of hand. Dillon Gabriel replaced him in the fourth quarter. With Green Bay, Minnesota, and Detroit up the next three weeks, it's fair to wonder if Gabriel would start if the Browns fall to 0-5. |

The Cleveland Browns have declared OT Jack Conklin, QB Shedeur Sanders, DT Michael Hall Jr., OG Zak Zinter and RB Raheim Sanders inactive for Week 2.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) is officially active for the Week 2 game.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins will have his snap count monitored when he makes his NFL debut in Week 2, but the team hopes Judkins eventually becomes the starter.
Link to storyCleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman had a total of 24 receptions on 40 targets for 302 yards and three touchdowns over his final four full games in 2024.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Gage Larvadain (Browns) likely will be a candidate for the Cleveland Browns practice squad if he clears waivers.
Link to storyCleveland Browns WR Gage Larvadain was waived Saturday, Sept. 13.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2's game versus the Baltimore Ravens, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys view: Fellow rookie RB Dylan Sampson is still going to have at least a 'what the heck' flex worthy role as a receiver out of the backfield. We'll see if the Browns ease Judkins, a powerful runner who gets stronger as the game goes on, into action in his debut. We're taking a wait-and-see approach with Judkins this week against the Ravens. |
Cleveland Browns DT Michael Hall Jr. (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 12, and has been ruled out for Week 2. OT Jack Conklin (eye, elbow) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) fully participated in practice but is listed as questionable. OG Joel Bitonio (non-injury), OT Dawand Jones (knee) and CB Denzel Ward (Achilles, shoulder) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 12, but is listed as questionable for Week 2.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Footballguys view: Even if Judkins is active, he won't play a large role, and the Browns have a tough matchup against the Ravens. There is some possibility of a suspension as the league hasn't wound up their investigation of the domestic violence incident that froze the contract negotiation process between Judkins camp and the Browns. Hold onto Judkins as long as bench size allows, but don't expect much if anything this weekend. |
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 11.
Footballguys view: Judkins could play in Week 2 against the Ravens. Thursday was his first practice with the team in over a month. Judkins is a two-down banger who can help the Browns offense. Dylan Sampson is still likely to get work as a pass-catching back for the Browns if/when Judkins gets on the field. |
Cleveland Browns OT Jack Conklin (eye, elbow), DT Michael Hall Jr. (knee), OT Dawand Jones (knee) and CB Denzel Ward (Achilles, shoulder) were limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 11. OG Joel Bitonio (non-injury) and RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) fully participated in practice.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins is progressing towards playing on Sunday, according to a report by ESPN.com's Daniel Oyefusi. 'We'll take it day to day to see how he continues to progress in practice. It takes some extra work to make sure that we catch him up after a Wednesday practice, but Thursdays and Fridays are really pivotal days throughout the week,' Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees said.
Footballguys view: Judkins has missed training camp and hasn't practiced with the team since his arrest in July. The Browns could have him out there against the Ravens in Week 2, but his workload should be limited. Even if Judkins plays, fellow rookie RB Dylan Sampson should be involved enough to be a 'what the heck' flex. |
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 10. OG Joel Bitonio (non-injury), OT Jack Conklin (eye, elbow), DT Michael Hall Jr. (knee), OT Dawand Jones (knee) and CB Denzel Ward (Achilles, shoulder) were limited during practice.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 10.
Footballguys view: Judkins is expected to practice the rest of the week as he's meeting with league officials. The Browns have fellow rookie RB Dylan Sampson who led the team in carries last week and had a good day as a receiver out of the backfield. If Judkins doesn't play in Week 2, Sampson has flex appeal with his role. |
According to Fred Greetham of The Orange and Brown Report, RB Quinshon Judkins is expected to practice for the first time on Wednesday.
Footballguys view: The Browns and Judkins finally reached an agreement on a four-year deal last weekend. Profootballtalk.com reported the NFL will interview Judkins this week in connection with the pending Personal Conduct Policy investigation. But while the case is pending, Judkins is not expected to be placed on paid leave. Instead, he'll be available to practice and to play until the case is resolved. We'll continue to watch this one closely, but Judkins could be available to play against the Ravens in Week 2. |
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. had an impressive performance during the Week 1 game, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, the rookie hauled in seven of his nine targets for 63 yards, while even adding a three-yard rush, good for 13.6 points in PPR formats. At that pace, he would clear 1,000 receiving yards in his first NFL season. Fannin, along with Tyler Warren of the Indianapolis Colts, are the first rookie tight ends to produce at least seven receptions in their respective NFL debuts since 1987. David Njoku is the TE1 in Cleveland, but Fannin's potential upside makes him an intriguing waiver-wire candidate. |
The Browns finally signed second-round pick Quinshon Judkins this weekend, and the plan for the running back to make his debut in the regular season came up in head coach Kevin Stefanski's media session on Monday. Stefanski was asked how likely it is that Judkins will play against the Ravens in Week 2. "We'll see," Stefanski said. "Gotta get through this week of practice. I don't know."
Footballguys view: Judkins' signing was delayed after he was arrested this summer, but prosecutors have since dropped the domestic violence charge, and Judkins agreed to terms with the Browns on Saturday. The NFL is also set to meet with Judkins as part of its investigation into his arrest. Any league discipline could impact the Browns' plans for getting Judkins his first game action. We'll be watching for more. |
Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett recorded four tackles for loss - including two sacks - among his five total stops in Week 1 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cleveland Browns RB Raheim Sanders carried three times for three yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Link to storyCleveland Browns TE David Njoku caught three passes for 37 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He was targeted six times during the game.
Footballguys view: Njoku put up big numbers with Joe Flacco in Cleveland two years ago, so this was a big letdown in a game where Flacco threw for almost 300 yards. Rookie Harold Fannin Jr. is getting the bulk of the designed tight end targets because of his ability after the catch. Njoku isn't a clear fantasy TE1 heading into a tough matchup against Baltimore. |
David Njoku player page
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman caught five passes for 52 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He was targeted eight times during the game.
Footballguys view: Tillman had a costly drop that ended the Browns chances to win. This is one of the easiest matchups of the year for him, so Tillman probably isn't a waiver wire pickup except in deep leagues. |
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught seven passes for 63 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He was targeted nine times during the game.
Footballguys view: The Browns have been excited about Fannin since they took him in the third round of April's draft, and nothing this summer dispelled the notion that they would feature him as a rookie. Fannin was set up for run after catch opportunities a la Jonnu Smith. He's worth a pickup if you need a tight end. If Fannin has another strong result next week against the Ravens, then he's probably here to stay. |
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught five passes for 66 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He was targeted eight times during the game.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford rushed for eight yards on six carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson rushed for 29 yards on 12 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He also caught all eight of his targets in the passing game for 64 yards.
Footballguys view: Sampson outplayed veteran Jerome Ford, but his outlook for next week is clouded by the potential return of Quinshon Judkins after the second round pick signed his rookie deal yesterday. The Browns offense is also still low wattage, but the Bengals defense is even worse. Sampson will be an add in many leagues, but he is only a what-the-heck flex against the Ravens next week if Judkins is active. |
Cleveland Browns QB Joe Flacco went 31-for-45 for 290 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.
Footballguys view: Flacco was serviceable, and he doesn't have the most stellar group of wide receivers, but the Bengals are the worst defense he'll face this year. He's only a pickup in very deep leagues, but he can support the value of multiple pass catchers in this offense while the running game is stuck in neutral. |

Cleveland Browns OT Jack Conklin (head) left the Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a suspected head injury. He went to the blue medical tent, and headed to the locked room with medical staff. OT Cornelius Lucas replaced him.

Link to storyThe Cleveland Browns have declared WR Gage Larvadain, OT KT Leveston, QB Shedeur Sanders, DT Michael Hall Jr. and OG Zak Zinter inactive for Week 1.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins is scheduled to meet with the National Football League during the upcoming week regarding its investigation into his domestic violence incident. However, he is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2 versus the Baltimore Ravens, according to a source.
Footballguys view: The Browns running game has fizzled against a vulnerable Bengals defense, so as long as Judkins is active, he should get a big opportunity against the Ravens in Week 2. |
The Cleveland Browns are expected to receive a temporary roster exemption from the National Football League for RB Quinshon Judkins, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Footballguys view: This is considered to be a standard procedure for players who missed camp and would allow Judkins to practice with the Browns while getting acclimated to the organization. The exemption is unrelated to the league's ongoing investigation into a domestic violence incident involving Judkins, which could result in NFL disciplinary action even though all formal charges have been dropped. |
The Cleveland Browns signed RB Quinshon Judkins to a fully guaranteed contract Saturday, Sept. 6, according to multiple sources.
