Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson rushed 10 times for 32 yards in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while adding two receptions for 12 yards on three targets.
Link to storyCleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 11-of-22 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while running three times for 26 yards with one lost fumble.
| Footballguys view: The Browns scored two defensive touchdowns in the first quarter and Sanders added two second half field goal drives, including one that ended with the game-winning field goal from Andre Szmyt. Sanders played the best this season of any of the quarterbacks on the roster, but Deshaun Watson didn't play this season. Cleveland could make a move at quarterback in the first round of the draft or free agency. The Browns go into the offseason with more questions than answers on offense. |
Cleveland Browns CB Sam Webb finished with four total stops, two solo tackles and a fumble recovery for a 47-yard touchdown in the Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Link to storyCleveland Browns LB Devin Bush posted game highs with 14 total stops and six solo tackles with a pass defensed and a 97-yard interception return for touchdown in the Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett had a solo tackle, a sack, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in Week 18 against the Cincinnati. He reached 23 sacks to set a new NFL single-season mark, breaking the record held by former New York Giants DE Michael Strahan and current Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt.
| Footballguys view: We throw around the term generational talent too often, but Garrett has ended up being exactly that. The Browns are at an eternal crossroads when it comes to their quarterback situation, but Garrett and the defense are good enough to make them a winner if they can just become a middle of the road offense. We'll be watching to see what they do in response to finishing 31st in scoring, after finishing 32nd in 2024. |

Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (hand) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 2, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
| Footballguys view: Sampson should operate as the team's top running back with both Quinshon Judkins and Jerome Ford on IR. Expect a dose of Raheim Sanders, but Sampson is the guy to start in fantasy this week. He's a back-end RB2. |

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.
