Browns | Pair of TDs for Harold Fannin Jr. in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 05:11 PM
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. |
Browns | Trayveon Williams good for seven touches Sun Dec 21, 05:08 PM
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.

Browns | Five total touches for Malachi Corley Sun Dec 21, 05:06 PM
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 story Browns | Raheim Sanders sees extra run in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 05:01 PM
Cleveland 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. |
Browns | Shedeur Sanders throws for 157 yards, TD Sun Dec 21, 04:53 PM
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. |
Browns | Myles Garrett inches closer to NFL record Sun Dec 21, 04:49 PM
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.

Browns | Carson Schwesinger fills up stat sheet Sun Dec 21, 04:47 PM
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 story Browns | Quinshon Judkins suffers broken leg Sun Dec 21, 04:01 PM
Head 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. |
Browns | Quinshon Judkins will not return Sun Dec 21, 02:43 PM
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 story Browns | Quinshon Judkins carted off Sun Dec 21, 02:14 PM
Cleveland 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. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson may be activated from PUP list soon Sat Dec 20, 02:19 PM
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. |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. staying busy Sat Dec 20, 02:16 PM
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. |
Browns | Michael Hall Jr. added to injury report Sat Dec 20, 12:51 PM
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.

Browns | Dylan Sampson ruled out Fri Dec 19, 03:15 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (hand) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and has been ruled out for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: This is an appealing running back matchup, as the Bills' 26.1 fantasy points allowed to running backs rank fifth-most among all defenses. With Sampson out, Quinshon Judkins should see a substantial workload. Trayveon Williams may get a few touches, but Judkins is the only running back with fantasy value this week. |
Browns | David Njoku will not be available Fri Dec 19, 02:59 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and has been ruled out for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Njoku has fallen off the fantasy radar as rookie Harold Fannin has established himself as the team's primary pass-catcher. He may try to suit up for Week 17, but he is droppable in all fantasy formats. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson misses practiceq Wed Dec 17, 02:30 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (calf) did not practice on Wednesday, Dec. 17.
| Footballguys view: The rookie back from Tennessee has made some exciting plays this year for the Browns, mainly as a receiving threat. Sampson missed last week, and Trayveon Williams played the no.2 role behind Quinshon Judkins. If Sampson has to miss Week 16, Judkins might be in line to get some more targets. |

Browns | Seven more receptions for Harold Fannin Jr. Sun Dec 14, 07:53 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. racked up seven receptions for 48 yards on a game-high 14 targets in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.
Link to story Browns | Isaiah Bond with two long receptions Sun Dec 14, 07:51 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond posted two receptions for a game-high 89 yards in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. His catches went for a game-long 47 yards, and the second-longest play of the game at 42 yards.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke suggests, the Browns have a favorable matchup in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so it's possible someone like Bond could be fantasy-relevant for that game. However, it will be good to see his playing time next week if Cedric Tillman and Malachi Corley, who both played through questionable designations Sunday, can practice fully for a whole week. This game was a good sign of Bond's chances to become a part of the Browns' wide receiver rotation next season. |

Cleveland Browns OG Zak Zinter (back) was downgraded from questionable to out Saturday, Dec. 13, for Week 15's game against the Chicago Bears.
Link to story Browns | Shedeur Sanders learning balance Sat Dec 13, 12:30 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders said he is working on finding a balance between hunting big plays and keeping the offense on schedule. 'Sometimes you get in situations where you got to understand the play's over, and I'm improving in that,' Sanders said.
| Footballguys view: Sanders loves to throw the ball. In fact, he'll often hold onto the ball too long and drift back (which is a sin in the NFL) while waiting for routes to develop. Sanders can be an advanced pro passer, with deft touch and accuracy, but he needs to learn how to better get rid of the ball quickly and sometimes take what the defense is giving him. He'll get the rest of his rookie season to make strides in that area. |

Browns | Questionable tag for Cedric Tillman Fri Dec 12, 02:25 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion, rib) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Tillman has averaged just three targets per game since returning from injury in Week 10. With Davis Njoku inactive, there's some potential for an expanded role, but he's ranked deep enough that you probably won't be starting him even if he suits up. |
Browns | David Njoku to miss game Fri Dec 12, 01:22 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 15 game.
| Footballguys view: Njoku has taken a backseat to rookie tight end Harold Fannin this season. Fannin should dominate targets in this week's matchup against the Bears, putting him firmly in the high-end TE1 discussion. Njoku hopes to return next week. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson ruled out Fri Dec 12, 01:15 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (calf, hand) has been ruled out of the Week 15 game.
| Footballguys view: With Jerome Ford landing on IR earlier this week, Quinshon Judkins is set to be the team's workhorse. Raheim Sanders will likely see some relief snaps, but in a cold-weather matchup against a porous Bears defense, Judkins is a must-add for your lineup. |
