Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion caught three of his four targets for 27 yards and added a 14-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: Concepcion is pushing to earn a starting role, and the rookie certainly made a good impression in his first preseason action. He could prove to be an explosive weapon for a Cleveland offense that needs a source of big plays, and Concepcion is a solid investment as an upside WR5.

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught both of his targets for 18 yards in the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: After topping 1,200 receiving yards in 2024, Jeudy's number cratered last year. Quarterback play will ultimately determine his ceiling, and unfortunately for Jeudy, the quarterback situation in Cleveland is a major question mark. It is safest to target Jeudy as a WR4.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins rushed four times for nine yards in the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Sunday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: An injury ended Judkins' rookie season early, but he managed a respectable 998 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns in 14 games. Judkins should see a majority of the touches on early downs and near the goal line in 2026, which positions him to be a low-end RB2 candidate.

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will start and play the first half in the Browns' second preseason game, according to Browns HC Todd Monken on Saturday, Aug. 15. Monken also said he will give both quarterbacks, including Browns QB Deshaun Watson, opportunities with the first-team offense.
Huddle Up: The Browns' quarterback competition enters its second preseason week, and it's anybody's ballgame here. No matter if it's Sanders or Watson, neither should be drafted in single-QB fantasy leagues, but both can be selected as QB3s in multiple-quarterback leagues where you can start more than one in your lineup.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson will be the starting quarterback for the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 15. QB Shedeur Sanders is scheduled to start the second preseason game.
Huddle Up: There have been some reports that indicated that Watson may be in the lead for the job, but head coach Todd Monken is unlikely to make a decision in the near future. Both Watson and Sanders can be considered No. 2 fantasy quarterbacks.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders will each start one of the next two preseason games, according to head coach Todd Monken. Monken said the starting quarterback will play the first half of the preseason game, while the other quarterback will play the third quarter of the game.
Huddle Up: It seems like Watson and Sanders will continue their competition throughout the preseason, so fantasy players should check for an announcement closer to the start of the regular season. Both Watson and Sanders can be considered No. 2 fantasy quarterbacks if they win the job.

Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston will start working with the first-team offense during training camp, according to head coach Todd Monken.
Huddle Up: Boston has been producing during training camp and seems to have earned a bigger role in the passing game. He will probably see a few targets each game this season and could be a possible late round pick in some deeper leagues.

Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion told reports he has an AC joint sprain in his shoulder from falling on it, but he is fine, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.
Huddle Up: Concepcion has been playing well in training camp, and there have been some talks that he could be the WR2 in Cleveland. If this injury doesn't affect him long-term, then he could be in play to be an interesting flex option in lineups in 2026.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson "had his best day to date" at training camp on Wednesday, Aug. 5, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: It has reportedly been a slow start to camp for Watson, but he remains in the mix to open the season as the starting quarterback. Even if he under center in Week 1, Watson would be no more than a fringe QB2.

Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion (shoulder) is participating in practice Wednesday, Aug. 5.
Huddle Up: Concepcion injured his shoulder earlier this week but only needed a few days to recover. He will probably see a good amount of work as a slot receiver this season and could be a possible late round pick in some deeper leagues.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion (shoulder) is expected to be fine after suffering a shoulder injury during practice Monday, Aug. 3.
Huddle Up: Concepcion could miss a few practices but seems to be dealing with a minor issue. He will probably be used as a slot receiver for the Browns during his rookie season and could be a late round pick in deeper leagues.

Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion (shoulder) suffered an apparent shoulder injury during practice Monday, Aug. 3.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see how long Concepcion may be sidelined. He has a chance to earn a solid role in the passing game during his rookie season and could be a late round pick in some deeper leagues if healthy.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins could play "all three downs" in 2026, according to running back coach Duce Staley.
Huddle Up: Judkins is coming off a knee injury that ended his 2025 season, but hearing this should be music to fantasy players' ears. Judkins projects as an RB2 with high upside, as well as a fun flex play.

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) said he did not participate in the offseason workouts because of groin surgery but has been cleared to participate in training camp.
Huddle Up: Fannin was a big part of the passing game last season as a rookie and should be a main option again this season. He has become one of the better tight ends in the league and will be a No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders will share snaps with the first-team offense during training camp, according to head coach Todd Monken.
Huddle Up: Watson and Sanders are competing for the starting job, so both will see work with the first team to see if either stand out during practices. The Browns may wait until late in training camp to name a starting quarterback, but neither player is more than a No. 2 fantasy option at this time.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) will be a "full go" for the start of training camp, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: Judkins was making progress throughout offseason activities, but it is reassuring to hear that he will be ready for the start of camp. He should handle a majority of the touches on early downs and around the goal line, putting Judkins firmly in the RB2 mix if he stays healthy.

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders is "closing the gap" on QB Deshaun Watson for the starting quarterback role.
Huddle Up: Sanders has been behind Watson for most of OTAs and minicamp, but with the moment building going into training camp, it makes things interesting. Neither is worth a fantasy investment until the offense shows it can support one from a fantasy perspective.

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (undisclosed) was engaged in the offseason program even though he was not able to participate in practice, according to tight ends coach Jeff Blasko.
Huddle Up: Fannin dealt with an injury this offseason, so fantasy players will need to see if he will be ready for the start of training camp. He is learning a new offensive system but should still be an important part of the passing game. He will likely be a No. 1 tight end in all fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders is not expected to be traded, even if he loses the preseason competition for the Browns' starting quarterback job to QB Deshaun Watson, according to multiple league sources.
Huddle Up: Although Watson is viewed as the favorite to start, neither quarterback is worthy of consideration as much more than a matchup-dependent streaming option for fantasy purposes. Both players should be avoided on draft day outside of deeper two-quarterback leagues.

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (undisclosed) was praised by run game coordinator and tight ends coach Jeff Blasko for how he stayed engaged daily throughout the offseason program, learned the new offensive system and stayed diligent in understanding the details as he recovered from an undisclosed injury.
Huddle Up: Fannin was the TE6 in PPR leagues after a 72-731-6 rookie season. He should become an even bigger part of the offense in Year 2 and will be a solid TE1 in fantasy.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua is eligible for a contract extension, but after trading for CB Trent McDuffie and DE Myles Garrett, the team doesn't seem to be in a hurry for any contract extensions, in the opinion of ESPN's Sarah Barshop on Tuesday, June 30.
Huddle Up: Nacua has been amazing for fantasy football since his rookie season in 2023 and is an easy top-three fantasy wide receiver who will go off of draft boards in the first handful of picks in any fantasy draft,

Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion has made several plays during an offseason program that favors the passing game. The Browns got him the ball in a bevy of ways, from deep shots to screens to run plays, suggesting he could be used in a variety of ways, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN on Monday, June 29.
Huddle Up: Concepcion comes into a wide-open Browns' receiver room with incumbents Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, so as a first-round pick, Concepcion should get first crack at extended playing time. Drops have been an issue for Concepcion in college, but if he can put things together in his rookie season, he'll have the chance to be immediately relevant in fantasy. The price to find out is great, as Concepcion is a later-round pick given that he's a Cleveland Brown.

Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond was the receiver targeted the most this spring.
Huddle Up: Bond added 15 pounds of muscle this offseason. The team drafted KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston early, though, and he'll have a hard time cracking the rotation. He could wind up being a WR5 flyer if injuries occur.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins appears to have regained his confidence and explosiveness on the field after suffering his serious injury during the 2025 season, according to head coach Todd Monken.
Huddle Up: Judkins participated in team drills during minicamp and should be a full participant once training camp begins. He will receive most of the work in the running back this upcoming season if healthy and can be a No. 2 running back in fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson reportedly entered spring practices as "the clear favorite" to be the team's No. 1 quarterback for the 2026 season, although QB Shedeur Sanders has "bridged the gap somewhat," according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler, who added that the competition is unlikely to be resolved until after preseason games have gotten underway.
Huddle Up: Whoever wins the starting quarterback job in Cleveland should not be viewed as much more than a matchup-dependent streaming option for fantasy purposes. Neither player should be drafted outside of deeper two-quarterback leagues.

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry told the media on Friday, June 12, that "everything is on the table" as it relates to QB Deshaun Watson.
Huddle Up: Watsin is coming back from a torn Achilles, and the team has him competing with QB Shedeur Sanders for the starting quarterback job in training camp. By signaling nothing is off the table, it means that Watson remains on shaky ground still, so fantasy players should continue to steer clear of him even in deeper or 2QB leagues.

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, June 11, because of hamstring discomfort, according to head coach Todd Monken.
Huddle Up: Jeudy will have time to rest over the next several weeks, so he should be available for the start of training camp. He is on track to be the main receiver for the Browns again this upcoming season and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston has been one of the "standouts" during offseason activities, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: Boston will provide the Browns with a big target in the passing game, and his size could allow him to carve out a role early in his career. Boston is an intriguing target in dynasty formats, and he could be worth grabbing in the later rounds of redraft leagues.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson said he is fully healthy and has not felt this good since 2023.
Huddle Up: Watson is competing with Shedeur Sanders for the starting quarterback job, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during training camp. Watson played well earlier in his career but would only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts for the Browns.

Cleveland Browns first-round pick WR KC Concepcion signed a four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract worth $20 million, according to a June 9 report.
Huddle Up: Concepcion had 61 receptions for 919 yards and a SEC-high nine touchdowns at Texas A&M in 2025. The rookie could have a big impact for a Browns passing attack that had just one wide receiver - Jerry Jeudy - reach 50 receptions - in 2025. However, the unsettled situation at quarterback could adversely affect the passing game.
