Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy averaged 9.9 targets per game without WR Amari Cooper last season compared to 6.0 targets per game with Cooper.

Huddle Up: Jeudy erupted once Cooper was out of the picture, delivering career-best production and becoming a borderline WR1. Cleveland's quarterback situation remains less than ideal, but Jeudy should be the focal point of the passing attack and stay in the WR2 mix.

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy led the NFL with 13 dropped passes during the 2024 regular season.

Huddle Up: Jeudy was one of the better receivers in the NFL during the second half of the season after taking over as the main receiver for the Browns. He should be a big part of the passing game again next season if he stays with the Browns and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Deshaun Watson - QB

Posted 1/10/2025 5:04 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) ruptured his Achilles again and could miss the entire 2025 season, according to sources Friday, Jan. 10.

SOURCE: NFL.com

Huddle Up: Watson was three months into rehab on the initial torn Achilles so this is likely going to keep Watson from being an option in 2025. The Browns hold the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft so there's a chance they could focus on the quarterback position.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.

Huddle Up: Pickett's role in the Wild Card playoff game will be determined by Jalen Hurts' availability. Pickett likely will be the starter if Hurts is not able to play but probably can be avoided in most leagues.

Deshaun Watson - QB

Posted 1/06/2025 3:08 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) suffered a setback in his recovery from a torn Achilles, which will delay his recovery. It's too early for a timetable, however, according to Browns general manager Andrew Berry.

Huddle Up: Watson wasn't a great fantasy option next year before this setback. Stay tuned, but he's unlikely to be more than a two-QB league option.

Contrary to a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) is active for Week 18's game versus the New York Giants.

Huddle Up: Pickett does not appear on the team's official list of inactive players for this afternoon but that also does not necessarily mean that he will play, since Philadelphia has nothing to play for as far as playoff seeding goes. He had been listed as questionable on the injury report despite sitting out all three of the Eagles' practice sessions during the week. QB Tanner McKee is still expected to make his first career start and play in his second career game this afternoon but is not a viable fantasy lineup game because many of Philly's starters will be rested.

Posted 1/05/2025 2:27 am GMT

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught six of his 13 targets for a team-high 63 yards in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18.

Huddle Up: Despite a revolving door at the quarterback position, Jeudy's first year in Cleveland was by far the most productive season of his career. He has become a legitimate WR3.

Posted 1/03/2025 5:50 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Jan. 3.

Huddle Up: Ford was already ruled out for the game against the Baltimore Ravens. With Pierre Strong (concussion) also hitting IR, the Browns will turn to D'Onta Foreman, who can be viewed as a volume-based RB3 play.

David Njoku - TE

Posted 1/03/2025 5:48 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Jan. 3.

Huddle Up: Njoku was already ruled out for the game against the Baltimore Ravens so this comes as no surprise. With Bailey Zappe starting for Cleveland, there's little juice throughout the entire offensive roster.

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (knee) practiced in full once again on Thursday, Jan. 2, and was removed from the Week 18 injury report.

Huddle Up: Jeudy still had a productive game last week despite having Dorian Thompson-Robinson throwing him passes. This week, Bailey Zappe is starting, so we'll downgrade Jeudy to a flex play.

Deshaun Watson - QB

Posted 1/02/2025 5:47 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson should expect competition in the form of "any veteran with starter's talent" this offseason, according to a team source.

Huddle Up: The "working theory leaguewide" is that the Browns will hold on to Watson for one more year and force him to win the job this summer by competing against another veteran or draft pick. It seems likely that Kirk Cousins will be among the veterans considered if he becomes available as expected, while Sam Darnold will likely be too costly for a team that already has Watson's enormous salary on the books. Cam Ward and Shadeur Sanders are widely considered the best quarterback prospects in the draft and will also be given plenty of consideration.

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.

Huddle Up: Jeudy caught a season-high 12 passes last week and is clearly the main target in the passing game for the Browns. He may be working with multiple quarterbacks this week but should still be a starting option in all leagues.

David Njoku - TE

Posted 1/02/2025 12:21 am GMT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.

SOURCE: Sirius XM NFL Radio - Adam Caplan

Huddle Up: Njoku was not able to play in the Week 17 game because of the injury and seems to be questionable at best for the regular season finale. He is a big part of the passing game when healthy, but fantasy players need other options ready in case he is not able to play.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.

Huddle Up: Ford suffered the injury in the last game and may be facing an uphill battle in terms of his availability for Week 18. Fantasy players should monitor the situation because he can be at least a flex option if he is able to play.

Posted 1/01/2025 11:59 pm GMT

Philadelphia Eagles QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1. The Eagles did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.

Huddle Up: Pickett suffered injured ribs in each of the last two games, so fantasy players will need to see if he can play in Week 18. He played well before leaving the Week 17 game, so he could be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues if he is active.

David Njoku - TE

Posted 12/31/2024 11:37 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not practice Tuesday, Dec. 31.

Huddle Up: Njoku was inactive last week and isn't starting out this week on a high note. Managers will want to monitor his status over the next few days while having a pivot option ready.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, Dec. 31.

Huddle Up: Ford played 19% of the snaps last week and totaled just 22 rushing yards on six carries. Managers will want to monitor his reps this week as Pierre Strong would be next in line, but he doesn't have a ton of value against the Baltimore Ravens.

Posted 12/31/2024 11:33 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (knee) was a full participant at practice Tuesday, Dec. 31.

SOURCE: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot

Huddle Up: Jeudy has averaged a ridiculous 100 receiving yards per game over his last nine contests so even if Dorian Thompson-Robinson is under center, Jeudy is a solid play against the Baltimore Ravens.

Bailey Zappe - QB

Posted 12/31/2024 6:20 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns QBs Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe could each see some playing time in Week 18 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.

Huddle Up: Stefanski noted that Jameis Winston is still working through a shoulder injury and will likely serve as the emergency quarterback. Even in Week 18 in which chaos tends to rule in terms of who plays and who doesn't around the league, the likelihood of a DTR-Zappe tag team should not excite fantasy managers - even in two-quarterback leagues.

Cedric Tillman - WR

Posted 12/31/2024 4:38 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Dec. 31.

SOURCE: ESPN - Adam Schefter

Huddle Up: From Weeks 7-9, Tillman had 21 catches for 255 yards and three TDs. He didn't do much beyond that, but that window with Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston at the helm flashed enough to target him as a WR5 next year. In the meantime, skip trying to find a Browns receiver in fantasy. QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson has thrown for 427 yards, 0 TDs and 6 INTs this season.

Posted 12/30/2024 7:32 am GMT

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) carried six times for 22 yards and was not involved as a receiver in the passing game before leaving in the first half of the team's Week 17 game against the Miami Dolphins. Ford logged only one snap in the second half.

Huddle Up: The running back position has taken a beating around the league in recent weeks and Ford was one of several that was forced from action this week. For what it is worth, Ford did look good on a 19-yard burst before his injury. D'Onta Foreman ended up pacing the backfield in this contest and would be a reasonable flex option at worst in Week 18 against the Baltimore Ravens if Ford is ruled out.

Posted 12/30/2024 12:36 am GMT

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught 12 of his 18 targets for 94 yards in a 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.

Huddle Up: After struggling to find a rhythm with Dorain Thompson-Robinson in Week 16, Jeudy was the quarterback's go-to target from start to finish. Jeudy should be safe to play in any fantasy contests still going on in Week 18.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) completed 10 of his 15 pass attempts for 143 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score before exiting the Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Huddle Up: Pickett entered the contest with a rib injury, and a hard hit from Micah Parsons ended his afternoon. Pickett did look solid when on the field, but with the division title secured, it remains to be seen who will be under center for Philadelphia in the finale.

Posted 12/29/2024 8:07 pm GMT

Philadelphia Eagles QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) injured his ribs during the Week 17 game and is considered questionable to return.

Huddle Up: Pickett entered the game with injured ribs, so it is not known if he aggravated the injury during the game. Tanner McKee will be the quarterback while Pickett and Jalen Hurts are sidelined but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Posted 12/27/2024 9:49 pm GMT

Philadelphia Eagles QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 27, but is not on the injury report for Week 17.

Huddle Up: Pickett will be the starting quarterback for the Eagles as long as he does not suffer any setbacks over the next few days. He threw for 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception when he took over for Jalen Hurts last week and probably will not have significantly more success this week. He is only a possible starting option in two-quarterback leagues.

Posted 12/27/2024 9:41 pm GMT

Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (knee, shin) was limited at practice for the third straight day on Friday, Dec. 27, but carries no designation for Week 17.
