Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson is unlikely to play this season, but the Browns are planning on having Watson on their roster next year, according to league sources. The Browns believe Watson has provided a veteran presence to the team's young quarterbacks.
Huddle Up: Even if Watson remains with the Browns next season, it is hard to imagine a scenario where he ends up back under center.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Njoku has had a limited role in the Browns' offense since the arrival of Harold Fannin Jr. As a result, Njoku can be avoided in most leagues as he is not earning enough targets to be in your lineup.

Cleveland Browns QB DeShaun Watson (Achilles) is not "likely" to play in 2025.
Huddle Up: With Watson out for all of 2025, that should indicate that Shedeur Sanders is likely to keep the starting job for the remainder of the year.
Posted 12/04/2025 7:09 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (calf) is not participating in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.
Huddle Up: Sampson suffered the injury during the last game and has not been able to practice this week, so fantasy players should not count on him being available. Quinshon Judkins will see most of the snaps even if Sampson is able to play and should be the only Browns running back starting in fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Huddle Up: Njoku has been operating behind rookie Harold Fannin Jr., and he has seen limited production. For fantasy purposes, you can do much better at this critical juncture of the season. Njoku is only worth trusting in deeper leagues.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles') had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Huddle Up: The Browns don't seem enamored with Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders as the starter, which means Watson could come out of nowhere and regain his job. What that offers in fantasy, though, is very minimal.
Posted 12/01/2025 12:43 am GMT
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders is confirmed to be the starting quarterback in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday, Nov. 30.
Huddle Up: Sanders didn't have a great day in Week 13 against the 49ers in the gusty winds at Huntington Bank Field. He should find a little more success against the more giving Titans. However, he is nothing more than a low-end QB2 in most fantasy formats.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:35 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman was targeted one time during the Week 13 game against the San Francisco 49ers but finished the game with zero receptions.
Huddle Up: Tillman is averaging under two receptions per game since returning from the Reserve/Injured list and has only five yards in the last two games with Shedeur Sanders as the starter. He may see a few targets next week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:31 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku caught two passes for four yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He was targeted two times during the game.
Huddle Up: Njoku has become smaller part of the passing game as the season has gone on and has only 11 receiving yards in the last three games. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues unless Harold Fannin Jr. suffers an injury at some point.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:25 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond caught one pass for 18 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He was targeted two times during the game. He also rushed for nine yards on one carry during the game.
Huddle Up: Bond's role in the passing game has been inconsistent this season and has been targeted two times or less in four of the last five games. He could see a few targets next week against the Tennessee Titans but is unlikely to be a starting option in many leagues.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:15 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught three passes for 26 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He was targeted four times during the game.
Huddle Up: Jeudy has been held to under 40 yards in five of his last six games and has posted at least 50 yards in only three games this season. He probably will see a handful of targets next week and could be a flex option in some leagues because of the favorable matchup.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:09 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught three passes for 43 yards and one touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He was targeted five times during the game. He also lost a fumble during the game.
Huddle Up: Fannin has been one of the main targets in the passing game for the Browns this season and has found chemistry with all three starting quarterbacks. He will continue to see a good amount of targets each game and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end next week.
Posted 11/30/2025 10:03 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins rushed for 91 yards on 23 carries against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He also caught three passes for 18 yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Judkins was able to rush for at least 90 yards for only the third time this season and has received at least 15 carries in five of his last six games. He should see plenty of touches again last week and will be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/30/2025 8:29 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (calf) left the Week 13 game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a calf injury, and he will not return. He had four carries for 23 yards with no receptions or targets before departing.
Huddle Up: Sampson is mostly useful only in deeper fantasy leagues when healthy. He is a good-looking young running back with speed to burn, and he and Quinshon Judkins could be nice cornerstones in the Cleveland offense going forward.
Posted 11/29/2025 7:05 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders may continue to be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season if he plays well in upcoming games, according to sources.
Huddle Up: The Browns likely will use the remaining games this season to see if they can have Sanders as their starting quarterback in 2026. He has a decent outing in Week 13 but will have to play well against some good defenses coming up on the schedule. He can be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues but should be avoided in standard leagues.
Posted 11/28/2025 10:31 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
Huddle Up: Njoku has not been a big part of the passing recently with only four targets in the last three games. He may see a handful of targets this week against the San Francisco 49ers but is unlikely to be a starter in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/27/2025 11:25 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
Huddle Up: Njoku has been on the injury report for several weeks because of the injury but will likely be active for the Week 13 game. It appears like he has fallen behind Harold Fannin Jr. in terms of targets among the tight ends and is unlikely to be a starting option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/26/2025 11:56 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
Huddle Up: Njoku has been able to play despite the injury but has been held to only seven receiving yards total in the last two games. He may see a few targets this week against the San Francisco 49ers but is only a No. 2 fantasy tight end at this point.
Posted 11/24/2025 7:18 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will be the starting quarterback for the Browns in Week 13 even though QB Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Huddle Up: Sanders is coming off a solid debut last week with 209 yards and one touchdown but will be facing a tougher opponent in Week 13. He could be a possible option in some two-quarterback leagues but should be avoided in standard leagues.
Posted 11/24/2025 2:06 am GMT
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku went without a catch or target in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Huddle Up: Njoku has been forced to reserve status in the Cleveland offense, as rookie Harold Fannin Jr. seems to have been the preferred tight end ever since training camp. For now, Njoku should be cut loose, as he has gone from fantasy TE1 to non-existent in less than a calendar year.
Posted 11/24/2025 2:00 am GMT
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman ended up with a single 5-yard reception on three targets in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Huddle Up: Tillman is considered the No. 2 receiver on the roster behind Jerry Jeudy, but for fantasy purposes he is best used as a WR5, and even that might be a bit generous with the erratic QB play in Cleveland.
Posted 11/24/2025 1:55 am GMT
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy had a single catch good for 39 yards in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but he lost the ball on a fumble at the end of the long play. He was targeted three times.
Huddle Up: Jeudy had one of just five receptions among four wide receivers, as rookie Shedeur Sanders was limited to short and intermediate routes, with most of the throws going to tight ends and running backs. Jeudy was a must-start fantasy option at times last season, but he has devolved into a WR4 in most fantasy leagues this season.
Posted 11/24/2025 1:53 am GMT
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. posted four receptions for 40 yards on six targets in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders, while adding a 4-yard run on his only rushing attempt.
Huddle Up: Fannin has basically chiseled David Njoku out of the offense in Cleveland. The rookie has emerged as a solid TE2 in most fantasy leagues, and he is a great long-term keeper option, too.
Posted 11/24/2025 1:41 am GMT
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson rushed seven times for 23 yards in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders, and he added two receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown on three targets.
Huddle Up: Sampson showed off blinding speed on a 66-yard catch and run from Shedeur Sanders. He is a Cleveland rookie who could have a very nice future with a little more experience and confidence. He isn't necessarily worth using in most fantasy leagues outside of deeper leagues, but he is a nice keeper league option. He and Quinshon Judkins could be quite a nice one-two punch in Cleveland for years to come.
Posted 11/24/2025 1:36 am GMT
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins rushed 16 times for 47 yards and two touchdowns in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
Huddle Up: Judkins left the game briefly due to an apparent lower-body injury, but he returned to finish. He saw some direct snaps at quarterback, especially near the goal line, and that's a look fantasy managers wouldn't mind seeing continue. He remains a solid RB2 in most fantasy leagues, and the rookie is a strong long-term dynasty option.
Posted 11/22/2025 4:48 am GMT
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will be allowed to "move the pocket a little bit more" against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 to try to take advantage of his ability to make plays off schedule, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
Huddle Up: Sanders' first NFL start will come against a vulnerable Las Vegas defense, so Sanders will have some intrigue as a QB2, even if he looked shaky in his first game action last week.
Posted 11/21/2025 10:50 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 21, and no longer appears on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Njoku has not been the top target in the Browns' passing game out of the tight end position all year. He can be played in two tight end leagues, but can be avoided otherwise.
