Huddle Up: New Browns coach Todd Monken did not commit to Sanders, who started the final seven games in 2025, as the starter at his introductory news conference. Berry also previously said that the Browns are expected to search for a quarterback addition this offseason.

Huddle Up: Judkins dislocated his ankle in Week 16 of the season. While he may be back, that is a quick turnaround for that type of injury, so fantasy players may have tempered expectations to start the season before he hits full gear later on.

Huddle Up: Shedeur Sanders became the team's starter in the middle of the last season. While he admits it is not off the table, it seems Sanders shareholders need not panic yet.

Huddle Up: The first six NFL games for Judkins up to Week 7 were very solid, as he scored five touchdowns and posted 4.3 yards per rush attempt. After that point until his season-ending leg injury in Week 16, Judkins averaged just 3.0 YPA and scored just two rushing touchdowns as the offense cratered with the quarterback combination of Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Whether Judkins will be healthy in Week 1 of 2026 remains to be seen, but it doesn't help matters when all five of the team's starting offensive linemen are set to hit free agency. A healthy Judkins will see the bulk of the volume, but the efficiency with that volume is a work in progress. He should be drafted in all formats as a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 because of his youth and opportunity, but note that there is plenty of downside thanks to the Browns' offensive environment.

Huddle Up: The Browns quarterback situation is uncertain for 2026, so fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Watson has a chance at the starting job in 2026. He was not playing well before his injuries and will be only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.

Huddle Up: Njoku fell behind Harold Fannin Jr. on the depth chart this season and will likely look for a starting job in free agency. He has played well in the past and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some leagues depending on his situation.

Huddle Up: Sanders will likely be in the driver's seat for the Browns QB1 job during training camp. He is going to have to prove himself to a new coaching staff, and if he does, he can be a QB2 in two-quarterback leagues in 2026.

Huddle Up: Watson missed the entire season because of his Achilles injury, so fantasy players should monitor the situation this offseason to see if he receives the chance to compete for the starting job. He was not posting great numbers before the injury and would only be a low-end No. 2 quarterback if he starts.

Huddle Up: The Browns will likely look to add a quarterback in either free agency or the NFL Draft, so Sanders will have competition for the starting job next season. He will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in 2026 if he earns the starting job.

Huddle Up: Njoku is one of the longest-tenured players on the team, so kudos to him for wanting to stay where it all started for him and help the team become a winner. Logically, however, it doesn't make a lot of sense for him to do so. First and foremost, Harold Fannin Jr. took over as the team's primary weapon in the passing game around midseason. Perhaps just as importantly, there are at least 10 teams where he would serve as a huge upgrade, so he should have a nice market. Last but not least, Cleveland's late-season surge means it will be selecting at No. 6 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, which might be too low to grab a blue-chip quarterback in what is shaping up to be a weak draft overall.

Huddle Up: Jeudy had a very trying season working with the turnstile at quarterback, as Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders all worked under center. Jeudy showed WR1 fantasy ability working with a stable QB in 2024, but things fell apart in 2025. He has some upside, and could re-emerge as a strong fantasy value in the late rounds on draft day if Cleveland can get an NFL-caliber signal caller under center for the long haul.

Huddle Up: Sanders could see some valuable touches in 2026 with the current assortment of personnel, as Quinshon Judkins is unlikely to be ready for the start of the new season after suffering a gruesome injury in December. The team could bring in a veteran, or draft some help at the position, but if not, Sanders could have a decent role. However, his fantasy appeal remains rather minimal.

Huddle Up: Sampson has some upside heading into 2026, especially early in the season, as rookie Quinshon Judkins suffered a gruesome injury late in the season, and it's likely he won't ready for the start of the new campaign. As it stands, Sampson would have some fantasy appeal, but it all depends on if the Browns elect to bring in more veteran help or add personnel via the draft.

Huddle Up: Sanders got a long look down the stretch, flashing some glimpses of brilliance at times, while looking like a green rookie at other times. It's uncertain if he did enough to secure the starting job long term. If Kevin Stefanski is relieved of his coaching duties, that could change the direction the team goes at the position, too, so Sanders' outlook for 2026 is rather murky. There are a ton of very good QBs in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Huddle Up: Sampson received a majority of the carries last week but did not have much success in the running game. He will probably share playing time with Raheim Sanders again this week but could be a possible flex option in some fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Sanders has thrown two touchdowns and seven interceptions over the last three games and has been held to under 200 passing yards in all three games. He should have a favorable matchup this week but only be a possible option in some two-quarterback leagues.

Huddle Up: Fanin Jr. has emerged as the TE1 in the Browns' offense and one you can plug into your lineups in 2026. He produced all year long for the Browns and should replicate that regardless of who is the quarterback next season.

Huddle Up: Njoku is set to be a free agent this upcoming offseason and may look to sign elsewhere after the emergence of Harold Fanin Jr. Njoku has some promise as a starting tight end in deeper leagues, but could return to TE1 prominence in the right spot.

Huddle Up: With Quinshon Judkins injured, Sampson could end the year on a high note when he faces the Cincinnati Bengals. That being said, the rookie hasn't shown enough overall to be more than the backup to Judkins to open 2026.

Huddle Up: It remains to be seen if Sanders will enter 2026 as Cleveland's starter, but he should have a decent opportunity to prove he deserves a shot at the job when he faces a vulnerable Cincinnati defense in the finale.

Huddle Up: Fannin has been a popular target for Shedeur Sanders and a TE1 for fantasy owners. Whether or not the rookie is able to play in the finale remains to be seen, but Fannin has established himself as a weekly starter heading into 2026.

Huddle Up: Sampson has become the de facto starter with Quinshon Judkins out with an injury, but he struggled to do much with his touches last week. The Bengals present a friendly matchup in the finale, but Sampson should be considered no more than a low-end flex play.

Huddle Up: With starter Harold Fannin leaving early with an injury, the rookie Cannella caught his first two passes in his NFL career.

Huddle Up: Jeudy had his most catches since six in Week 10 against the Jets and surpassed 26 yards for just the second time in five games. With subpar quarterback play, Jeudy hasn't come close to his 90-reception, 1,229-yard season in 2024, but if there is an upgrade at QB next season, look for Jeudy to rebound closer to his past performance and be an excellent WR2/3 option.

Huddle Up: With Quinshon Judkins out for the rest of the season with a leg injury, Sanders got carries in a third game this season. He had 11 for 42 yards last week against Buffalo. Sanders should remain a backup for the Browns next season and not a factor in fantasy.

Huddle Up: With Quinshon Judkins out for the rest of the season with a leg injury, Sampson got his most carries since 12 for 29 yards in the opener. Sampson should remain a backup for the Browns next season and not a factor in fantasy.

Huddle Up: Sanders improved to 2-4 as a starter despite throwing for under 200 yards for a third straight start and for the fourth time in six starts this season. Since 364 yards and three touchdowns against Tennessee, the rookie has thrown two touchdowns against seven interceptions in the last three games. Sanders is getting his opportunity late in the season and has had his ups and downs, but he''s looking like a low-end at-best draft pick should he retain the starting nod in 2026.

Huddle Up: Fannin didn't leave fantasy managers empty-handed. It was risky business starting Fannin, who had a questionable tag, especially on a slippery track in rainy Cleveland. Still, at least he was able to score a TD before departing. We'll update his status for Week 18 as soon as it is known.
