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

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.

Cleveland Browns TE Jordan Akins caught six of his eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Akins closed the year with two solid games in place of starter David Njoku, but the veteran tight end heads to free agency this offseason.
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.

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.
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.
Posted 1/02/2025 9:50 pm GMT
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.
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.
Posted 1/02/2025 12:29 am GMT
Cleveland Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: Thompson-Robinson is in line to start if he is active but may have to share playing time with Bailey Zappe during the game. Fantasy players should have other options available and can avoid Thompson-Robinson.
Posted 1/02/2025 12:21 am GMT
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.
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.
Posted 1/02/2025 12:17 am GMT
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 12/31/2024 11:41 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Despite scoring a rushing touchdown in each of his last two games, Thompson-Robinson has failed to reach double-digit fantasy points. He's not an option for managers to consider.
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.
Posted 12/31/2024 11:33 pm GMT
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.
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.
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.
Posted 12/31/2024 4:38 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Dec. 31.
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 12:41 am GMT
Cleveland Browns RB D'Onta Foreman finished with 13 carries for a team-high 49 yards and failed to catch either of his targets in a 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Foreman saw a bulk of the backfield touches when Jerome Ford left with an injury in the first half. Fellow back Pierre Strong Jr. also suffered an injury late in the game. Foreman could be the last back standing for the season finale, but even in that scenario, he is a risky flex play.
Posted 12/30/2024 12:39 am GMT
Cleveland Browns WR Elijah Moore caught one of his five targets for one yard in a 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.
Huddle Up: After showing brief signs of life in the middle of the season when Jameis Winston took over at quarterback, Moore has quickly faded back into irrelevancy.
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.
Posted 12/29/2024 2:40 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns QB Jameis Winston (shoulder) is expected to serve as the emergency third quarterback for Week 17's game versus the Miami Dolphins, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Winston had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. Dorian Thompson-Robinson will serve as the Browns' starting quarterback but can be avoided in all fantasy formats.
Posted 12/28/2024 2:13 pm GMT
Confirming a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) will start Week 17's game against the Miami Dolphins, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Huddle Up: Thompson-Robinson had been a limited participant in the Browns' first two practice sessions of the week but was removed from the injury report after logging a full session Friday, Dec. 27. He has not experienced much success this season and can be avoided in fantasy 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.
Huddle Up: Jeudy was sensational with Jameis Winston under center but gets downgraded quite a bit with Dorian Thompson-Robinson at the helm. Jeudy is nothing more than a shaky flex play in Week 17.
Posted 12/27/2024 6:59 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for Week 17 versus the Miami Dolphins.
Huddle Up: This makes three straight weeks of limited practices for Tillman, who will miss a fifth consecutive contest. Tillman was concussed in Cleveland's upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 and will likely not play in Week 18 either. If so, he will end his season having flashed immense upside for a short time with Jameis Winston as his quarterback.
Posted 12/27/2024 6:46 pm GMT
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins.
Huddle Up: Njoku powered his way through a hamstring injury and somehow posted eight catches with Dorian Thompson-Robinson as his quarterback in Week 16 despite only one limited practice, but he will not pull off the same feat this week. Jordan Akins will replace him in the lineup but is not a recommended fantasy option. With Cleveland eliminated from postseason consideration, it seems unlikely Njoku will play in the season finale against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 either.
