Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) is dealing with a nagging injury, but head coach Todd Monken said the team is not worried about the injury.
Huddle Up: The Browns will likely be cautious with Judkins to make sure he will be ready for the start of the regular season. He will have a significant role in the Browns offense this season and will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Aug. 19.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see if Judkins is dealing with an injury that may sideline him in the days ahead. He is set to receive a lot of touches this season as the starting running back and will be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders is expected to start and play the first half of the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22, against the Buffalo Bills, head coach Todd Monken said.
Huddle Up: Sanders and Deshaun Watson are expected to rotate the first-team reps in practice, including joint practices with the Bills, during the week. Whomever wins the starting job is nothing more than a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues at this point.

Cleveland Browns QBs Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson will split first-team reps this week in a rotation. Head coach Todd Monken said Sunday, Aug. 16 that Sanders will work with the first team Monday and Wednesday, with Watson doing so Tuesday and Thursday. That will also allow both players to get first-team reps in joint practices with the Buffalo Bills ahead of the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22.
Huddle Up: Sanders and Watson continue their battle for the starting job in Cleveland. However, whomever ends up winning the job under center will simply be a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues. Neither is particularly attractive from a fantasy perspective at this juncture.

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed six of his 11 passes for 79 yards and an interception and rushed for three yards on two carries during the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: Deshaun Watson drew the start and was efficient throwing the ball, but Sanders will reportedly have a chance to start the second preseason contest. The battle for the starting quarterback job looks set to continue further into the preseason, but even if Sanders ends up starting Week 1, it is hard to see him being more than a lower-end QB2.

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 11 of his 15 passes for 126 yards and rushed three times for four yards in the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: Watson earned the start in Cleveland's preseason opener, but Shedeur Sanders is already expected to start the second preseason contest. The quarterback competition continues for now, but regardless of who is named the starter, they are going to be in the back half of the QB2 tier.

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.

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.
