Browns | Cedric Tillman listed as questionable Fri Dec 20, 03:41 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 20, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Although Tillman remains in concussion protocol, The Athletic's Zac Jackson reports the Browns are hopeful he'll be able to play against the Bengals. Tillman has missed three games after suffering a concussion against the Steelers in Week 12. If cleared, Tillman's role and production could be limited with the Browns turning Dorian Thompson-Robinson as their starting quarterback. |
Browns | David Njoku's status in question Fri Dec 20, 03:35 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 20, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Njoku (hamstring) missed last week's loss to the Chiefs. "He's very motivated to play," head coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday. "We'll see how he responds to practicing today and make the decision." Njoku has recorded 56 catches for 439 yards with five touchdowns in 10 games this season. He's also demonstrated a solid connection with Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the second-year signal caller's three career starts. The veteran tight end has a 27 percent target share and double-digit fantasy points in each of those starts. |

Browns | Browns make a QB change Wed Dec 18, 12:18 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start over QB Jameis Winston in Week 16, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced on Wednesday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Winston is a national treasure for his pregame speeches or any sideline interview, but he's thrown eight interceptions over the past three games. Thompson-Robinson is raw as a passer, but he can move on the run so perhaps there's some sort of spark...but Fantasy GMs are not relying on it. |

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (foot) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Chubb missed half of this season coming back from a bad knee injury. Upon his return, Chubb did not look like his old self. He had 332 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns over eight games. Chubb is set to hit the open market in the spring, and he should have some interest. |

Browns | Dorian Thompson-Robinson to start Tue Dec 17, 12:34 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
| Footballguys view: This news comes as no surprise after Winston was benched during the team's Week 15 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. As has been the case throughout his NFL career, Winston's turnover issues cost him another job. If this is the end of Winston in Cleveland, he will have completed 61.1 percent of his pass attempts for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He also scored a touchdown on the ground. Winston led the Browns to a 2-5 record in games he started. Making this change now is a wise decision for Cleveland. They need to see what kind of player they have in Thompson-Robinson. The young quarterback has shown flashes of potential. But he's had a rough season so far this year, playing in four games and completing just 44.1 percent of his passes for 100 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions. Fantasy investors with stakes in Jerry Jeudy, David Njoku, and other receiving assets here should carefully assess all options this week, even in a favorable matchup against the Bengals. |

Browns | Cedric Tillman may be available Tue Dec 17, 02:28 AM
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) hopefully will be available for the Week 16 game, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Tillman has missed three games with a concussion he suffered in the team's Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has not played since, although he appears to be getting close to clearing the NFL's concussion protocol. Assuming he returns this week, the matchup against the Bengals is appealing. Remember, however, there's uncertainty at quarterback. It's not clear whether Dorian Thompson-Robinson or Jameis Winston will be running the offense this week. Tillman had some impressive outings this season, but the evolving QB situation is worth watching. |
Browns | David Njoku may play in Week 16 Tue Dec 17, 02:28 AM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) hopefully will be available for the Week 16 game, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Stefanski told reporters that Njoku is "getting better" after he was forced to sit out of the Week 15 loss to the Chiefs with a hamstring injury. Njoku had been a must-start with Jameis Winston as his triggerman, but that could change this week. Winston was benched on Sunday, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson got the nod against the Bengals this weekend. It's a situation worth watching. |

Browns | Stefanski Not Sure If Nick Chubb Will Need Surgery Mon Dec 16, 03:19 PM
The Browns received disappointing news when it was revealed that RB Nick Chubb, who left in the third quarter against the Chiefs, would miss the remainder of the 2024 season with a broken foot. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he did not yet know but did not believe Chubb's injury would require surgery.
| Footballguys view: Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season and did not return to NFL action until Week 7 of the 2024 season. "I can't say it enough, how impressive it was to watch him get back this season," Stefanski said. "So, very, very disappointed with yesterday and then him having that unfortunate injury, but it can't take away from what he was able to accomplish this season." We'll watch for more on Chubb in case there's a change and surgery is required. In the meantime, Jerome Ford will lead the Browns' backfield down the stretch. |

Browns | Stefanski Not Sure If Jameis Winston Will Remain The Starter Mon Dec 16, 01:44 PM
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski made a quarterback change during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but he's not ready to name a starter for their Week 16 trip to Cincinnati. "We're still putting this game to bed . . . anything with Cincinnati, I'll update you guys as we get into the week," Stefanski said on Monday via 92.3 The Fan.
| Footballguys view: Jameis Winston started his seventh straight game and was pulled in favor of Dorian Thompson-Robinson after throwing three interceptions. Thompson-Robinson was 4-of-9 for 18 yards and a pick while closing out the 21-7 loss. As PFT suggested, regardless of whether Winston or Thompson-Robinson gets the nod this week, Stefanski and the Browns have more significant quarterback questions to answer once this season comes to an end. |

Browns | DE Myles Garrett Able To Return From Poke In The Eye Sun Dec 15, 07:54 PM
Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett suffered a left eye injury during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: The injury occurred with Garrett rushing against Chiefs LT Joe Thuney, who apparently scraped Garrett across the face, potentially hitting his eye. Garrett threw his helmet off and faced down on the ground as Patrick Mahomes waved over to the sideline for trainer assistance. After getting up, Garrett immediately went to the locker room for further evaluation. Garrett returned to the field with a visor on his helmet late in the second quarter and played the rest of the game without issue. |

Browns | Jerry Jeudy goes over 1,000 yards Sun Dec 15, 05:09 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy ended up with 11 receptions for a game-high 108 yards on 14 targets in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, securing the first 1,000-yard season of his NFL career.
| Footballguys view: Jeudy was the only bright spot in the Browns passing game, but his fantasy run could be coming to an end if the Browns turn to Dorian Thompson-Robinson next week after benching Jameis Winston late in the loss to the Chiefs. We'll be watching all of the coach comments carefully as Kevin Stefanski did not commit to Winston as the starter going forward. |

Browns | Jerome Ford is the guy going forward Sun Dec 15, 05:05 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford rushed seven times for 84 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he had two receptions for 20 yards on two targets.
| Footballguys view: Most of Ford's production came on a 62-yard touchdown run when he easily pulled away from the Chiefs defense. He'll be the lead back going forward and should be the top waiver wire priority this week. |
Browns | Dorian Thompson-Robinson finishes up Sun Dec 15, 05:03 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed 4-of-9 passes for 18 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs in relief of QB Jameis Winston, who was benched in the fourth quarter.

Browns | Nick Chubb suffers broken foot Sun Dec 15, 04:56 PM
Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (foot) suffered a broken foot in the Week 15 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Sunday, Dec. 15. Chubb finished with 41 rushing yards on nine attempts with no catches on one target in what will be his final game of 2024.
| Footballguys view: Jerome Ford will be one of the hottest pickups of the week as Chubb's comeback from a catastrophic knee injury was a non-event for fantasy. It's possible that we have seen his last game as a Brown, which is sad because he has been a signature player of this up and down era for the team. |

Browns | GM Berry HC Stefanski QB Watson Expected Back in 2025 Sat Dec 14, 02:13 PM
Jonathan Jones, from CBS Sports, reports the Cleveland Browns are expected to retain the services of GM Andrew Berry, HC Kevin Stefanski, and QB Deshaun Watson in 2025.
| Footballguys view: The Browns are in a corner with Watson. To release him before June 1 would create a record $119 million in dead money. Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles' injury in Week 7, and his status for the beginning of the 2025 season is unknown. Reports speculate (with good reason) that the Browns will be looking at competition for Watson in the offseason. Both Stefanski and Berry signed extensions last offseason, so keeping them together is not a shock. |

Browns | Jerry Jeudy on a hot streak Sat Dec 14, 01:51 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy has recorded 50-plus receiving yards in six consecutive games, which is the longest of his career.
| Footballguys view: Jeudy is on track to set career highs in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns this season. He's only 56 yards away from the first 1,000-yard season of his career. Jeudy has meshed well with QB Jameis Winston in a way he did not with QB Deshaun Watson. We'll see how he looks next season with whoever is playing quarterback for the Browns. Fantasy GMs can start Jeudy as a WR2 with upside in the fantasy playoffs. |

Browns | David Njoku hopes to play Sat Dec 14, 01:51 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is dealing with a tight hamstring but hopes to be able to play in the Week 15 game.
| Footballguys view: Njoku did not participate in practice on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. That's not a great sign for his availability in Week 15 against the Chiefs. Fantasy GMs should have made other plans in the fantasy playoffs. Njoku could end up playing, but he's clearly not going to be at full strength. Jordan Akins gets a larger role if (when?) Njoku is out. |

Browns | Cedric Tillman to sit out again vs. KC Fri Dec 13, 02:25 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for Week 15 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Tillman suffered the concussion in Week 12 so it is a little worrisome that it has taken this long for him to clear protocol. The target tree could be narrowed to Elijah Moore, Jerry Jeudy, and Jordan Akins against the Chiefs, but the weather may not be conducive to big passing numbers on Sunday in Cleveland. |
Browns | David Njoku questionable for Week 15 Fri Dec 13, 02:18 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) did not practice all week but is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Njoku said his hamstring tightened up during the game last week, but he played through it. The weather is going to be cold and windy in Cleveland and Njoku is at risk of reinjury if active, but he was still a good fantasy tight end after the injury last week and Jameis Winston could target him a lot in a losing game script against the Chiefs, so it will be tough to sit an active Njoku unless you have another top 6-8 tight end option. |
