Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Cleared for Sunday's game
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 3:16 PM
Bond (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens after practicing fully Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Bond -- who was inactive in Week 10 -- was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but a full session Friday paves the way for the wideout to be available to face Baltimore in Week 11. That said, with Cedric Tillman back in the starting WR mix alongside Jerry Jeudy, and TEs David Njoku and Harold Fannin both commanding their share of targets on a weekly basis, Bond doesn't have a clear path to steady volume in Cleveland's offense. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Cleared to face Ravens
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 2:51 PM
Tillman (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Tillman upgraded to full participation Friday after a pair of limited practice showings to avoid a Week 11 injury designation. Heading into his second game back from a stint on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, Tillman projects to operate as Cleveland's No. 2 wide receiver alongside Jerry Jeudy. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Gets green light to face Ravens
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 2:49 PM
Fannin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Fannin continues to play through a hamstring injury. He was a limited participant in Cleveland's first two practices during Week 11 preparations before practicing in full Friday. Both Fannin and David Njoku will likely remain involved in Cleveland's passing game. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Another limited practice
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 3:52 PM
Bond (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Bond has now logged back-to-back limited practices to begin Week 11 prep, leaving him with one more chance to upgrade his activity level before the Browns decide whether to tag him with an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens. If cleared to suit up Sunday, Bond will compete with Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman (glute) for targets, as the No. 3 receiver in Cleveland. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Stays limited Thursday
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 3:47 PM
Tillman (glute) remained limited in practice Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: It's unclear if this glute injury is connected to the hamstring injury that landed Tillman on injured reserve prior to his return in Cleveland's Week 10 loss to the Jets. Tillman may just be getting eased back into practice following his return to action, but he would probably need to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Limited again Thursday
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 3:40 PM
Fannin (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Fannin played through his hamstring injury during Cleveland's loss to the Jets in Week 10, in which he caught four of seven targets for 44 yards. Now, coming off back-to-back limited practices, he'll likely need to upgrade to full activity levels at Friday's session in order to avoid an injury designation for Week 11. That said, as long as Fannin can close out the practice week with at least another limited session, it appears he'll have solid odds of being available for Sunday's contest against the Ravens. |

Jerry Jeudy Jerry Jeudy Looking to build momentum
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 8:11 AM
Jeudy looks to build off the momentum created in Week 10's loss to the Jets, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Jeudy had a season-best outing last week, catching six of 12 targets for 78 yards and his first touchdown. The wideout believes his 10 first-half targets got him involved early and credits part of his success to the play calling of offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was given that job after head coach Kevin Stefanski relinquished calling plays coming out of the bye week. Cleveland's quarterback situation has not been ideal and is cited as a major factor in what has been a disappointing season for Jeudy, but the wideout needs to shoulder some of the blame. He leads the NFL with eight drops and has dropped 22.2 percent of the on-target passes thrown his way. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Logs limited practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 4:05 PM
Fannin (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Fannin approached Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets listed as questionable, but suited up for the contest, en route to recording a 66 percent snap share and catching four of his seven targets for 44 yards. With no reported setbacks, chances are Fannin's listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related. Either way, the tight end has two more chances to practice fully before Week 11 injury designations are posted by the Browns. |

Isaiah Bond Isaiah Bond Logs limited practice
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 4:01 PM
Bond (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bond did not practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 10, so it's encouraging to see him handling limited reps Wednesday. With Cedric Tillman (lower body) having been activated from IR and potentially gearing up to retake the field Sunday versus the Ravens, however, Bond could be relegated to the No. 3 receiver role even if healthy. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Limited in practice
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 3:55 PM
Tillman was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a glute injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Thomas returned from a hamstring injury for Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets, catching two of four targets for 11 yards while tying for second on the Browns in route share (74 percent). Fellow Browns wideout Isaiah Bond (foot) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, but he may just be a reserve behind Tillman, Jerry Jeudy and Jamari Thrash at this point. |

Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders Staying on bench Week 11
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 6:32 AM
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said following Sunday's loss to the Jets that Sanders will remain the backup quarterback for Week 11 against the Ravens, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: As evidence mounts weekly that Dillon Gabriel is not the Browns' quarterback of the future, Stefanski hasn't budged on promoting Sanders. The coach was asked directly Monday about when Sanders' chance might be coming, but Stefanski refused to speculate. Sanders, who was never given a single rep with the first-team offense during the summer, is apparently not ready to replace a struggling quarterback three months into the regular season. |

Dillon Gabriel Dillon Gabriel Holds job for another week
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 6:12 AM
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said immediately following Sunday's loss to the Jets that Gabriel will remain the starting quarterback Week 11 against Baltimore, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: That Stefanski will stick with Gabriel, despite mounting evidence that the rookie is out of his depth, could indicate his confidence level in backup Shedeur Sanders. Gabriel had a few good moments in the Week 10 loss, when new play caller, offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, added more designed rollouts. That resulted in No. 1 wideout Jerry Jeudy getting his hands on the ball more often and a season-high 54 yards rushing for the quarterback, but opposing defenses are not being challenged. Gabriel ranks 41st among NFL quarterbacks at minus-0.18 expected points added, and he's showing little evidence that improvement is coming. |

Deshaun Watson Deshaun Watson Progressing, but not practicing
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 2:57 PM
The Browns plan on waiting until at least Week 12 to potentially open Watson's (Achilles) 21-day practice window, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: On Monday, head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Watson was progressing well in his comeback from his Jan. 20 surgery to address a re-ruptured right Achilles tendon and didn't dismiss the possibility of the quarterback practicing this week, but Watson will end up having his return to the field delayed by at least one more week. Given that he hasn't practiced in more than a year since he initially ruptured his Achilles on Oct. 20, Watson will likely need close to the full 21-day window to complete his ramp-up process before the Browns would consider activating him from the PUP list. Despite having been out all season, Watson remains engaged with the Browns and has attended all meetings and has filled a mentorship role for Cleveland's two rookie quarterbacks, starter Dillon Gabriel and backup Shedeur Sanders. The 30-year-old remains under contract with the Browns through next season after inking a five-year, $230 million extension with Cleveland shortly after he was acquired from the Texans in March 2022. |

Jamari Thrash Jamari Thrash Targeted once in loss
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 7:28 AM
Thrash couldn't haul in his lone target in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10.
Analysis: Cedric Tillman's return from the injured list impacted several of Cleveland's depth wideouts including Thrash, who had multiple targets over the previous three games. The Browns' passing game is not at a point where it can feed multiple receivers with ample targets, meaning players like Thrash, Malachi Corley (one target) and Gage Larvadain (one) should not offer much fantasy value. |

Malachi Corley Malachi Corley Afforded one target in loss
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 7:12 AM
Corley failed to catch his lone target, had two carries for 32 yards and returned one kickoff for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10.
Analysis: Cleveland's passing attack under rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel isn't strong enough to support fringe receivers like Corley. Cedric Tillman's return from injury also impacted the depth wideouts Sunday and Corley's 20 snaps were in line with Jamari Thrash (22) and Gage Larvadain (18). Corley has been effective as a runner however, ripping off two 16-yard gains Sunday while averaging 18.5 yards over four carries this season. |

Jerome Ford Jerome Ford Garners one touch in loss
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 7:00 AM
Ford had one carry for one yard and failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10.
Analysis: Ford's fall behind rookie Dylan Sampson continued, as the veteran has just two carries and three receptions (five targets) over the last three weeks. He's also fallen out of consideration for return duties, which now belong to Sampson. |

Dylan Sampson Dylan Sampson Clear No. 2 back
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 6:47 AM
Sampson had two carries for minus-4 yards and caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets in Week 10. He also had four kickoff returns for 104 yards.
Analysis: The Browns' backfield clearly belongs to Quinshon Judkins, while Sampson has emerged as the No. 2 back ahead of veteran Jerome Ford. For the second consecutive game, Sampson was given more opportunities (22 snaps, three touches, three targets) than Ford (14, one, one). Cleveland has accepted its fate and is looking toward the future, which means a focus on youth for the remainder of a season. Should Judkins get injured, Sampson could earn more than just a handful of touches per game, but for now his fantasy utility is mainly limited to formats that value return yards. |

Cedric Tillman Cedric Tillman Two catches in return
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 5:27 PM
Tillman (hamstring) caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Tillman was the only Browns wide receiver other than Jerry Jeudy to record a catch in Sunday's loss. Jeudy and tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin all seem to be ahead of Tillman in the pecking order among Cleveland's pass catchers heading into Week 11 against the Ravens, but at least Tillman made it through unscathed in his first game since Week 4. The third-year wideout was activated from injured reserve Saturday. |

Harold Fannin Harold Fannin Four catches in Week 10 loss
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 4:17 PM
Fannin (hamstring) caught four of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Fannin hurt his hamstring Thursday but played through the injury and finished second on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards behind Jerry Jeudy. Fellow Browns tight end David Njoku scored his third touchdown of the season, while Fannin remains stuck on two touchdowns heading into a Week 11 home game against the Ravens. Fannin leads the team with 42 catches and 396 receiving yards, as the rookie third-round pick has been one of the few bright spots for the 2-7 Browns. |

David Njoku David Njoku Finds paydirt in Week 10 loss
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 4:14 PM
Njoku caught both of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Njoku's nine-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter was his third touchdown in Njoku's last four games. He remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option due to the emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring), who had four catches for 44 yards Sunday. Up next for Njoku and the Browns is a Week 11 home game against the Ravens. |
