Cleveland Browns

Nick Chubb is worth drafting at his ADP of 98 as the consensus #86 overall player. With a projection of 13.2 carries and 1.8 catches per game, Chubb will see the ball enough to be relevant in most leagues. He leads Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman on the Browns' depth chart. The Browns have the 9th-best schedule for running backs.

Nyheim Hines isn't a great value at his ADP of 269, with an ECR of 429. Jeff Wilson Jr. (ADP 300, ECR 273) or Deuce Vaughn (ADP 297, ECR 279) might be a better value. At a projected workload of 1.8 carries and 0.9 receptions per game, Hines is not fantasy-relevant. He trails both Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford on the Browns' depth chart. The Browns have the 9th-best running back schedule.

Amari Cooper is the WR1 on the Browns, ahead of Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore. Ranked #20 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's an every week starter. He is projected for 1,119 yards and 6.2 TDs on 71.7 receptions, which is 36.4% of the total for WRs on the Browns. Cleveland has the 4th-best schedule for wide receivers. As the consensus #38 overall player, Cooper is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 49.

Picking Elijah Moore at his ADP of 243 should be an easy decision, compared to an ECR of 195. Moore is the WR3 for the Browns, trailing Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy. At #75 in our WR rankings, he won't usually be a fantasy starter. He's projected for 547 yards and 2.8 TDs on 44.7 receptions, for 22.7% of the workload for WRs on the Browns. The Browns have the 4th-best wide receiver schedule.

Deshaun Watson is the consensus #21 QB, and as such isn't worth drafting in 1QB leagues. In 2QB and superflex leagues, he's a fine choice for your second quarterback. Watson is projected to earn 48.8 of his 274 fantasy points by rushing. While that's a nice bonus, it isn't really key to his fantasy value. With a projection of 14.8 interceptions compared to 23.8 passing touchdowns, he has the ability to ruin a fantasy week with multiple picks in a game.

Jameis Winston is not the starting QB in Cleveland. As such, you shouldn't spend a draft pick on him in most leagues. Winston is expected to earn 14% of his projected 21 fantasy points by rushing. While running is in his wheelhouse, it's not enough to significantly help his floor. With a projection of 1.4 interceptions compared to 1.7 passing touchdowns, Winston comes with some significant interceptino risk.

The Browns' starting QB is Deshaun Watson - not Tyler Huntley. Without a starting job, he's not really worth drafting.Huntley is projected to earn 0.0 of his 0 fantasy points by rushing. He's a more traditional passing QB. Projected for 0 interceptions compared to 0 passing TDs, he isn't not likely to melt down often.

The market has Jerome Ford correctly valued at an ADP of 124, compared to an overall ECR of 127. Projected to carry the ball 7.9 times and catch 1.9 passes per game, Ford has limited potential. He's second among Browns running backs, behind Nick Chubb. The Browns have the 9th-best schedule for running backs.

As the consensus #214 overall player, D'Onta Foreman is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 202. With a projection of 8.4 touches per game (7.8 carries and 0.7 receptions), Foreman won't be a reliable source of fantasy points. He has some competition on Cleveland's depth chart, where he trails both Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford. The Browns have the 9th-best running back schedule.

With a projection of 2.2 carries and 0.1 catches per game, Pierre Strong Jr. is safe to leave on the waiver wire. He trails both Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford on the Browns' depth chart.

Jerry Jeudy is the WR2 for the Browns, behind Amari Cooper. At #58 in our WR rankings, he will ride the fantasy bench most weeks. He's projected to catch 61.3 receptions for 900 yards and 4.0 TDs, which is 31.2% of the workload for WRs on the Browns. Cleveland has the 4th-best wide receiver schedule. As the consensus #140 overall player, Jeudy is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 136.

Cedric Tillman is not a focus of the the Browns' offense as their WR4. As the consensus #101 WR, he's not really fantasy-relevant. He is projected for 156 yards and 0.9 TDs on 12.3 receptions, which is 6.3% of the total for WRs on the Browns. The Browns have the 4th-best wide receiver schedule.

Thrash might see limited usage as the 5th-ranked WR on the Browns. As the consensus #140 WR, he's not a real fantasy asset. He's projected for 0 yards and 0 TDs on 0 receptions, which is 0% of the workload for Browns WRs. Cleveland has the 4th-best schedule for WRs.

Bell is not a focus of the the Browns' offense as their WR6. At #161 in our WR rankings, he's not worth a draft pick in most leagues. He's projected to catch 6.7 receptions for 70 yards and 0.3 TDs, which is 3.4% of the total for WRs on the Browns. Cleveland has the 4th-best wide receiver schedule.

As a top-9 TE, David Njoku is one of the few tight ends you can really feel good about drafting. With a projection of 69.9 receptions for 821 yards and 6.3 touchdowns, Njoku is one of only 8 TEs expected to record 800 yards. The market has David Njoku correctly valued at an ADP of 92, compared to an overall ECR of 89. The Browns have the 10th-best schedule for tight ends.

As the consensus TE71, Jordan Akins is best left on the waiver wire. Akins is projected for 127 yards and 1.0 TDs on 13.1 receptions. Akins will be playing behind David Njoku at TE in Cleveland.

Donovan Peoples-Jones is correctly valued at his ADP of 256 as the consensus #211 overall player. Peoples-Jones is the second-best WR on the Browns, behind Amari Cooper. At #80 in our WR rankings, he's not a real fantasy asset. Peoples-Jones is projected for 664 yards and 3.5 TDs on 44.5 receptions, which is 26.8% of the total for WRs on the Browns. The Browns have the 9th-worst wide receiver schedule.

Drafting D'Ernest Johnson is an easy choice at his ADP of 279 as the consensus #228 overall player. With a projection of 2.1 carries and 0.6 catches per game, Johnson is safe to leave on the waiver wire. He has some competition on Cleveland's depth chart, where he trails both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Cleveland has the 10th-best running back schedule.

Jakeem Grant Sr. is not a focus of the the Browns' offense as their WR5. As the consensus #167 WR, he's not worth a draft pick in most leagues. He is projected for 95 yards and 0.5 TDs on 8.0 receptions, which is 4.1% of the total for Browns WRs. The Browns have the 9th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Jacoby Brissett won't begin the season as the Browns' starting QB - that honor belongs to Deshaun Watson. As such, you shouldn't spend a draft pick on him in most leagues. Brissett is expected to earn 12% of his projected 180 fantasy points by rushing. While rushing is in his toolbox, it's not a major source of his fantasy value. Projected for 9.4 interceptions compared to 15.5 passing TDs, he carries more interception risk than is comfortable.
