Browns game status for Week 16 vs. the Bengals:

Martin Emerson Jr., David Njoku and Cedric Tillman - questionable

Shelby Harris - out

Related Players: Jordan Akins, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore

There are far better streamers available than Akins if Njoku is ruled out, even in a great matchup.

As for the WRs, Jeudy should continue to roll along as a WR3, regardless of Tillman's status.

Browns rule out WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) for Sunday vs.
Chiefs.
TE David Njoku (hamstring), LG Joel Bitonio (back), DT Mike Hall Jr. (knee), CB Myles Harden (tibia) listed as questionable.

Related Players: Jordan Akins, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore

Akins shouldn't be considered a streaming TE option if Njoku misses Sunday's game, as the team has already mentioned that they'll use a "tight end by committee" approach.

As for the WR group, we should expect things to remain top-heavy, with Jeudy operating as a fantasy WR2 and Moore as a low-end WR3.

Browns game status for Week 14:

Myles Harden, Juan Thornhill, Jamari Thrash are all listed as questionable.

Maurice Hurst, Sam Kamara, Cedric Tillman and Jed Wills are all out.

Related Players: Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore, David Njoku

Jeudy and Moore should continue to see more targets in a pass-heavy Jameis Winston-led offense. Jeudy should be considered a WR2, with Moore coming in as a low-end WR3.

Browns TE David Njoku missed practice today with his ankle injury. He missed 3 games with it earlier this season.

Related Players: Cedric Tillman, Jerry Jeudy, Jordan Akins

It would be a huge bummer if Njoku were forced to miss time after putting up great back-to-back performances sans Watson at quarterback. Jordan Akins would be interesting for deep leagues in this scenario, though he only crested 9.0 half-PPR points in one game during Njoku's absence.

According to multiple reports, the Bills are acquiring Amari Cooper from the Browns.

Buffalo will receive Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round pick while Cleveland will receive a 2025 third-round pick along with a 2026 seventh-round pick.

Cooper, 30, has caught 24 passes for 250 yards with two touchdowns this season. His fantasy production has been inconsistent so far, but that can probably be blamed on the poor play of quarterback Deshaun Watson. Last year Cooper finished with a line of 72-1,250-5, mostly without Watson under center. Cooper will eventually be locked in as the Bills WR1 and push players like Shakir, Coleman Kincaid and Knox further down the fantasy depth chart. It's easy to see Cooper having a chance to thrive with Allen as his QB. Meanwhile in Cleveland, Jeudy, Moore and Tillman will battle it out at the WR position with Njoku becoming more of a target at TE.

Browns run their first two-minute drills but without Deshaun Watson (rest day), Elijah Moore (walked off with trainer) and Jerry Jeudy (limited with knee). Winston vs second team D finds David Bell for diving TD.

It doesn't seem like anything major but Jeudy certainly doesn't need any setbacks as we look for a bounce-back season in fantasy. He is currently a WR6 in 4for4's rankings.

Still no Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward or DTR at today’s practice but Amari Cooper back after sitting out Wednesday with a rib injury.

Related Players: Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman

All signs point towards Joe Flacco starting at quarterback, which can't necessarily be taken as a positive for Cooper. Flacco consistently fed his running backs while keeping the ball around the line of scrimmage in his five game with the Jets last season. Cooper shouldn't be considered more than a WR3.

Rookie wide receiver Cedric Tillman had his best game in Denver, catching four passes for 55 yards.

Tillman and Dorian Thompson-Robinson were high school teammates, and the two got plenty of chances to build on their previous chemistry during training camp and the preseason, the story said. Tillman’s ascent is perhaps the most important development the receiving corps has seen in weeks, the story added. With DTR in doubt for this week because of a concussion, the story wondered if Tillman can continue his upswing with a new QB possibly playing this week. Tillman's five targets were a season high as well as the four catches and 55 yards. He's likely on your wire in typical leagues and may be worth a look if you're aiming to add to the position for the stretch run. However, quarterback play will likely be a big issue with Tillman and all the Brown WRs going forward.

Browns trade Donovan Peoples-Jones to Detroit for 6th round pick.

Related players: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond, Cedric Tillman, Marquise Goodwin

Peoples-Jones is just 24 but one can argue moves to a team with a more crowded receiver room than the one he came from. DPJ was the Browns WR3 but hasn't had nearly the impact he had in 2022. It would be tough to see DPJ having that impact on the Lions, however, one can argue there isn't much consistency behind St. Brown. DPJ will at least bring some size to the Lions and could possibly carve out a role in the red zone. As far as Cleveland goes, it could mean the rookie Tillman or Goodwin eventually see more snaps as the team's WR3.
