Link to story Browns | Quinshon Judkins likely to play in Week 2 Sat Sep 13, 10:52 AM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2's game versus the Baltimore Ravens, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: Fellow rookie RB Dylan Sampson is still going to have at least a 'what the heck' flex worthy role as a receiver out of the backfield. We'll see if the Browns ease Judkins, a powerful runner who gets stronger as the game goes on, into action in his debut. We're taking a wait-and-see approach with Judkins this week against the Ravens. |

OT Jack Conklin (eye, elbow) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) fully participated in practice but is listed as questionable. OG Joel Bitonio (non-injury), OT Dawand Jones (knee) and CB Denzel Ward (Achilles, shoulder) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Browns | Full practice for Quinshon Judkins Fri Sep 12, 03:35 PM
Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 12, but is listed as questionable for Week 2.
Link to story Browns | Quinshon Judkins questionable for Sunday Fri Sep 12, 01:10 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: Even if Judkins is active, he won't play a large role, and the Browns have a tough matchup against the Ravens. There is some possibility of a suspension as the league hasn't wound up their investigation of the domestic violence incident that froze the contract negotiation process between Judkins camp and the Browns. Hold onto Judkins as long as bench size allows, but don't expect much if anything this weekend. |
Browns | Quinshon Judkins fully practices Thu Sep 11, 04:35 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 11.
| Footballguys view: Judkins could play in Week 2 against the Ravens. Thursday was his first practice with the team in over a month. Judkins is a two-down banger who can help the Browns offense. Dylan Sampson is still likely to get work as a pass-catching back for the Browns if/when Judkins gets on the field. |
Browns | Thursday practice report for Browns Thu Sep 11, 04:34 PM
Cleveland Browns OT Jack Conklin (eye, elbow), DT Michael Hall Jr. (knee), OT Dawand Jones (knee) and CB Denzel Ward (Achilles, shoulder) were limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 11. OG Joel Bitonio (non-injury) and RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) fully participated in practice.

Browns | Quinshon Judkins progressing Thu Sep 11, 12:29 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins is progressing towards playing on Sunday, according to a report by ESPN.com's Daniel Oyefusi. 'We'll take it day to day to see how he continues to progress in practice. It takes some extra work to make sure that we catch him up after a Wednesday practice, but Thursdays and Fridays are really pivotal days throughout the week,' Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees said.
| Footballguys view: Judkins has missed training camp and hasn't practiced with the team since his arrest in July. The Browns could have him out there against the Ravens in Week 2, but his workload should be limited. Even if Judkins plays, fellow rookie RB Dylan Sampson should be involved enough to be a 'what the heck' flex. |
Browns | Wednesday practice report for Browns Wed Sep 10, 05:24 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 10. OG Joel Bitonio (non-injury), OT Jack Conklin (eye, elbow), DT Michael Hall Jr. (knee), OT Dawand Jones (knee) and CB Denzel Ward (Achilles, shoulder) were limited during practice.

Browns | Quinshon Judkins misses practice Wed Sep 10, 05:18 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 10.
| Footballguys view: Judkins is expected to practice the rest of the week as he's meeting with league officials. The Browns have fellow rookie RB Dylan Sampson who led the team in carries last week and had a good day as a receiver out of the backfield. If Judkins doesn't play in Week 2, Sampson has flex appeal with his role. |
Browns | Report: Quinshon Judkins Expected To Practice Wednesday Tue Sep 9, 03:35 PM
According to Fred Greetham of The Orange and Brown Report, RB Quinshon Judkins is expected to practice for the first time on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: The Browns and Judkins finally reached an agreement on a four-year deal last weekend. Profootballtalk.com reported the NFL will interview Judkins this week in connection with the pending Personal Conduct Policy investigation. But while the case is pending, Judkins is not expected to be placed on paid leave. Instead, he'll be available to practice and to play until the case is resolved. We'll continue to watch this one closely, but Judkins could be available to play against the Ravens in Week 2. |
Browns | Coach impressed with Harold Fannin Mon Sep 8, 04:33 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. had an impressive performance during the Week 1 game, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, the rookie hauled in seven of his nine targets for 63 yards, while even adding a three-yard rush, good for 13.6 points in PPR formats. At that pace, he would clear 1,000 receiving yards in his first NFL season. Fannin, along with Tyler Warren of the Indianapolis Colts, are the first rookie tight ends to produce at least seven receptions in their respective NFL debuts since 1987. David Njoku is the TE1 in Cleveland, but Fannin's potential upside makes him an intriguing waiver-wire candidate. |
Browns | Stefanski Taking Wait-And-See Approach With Quinshon Judkins Mon Sep 8, 03:57 PM
The Browns finally signed second-round pick Quinshon Judkins this weekend, and the plan for the running back to make his debut in the regular season came up in head coach Kevin Stefanski's media session on Monday. Stefanski was asked how likely it is that Judkins will play against the Ravens in Week 2. "We'll see," Stefanski said. "Gotta get through this week of practice. I don't know."
| Footballguys view: Judkins' signing was delayed after he was arrested this summer, but prosecutors have since dropped the domestic violence charge, and Judkins agreed to terms with the Browns on Saturday. The NFL is also set to meet with Judkins as part of its investigation into his arrest. Any league discipline could impact the Browns' plans for getting Judkins his first game action. We'll be watching for more. |

Browns | Raheim Sanders plays minor role in Week 1 Mon Sep 8, 01:28 AM
Cleveland Browns RB Raheim Sanders carried three times for three yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Link to story Browns | David Njoku finishes with 37 yards Sun Sep 7, 05:18 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku caught three passes for 37 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Njoku put up big numbers with Joe Flacco in Cleveland two years ago, so this was a big letdown in a game where Flacco threw for almost 300 yards. Rookie Harold Fannin Jr. is getting the bulk of the designed tight end targets because of his ability after the catch. Njoku isn't a clear fantasy TE1 heading into a tough matchup against Baltimore. |

Browns | Cedric Tillman reaches end zone Sun Sep 7, 05:14 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman caught five passes for 52 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He was targeted eight times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Tillman had a costly drop that ended the Browns chances to win. This is one of the easiest matchups of the year for him, so Tillman probably isn't a waiver wire pickup except in deep leagues. |
Browns | Harold Fannin catches seven passes Sun Sep 7, 05:02 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught seven passes for 63 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He was targeted nine times during the game.
| Footballguys view: The Browns have been excited about Fannin since they took him in the third round of April's draft, and nothing this summer dispelled the notion that they would feature him as a rookie. Fannin was set up for run after catch opportunities a la Jonnu Smith. He's worth a pickup if you need a tight end. If Fannin has another strong result next week against the Ravens, then he's probably here to stay. |
Browns | Jerry Jeudy leads team in receiving Sun Sep 7, 04:57 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught five passes for 66 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He was targeted eight times during the game.

Browns | Jerome Ford quiet in Week 1 Sun Sep 7, 04:55 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford rushed for eight yards on six carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.
Link to story Browns | Dylan Sampson a big part of offense in Week 1 Sun Sep 7, 04:46 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson rushed for 29 yards on 12 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. He also caught all eight of his targets in the passing game for 64 yards.
| Footballguys view: Sampson outplayed veteran Jerome Ford, but his outlook for next week is clouded by the potential return of Quinshon Judkins after the second round pick signed his rookie deal yesterday. The Browns offense is also still low wattage, but the Bengals defense is even worse. Sampson will be an add in many leagues, but he is only a what-the-heck flex against the Ravens next week if Judkins is active. |
Browns | Joe Flacco throws one TD, two INTs Sun Sep 7, 04:45 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Joe Flacco went 31-for-45 for 290 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: Flacco was serviceable, and he doesn't have the most stellar group of wide receivers, but the Bengals are the worst defense he'll face this year. He's only a pickup in very deep leagues, but he can support the value of multiple pass catchers in this offense while the running game is stuck in neutral. |

Link to story Browns | Quinshon Judkins to meet with league officials Sun Sep 7, 10:51 AM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins is scheduled to meet with the National Football League during the upcoming week regarding its investigation into his domestic violence incident. However, he is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2 versus the Baltimore Ravens, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Browns running game has fizzled against a vulnerable Bengals defense, so as long as Judkins is active, he should get a big opportunity against the Ravens in Week 2. |
Browns | CLE could get roster exemption for Quinshon Judkins Sat Sep 6, 11:49 AM
The Cleveland Browns are expected to receive a temporary roster exemption from the National Football League for RB Quinshon Judkins, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: This is considered to be a standard procedure for players who missed camp and would allow Judkins to practice with the Browns while getting acclimated to the organization. The exemption is unrelated to the league's ongoing investigation into a domestic violence incident involving Judkins, which could result in NFL disciplinary action even though all formal charges have been dropped. |
Browns | Quinshon Judkins officially under contract Sat Sep 6, 10:29 AM
The Cleveland Browns signed RB Quinshon Judkins to a fully guaranteed contract Saturday, Sept. 6, according to multiple sources.

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett (hip) is practicing Friday, Sept. 5.
| Footballguys view: Any hope that Joe Burrow and company might avoid Garrett has evaporated. The Browns defense is a tough out, although their offense probably can't exploit the Bengals defensive weakness to keep Burrow on the sidelines with long drives. Still, expect Garrett to be in Burrow's grill all day and potentially affect the outcome of the game and fantasy matchups. |

Browns | Cedric Tillman fully practices Wed Sep 3, 05:30 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (thumb) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 3.
| Footballguys view: Tillman is good to go for Week 1. Playing the Bengals to open the season, we're curious to see how much work anyone not named Jerry Jeudy or David Njoku get in the Browns offense. With QB Joe Flacco slinging the rock, and with a matchup against a weak Bengals defense, Tillman might be in consideration as a 'what the heck' flex in deeper leagues. |
Browns | Jerome Ford listed as starter Wed Sep 3, 10:12 AM
Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford is listed as the starter at running back on the team's depth chart.
| Footballguys view: Ford is the starter over rookie Dylan Sampson, and Fantasy GMs need to take note. With QB Joe Flacco under center, Ford could get a lot of checkdown passes in addition to work as a runner. The situation is fluid, and things could change when Quinshon Judkins is available in the coming weeks. |

Browns | Could Quinshon Judkins Sign With Browns Soon? Mon Sep 1, 03:44 PM
On Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer provided an encouraging response to a reader question about Quinshon Judkins' status: "I believe Judkins will be back with the Browns soon, possibly even sometime this week as they prepare for the Bengals. If he makes it back early enough in the week, he could contribute some in the opener."
| Footballguys view: As PFT's Mike Florio notes, some believe that if Judkins shows up before the league resolves his Personal Conduct Policy case, he'll be placed on paid leave. Regardless, the first game is six days away. Even if Judkins signs today -- and isn't put on paid leave -- it's hard to imagine him being ready to play on Sunday without getting a single rep in training camp. That doesn't mean he won't have value over time. Fantasy investors heading into their final drafts with room on their rosters could do worse than drafting him late as a contingent-upside play. |
Browns | Isaiah Bond still subject to NFL discipline Sun Aug 31, 11:43 AM
The National Football League is still reviewing the sexual assault case of Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond, even though there are no longer pending charges, according to league spokesman Brian McCarthy. He remains subject to NFL discipline, although no decision appears imminent.
Link to story Browns | Quinshon Judkins still subject to NFL discipline Sun Aug 31, 11:26 AM
The National Football League is still reviewing the misdemeanor domestic battery case of Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins, even though there are no longer pending charges, according to league spokesman Brian McCarthy. He remains subject to discipline from the league, although no decision appears imminent.
| Footballguys view: This is at least one of the reasons that Judkins hasn't signed yet. It's not clear when the league will conclude their investigation. Judkins camp and the Browns are also going to have to find a common ground to finalize changes to the contract that are called for in light of Judkins domestic violence incident and any league response to it. It's a stretch to imagine Judkins being ready to play in Week 1, and the impact he can make after that is subject to numerous variables, including the play of fellow rookie Dylan Sampson and passing down back Jerome Ford. If you take Judkins, you will have to hold him for an indefinite number of weeks before you even know what you have. |
