Taking a look at the Cleveland Browns players fantasy football owners should avoid this upcoming season.

As fantasy football drafts begin, team managers around the world are in full preparation mode, seeking the hidden treasures that can contribute to their team’s success. While every manager will map out which players they want the most ahead of time, a costly mistake is made when they fail to prepare to avoid the players they would rather see as part of their opposition.

Fantasy drafts never go completely as planned, and some spontaneous picks will always be made. Therefore, it is necessary to understand which possibly tempting players must be passed on entering the draft.

No current Cleveland Browns players are obvious standouts, so the majority of the Browns picked will either be backups or players that managers think will surprise. While there are several good options one can acquire from Cleveland, there are certain players who ought to be avoided in the heat of the moment during a fantasy draft.

Several factors contribute to their status as overrated fantasy players, including injuries, suspensions, and overall poor play or unreliability. But the common denominator with these Browns is that they will disappoint the fantasy participants who select them this season.
