Cleveland Browns: What players should you draft to your fantasy team?
By Tyler Hise
The Cleveland Browns haven’t been a hotbed for fantasy football talent, but has that changed now that their roster has been retooled?
The Cleveland Browns have made plenty of moves this off-season to improve their roster. In years past, they weren’t exactly the place to look for fantasy football talent, but this year may be different. Here, we take a look at some potential players to keep an eye on in your upcoming fantasy drafts.
We start by looking at the Brown’s receiving corp. The two obvious names that come to mind are Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon. Landry was a top-15 fantasy receiver last year (Assuming non-PPR, 0.1/RecYD, and 6/TD). That was with Jay Cutler at the helm and a below average run game and offensive line. Meaning that even though teams knew the Dolphins were going to try and throw to Landry, he still produced.
This year, he has Tyrod Taylor throwing the ball, a better run game to take the pressure of the pass and another Pro-Bowl receiver for defenses to worry about, look for Landry to still put up some good fantasy numbers even though his targets may drop a little, I like Landry and a second fantasy receiver or flex option.
