The Cleveland Browns have built an exciting and explosive offense, and they could be a team that is heavily targeted during fantasy football drafts.

The Cleveland Browns are going to be the team that most fans of the NFL are going to watch during the 2019 season. Not only because they are expected to reach the playoffs, but also because they are expected to have an explosive offense.

Once Freddie Kitchens took over as the offensive play-caller during the second half of last season, the Browns offense went to another level. And Kitchens’ offense helped take Baker Mayfield’s game to the next level.

Now that Kitchens is entering his first full season as the offensive play-caller, along with the help of offensive coordinator Todd Monken, the hope is the offense in 2019 will replicate the success it had during the second half of last season.

But Kitchens will also have even more help for his offense in 2019 with the addition of Odell Beckham Jr. With the star wide receiver donning the orange and brown, it will create plenty of opportunities for the offense to make big plays.

Mayfield and Beckham have already built up some chemistry in the past, as the two worked out together last offseason. Once they can continue to build up their connection, they could become one of the most lethal quarterback-wide receiver duos in the NFL.

But even with Beckham, Mayfield showed last season that he likes to distribute the ball to multiple receivers, typically completing a pass to at least six receivers in most games.

Beckham’s presence will help open up more receivers for Mayfield and will create bigger windows to throw into. And with Mayfield’s pinpoint accuracy, there will be opportunities to complete passes all over the field.

With that said, here are five Cleveland Browns that should be on the radar for fantasy football drafts over the next couple of months.
