No. 4: Kareem Hunt, RB

We all know that Kareem Hunt is one of the most explosive backs from his time in Kansas City as he looks for a bigger role next season in Cleveland. A full season as being the No. 2 guy behind Nick Chubb could lead Hunt to a big pay-day next offseason.

While Hunt will be used to run the ball to keep Chubb fresh, look for Hunt to do most of his work as a pass a receiver out of the backfield, and don’t be surprised to see him line up in the slot at times next season.

No. 3: Jarvis Landry, WR

Jarvis Landry has been a steal for Cleveland after trading two mid and late-round draft picks to get him from Miami in 2018.  All he has gone on to do is catch 164 balls for 2,150 yards and 10 touchdowns in two seasons with the Browns.

Landry should flourish even more so in this new offense and like Hunt, don’t be surprised to see Landry move back to the slot at times where he dominated while a member of the Miami Dolphins from 2014-2017.

No. 2: Odell Beckham, WR

Odell Beckham most certainly has the talent to be No. 1 on this list but the production did not match from a season ago. Beckham could be the one player other than Baker Mayfield who benefits the most from a coaching change.

Even while injured and not in an offense tailored to his skill set, Beckham still managed to have 74 catches for 1,035 yards last season. Those numbers are sure to spike next year as he looks to get back to an elite level at the receiver position.

No. 1: Nick Chubb, RB

Nick Chubb may just be the best running back in the NFL right now as he dominated last season while playing against teams that geared up to stop him. Chubb finished last season with an unbelievable 1,494 yards rushing and eight touchdowns.

If Chubb can continue that dominance into next season, the Browns have a legitimate chance and making the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
