Cleveland Browns Roster Prediction: Wide Receiver (5)The Cleveland Browns are pretty solid at wide receiver even if they are a bit top heavy. Their top two guys are coming off 1,000-yard seasons ‚— and that was even with the struggles they had on offense.

Starters: Odell Beckham, Jr., Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones, KhaDarel Hodge

Odell Beckham, Jr. and Jarvis Landry were both solid last season but neither were too thrilled with their output. OBJ was especially bothered by how he played and after having surgery to correct a core muscle injury, he’s refocused himself and is all-in on 2020. Beckham is trying to silence his critics and so far in camp, it looks as though he’s ready to.

Landry might not wow anyone with his skill set but he simply makes plays. He’s consistent and durable (and in this camp, that’s exactly what the team needs). Behind him will be Rashard Higgins. Rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones has looked solid for a sixth-round pick but Higgins is a vet in this league and his rapport with Baker Mayfield is back on display during camp.

Lastly, there’s KhaDarel Hodge. He was behind Damion Ratley but has separated himself with a solid camp that included him hauling in a couple of long passes. Cleveland likely sticks with just these five as Kevin Stefanski has shown more of a preference to go two-deep at receiver in most of his sets — meaning the depth won’t be as dire of a need as it has been in the past.
