<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Championship week is here for many fantasy football leagues and the pressure is on to finish the season on top. If you&#8217;ve made this far congratulations but now it&#8217;s time to finish the year as the champion. To do so you will need to set the most optimal lineup possible for week 17. We are here to help push your team across the finish line with our updated week 17 fantasy football rankings. Before you check out our rankings let&#8217;s first look at the biggest injuries we are monitoring this week.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CoopAm00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-12-28_pfr">Amari Cooper</a> &#8211; </strong>All eyes are on Cooper after his dominating performance last week. For many Cooper single-handedly carried you to the championship game after putting up 265 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns in week 16. Unfortunately, Cooper is now dealing with a heel injury that may keep him out of the Thursday night game vs. the Jets. We will know later today whether he is good to go or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JacoJo01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-12-28_pfr">Josh Jacobs</a> &#8211; </strong>Jacobs missed last week with a quad injury and has not been present at practice this week. If he is out again this week <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WhitZa01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-12-28_pfr">Zamir White</a> will be a popular option to start as the Raiders have a plus matchup against the Colts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LawrTr00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-12-28_pfr">Trevor Lawrence</a> &#8211;</strong> It&#8217;s been a rough couple of weeks for Lawrence who is now dealing with a shoulder injury. He was seen at practice on Thursday but in a limited fashion. If Lawrence can&#8217;t go this week you should downgrade the offensive threats on the Jaguars.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re excited to release our updated week 13 fantasy football rankings below.  Week 13 in the NFL is a bye-heavy week with six total teams who are not playing (Bills, Bears, Raiders, Vikings, Giants Ravens).  It&#8217;s likely your fantasy team will need to be tweaked so rankings become more important than ever.  Before you dive into our fantasy football rankings let&#8217;s first go over some of the key injuries in week 13.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CoopAm00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-29_pfr">Amari Cooper</a> &#8211; </strong>Cooper is dealing with an injury to the ribs and as of now, it doesn&#8217;t look serious.  X-rays came back negative which is a good sign moving forward.  Still sore ribs can be tough to deal with so it&#8217;s important to monitor Cooper throughout the week.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/O/OlavCh00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-29_pfr">Chris Olave</a> &#8211; </strong>Olave left the week 12 contest with a concussion and did not return.  He is also dealing with a hand injury that is worth monitoring.  Concussions are always tricky to come back from the next week so be sure to follow any updates on Olave.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GoedDa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-29_pfr">Dallas Goedert</a> &#8211; </strong>Goedert missed last week&#8217;s battle with the Bills due to a forearm injury.  Early reports suggest Goedert is pushing to play in week 13 vs. the 49ers.  That would be a big boost to the Eagles offense which will need all their weapons against the stout San Francisco defense.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Our weekly fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em series features your best bets at the skill positions and players you should avoid. We also include our start of the week for the player who is guaranteed to produce that week. Below is our week 11 edition and as per usual I picked these players based on the Half-PPR scoring system. Be sure to check out our <a href="https://profootballmania.com/fantasy-football-rankings/">fantasy football </a>section for fantasy football advice and much more!</em></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Quarterbacks</h4>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Start &#8216;Em</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GoffJa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jared Goff</a> (vs. Chi) &#8211; </strong>Jared Goff&#8217;s numbers haven&#8217;t been gaudy this season but he has been consistent at the quarterback position.  Goff ranks 12th in total fantasy points for quarterbacks which includes his BYE week.  He had an impressive showing in the week 10 win vs. the Chargers where he had 333 yards and 2 touchdowns.   Up next Goff will face the Bears at home and this is setup for Goff to have his best performance of the season.  I can see Goff throwing for 3 touchdowns in this one as the Lions cruise.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sit &#8216;Em</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MayfBa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Baker Mayfield</a> (@ SF) &#8211; </strong>Mayfield has been solid for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this year.  It is somewhat surprising as many including myself, thought he would be benched by this point of the season.  With that said you will need to sit Mayfield this week as he is set to face the 49ers on the road.  San Francisco bounced back last week in a 34-3 throttling at Jacksonville.  More importantly, the defense looked like its old self constantly pressuring <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LawrTr00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a>.  Mayfield will be under that same pressure all game long and the Bucs offense is in for a rough afternoon.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Running Backs</h4>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Start &#8216;Em</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ChanTy01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr">Ty Chandler</a> (@ Den) &#8211; </strong>Chandler was a priority on the waiver wire this week for a reason.  Fellow running back <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MattAl01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr">Alexander Mattison</a> is likely to miss this matchup which paves the way for Chandler.  He will get to face the Broncos defense which is allowing the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.  Fire up Chandler this week as he is in line for a big game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sit &#8216;Em</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MixoJo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr">Joe Mixon</a> (@ Bal) &#8211; </strong>Mixon and the Bengals are set to face an angry Ravens team on Thursday night.  The Ravens had a surprising collapse against the Browns last week and will be looking to bounce back vs. their division rival.  The last time they met Mixon was held in check vs. this Ravens defense.  I expect more of the same tonight for Mixon and the Bengals ground game.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Wide Receivers</h4>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Start &#8216;Em</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SmitDe07.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeVonta Smith</a> (@ KC) &#8211; </strong>The Super Bowl rematch is the game of the week and it should be another high-scoring affair.  Kansas City will no doubt prioritize locking down <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=override,BrowAJ00&amp;amp;amp;search=A.J.+Brown&amp;amp;amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr">A.J. Brown</a> which will give more opportunities for Smith in the passing game.  Keep in mind the Eagles also likely be without tight end <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GoedDa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr">Dallas Goedert</a> who is dealing with a forearm injury.  This means more of a target share for Smith who has a touchdown in back-to-back games.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sit &#8216;Em</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CoopAm00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Amari Cooper</a> (vs. Pit) &#8211; </strong>Amari Cooper is in for a frustrating game vs. the Steelers.  Cooper has had a nice season thus far and is in the top 12 in receiving yards with 715.  Unfortunately for him and the Browns offense, <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WatsDe00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Deshaun Watson</a> is set to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.  The loss of Watson will no doubt hurt the Browns passing attack as they will rely more than ever on their stellar defense.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Tight Ends</h4>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Start &#8216;Em</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/K/KmetCo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Cole Kmet</a> (@ Det)</strong> &#8211; Cole Kmet owners will be happy to see starting quarterback <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FielJu00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Justin Fields</a> back in action for the Bears this week.  Backup quarterback <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BageTy00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tyson Bagent</a> filled in admirably for Chicago but this offense is more dynamic with Fields at the helm.  Kmet should find success in the passing game as the Bears are likely to be playing from behind on the road vs. the Lions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sit &#8216;Em </strong> </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ConkTy00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr">Tyler Conklin</a> (@ Buf) &#8211; </strong>Conklin had his best game of the season last week in the loss vs. the Raiders.  He had 70 yards on 7 receptions including a 27-yard catch and run.  Don&#8217;t expect that to continue this week when the Jets head to Buffalo.  Conklin was held to just 2 yards on 1 reception when these teams met in week 1.  The Bills are in desperate need of a win and they will get it this week.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Start of the Week</h4>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ConnJa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr">James Conner</a> (@ Hou) </strong>&#8211; Conner had no issues taking on the full-time role for the Cardinals last week.  In his return from the IR, Conner had 73 rushing yards on 16 carries.  Conner certainly looked like his old self and I expect even better numbers this week vs. the Texans.  This one has the makings of a shootout and you could see last week the impact of <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MurrKy00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-11-16_pfr">Kyler Murray</a> returning had for the Cardinals.  Lock in Conner this week as a must-start as he is set for a big day.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the Cleveland Browns decided to go all-in on quarterback <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WatsDe00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-08-03_pfr">Deshaun Watson</a> it was a big risk.  The former Texans quarterback missed the entire 2021 season due to legal issues in which several women accused him of misconduct.  The Browns knew a suspension was looming but still decided to give Watson a massive contract to come to Cleveland.  When Watson finally returned in 2022 you could see the rust in his game.  He finally started to look like his old self during the latter part of the season but is it enough to carry the team going forward?  Let&#8217;s examine that further and offer a record prediction for the Browns 2023-2024 season.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Good</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s hard to believe the running back <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ChubNi00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-08-03_pfr">Nick Chubb</a> is still often overlooked as one of the league&#8217;s best.  It may be due to his quiet personality and business-like work ethic.  You don&#8217;t hear much from Chubb off the field but on it, he is wrecking ball terrorizing defenses.  Chubb is coming off his best year in Cleveland where he ran for 1,525 yards and 13 total touchdowns.  Even with Watson back, Chubb is the focal point of the Browns offense and he keeps improving every year.  In a year where the running back position is front in center, Chubb has shown he is worth every penny of his $36.6 million dollar contract.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Bad</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Former Dallas Cowboys receiver <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CoopAm00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-08-03_pfr">Amari Cooper</a> was brought in by Cleveland last year to be their #1.  For the most part, Cooper impressed and was able to play in all 17 games for the Browns.  Cooper needed more help this offseason and the Browns decided to take a flyer on <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MoorEl00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;amp;utm_campaign=2023-08-03_pfr">Elijah Moore</a>.  Moore flamed out of New York after two disappointing seasons with the Jets.  He will now be expected to produce in a large role for Cleveland but there a plenty of question marks on if he can.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Outside of Cooper and Moore the Browns will hope for more improvement from <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PeopDo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-08-03_pfr">Donovan Peoples-Jones</a> next season.  Peoples-Jones had a career-high 839 receiving yards last year for the Browns.  Still, I would&#8217;ve liked to see the Browns address the wide receiver position more last offseason.  As a whole, this group is still below average and will need big years from Moore and Peoples-Jones to be competitive.   </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Prediction</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a make-or-break year for head coach Kevin Stefanski.  He was recently listed on our <a href="https://profootballmania.com/2023/06/02/nfl-coaches-on-the-hot-seat-right-now/">coaches on the hot seat</a> feature going into next season.  It really all comes down to how Deshaun Watson performs in year 2.  If he can recapture his old form the Browns will be competitive.  I just don&#8217;t think we will see that version of Watson going forward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>2023 Record: 5-12 (4th in the Division)</strong></p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Latest takeaways from the Steelers-Brown contest</h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By: Jake Rajala</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Deshaun Watson-less Cleveland Browns were defeated by their archnemesis in the Pittsburgh Steelers last night. The Browns possess a fine 2-1 record, while the Steelers dropped to 1-2 on the season. With that said, I&#8217;m going to untwine five takeaways from the Steelers-Browns showdown.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Is <a href="https://twitter.com/NickChubb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NickChubb</a> the best RB in the game? ? <a href="https://t.co/1FhihXhBS6">pic.twitter.com/1FhihXhBS6</a></p>&mdash; NFL (@NFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1573292345725841408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 23, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nick Chubb show</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Browns RB1, Nick Chubb, certainly spewed havoc on the Steelers defense that was without T.J. Watt. Chubb ousted 23 carries, 113 rushing yards, and 1 touchdown on TNF. At this point, he&#8217;s collected 341 rushing yds, 4 rushing TDs, and averaged 5.5 YPC. He holds a monster 88.4 grade by <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/nick-chubb/45783">PFF </a>on the season, too. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Devin Bush and Myles Jack</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We need commissioner Gordon, to tell the truth, that Devin Bush still stinks. He had six tackles against the Browns, but he hasn&#8217;t been anywhere near lethal in 2022. PFF has given Bush a lousy 48.8 grade for his 2022 output at this point. The veteran LB Myles Jack hasn&#8217;t been helpful, as well (a 60.3 grade by PFF this season). </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">WHAT A TACKLE BY DEVIN BUSH ? <a href="https://t.co/AQKziV7cO6">https://t.co/AQKziV7cO6</a></p>&mdash; Brian Y (@byysports) <a href="https://twitter.com/byysports/status/1573140288364810241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 23, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Amari Cooper</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Kevin Stefanski&#8217;s plan is proceeding as expected. </strong>Besides Chubb looking like a threat from the RB spot, WR Amari Cooper flashed excellence by hauling in 7 catches for 101 yds (averaging 14.4 YPC) and a TD. Let&#8217;s not forget that the former Cowboys WR garnered 9 grabs for 101 yds and a TD the week prior. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">COOOOOOOP! ?<br><br>Amari Cooper scores his second touchdown in as many games! <a href="https://t.co/w46CJVVqCQ">pic.twitter.com/w46CJVVqCQ</a></p>&mdash; PFF CLE Browns (@PFF_Browns) <a href="https://twitter.com/PFF_Browns/status/1573110884964130817?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 23, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Diontae Johnson</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Steelers wideout Diontae Johnson wasn&#8217;t a dud with his 8 grabs for 84 yards last night. Johnson has registered 21 catches for 196 yards on the 2022 season thus far. <strong>Furthermore, he&#8217;s garnered at least 10 targets in each match-up</strong>. After inking a two-year contract extension last month, the Steelers WR is set to be a free agent in the 2025 off-season. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jacoby Brissett</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jacoby Brissett may compete at the over-glorified QB spot, but he was still a sharp figure for the Browns last night. He unveiled 2 passing touchdowns, 220 passing yards, and blatantly took care of the football with zero turnovers. I&#8217;m positive that Browns fans are delighted with the improvement in Brissett&#8217;s performance from a week ago. </p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What is the biggest weakness for the Browns?</h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By: Ivan Mulinder</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If the Cleveland Browns were to start the 2022 season now, they would have 3 weaknesses in their roster that could limit their season to 9-10 wins (even with Deshaun Watson playing all 17 games). These weaknesses are:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>Wide Receiver</li><li>Defensive End</li><li>Defensive Tackle</li></ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Wide Receiver</span></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Browns WR1 is Amari Cooper, who is a very good Wide Receiver. In 2021, the Cowboys didn&#8217;t use him to his full potential, but he was still 12th in receiving touchdowns and gained 865 yards on 68 receptions. He had 8.3 yards per target and a catch % of 65.4%. When he has played in most of the games in a season he has consistently gained over 1000+ receiving yards. His PFF receiving grade last season was 73.9. Deshaun Watson with Amari Cooper should be a great combination, the problem is the Browns don&#8217;t have any great wide receiver talent below Amari Cooper. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Amari Cooper won the Dallas Cowboys this football game back in October.<br><br>Go ahead, cut him. <a href="https://t.co/agbc4NHJDH">pic.twitter.com/agbc4NHJDH</a></p>&mdash; Michael Bier (@MichaelJBier) <a href="https://twitter.com/MichaelJBier/status/1490822128249479168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 7, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Donovan People-Jones is their WR2 currently. He had 3 touchdowns, 597 yards on 34 receptions with a catch % of 61.5%, 11.6 yards per target, and a PFF receiving grade of 67. DPJ is a promising young wide receiver who Watson should elevate further, but that is conjecture at the moment.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">David Bell, the Browns wide receiver drafted in Round 3 at pick 99 from Purdue, is highly regarded by the Browns Front Office, but he&#8217;s still a rookie. The Browns need to add another quality wide receiver and the obvious target is <strong>Will Fuller</strong>. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The NFL is airing it out today. Will Fuller is on a 6 game TD streak ?<br> <a href="https://t.co/7kDBn4rOY0">pic.twitter.com/7kDBn4rOY0</a></p>&mdash; Tommy Mo (@2on1FFB) <a href="https://twitter.com/2on1FFB/status/1325531663548309504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 8, 2020</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Will Fuller was playing with Deshaun Watson in 2020 and in 11 games he scored 8 touchdowns with 879 yards on 53 receptions and a catch % of 70.7%. His PFF receiving grade was 85. The problem with Will Fuller is he&#8217;s injury-prone, missing virtually all of last season with a broken thumb. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Browns have an excellent Quarterback in Deshaun Watson. The Bengals and Chiefs have shown what is possible with a top 5 QB with excellent receivers and an average defense. Let&#8217;s remind ourselves of Watson&#8217;s 2020 statistics:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>4,823 passing yards which was 1st in the NFL</li><li>33 passing touchdowns which was 7th in the NFL</li><li>70.2% completion rate which is excellent</li><li>1.3% interception %</li><li>PFF overall grade of 92.5 and a passing grade of 91.2</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Browns have two very good Tight Ends in David Njoku and Harrison Bryant, but their receiving threat needs another quality addition if they are to emulate the Bengals and Chiefs successes who both had glaring holes in Defense. The Browns have 2 glaring holes in their Defense.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Defensive End</span></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Defensive End Room in Cleveland is similar to that of their Wide Receiver Room in that they have a great No1, but nothing great below him. Myles Garrett at the LDE position is outstanding. Chase Winovich is the top choice at RDE. Chase Winovich last season had a PFF run-blocking grade of 67.2 and pass-rushing grade of 48.9. His best year was in 2020 when he had 85 combined tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, and 5.5 sacks. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behind Chase is rookie Alex Wright (who was their Round 3 pick at 78 in the Draft). Behind Myles Garrett is Stephen Weatherly. His grades last season were 6 tackles for loss, 7 QB hits, and a PFF pass-rush grade of 58.9 with a run-blocking grade of 49. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Browns need <strong>Jadeveon Clowney </strong>back. In 2021 playing for the Browns he had 11 sacks, 19 QB hits, and 11 tackles for loss. He&#8217;s clearly a step up from the Browns backup defensive ends and would make the Edge Room good, with Grant Delpit and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah adding further potential at blitzing.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">2-Minute Drill: Jadeveon Clowney is officially a Cleveland Brown ? <a href="https://t.co/ovP0EtLbRi">pic.twitter.com/ovP0EtLbRi</a></p>&mdash; Cleveland Browns (@Browns) <a href="https://twitter.com/Browns/status/1382421902002683912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 14, 2021</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Defensive Tackle</span></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Browns really don&#8217;t seem to value the defensive tackle position and I don&#8217;t understand why. The Browns get gashed every year by running teams and with the Ravens in their division, you&#8217;d think they would have learned their lesson by now. As it stands their DT Room is poor. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think Taven Bryan is their likely starting RDT who had 2 sacks last season, 4 tackles for loss, 8 QB hits, 56 combined tackles, with a PFF run-blocking grade of 44.4. Behind him is Tommy Togiai who had a PFF run-blocking grade of 49 last season.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over at LDT, the starters are going to be either Sheldon Day or Jordan Elliott. Sheldon Day is the Browns current best run-blocking DT with a PFF grade of 59.1. This shows how weak the Browns are at running blocking Tackle. Elliott has a PFF run-blocking grade of 45. The Browns at least drafted an LDT in Perrion Winfrey, but his likely development is that of an interior pass rusher as he&#8217;s very aggressive with very long arms. They really need him to develop into a better run blocking tackle.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">An honor to have Akiem Hicks play for the Chicago Bears. <br><br>This guy is really a ?!<br><br>“I’m coming for you.”<br><br>(Video via Bears Youtube Channel) <a href="https://t.co/EF39hDEZQJ">pic.twitter.com/EF39hDEZQJ</a></p>&mdash; Daniel Greenberg (@ChiSportUpdates) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChiSportUpdates/status/1350469685222006785?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 16, 2021</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A solution can be found in Free Agency with <strong>Akiem Hicks</strong> still available. He&#8217;s not a long-term solution to their run blocking woes, as he&#8217;s getting old now, but when he plays a full season he consistently stacks up solid statistics at tackling and QB hits. His PFF run-blocking grade has recently been in the mid 60&#8217;s, but in 2018 he hit 92.7! </p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Latest dynasty outlook for Amari Cooper</h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By: Doug Ludemann</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Cowboys sent the fantasy football community into a tizzy earlier this month when they traded veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns. The Cooper trade was largely seen as a cost-saving measure but is just as likely to have had more to do with the emergence of CeeDee Lamb who supplanted Cooper as the top receiving option for Dallas in 2021. The question at this point, is how does the move impact Cooper’s dynasty stock moving forward?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jerry Jones on Cowboys trading Amari Cooper: &quot;We made a decision that that allocation should be better spent&quot;<a href="https://t.co/6A6FidxBz4">https://t.co/6A6FidxBz4</a> <a href="https://t.co/GyVl3jSiAV">pic.twitter.com/GyVl3jSiAV</a></p>&mdash; Around The NFL (@AroundTheNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/AroundTheNFL/status/1508503377537220613?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 28, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The primary concern seems to be the philosophy of the Browns rushing-intensive offense. Cooper is exiting a Cowboys offense that has averaged about 643 passes over the past two seasons and joining a team that has averaged only about 510. To make matters worse, in 2021, only five teams had a higher percentage of run plays in their offense than the Browns. It’s notable that Cleveland’s offense was around the league average in rush attempts per total offensive plays in 2019 prior to Stefanski’s arrival.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you look at head coach Kevin Stefanski’s 2019 offense in Minnesota when he served as the Vikings offensive coordinator, that team ran the ball at an even higher rate than Stefanski’s 2020-21 Browns offenses and attempted only 520 passes. Stefanski’s 2019 Vikings offense was also in the bottom third of the league in terms of total passing yards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This implies that in the Browns’ offense, Cooper’s target total is likely to drop in 2022, even with the addition of quarterback Deshaun Watson, whose 2020 Houston Texans offense put up an impressive 4538 passing yards on their opponents with a league-leading 7.6 net yards per passing attempt.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Been watching Deshaun Watson highlights from 2020 and I swear this man is Houdini <a href="https://t.co/7qatgW6axB">pic.twitter.com/7qatgW6axB</a></p>&mdash; Unfinished Business CLE (@UB_CLE) <a href="https://twitter.com/UB_CLE/status/1506333930965946369?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2022</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If Cooper is to maintain his fantasy value, he will have to match or exceed Brandin Cook’s 22% target share that the receiver earned as Watson’s top target in 2020. However, even if Cooper can maintain that degree of target share, it’s unlikely the Browns offense will be as pass-heavy as either his or Watson’s previous teams, making it likely that the receiver takes a step back in both targets and receiving yards in 2022.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, given the uncertainties regarding his new offense, you’re best to expect a lower fantasy output for the coming season, with fewer targets and receiving yards. Thus, I’m currently projecting 65 receptions on 95 targets for 815 yards and 6 TDs on the season, which is probably good enough for a mid-tier WR3 with a high floor.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Latest Browns free agency outlook </h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By: Ivan Mulinder</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_0">The Browns have had an excellent Free Agency so far. In the PFF Off-season Improvement Index, they have been ranked the 4th most improved team behind the Broncos, Colts, and Raiders. To date they have brought in:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_1"><li>WR Amari Cooper</li><li>QB Deshaun Watson</li><li>QB Jacoby Brissett</li><li>WR Jakeem Grant</li><li>OLB/DE Chase Winovich</li><li>DT Taven Bryan</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_2">They&#8217;ve resigned:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_3"><li>TE David Njoku</li><li>OT Chris Hubbard</li><li>LB Anthony Walker</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_4">Not only have the Browns brought in quality players in their positions of most need, but Andrew Berry has also been creating Cap space in the process. Currently, the Browns have a Cap space of $36,762,641 which is the second-highest in the NFL. Let&#8217;s take a look at the Browns new additions in more detail.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Farewell COOOOPPPPPP ???? <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/coop?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#coop</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/amaricooper?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#amaricooper</a> <a href="https://t.co/kNCPan8DxG">pic.twitter.com/kNCPan8DxG</a></p>&mdash; Garry Herndon Jr MILLER LITE TRUCKER Lyfe ?

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_5"><strong>Amari Cooper</strong> is one of the league&#8217;s best route runners and stretches the field which is something the Browns have been desperate to achieve for the last 2 years. In 2021 Cooper totaled 865 yards with an average of 12.7 per reception and scored 8 touchdowns. He has scored 27 touchdowns in the last 4 years and is undoubtedly the Browns new WR1. He fits the Browns preferred no-nonsense style and most of his salary went into a signing bonus with the rest stretched out by adding 2 void years. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_6"><strong>Jakeem Grant&nbsp;</strong>is a slot WR and has been brought in as the Browns new Kick and Punt returner. He&#8217;s only scored 3 touchdowns in the last 3 years, but they have all been from returns. He has returned over 300 punt yards for each of the last two years including a touchdown both years, and in 2021 he returned 539 yards on kicks. In 2019 he returned 578 yards on kicks including another touchdown for 101 yards.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_7"><strong>Deshaun Watson</strong> is one of the top 5 NFL Quarterbacks. In 2020 he threw for 4,823 yards and 33 touchdowns. He&#8217;s as mobile as he&#8217;s accurate with a Relative Athletic Score of 9.24. He&#8217;s arguably the best QB the Browns have had in their entire history; amongst Browns QBs his 2020 data ranks 1st in passing yards/year, 1st in touchdowns/year, 1st in completion % (70.2%), and 1st in rushing yards (444).</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_8"><strong>Jacoby Brissett</strong> is probably going to be the Browns starting QB in 2022 assuming Watson gets a ban on games. Interestingly PFF graded him 15 of 38 qualifying starters last season, 2 behind Mahomes and ahead of Russell Wilson! The NFL ranked him 34 of 62, but we need to remember that the Miami O Line was incredibly poor and he still managed a 62.9% completion percentage. He&#8217;s 29, 6.4 and 238 lbs. His best year was in 2019 when he threw 2,942 yards and 18 touchdowns, with only 6 interceptions and a completion percentage of 60.9%. His QB play is better than these stats look and he&#8217;s certainly a very capable backup to Watson, although the Browns clearly want Watson to start as soon as possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_9"><strong>Chase Winovich</strong> is 6.3, 250 lbs, and is already proving a hit with Browns fans on Twitter. His data speaks louder than his tweets, fortunately, proclaiming that the Browns have picked up a quality OLB. He fell out of favor with the Patriots in 2021, but in 2020 he had 5.5 sacks, 33 solo tackles, 6 tackles for loss, and 12 QB hits. If he produces that form again then the Browns Defense has significantly improved, and let&#8217;s face it, it was very good already.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_10"><strong>Taven Bryan</strong> is a former first-round pick No. 29 from the Jacksonville Jaguars who&#8217;s only 26 and is 6.5, 291 lbs. He&#8217;s on a 1 year $5 million prove-it deal as he&#8217;s never quite lived up to his status in Florida. The good news is he&#8217;s consistently played 15+ games every season and last year got 2 sacks, 8 QB hits, and 4 tackles for loss. The Browns DT room is barren and Bryan is a much-needed pick-up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_11">Of their re-signed players <strong>David Njoku</strong> is the standout player so far with a 67.9% catch percentage and 9 yards per target with zero fumbles. This is the best data of his career and he will become the Browns TE1 following the release of Austin Hooper. Chris Hubbard is a very important depth piece on the Browns O Line and Anthony Walker amassed 113 tackles last season which is the second-best of his career.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_12">Looking ahead to further signings the Browns are linked closely to the following players:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_13"><li>DE Jadeveon Clowney</li><li>DE Za&#8217;Darius Smith</li><li>WR Will Fuller</li><li>DT Akiem Hicks</li><li>DE Danielle Hunter</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_14">The Browns want another quality DE opposite Garrett before going into the Draft. Last season it was Clowney who has been offered a 2 year $24 million deal. Personally, I&#8217;d prefer <strong>Melvin Ingram</strong> who has a much higher PFF Run Defense grade than Clowney- 76.7 compared to 62.8, and a higher pass rush grade- 77.3 compared to 69.1. Comparing total pressures they&#8217;re very similar with both over 50. <strong>Danielle Hunter</strong> from the Vikings had 6 sacks, 6 tackles for loss and 10 QB hits last season and has 35 sacks in 39 games so would be a very good addition if he arrived.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_15"><strong>Will Fuller</strong>&nbsp;would be a very exciting Wide Receiver addition. In 2020, with Watson as his QB on Go/Fly/Fade routes he was 1st in receiving yards (292), and Watson has a Passer Rating of 152.1 which was 1st. Like Amari Cooper Fuller would stretch the field as his longest reception in 2020 was 77 yards and he scored 8 touchdowns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="wnd_TextBlock_221217420_inner_16"><strong>Akiem Hicks</strong> is just the run stuffer that the Browns have needed and never had for years. He&#8217;s 6.4, 330 lbs, and a 2 gap run blocker that collapses the pocket enabling linebackers to fly about and do their thing. Imagine JOK, Jacob Phillips, Sione Takitaki, and Winovich with the freedom to play?!</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Did Andrew Berry make the right move?</h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By: Michael Welsh</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After some downtime, it has been a crazy week in the NFL. We saw Russell Wilson and Carson Wentz traded, Deshaun Watson rumors picked up, and on March 12th, The Browns traded for Dallas Cowboys wideout Amari Cooper. They only gave up a 5th and 6th round pick for the star pass catcher and a 6th round pick. Overall, I believe it was a major steal for the Browns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cleveland now has their WR #1 in Cooper as they look to revamp the offense from a weapons standpoint. This may lead to the end of the Jarvis Landry era in Cleveland, but at the end of the day, the NFL is a business. The addition of Cooper takes the offense to another level if he can remain healthy, and one can assume that Andrew Berry isn’t done with his aggressive moves. What does Cooper bring to the table?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">DAK PRESCOTT TO AMARI COOPER FOR THE TOUCHDOWN <a href="https://t.co/nVyYH9YykU">pic.twitter.com/nVyYH9YykU</a></p>&mdash; Tom Downey (@WhatGoingDowney) <a href="https://twitter.com/WhatGoingDowney/status/1191567156313567233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 5, 2019</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For starters, Amari Cooper might be the best route runner in the league. This will bring a lot of structure to the Browns offense from a receiver standpoint. Odell Beckham Jr. did not work out in Cleveland for several reasons, but he was known as a freelancer on his routes, often looking for soft spots in the defense instead of running the route in the playbook. This caused countless miscommunications between him and quarterback Baker Mayfield. Cooper will be the exact opposite of that as he has a reputation for learning a playbook and sticking to it. This will help him get on the same page with Baker Mayfield, assuming he is the QB for Cleveland in 2022.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cooper is only 27 years old as well, which means if he balls out for the Browns then he may land a long-term deal with them or another team in free agency. The trade is a win-win for both sides, which doesn’t always happen. Everywhere that Cooper has gone, he has produced good numbers, so there is a high probability that he produces well in Cleveland.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Andy Dalton to Amari Cooper 54 yrd touchdown <a href="https://t.co/JtnlymXzLY">pic.twitter.com/JtnlymXzLY</a></p>&mdash; Danny (@CountOn24) <a href="https://twitter.com/CountOn24/status/1332086626357395458?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 26, 2020</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From a stats perspective, Amari Cooper has put up respectable numbers his entire career. In total, he has 517 receptions for 7,076 yards and 46 touchdowns, along with 3 Pro Bowl selections. He is going to bring elite playmaking skills to the Browns and help them take the top off of the defense. Last year he had more touchdown catches than the Browns wide receivers combined. That should give you an idea of how badly the team needs a player like him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is no telling what moves could happen for the Browns from here on out, but there is no doubt that trading for Amari Cooper is a big step in the right direction. Andrew Berry has been incredibly impressive as the Browns General Manager, relentlessly attacking the team’s weaknesses each off-season. Get your popcorn ready because he isn’t done yet.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What is the best landing spot for Antonio Brown?</h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By Chris Moore (Twitter: @fantasy_moore)</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Return</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following his walk-off against the Jets, many thought it was the end of Antonio Brown in the NFL. But that potentially may not be the case. Brown has had multiple off-field issues during his career in the NFL, but due to his talent, NFL franchises have continued to give Brown chances. Brown had a disastrous exit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. While most franchises probably won&#8217;t take the flier on Brown due to his character concerns and off-field drama, there could be a few that take the chance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baltimore Ravens</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After Brown was released from the Buccaneers, he expressed the next quarterback he wants to play for is Lamar Jackson. The Ravens were one of the teams Brown said he wanted to play for next, and signing Brown could make sense for the Ravens. Jackson and the Ravens&#8217; offense struggled last season due to injuries and the lack of offensive weapons. They have one of the best tight ends in the NFL and a young pair of wide receivers in Marquise Brown and Rashod Batemen, but the offense was still very lackluster at times. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Baltimore struggled with injuries last season, so it&#8217;s fair to say Jackson had a down year in 2021. Adding a veteran receiver in Brown who could help ease the expectations off Marquise Brown and Rashod Batemen could be very beneficial to Jackson in 2022. With the emergence of the Bengals in the division and the AFC only getting better, the Ravens need to do something to elevate their offense in 2022 if they expect to compete in the conference.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dallas Cowboys</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Ravens weren’t the only team Brown expressed interest in this offseason, as the Cowboys were also mentioned as a destination where Brown would like to play. The Cowboys just traded away star wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Browns. While the Cowboys still have Ceedee Lamb and plan to resign Michael Gallup, they still have a hole at wide receiver. Gallup is coming off a torn ACL, and the Cowboys don&#8217;t have a lot of depth behind those two guys. Signing Brown would give the Cowboys three dynamic wide receivers like they had last season, at a way cheaper cost.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arizona Cardinals</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Cardinals need to get Kyler Murray more help if they want to compete in the NFC. The Cardinals have looked like a completely different team when DeAndre Hopkins isn&#8217;t on the field. Murray holds onto the ball longer, and their wide receivers struggled to get open when Hopkins wasn&#8217;t in the lineup. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Christian Kirk is also set to hit the open market and could be playing elsewhere in 2022. Hopkins has had durability issues over the past two seasons, and the Cardinals need to find Murray more weapons. Brown would form a dangerous duo with Hopkins and give Murray another guy he can rely on.  </p>
