The Raiders on Friday released S Damarious Randall. Vegas signed the former Brown this offseason to a 1-year deal, but he apparently failed to work his way into the 2020 plan. Instead, Erik Harris and Johnathan Abram look poised to start at safety. Abram arrived in the 1st round of last year's NFL Draft and was a lock to start after returning from his rookie-season shoulder injury. Harris spent nearly all of last season starting for the Raiders after Abram's injury, and he cracked the top 20 DBs in most IDP formats.

Browns DE Olivier Vernon (knee) is active for today's game against the Steelers. He missed the past 3 games and returns to a lackluster sack matchup. But Vernon's OK for IDP consideration. Cleveland also made the surprising move of making FS Damarious Randall a healthy scratch. Randall reportedly didn't even travel with the team. Scott Petrak of BrownsZone.com writes that "it's likely a disciplinary measure." Juston Burris and Sheldrick Redwine will likely start at safety against the Steelers. Neither is a strong IDP option.

Browns S Damarious Randall got ejected in the 3rd quarter of Thursday night's game against the Steelers for a blow to the head of Pittsburgh WR Diontae Johnson. We'll see if Randall faces any further punishment from the league.

Browns S Damarious Randall (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Bills. He finished the week practicing in full and looks fine for normal IDP usage.

The Browns will face the Rams tonight without their top 4 DBs. FS Damarious Randall was ruled out early as he continues to recover from a concussion that also cost him Week 2. SS Morgan Burnett (quad), CB Denzel Ward (hamstring) and CB Greedy Williams (hamstring) all entered the day questionable but looked unlikely to play. The situation certainly helps the fantasy outlook for Rams QB Jared Goff and his pass-catchers.

The Browns could be without their entire starting secondary for Sunday night's game against the Rams. They've already ruled out FS Damarious Randall for the 2nd straight game with a concussion. SS Morgan Burnett is questionable with the quad injury that knocked him out of last Monday's game. He missed practice all week. Starting CBs Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams each got added to the injury report Thursday with hamstring issues that kept them out of Friday's practice. IDP owners should plan on using none of these players for Week 3. The whole situation, meanwhile, can only improve the fantasy outlook for Rams QB Jared Goff and his receivers. Eric Murray and Jermaine Whitehead would be the starting safeties here, while Terrance Mitchell, T.J. Carrie and Tavierre Thomas look like the top 3 corners if Ward and Williams sit.

Browns S Damarious Randall arrived to team facilities Saturday with a concussion, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. The team has placed him in the concussion protocol and ruled him out for Monday night's game against the Jets.

Schobert put in limited practices all week after missing the past 3 games. Randall got a full practice in Friday after limited workouts the previous 2 days. Ward returned to limited practices the past 2 days after sitting out Wednesday. Randall looks like the safest bet to play. We'll see about all 3 Sunday morning.

Browns MLB Joe Schobert returned to a limited practice Wednesday for the 1st time since he suffered the hamstring injury back in Week 6. Schobert then missed the past 3 games. We'll see if he's ready to play Sunday against the Falcons. If he is, Schobert and Jamie Collins will be the Cleveland LBs to use. Browns S Damarious Randall also put in a limited practice Wednesday after missing the loss to the Chiefs with a groin injury. Randall has dealt with multiple injuries throughout the season but practiced just once over the past 2 weeks (Friday of Week 8). Randall's Wednesday participation seems to put him on track to play against the Falcons, which should also put him in IDP lineups.

That marks the 2nd straight week and 5th time this season. Randall missed all 3 days of practice this week, though, which is different. We'll check his status Sunday morning. You should make alternate IDP plans, though -- especially given a Chiefs matchup that hasn't been helpful to IDP scoring.
