Former Ravens OC Todd Monken was hired as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Monken has been with the Ravens since 2023, serving as the team’s offensive coordinator under QB Lamar Jackson. He was also a member of the Browns’ staff in 2019, working as offensive coordinator under HC Freddie Kitchens.

Browns TE Harold Fannin (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. He's unlikely to play vs. the Bengals this weekend after hurting his groin in last Friday's practice and then aggravating the issue in the win over the Steelers. TE David Njoku (knee) also remained sidelined on Wednesday. Cleveland will likely be rolling with TEs Sal Cannella, Blake Whiteheart, and Brenden Bates this weekend.

Browns TE Harold Fannin re-injured his groin in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. He at least did it at the end of a 28-yard TD catch. Fannin is officially questionable to return.

Update: Fannin will not return.

Browns TE Harold Fannin (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. He hurt his groin in Friday’s practice, but there never seemed to be much doubt about his availability for this one. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Fannin is expected to be “a full go” today. He’s safe to keep in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Browns TE Harold Fannin (groin) is expected to play vs. the Steelers tomorrow, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The rookie hurt his groin in Friday's practice but evidently felt good enough on Saturday to get the green light. We'll look for any further updates on Fannin's outlook for this one, but he can stay penciled into Week 17 fantasy lineups for now.

Browns TE Harold Fannin is questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers after injuring his groin in Friday's practice. "The team wants to see how he feels this weekend before deciding whether he can play Sunday," ESPN's Adam Schefter says. We'll keep you updated on Fannin's status and get Cleveland's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. TE David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for the third straight game.

Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught 4 of 6 targets for 34 yards and one score in Sunday's loss to the Bills. The rookie added a goal line rushing TD.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. TE Harold Fannin should continue to run a route on almost every pass play and is a safe Week 16 fantasy start, despite the negative matchup against Buffalo’s top-ranked TE defense.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's totaled just seven targets over his last five games, so there's not a huge fantasy impact here. But Njoku's absence certainly doesn't hurt TE Harold Fannin's Week 15 outlook.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He's fallen well behind TE Harold Fannin in playing time and production and is off the fantasy radar. But Njoku's absence wouldn't hurt Fannin's Week 15 outlook.

Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. racked up 8 catches for 114 yards and a TD on 11 targets in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He nearly doubled his nearest teammate in targets while accounting for large market shares on a high-volumme passing day for Cleveland:

• 28.9% of targeted passes
• 34.8% of receptions
• 31.3% of receiving yards
• 33.3% of receiving TDs

Cleveland atttempted 42 passes for the game, well above the 33.8 per game it averaged for the season entering Sunday.

Browns TE David Njoku suffered a knee injury on a TD catch in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He's officially questionable to return. Njoku had fallen way behind TE Harold Fannin in the pecking order, but his absence can't be bad news for the rookie.

The forecast for today's 49ers-Browns game calls for sustained winds of 25 mph with gusts around 35 mph. The total in this game has dropped from 42.5 to 35.5. Expect a run-heavy game plan from both sides. RBs Christian McCaffrey and Quinshon Judkins can stay in fantasy lineups. TE George Kittle is the only comfortable play from either passing game. Avoid the kickers.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. "I’d say day-to-day, but he’s working hard," HC Kevin Stefanski said when asked about Njoku. With just four targets over his last two games and a declining route rate, Njoku has just about fallen off the fantasy radar. But his absence vs. the Raiders this weekend would be a boost for TE Harold Fannin.

The forecast for today's Ravens-Browns game calls for sustained winds around 25 mph with gusts between 30-35 mph. That figures to impact play-calling, as well as deep throws and longer kicks. Hopefully you weren't relying too heavily on Cleveland's passing game here, although TEs Harold Fannin and David Njoku could be ok as short-range targets. We're downgrading Baltimore's passing game, but QB Lamar Jackson, WR Zay Flowers, and TE Mark Andrews remain fine fantasy starts. Avoid the kickers in this game. The over/under has dropped from 39.5 on Thursday to 38.5.

One week after scoring exactly zero fantasy points, Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy finally had a solid fantasy outing--after the vast majority of fantasy managers had benched him. Taking advantage of a new-look Jets' defense that traded off their top run stopper and coverage CB, Jeudy caught 6 balls for a season-high 78 yards and scored his first TD of the season. However, it wasn't enough as the Browns handed the Jets their second win of the season by allowing a pair of special teams TDs in a 27-20 loss.

Browns TE Harold Fannin (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Jets. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. The hammy certainly adds risk to Fannin’s profile, but he’s still sits in borderline TE1 territory in the Week 10 rankings.

Browns TE Harold Fannin (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Jets on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Fannin was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but was able to return to a limited practice on Friday. The hamstring adds risk to his Week 10 profile, but the rookie is still a viable low-end TE1 play.
