Cleveland Browns Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Ravens Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. The shoulder shouldn’t be an issue, but Huntley hasn’t done enough this season to be more than a mid-range QB2.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Ravens QB Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) will start today's game vs. the Falcons. He's listed as questionable but "was able to make all his throws on Thursday," per Rapoport. We're not expecting the shoulder to be an issue today.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is off the team's injury report after logging a full practice on Thursday. The weather in this game will be bad, but Njoku is still a low-end TE1 vs. the Saints in Week 16. He's tied for the team lead in targets (22) with QB Deshaun Watson under center. Even in inclement weather, TEs are usually decent short-area bets.

Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) carries no injury designation ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Saints. It seems his absence from practice this week was merely rest-related. The weather in Cleveland is going to be brutal, so Cooper is a WR3 at best. Nothing against him. Fantasy managers might want to look for players in better weather conditions for their lineups.

Browns RB Nick Chubb (foot) does not carry an injury designation for Week 16. The workhorse back should be fine for Saturday's contest vs. the Saints. In what should be a bad-weather game, the Browns may look to give Chubb a good chunk of carries. Consider Chubb a low-end RB1 option in your lineup.

Seahawks WR Marquise Goodwin (wrist, ankle) is expected to play vs. the Chiefs per HC Pete Carroll despite being officially listed as questionable for Week 16. With WR Tyler Lockett out with a finger injury, Goodwin is a decent bet to fill the WR2 role opposite D.K. Metcalf. Consider Goodwin a solid WR3/flex candidate in your lineups.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Ravens QB Tyler Huntley will be the starter in Week 16 vs. the Falcons. The possible return of Lamar Jackson will have to wait another week. Though the Falcons' defense presents the 8th-best matchup for QBs in adjusted fantasy points allowed, Huntley is nothing more than a low-end QB2 consideration in superflex leagues. Huntley is 32nd among qualified QBs in PFF passing grade and ranks as the QB24 in fantasy since Week 13. Fantasy managers likely have better options for their lineups.

Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) was given another rest day again on Wednesday. TE David Njoku kept his limited participation going as well. We didn't get much new information today ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Saints. Check back tomorrow once we learn more about these two.

Browns RB Nick Chubb (foot) was a no-go at practice for the 2nd day in a row. Tomorrow's practice report will provide the final word on Chubb's ability to suit up vs. the Saints on Saturday. If Chubb can't go in Week 16, it would be a big boost to both Kareem Hunt and potentially D'Ernest Johnson. We'll stay on top of this one. Losing a top back like Chubb in the fantasy playoffs would certainly be disappointing.

Seahawks WR Marquise Goodwin (wrist, ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It's troubling to see the veteran downgrade from full participation on Tuesday. Already expected to be without WR Tyler Lockett, an absence from Goodwin would be bad news for QB Geno Smith. With the game vs. the Chiefs in line to kick off Saturday, tomorrow's practice report will give the final word on Goodwin. Stay tuned.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) was a limited practice participant on Tuesday. Week 16’s showdown against the Saints is on Saturday, so today’s report will shed more light regarding the TE’s availability. Stay tuned.

Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) did not participate in Tuesday’s practice. Fortunately, Cooper’s absence was classified as a rest day. So nothing alarming there for now. Teammate David Bell (toe) was a limited practice participant, so today’s update will be helpful in determining his availability for Saturday’s game vs. the Saints. Stay tuned.

Browns RB Nick Chubb (foot) did not practice on Tuesday. The Browns' next game vs. the Saints is on Saturday. As such, Chubb’s absence from practice could merely be cautionary. We’ll still keep an eye on this as their Week 16 matchup gets closer. If Chubb were unable to suit up, Kareem Hunt would likely elevate on the depth chart and shoulder a good amount of responsibility against a Saints defense that ranks 13th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs. Stay tuned.

The Panthers totaled just 21 rushing yards on 16 carries (1.3 per rush) in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. RB D'Onta Foreman managed just 9 yards on 10 carries, with Chuba Hubbard rushing 4 times for 10 yards. Hubbard made up for it 57 yards on 3 receptions. A 45-yard catch-and-run powered that. Carolina RBs shouldn't factor heavily into your plans vs. Detroit or Tampa Bay the next 2 weeks.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson didn't show much progress in his 3rd game back. He threw for just 161 yards and 1 TD in Saturday's win over the Ravens. He found WR Donovan Peoples-Jones from 3 yards out for the team's lone TD. WR Amari Cooper and TE David Njoku tied for the target lead (6). Cooper caught 4 balls for 58 yards. Njoku snagged 3 for just 28 yards. Week 16 brings a Saints defense that ranks 12th on the year in Football Outsiders' pass-defense DVOA, compared with 21st against the run. Watson doesn't look like a fantasy starter for that week or a Week 17 trip to Washington.

Browns RB Nick Chubb rushed 21 times for 99 yards in Saturday's win over the Ravens. He claimed 84% of Cleveland RB carries in the game but didn't find the end zone in a game that saw the Browns score just 1 TD. Kareem Hunt added 24 yards on 4 carries and caught his only target for 3 yards. Demetric Felton added the backfield's only other reception. Chubb drew 2 targets but caught neither. Week 16 holds a Saints defense that has been a neutral matchup for RB scoring, which marks an improvement over the Baltimore matchup.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley threw for just 138 yards in Saturday's loss to the Browns. He completed 17 of 30 passes (56.7%), with 0 TDs and 1 INT. No Baltimore player exceeded 31 receiving yards, with WR Demarcus Robinson the only Raven catching more than 3 passes. We'll see about Lamar Jackson's status for a Week 16 matchup with the Falcons.

Browns WR David Bell (thumb, toe) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Ravens. Demetric Felton figures to replace Bell as Cleveland’s primary slot receiver but is only in play as a flier in Saturday DFS tournaments.

Browns WR David Bell (thumb, toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Ravens. He didn't practice all week and won't play on Saturday, according to The Score's Jordan Schultz. Bell's absence will leave WRs Michael Woods and Demetric Felton behind Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) is not listed on the final injury report for Saturday's game vs. the Ravens. Cooper only got on a limited practice on Thursday, so it's safe to assume he won't be at 100% for this one. He played his usual snap allotment last week but finished with 2 catches on 7 targets for 42 yards. Consider Cooper a risk/reward WR3 in Week 15 fantasy lineups.
