Should I Draft Jake Ferguson? Fantasy Football Outlook

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott loves his tight ends. In his 48 games played with the now-retired Jason Witten, the likely Hall-of-Famer snagged nearly 200 passes.

Browns Sign Shelby Harris

The Cleveland Browns signed veteran free-agent defensive tackle Shelby Harris to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday after he visited with the team on July 31.

Jerome Ford Considered Week-To-Week

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) is being labeled week-to-week, so he is likely to miss a good chunk of the team's remaining preseason practices and games.

Is Jerome Ford Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Since 2019, fantasy football players have grown accustomed to the Cleveland Browns' two-headed backfield of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

Nick Chubb To See More Targets This Season?

Cleveland Browns running backs coach Stump Mitchell expressed confidence in Nick Chubb's abilities as a pass-catcher.

Browns Express Confidence In Jerome Ford

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford admitted how anxious he's been trying to learn from Nick Chubb this offseason. But with Kareem Hunt and D'Ernest Johnson no longer a part of the team and the franchise not making significant moves to replace them, the 23-year-old is seemingly the No. 2 option behind Chubb heading into […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was a hot commodity in the middle round of fantasy drafts last season.
