Rishard Matthews To Work Out For Browns, Cardinals

Free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews has workouts planned with the Cleveland Browns on Monday and the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday.

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Jarvis Landry (knee) and Antonio Callaway (knee) have both been taken off the Week 5 injury report and will play against the Ravens. It's a tough matchup, but Landry is the team's unquestioned top wideout and is a must-play in fantasy, especially PPR leagues. Callaway has intriguing upside but hasn't been […]

Tyrod Taylor Not Looking For Trade

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor won't rule out the idea of asking for a trade to a quarterback-needy team, but he's not actively seeking a trade.

The Real Corey Davis Has Arrived

The fifth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Corey Davis has shown us just a small dosage of what he is capable of during his time in the league.

David Njoku Draws Tough Week 5 Matchup

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is coming off of his best game of 2018, where he caught five passes for 52 yards against the Oakland Raiders. The second-year tight end has not broken out the way some expected this season, but his arrow is pointing up with Baker Mayfield under center. Njoku and the […]

Duke Johnson Hard To Trust In Week 5

Cleveland Browns third-down running back Duke Johnson has been struggling to get touches during the first four games of the season. Johnson has seen just 12 carries and nine receptions in Todd Haley's offense, a far cry from his production in 2017 when he averaged just under 10 touches per game. Johnson remains one of […]

Following his score in Week 4 against the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde has now scored a touchdown in six straight games dating back to the end of the 2017 season.

Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Second NFL Start

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will see the toughest test of his young career when he lines up across from the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5.

Damarious Randall Effective While Playing Injured

Cleveland Browns safety Damarious Randall (heel), who suffered a badly bruised heel on Sept. 16 against the Saints, has been effective while playing hurt.

Tyrod Taylor Practices In Full

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor (back) practiced in full on Wednesday. Taylor should be fine to serve as rookie QB Baker Mayfield's backup in Week 5 against the Ravens.
