According to a story published on the Cleveland Browns' official website, the team is intrigued by a Bradley Chubb-Myles Garrett pairing on their defensive line.

Browns Ink Jeff Janis

The Cleveland Browns and free-agent wide receiver Jeff Janis have agreed to a contract. Janis, a former Green Bay Packer, is expected to slide in as the team's No. 4 receiver after Josh Gordon, Jarvis Landry and Corey Coleman. From a fantasy standpoint, it isn't a great landing spot for the fifth-year pass catcher. That being […]

Browns Trade Cody Kessler To Jacksonville

The Cleveland Browns agreed to trade quarterback Cody Kessler to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday. The Jaguars will send a 2019 conditional seventh-round pick as compensation for the third-year signal-caller.

Dynasty Buy-Low: Running Backs on New Teams

The free-agent signing period only opened about a week ago in the NFL, but most of the available running backs with any fantasy value have already signed with new teams. Trading during the offseason in dynasty leagues is trickier than hiding your "magazine" stash from your spouse, especially if your deals involve a running back […]

NFL Free Agent Quarterbacks - RotoBaller Reactions

Here at RotoBaller, we've given you our take on all the major moves of NFL free agency (and some minor ones too). Our expert staff may not all agree on where players should be ranked or what their value will be for 2018, but if we did, that would just be boring. If there's one […]

Early Dynasty Start Up Mock Draft – Round 7-10

It’s never too early for a mock draft, and the team at Rotoballer mocked a startup dynasty league. These results will certainly change throughout the offseason as free agency and the NFL draft come and go, but it’s always a great idea to find out player values as the offseason progresses. This league’s starting lineup […]

Under the Radar RB Signings - Fantasy Risers or Fallers?

A flurry of activity in the past week has sent fantasy football owners and sports Twitter into a frenzy. Some huge names changed teams and the domino effect will affect dozens of players league-wide. Then again, not every signing has to create a seismic shift in the fantasy universe. There were a number of under the […]

What's Going On With the Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver Position?

Before free agency, I wrote up a piece on Leonte Carroo and Jakeem Grant and which one would take advantage of the hole left by the trading of Jarvis Landry. That piece is, uhh, going to have to go through some major changes. Free agency and the Dolphins signing two guys to replace Jarvis Landry […]

Early 2018 Dynasty Sleepers - Running Back

Fantasy football dynasties can still be built on the shoulders of running backs, even though the NFL is a pass-first league built around quarterbacks and receiving corps. The running back position is not be loaded with as many 1,000-yard workhorses as there was 5-10 years ago, and that makes it even more important to have […]

Early Dynasty Startup Mock Draft - Rounds 5 and 6

RotoBaller's dynasty football staff got together recently to perform a mock draft before the NFL draft in order to get an idea of where player values lie. We continue with our early dynasty mock draft series into rounds five and six with an overview of each team's roster near the midpoint of the draft. If […]

Carlos Hyde to the Browns - Fantasy Spin

The Cleveland Browns have been the most active franchise thus far in the free agency period, and that continued on Wednesday when they signed former San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde to a three-year, 15 million-dollar contract. Hyde, a second-round draft pick in 2014, will fill the void left by the departure of starting […]

Tyrod Taylor Named Starting Quarterback

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson told the media on Thursday that Tyrod Taylor will be the team's starter in 2018. Jackson went on to state, "He's going to be the starting quarterback. There is no competition." The Browns are widely expected to use one of their first-round picks on a rookie quarterback but it […]

Browns Cut Jason McCourty

The Cleveland Browns are releasing cornerback Jason McCourty on Thursday, according to sources. McCourty appeared in 14 games with Cleveland in 2017, his only season with the team. He was far and away the team's best cornerback and finished the season with 65 total tackles, two forced fumbles, three interceptions and 14 passes defended. The […]

Sammie Coates Released By Browns

The Cleveland Browns released wide receiver Sammie Coates on Thursday. Coates spent just one season in Cleveland, catching six passes for 70 yards in 12 games. Coates was a third-round draft selection by the Pittsburgh Steelers but has caught just 28 passes for 516 yards and two touchdowns in 32 career games over three seasons. […]

Browns Sign Cornerback T.J. Carrie

The Cleveland Browns and cornerback T.J. Carrie have agreed to a four-year, $31 million contract.

Joe Thomas Expected To Decide On Future Soon

Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas is expected to make a decision soon about whether he will continue his playing career or retire. The future Hall of Fame left tackle suffered a torn triceps during the 2017 season, which caused him to miss game time for the first time in his NFL career. Thomas spoke […]

Browns Add Free Agent Darren Fells

The Cleveland Browns and free-agent tight end Darren Fells have agreed to a three-year, $12 million contract. Fells spent the 2017 season with the Detroit Lions, playing in 16 games and catching 17 passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns.

Carlos Hyde Expected To Sign With Browns

According to a tweet from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, free-agent running back Carlos Hyde is expected to sign with the Cleveland Browns. Hyde will get a three-year deal worth over $15 million, including $6 million in the first year.

RotoBaller's Early 2018 Redraft Football Mock - Rounds 4-6

Welcome to the RotoBaller Mock Redraft, which we are doing way, way too early because we care way, way too much about fantasy football. But hey--you care too much too, because you're here with us on this adventure! We're one big, football family! This slow draft has been going on for a little while, which […]

Browns Solidify O-Line With Chris Hubbard

The Cleveland Browns strengthened their offensive line on Tuesday by signing Chris Hubbard away from the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Hubbard is able to play multiple positions across the offensive line, but he's expected to take over for Shon Coleman at right tackle in 2018. Hubbard will be quite the upgrade over Coleman, who struggled mightily […]

Josh Gordon Tendered By Browns As Exclusive-Rights Free Agent

The Cleveland Browns have tendered wide receiver Josh Gordon as an exclusive-rights free agent. Gordon will make $790,000 in 2018, the veteran minimum. Despite being in the league since 2012, Gordon's multiple suspensions have made it so he's accrued just two years of service time in the NFL. As such, the supremely talented Gordon will […]

Browns Looking At Nate Solder

The Cleveland Browns have expressed interest in signing free-agent left tackle Nate Solder. Solder has spent his entire seven-year career with the New England Patriots. Cleveland's interest in Solder could indicate that long-time Browns left tackle Joe Thomas is leaning toward retirement after tearing his triceps last season. Thomas has yet to officially inform the […]

Early 2018 Breakouts - Tight End

2018 could very well be “The Year of the Tight End.” The position in fantasy football is going to be as loaded with breakout candidates in 2018 as Starbucks is with espressos and acoustic music. While the position is top-heavy with Pro Bowl veterans like New England’s Rob Gronkowski, Carolina’s Greg Olsen and Kansas City’s […]

Trusting Rookie Wide Receivers in Redraft Leagues

If I had to list one mistake most commonly made by fantasy owners on draft day, it would be recency bias. We've seen it time and time again - owners overreacting to what happened the previous year even when it was so clearly an outlier. The QB boom of 2011. The rookie WR boom of 2014. […]

Early 2018 Dynasty Sleepers - Tight End

Not every fantasy football team can have Rob Gronkowski on its roster, but many dynasty fantasy squads can have a good tight end that will contribute for the next several seasons. There should be plenty of tight ends to build fantasy football dynasty league teams around in 2018. Three talented tight ends were selected in […]

Jarvis Landry Could Play Under Franchise Tag

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry and his new team have not included a long-term extension as part of the trade, and he could play out the 2018 season on the one-year franchise tag. The two sides will likely discuss an extension, but it's not a guarantee it will happen. Landry could choose to play […]
