Cleveland Browns DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught five of his six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Jeudy got the Browns off to a fast start in the contest, hauling in a 35-yard touchdown to give Cleveland a 7-3 lead in the first quarter. Cleveland's leading receiving in Week 14, Jeudy has been on fire of late with three touchdown catches over his past four contests. The veteran receiver is shaping up as a must-start with the fantasy playoffs approaching next week. He will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Week 15.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball 10 times for 28 yards and caught three of his four targets for 19 yards in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Ford played a secondary role behind starter Nick Chubb in the contest, seeing one fewer carry in the loss but outproducing Chubb in the air as the latter did not record a catch. The veteran tailback has gotten more involved behind Chubb over the past two weeks, handling 19 total touches over that span. Ford is worth a roster spot as a potential handcuff to Chubb with the fantasy playoffs approaching.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DeAndre Carter (hamstring) isn't expected to return to Sunday's game versus the 49ers. The wideout isn't a routine option for Caleb Williams. However, his likely absence will be felt on special teams. With wide receiver Tyler Scott inactive, the team may turn to cornerback Josh Blackwell to handle return duties for the remainder of Week 14.

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made one of his two field-goal attempts and added three extra points in a high-scoring loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He will now take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 14. The Steelers have been tough on kickers this season, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Hopkins has struggled with his accuracy in 2024, missing seven of his 23 attempts, which doesn't help his cause. He should not be in fantasy lineups heading into Week 14.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku hauled in two touchdown passes in a high-scoring loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He will look for more success in Week 14's road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have been decent against tight ends in fantasy this season, allowing the 17th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Njoku has been a no-brainer TE1 in fantasy since Jameis Winston took over as the team's quarterback and can be treated as a top-six option heading into his Week 14 matchup.
