Cleveland Browns DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson looked sharp in his team's 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in their preseason opener on Saturday. Thompson-Robinson completed 14 of his 18 passes for 134 yards while adding two yards on his lone rushing attempt. The second-year signal caller led the team's lone touchdown-scoring drive in the fourth quarter, which culminated in an Aidan Robbins touchdown run. With Jameis Winston expected to serve as the team's backup QB behind Deshaun Watson this season, Thompson-Robinson is looking to beat out Tyler Huntley in the preseason to serve as the QB3 in Cleveland.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell (quad) was forced to exit early during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The young wideout headed to the locker room in the first half and didn't return. He hauled in his lone target for five yards before exiting the game. Hopefully it's only a minor issue as Bell is battling for a depth spot on this roster. He hasn't done much during his first two seasons and that's unlikely to change in 2024.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (leg) did not suit up for Thursday's practice session. Jeudy made a return on Sunday, but was downgraded to individual drills on Monday. Now, Jeudy is watching from the sidelines with a wrap around his leg. The fifth-year wideout is not expected to play in the preseason opener. The Browns are going to be cautious with the oft-injured receiver especially in camp. When healthy, Jeudy should be the No. 2 wideout on the roster behind Amari Cooper.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) was back in team drills on Tuesday. Moore suffered the injury during the Browns' final training camp practice. Moore recorded 59 receptions for 649 yards and two touchdowns with the Browns in 2023. He is currently listed as the No. 3 wide receiver on the Browns' depth chart. With the Browns reportedly engaged in trade talks for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, it remains to be seen where Moore will fall on the Browns' final depth chart. The former New York Jet is likely the fourth option on a Browns team, including David Njoku. For now, Moore should be considered a depth piece in fantasy in deeper leagues.

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Jameis Winston is set to start the Browns' preseason opener on Saturday versus the Green Bay Packers. It remains to be seen if starter Deshaun Watson (shoulder) will play during the preseason, but this game will give the Browns a chance to see what they have in Winston. The 30-year-old Winston signed with the Browns on a one-year deal with Cleveland during the offseason. Winston spent the past four seasons primarily as a backup with the New Orleans Saints. The former No. 1 overall pick appeared in seven games in 2023 and recorded 264 passing yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. He should not be on fantasy radars for 2024. However, with Winston having extensive starting experience, hopefully, he will give fantasy managers a good look at some of the Browns' potential starting wide receivers or sleepers in this game.
