Quarterbacks

There's no clear starting quarterback for the Browns, but there's plenty of options. Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett are veteran options, while Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders are two rookie options. Tyler Huntley was recently brought in, and Deshaun Watson is still on the roster too. 

None of those guys are on my top-10 dynasty list, but a few have the chance to get there if they grab the starting job and run with it.

Watson is on the physically unable to perform list and could miss the entire season. His dynasty value has already been dropping, and at nearly 30 years old now, his value could dry out soon.

He's OK to stash on some contending dynasty squads still, but hopefully you have IR spots to utilize. Trade him away for a younger or future asset if you aren't contending.

A lot of the same things could be said about Flacco, but he's healthy and going to play this season. I expect the 40-year old to win the starting job.

His dynasty value is really low, so only roster him in deeper setups and on a contending dynasty squad. You likely won't be able to trade him for much, but rebuilding teams shouldn't be rostering him.

Pickett is 27 years old, and this could be his last shot at winning a starting job. He's never developed into the first-round pick he was in 2022, and I'm not expecting him ever to get there.

Move Pickett if you aren't contending, but again, don't expect much in return.

Huntley likely will be cut before the season, but is another body for the preseason. He could earn himself a chance with another team if he plays well enough. Huntley doesn't have much dynasty value left, even though he's 27 years old.

Gabriel was a third-round pick, and in time, could emerge as the team's starting QB. I think he was underrated coming out of college, but that his franchise could destroy his NFL career before it ever gets going. Stash him in some deeper leagues and hope he either emerges in Cleveland or lands with another QB-needy team.

Sanders fell to the fifth round in the 2025 draft, which I think says a lot. He's a talented player, but also comes with a ton of media buzz. At 23 years old (a year younger than Gabriel), he has a higher dynasty value. We'll see if he gets a chance in Cleveland, or if it'll take a change of scenery.

Running Backs

Jerome Ford is the projected starter, although rookie Quinshon Judkins or Dylan Sampson could take the lead role too. Pierre Strong Jr. is also on the team.

None of those backs made my top-10 list, but with some younger options, someone could someday.

Ford is 25 years old and has 1,934 yards and 12 scores over his first 44 games and three seasons. His upside is limited a bit now after the team drafted a couple backs, but there's at least some short-term value in Ford.

I'd look to sell him high if he excels as a lead back early in the season. I don't see him being a long-term starter, even if he moves teams.

Judkins was a second-round pick, but hasn't signed yet. He was arrested in mid-July and there's not a ton of clarity on his availability yet this season.

Judkins is 21 years old and could become a big-time fantasy asset some day, but dynasty owners should feel uneasy because of his current situation. If you are willing to stash Judkins for a bit, his value is a bit down - just don't bank on him being a major asset, and be prepared if his career never truly takes off.

Sampson was a fourth-round pick, and is just 20, so there's a chance he becomes the lead back of the future for Cleveland. Especially with the news surrounding Judkins, I'd be willing to stash Sampson in all dynasty leagues, and maybe be able to get some value out of him this season.

Strong could make the roster if Judkins misses time. Strong is 26 years old and has just 692 yards and two scores over 46 games, so he's not a big fantasy asset. He doesn't have much dynasty value left, but an injury could thrust him into a bigger role, so he's at least worth mentioning.

Wide Receivers

Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman and Jamari Thrash are the projected starting wideouts. Kaden Davis, Diontae Johnson, DeAndre Carter and David Bell are some secondary options.

Jeudy is the closest to my top-10 dynasty list, but he won't ever get there, and the others likely won't either.

Jeudy is 26 years old, which is why he'll likely remain off that top-10 list. He had 1,229 yards and four scores last season over 17 games, so he's definitely an option for contending teams.

His dynasty value could improve a bit, so I'm not quite ready to say he should be traded off non-contending teams. Jeudy is getting close to that mark though, so try selling him high when you think his value cannot get any higher.

Tillman has done some solid things over his first 25 NFL games, going for 566 yards and three scores. He's 25 years old and could take on more this season.

He's not a huge dynasty asset, but he's worth a roster spot in a good amount of leagues. Tillman is more of a lottery ticket for a non-contending team, while being a depth option for a contender.

Thrash had just 22 yards over nine games in his rookie season in 2024. It shows the state of the team's wideout room that Thrash is a projected starter.

The 24-year-old has some dynasty value, and is worth rostering in some dynasty leagues. He'll need to show something this season to remain rostered in dynasty leagues though.

Johnson has bounced around a ton, but is still only 29 years old. A once-promising career has hit a wall, and he's unlikely to ever be super involved again.

He's worth a spot in deeper dynasty leagues in case he bounces back this season. I don't see it happening though.

Carter has produced a couple decent seasons, but has just 1,430 yards and six scores over seven years and 107 games. The 32-year-old is a depth option, but could carve out a role in that weak wideout room. His dynasty value isn't high, and never will be.

Bell is on the non-football related injured reserve list, so he'll have some catching up to do. He has 408 yards and three scores over 32 games, and only played in one contest last season.

Bell is 24 years old, but probably needs to show something this year to boost his dynasty value and remain rostered in some leagues. He's another lottery stash in deeper dynasty setups.

Tight Ends

David Njoku is the team's starting tight end, but the team also has rookie Harold Fannin Jr. who could be a good dynasty asset in time. Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates are more depth options.

Njoku is my No. 8 dynasty tight end right now. He'd likely rank higher if he were rostered by anyone else in the league.

He's 29 years old and still has a couple good seasons in him I think. Njoku has dealt with some injuries over the years, but can be a top-end tight end when healthy. 

He's a bit of a risk to trust as a weekly starter, so make sure you have a backup plan in place. I'd only roster Njoku on a contending dynasty squad. Wait until he builds some value back up before moving him on a rebuilding dynasty team.

Fannin was a third-round pick, and I could see him factoring in on offense as a rookie without many proven wideouts around. He's 21 years old and could fly up the top-10 list with a good rookie showing.

Fannin should be rostered in just about every dynasty league, and you should expect a little production this year. We'll see just how good he ends up being - he could star if Njoku is eventually moved.

Whiteheart and Bates are each 25 years old, but they are just depth options, both now and for the long haul. I don't see either being a fantasy asset ever, even if they got a ton of snaps. Avoid them in just about every dynasty league.
