Fantasy Football Alert: 3 Browns Players to Skip in Your Draft
The Cleveland Browns offer unique fantasy football considerations due to their run-heavy offense and efficient but low-volume passing game. Here are three Browns players to avoid in fantasy drafts:
Nick Chubb Despite being arguably the NFL's best pure runner, Chubb presents risks at his current draft position (top 15-20 picks):
- Limited passing game involvement
- Shares touches with elite backup Kareem Hunt
- Vulnerable in games where Browns trail
- Lacks reliable floor without receiving work
- Can have inefficient fantasy outputs even with good rushing performances
Austin Hooper Not recommended as a draft target because:
- Fifth receiving option in low-volume passing offense
- Similar production to last year expected
- Better upside options available at tight end
- Best used as occasional waiver wire pickup
Baker Mayfield Avoid as your primary fantasy QB:
- Inconsistent weekly production
- Low passing volume in run-first offense
- Significant point differential vs elite QBs
- Weather concerns late in season
- Better suited as temporary fill-in or streaming option
- Viable Week 1 starter but risky in November/December
