Browns will get good look at their young WRs

Aug 07, 2018

With Corey Coleman gone and Josh Gordon still away from the team, the Browns will look at a number of possibilities at wide receiver to go along with Jarvis Landry.

"The demand is that much higher now for other guys to step up, for other guys to get opportunities to make plays and earn their keep," Landry said. "In the first team meeting, coach Hue [Jackson] said you have to earn what you get. Other guys have opportunities to do that now."

The top two guys who figure to get those opportunities are Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Callaway's emergence in camp could be a big reason the Browns shipped off Coleman. Callaway hasn't played since his college sophomore season because of a suspension at Florida. Higgins is also in the mix and played in 15 games with Cleveland last year.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a tough matchup against the Rams' secondary, but there's also a chance for a shootout not that L.A.'s pass-catchers are back to health. JSN remains an interesting Flex play, while Lockett can't be trusted at this point.
