Browns Beat: 'all signs pointing' to Corey Coleman as WR1

Jul 10, 2016

Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot answered a question about Corey Coleman being the Browns No. 1 receiver this season:

All signs are pointing that way. Coleman still has a lot to learn about running a pro style offense, but he's fiercely competitive and working his tail off. In spring practices, he showed tremendous athleticism and good hands. Now, he needs to improve his route-running and his mastery of Hue Jackson's offense. Once he learns the nuances of the position and the complicated pro-style route tree — as opposed to the simple assignments he had at Baylor — he'll play faster and his athleticism will take over.

Fantasy Impact:

This offseason, he vowed to work out with Robert Griffin III to perfect their timing and chemistry. Expect them to look very much on the same page at the start of camp, Cabot went on to say. Coleman gets a pretty respectable ranking on our list at 39. The athletic Coleman is on the small side (5’11”) so the team will need to manufacture touches.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

— The 49ers ruled out LT Trent Williams (ankle) and S Malik Mustapha (chest), but RB Isaac Guerendo (foot) is questionable. So is Dre Greenlaw, who was full today.
— The Rams ruled out TE Tyler Higbee (knee) and Cobie Durant (chest).

Rams are listing WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), and TE Davis Allen (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night’s game versus the 49ers.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
