Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. suffered a groin injury during today’s practice, and the team wants to see how he feels this weekend before deciding whether he can play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

Browns also have ruled out TE David Njoku for Sunday’s game due to a knee injury.

Terrible news for Fannin managers, as he looked to be in a great spot against a Steelers defense ranking 28th in TE aFPA. Hopefully we get some clarity heading into Sunday, as he should be a locked-in volume-based, top-10 option if he's near 100%.

Browns injury designations for Sunday's game against the Bills:

QUESTIONABLE:
Sam Kamara
Wyatt Teller

OUT:
Jack Conklin
David Njoku
Winston Reid
Dylan Sampson
Denzel Ward
Deshaun Watson

Related Players: Quinshon Judkins, Harold Fannin

It should be another "rookie showcase" for Judkins and Fannin, but even with their heightened usages, they're not necessarily slam dunks in this offense. Consider them both as solid options due to volume.

Browns game status:
J. Bitonio- questionable
M. Corley - questionable
M. Graham - questionable
C. Tillman - questionable
Z. Zinter - questionable
J. Conklin - out
A. Huntington - out
David Njoku - out
Dylan Sampson - out
W. Teller - out
D. Ward - out
D. Watson - out

Related Players: Quinshon Judkins, Harold Fannin

This could help Judkins' floor a little based on some extra third-down work, which makes him a solid RB2 option.

Fannin also locks in as a great TE streamer with upside for a potential top-five finish.

Kevin Stefanski expects Cedric Tillman to play Sunday.

Shedeur Sanders will be the #2 QB.

Harold Fannin is questionable with a hamstring injury.

Related Players: David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash

It's probably best to avoid this Browns WR room wherever possible, but we've been getting plenty of good production out of the tight ends.

If Fannin were to miss, Njoku should be considered a low-end TE1.

Browns DE Isaiah McGuire (illness) returned to practice today.

Didn’t see LB Carson Schwesinger (ankle), TE Harold Fannin Jr., and WR Isaiah Bond (foot).

Related Players: David Njoku

This isn't a great sign coming out of the bye, particularly after Fannin popped up for his third double-digit fantasy performance of the year in Week 8. If he ends up being cleared, we should consider him a fringe TE1/2 option, but if he were to miss, Njoku should be started everywhere in a very winnable game.

This locks Fannin in as potentially the best streaming option of the week, and he should be viewed as a top-10 TE against the Dolphins defense.

Browns game status for Week 17 vs. the Dolphins:

Jameis Winston - questionable
David Njoku, Ogbo Okoronkwo and Cedric Tillman - out

Related Players: Jordan Akins

With Njoku out Akins should get plenty of run, but it's not quite enough to stick him in TE streaming considerations.

There isn't much more about the injury. Njoku was dealing with a hamstring injury coming into the game but still put up a 8-66-0 line in a Week 16 loss. Njoku has been on fire as of late, despite not playing in Week 15. He had a 7-42-1 line in Week 14 and a 9-52-2 line in Week 13. It doesn't seem to matter who the QB is, Njoku has been heavily involved so those counting on him in what is likely your Week 17 finals will want to monitor his practice schedule this week. The Browns host the Dolphins in a later Sunday window game.

Browns game status for Week 16 vs. the Bengals:

Martin Emerson Jr., David Njoku and Cedric Tillman - questionable

Shelby Harris - out

Related Players: Jordan Akins, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore

There are far better streamers available than Akins if Njoku is ruled out, even in a great matchup.

As for the WRs, Jeudy should continue to roll along as a WR3, regardless of Tillman's status.

Browns rule out WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) for Sunday vs.
Chiefs.
TE David Njoku (hamstring), LG Joel Bitonio (back), DT Mike Hall Jr. (knee), CB Myles Harden (tibia) listed as questionable.

Related Players: Jordan Akins, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore

Akins shouldn't be considered a streaming TE option if Njoku misses Sunday's game, as the team has already mentioned that they'll use a "tight end by committee" approach.

As for the WR group, we should expect things to remain top-heavy, with Jeudy operating as a fantasy WR2 and Moore as a low-end WR3.
