Scouting report

CLE WR Jarvis Landry - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Patriots

Jarvis Landry has caught 13-of-23 targets for 113 yards in his last three games. While the production hasn't been there, you have to love the volume. He's the clear-cut number-one target in this passing game, which raises his weekly floor. Keep an eye on his status, as he's currently dealing with a knee injury, but all signs point towards him playing on Sunday.

Landry goes up against a Patriots defense that ranks sixth in AFPA, so this is a tough matchup, especially with the Browns likely to lean on the running game. It's hard to see Landry approaching his weekly ceiling in this game environment, as it projects as a low-scoring affair with a 45.5-point total. Consider him a low-end WR3 in this spot.

CLE WR Jarvis Landry - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Bengals

Jarvis Landry has been a target hog since returning from injury, combining for 18 targets in his last two games. Odell Beckham Jr. is no longer reporting to the team, which makes Landry the clear-cut number one wideout in this offense. It's likely that we'll see him continue to be peppered with targets, putting him in play as an every-week WR3 going forward.

Cincinnati ranks 25th in aFPA to wide receivers, so Landry will have a chance to hit his ceiling in this matchup. If the Browns have trouble containing this Bengals' passing game, you could see Landry really go off here. It wouldn't surprise me to see him put up double-digit targets in this matchup.

CLE WR Jarvis Landry - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Steelers

Landry returned to the lineup against the Broncos and immediately dominated target share, catching 5-of-8 targets for 37 yards, including a wide-open look in the endzone, but Case Keenum missed him. Landry was able to get a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice, so he should be good to go without any restrictions.

While the matchup sets up better for Beckham's skillset, Landry looks like a strong bet to lead the team in targets. The Browns will likely play run-heavy here, which caps Landry's ceiling, but he's the safest option out of these wide receivers, especially in full-PPR formats.

CLE WR Jarvis Landry - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Broncos

We just got the late news that Jarvis Landry will be activated on IR and suit up for tonight's game. You have to think that he'll have close to a full workload if the Browns are allowing him to play, especially with Odell Beckham Jr. likely out for this game.

We can fire up Landry as a WR3 in this spot. While there is still risk that he doesn't play as much, that risk is mitigated by the upside for high volume given the Browns' injuries on offense.

CLE WR Jarvis Landry - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Texans

Landry had a strong game against the Chiefs, catching all five of his targets for 71 yards and adding 13 rushing yards with a touchdown. He finished as the WR17 in half-PPR formats. Landry tied for the team lead with an 18.52% target share, while playing a vast majority of the snaps at 86.44%. He should once again carry the load with Odell Beckham Jr. sidelined for another week.

Landry has a great matchup against a Texans defense that ranked 26th in aFPA to wide receivers last season. This defense gave up a 33-yard reception to Marvin Jones Jr. and a 41-yard catch to D.J. Chark, so Landry will have opportunities to make a splash play here. The risk here is that the Browns won't have to pass too much in this game, especially with how porous this Texans run defense is, but Landry's volume should be enough to help him provide upside WR3 value in this spot.

CLE WR Jarvis Landry - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Kansas City Chiefs

Jarvis Landry enters Week 1 as the safest wideout on the Browns, which puts him on the WR3 radar in a game that projects to be a high-scoring affair. Landry finished really strong last year, totaling 62 targets in his last seven games (including postseason). While OBJ is back, we could see Landry continue to function as the target hog in this offense. That bodes well in a game where the Browns will likely be forced to air it out to keep pace with the Chiefs.

The risk here is that Landry takes a backseat to Beckham and the Browns are successful with a run-heavy approach, resulting in low volume for Landry. Still, this seems like an unlikely scenario given that it’s OBJ”s return from a torn ACL. I would expect Landry to lead the Browns in targets in this game, along with plenty of opportunities for touchdowns. Landry posted a 24.59% red-zone target share last season.

CLE WR Jarvis Landry - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Jarvis Landry caught 72-of-101 targets for 840 yards (11.7 Y/R) and three touchdowns, finishing as WR40 in half-PPR points per game. Landry had finished as WR23 and WR27 in his previous two years with the Browns. This range looks like Landry’s upside as he enters his age-29 season. Playing in a run-heavy offense with several weapons, it’s going to be difficult for Landry to reach this level unless there is an injury to a marquee player on the Browns. For example, if OBJ were to miss time, a plausible scenario given his return from a torn ACL, Landry would immediately slot in as the team’s WR1 and see a bump in targets. We could also see the Browns increase their passing volume if Nick Chubb got injured, which would benefit Landry. We should note that he came into the 2020 season coming off offseason hip surgery, so there’s a chance that this suppressed his production.

Fantasy Downside

Landry is one of those players who can be considered a floor pick with a narrow range of outcomes. This isn’t a wide receiver who is going to ascend past the low-tier WR2 range in terms of fantasy production. At the same time, he’ll still play a significant role in the Browns’ offense, so there’s not as much risk with Landry falling off and becoming a WR4 who acts as a depth piece for your fantasy team. The worst-case scenario is that the Browns play extremely run-heavy and are only able to support one fantasy-relevant wide receiver, which would likely be OBJ.

2021 Bottom Line

Landry is a floor pick who can help add stability to your roster, especially if you targeted high-upside wide receivers like CeeDee Lamb and Chase Claypool with your earlier draft picks. Currently being drafted as WR46 (92.7 ADP), Landry is being selected at his floor, which makes him a solid value. But due to his lack of upside, it’s important to consider your roster construction before targeting him. If you already have wide receivers like Adam Thielen and JuJu Smith-Schuster, it’s not a good idea to go after Landry because you already have two floor picks with narrow ranges of outcomes. Landry looks like a player on the WR3/4 fringe heading into the 2021 season.
