Harold Fannin

Browns down two key players on offense Browns have ruled out TE David Njoku and RB Dylan Sampson for Sunday s game at Chicago against the Bears. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: Both players missed practice all week. Njoku injured his knee in Week 14 while Sampson has both a calf and hand injury. Harold Fannin Jr. is going to be a popular play this week at the tight end position. Jerome Ford is on IR, so that leaves Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams behind Quinshon Judkins at running back.

Njoku did not practice all week after re-aggravating the injury in Week 14's game against the Titans. He had played through the knee listing for a few weeks. It's possible that Njoku gets shut down for the season with Cleveland eliminated from the playoffs. This rule out is great news for Harold Fannin's Week 15 prospects.

Tillman didn't practice either of the first two sessions of the week, but has a chance to play. He doesn't have much of a fantasy role at this point, as the Browns can only reliably count on Harold Fannin and Jerry Jeudy to deliver actual production. Tillman has not scored since September 14 and hasn't cracked 55 yards all season.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's totaled just seven targets over his last five games, so there's not a huge fantasy impact here. But Njoku's absence certainly doesn't hurt TE Harold Fannin's Week 15 outlook.

Njoku is on the wrong side of questionable now, expectedly freeing up extra snaps for rookie TE Harold Fannin Jr., who posted career highs in receptions (8) and receiving yards (114) while tying his career-high target sum (10). He also scored one touchdown. Fannin is a locked-in TE1.
