Cleveland Browns: Top 5 fantasy football impact players
By Cory Kinnan
Preparing way in advance for the 2019 fantasy football season, the Cleveland Browns are set to have multiple contributors. Here are their top five.
The most important draft now that the 2019 NFL Draft has concluded will be each of the millions of fantasy football drafts that will take place as the season draws closer. While it may be too early to make any sort of fantasy rankings, post-draft is a good time to refresh each team’s contributors and who could see their fantasy significance rise or fall. For once, the Cleveland Browns have a handful of significant contributors to keep tabs on once fantasy football season rolls around.
Last year, Carlos Hyde got off to a torrid fantasy pace before bottoming out and being traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Rashard Higgins made himself a FLEX option as the season moved along.
After a fantastic season in 2017, Duke Johnson became a non-factor on the field and in fantasy line-ups; do not expect him to provide much more than a late-round flyer in this year’s draft either.
The Browns did not add any rookies to skill positions during the draft (other than a kicker), so their offense is fairly set in stone for the 2019 season. Having said that, this is a group that should look much different still than they did a season ago.
Here are the top-five fantasy options for the talented Browns’ roster for this year’s fantasy football extravaganza.
