QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Deshaun Watson	512.9	334.7	3795.5	25.65	12.82	80.3	393.5	4.02	292.25
Joshua Dobbs	34.2	20.3	229.1	1.2	0.99	7.3	37.2	0.15	16.6

Deshaun Watson: Appearing in only six games over the past two seasons, Watson started slow (under 13 fantasy points in three of his first four games) but closed 2022 with two solid performances — 21.9 (weekly QB8) and 19.6 (QB6), respectively. Given his dual-threat skill set, he has plenty of upside for a quarterback drafted as a back-end QB1.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Nick Chubb	272.5	1308	9.13	38	303.9	1.7	245.17
Jerome Ford	98.3	422.7	2.56	18.5	134.8	0.6	83.96
John Kelly	19.5	81.9	0.49	7.8	56.3	0.2	21.86
Demetric Felton Jr.	2.4	9.8	0.06	3.4	28.2	0.2	7.06

Nick Chubb: Chubb has a career average of 5.2 yards per carry, but he has also yet to average fewer than 5.0 YPC in any of his first five NFL seasons. The talented back carried the ball 302 times last season for 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns, all of which set or tied career highs. While he's averaged only 1.6 receptions per game over his career, his passing-game role may (or should) expand with Kareem Hunt no longer on the roster.

Jerome Ford: While Kareem Hunt had a disappointing 2022 season, we've seen how productive a second back could be for the Browns in previous seasons. At a minimum, Ford becomes fantasy-relevant as a Chubb's handcuff.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Amari Cooper	75.1	984	6.5	0	0	0	174.95
Elijah Moore	54.5	668.1	4.3	3.4	19.6	0.17	122.84
Donovan Peoples-Jones	50.2	637.9	4.2	0	0	0	114.09
Cedric Tillman	12.4	157	1.2	0	0	0	29.1
Marquise Goodwin	10.1	132.8	1	1.5	9.4	0.06	25.63
David Bell	9.8	110.7	0.8	0	0	0	20.77

Amari Cooper: Cooper finished his first season as a Browns with 78 receptions for 1,160 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns. Finishing the year as fantasy's WR9 (half-PPR scoring), Cooper had six top-12 weeks, but he also finished outside the top 50 wide receivers six times. It was the sixth 1,000-yard season of Cooper's eight-year career. In theory, a full season with Deshaun Watson under center should be good for Cooper's 2023 fantasy outlook, but there is increased competition for targets with the additions of Elijah Moore, Marquise Goodwin and Cedric Tillman.

Elijah Moore: Before an injury ended his rookie season prematurely, Moore had 34 catches for 459 yards and five touchdowns over his final six games in 2021. (Moore was so good during that span that only Justin Jefferson had more fantasy points over that stretch.) When he was on the field in 2022, things didn't go as well, but he'll get an opportunity to reset with the Browns in 2023.

Donovan Peoples-Jones: DPJ played a full 17-game season, and he shattered previous career highs in targets (96), receptions (61) and yards (839). Unforuntately, it could be difficult to improve upon those numbers with increased competition around him.

David Bell: The Browns used a top-100 pick on Bell in 2022, but The Athletic's Zac Jackson wrote in June that "I don't see" Bell "making this team."

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
David Njoku	50.9	567.5	4.3	1.5	9	0.06	109.26
Harrison Bryant	14	136.8	1	0	0	0	26.68
Jordan Akins	10.3	106.7	1	0	0	0	21.82

David Njoku: Njoku missed three games in 2022, but it was otherwise a career year for the athletic tight end. He averaged 4.1 receptions and 44.9 yards per game, both of which were career highs. Njoku finished ninth in half-PPR points per game in 2022.

Cleveland Browns Fantasy Football Projections 2022

Our 2022 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2022 fantasy football projections for the Cleveland Browns.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jacoby Brissett	328.5	205.3	2118.8	11.83	4.93	49.9	174.7	1.25	147.18
Deshaun Watson	173.4	116.4	1343.9	8.84	4.16	23.7	116.1	0.71	96.67
Joshua Dobbs	23.6	14.6	155.8	0.9	0.64	2.5	10.6	0.05	9.91

Jacoby Brissett: Deshaun Watson's 11-game suspension makes Brissett the starter for the majority of the 2022 season. In his two seasons as a full-time starter (2017 and 2019), he finished as fantasy's QB20 and QB23, respectively. He's a low-upside option when he starts and he'll lose his starting gig during the fantasy playoffs, which makes him only a consideration in 2-QB formats.

Deshaun Watson: Suspended for the first 11 games of the season, Watson is eligible to return in Week 13 against his former team (Houston Texans). Especially for those in 2-QB formats, Watson would provide a significant boost for the fantasy playoffs. While he also did not play a snap in 2021, Watson has finished as fantasy's QB4, QB4 and QB5 in his three NFL seasons as a full-time starter. In other words, he will be a top-10 option (or better) in fantasy from Week 13 on.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Nick Chubb	233.3	1119.8	8.4	29.4	231.6	1.3	208.04
Kareem Hunt	119.8	533.1	3.59	44.2	345.6	1.9	142.91
D'Ernest Johnson	42.2	196.2	1.18	9.8	76	0.5	42.2
Demetric Felton	4	16.4	0.09	9.1	70.6	0.4	16.19
Jerome Ford	14.2	62.5	0.39	3.5	25.3	0.1	13.47

Nick Chubb: One of the league's best pure runners, Chubb has yet to finish with fewer than 996 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns or 5.0 yards per carry in a season. Even though he's missed a total of seven games over the past two seasons combined, Chubb has finished his four seasons as fantasy's RB16, RB7, RB9 and RB11, respectively, in half-PPR scoring.

Kareem Hunt: Entering the final year of his contract, Hunt had requested a trade but the Browns have rejected that request. No team has a more talented duo on their roster than Chubb and Hunt, who was the NFL's rushing champion in 2017 as a rookie with Kansas City. Given his versatile skill set, Hunt provides stand-alone flex value when Chubb is active and RB1 upside when/if Chubb misses time.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Amari Cooper	74	877.5	5.3	0	0	0	156.55
Donovan Peoples-Jones	33.6	445.1	2.6	0	0	0	76.91
David Bell	31.3	381.8	2.3	0	0	0	67.63
Anthony Schwartz	19.8	266	1.5	9.5	59.9	0.48	54.37
Michael Woods II	2.7	28.9	0.2	0	0	0	5.44

Amari Cooper: No longer in Dallas, Cooper won't face the same kind of target competition in Cleveland as he's clearly the team's No. 1 receiver in 2022. That said, there is plenty of risk to the passing offense in general with Deshaun Watson suspended for 11 games. Cooper has five 1,000-yard campaigns in seven seasons.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
David Njoku	47.4	546.4	3.4	0	0	0	98.74
Harrison Bryant	31.4	323.9	2.2	0	0	0	61.29

David Njoku: Njoku finished 2021 with 36 catches for 475 yards and four touchdowns. The only Browns with more receptions last season -- Jarvis Landry (52) and Austin Hooper (38) -- are no longer on the roster, although the team traded for Amari Cooper. I expect Njoku to finish second on the team in receiving across the board, behind only Cooper.

Green Bay Packers 2022 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 3.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, we will update our Green Bay Packers Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Green Bay Packers from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

For a more inclusive lists of mock drafts for the Green Bay Packers, check out our Green Bay Packers Mock Draft Database.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Packers:

CBS Sports - Chris Trapasso (1/20)

32. Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State

Surprise! McBride is an athletic, pass-catching monster at the tight end position who'd be a welcomed addition in Green Bay, regardless of who the team's quarterback is next year.

ESPN - Mel Kiper (1/19)

32. Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State

Is Aaron Rodgers staying in Green Bay or not? That's the ominous cloud that will hang over the team's offseason. Either way, I don't see it letting superstar wideout Davante Adams leave in free agency, so let's move to the other top need on offense. Robert Tonyan snagged 11 touchdowns in 2020, but he tore his ACL in October and is a free agent in the offseason. The Packers could bring him back on a short-term deal, or they could find a long-term solution with McBride, the draft's best tight end. He caught 90 passes for 1,121 yards in 2021, and he's also a good blocker.

The Athletic - Dane Brugler (1/19)

32. DeMarvin Leal, IDL, Texas A&M

The Packers love toolsy front-seven defenders, and Leal is exactly that. He isn't yet the sum of his parts, which is why he could still be available at this point in the first round. But at 6-4 and 290 pounds, Leal can line up anywhere on the defensive line and has the traits to develop into a productive starter.

PFF - Austin Gayle (1/17)

32. Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State

Green Bay is the current betting favorite to win the Super Bowl, and that's only because Aaron Rodgers decided to look past his relationship with the front office and chase a ring with Davante Adams & Co. General manager Brian Gutekunst should double down on keeping Rodgers happy and attack the wide receiver position at the back end of Round 1.

Penn State's Jahan Dotson can win on the outside and from the slot. He earned 75.0-plus PFF grades in 2020 and 2021 and currently ranks 30th on PFF's draft board.

Baltimore Sun - C.J. Doon (1/14)

32. Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State

Depending on what happens with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, there aren't a ton of holes on the Packers' roster. The 6-3, 256-pound Ebiketie, who recorded eight sacks and 52 pressures this season after transferring from Temple, would provide solid depth if Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith don't stick around in Green Bay.

Athlon Sports - Bryan Fischer (1/13)

32. David Bell, WR, Purdue

Assuming he's still around, Aaron Rodgers finally gets some first-round draft help in the form of the playmaking Bell. His ability to make incredible catches and haul in difficult throws make him a nice insurance policy as much as a potential complement to Davante Adams should the latter return in 2022.

San Diego Union Tribune - Eddie Brown (1/13)

32. David Bell, WR, Purdue

It's very likely Davante Adams doesn't stick around if Aaron Rodgers is elsewhere. Bell has gotten lost in the shuffle with the top available wide receivers, but his route-running is advanced and his YAC ability should make him an impact player early in his career. He definitely deserves first-round consideration.

USA Today - Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz (1/12)

32. Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

If Green Bay is able to complete its reconciliation with Aaron Rodgers, what better way to celebrate the repaired relationship than by granting him his long-awaited first-round receiver? With his go-up-and-get-it play style and strong hands, Burks could endear himself quickly to Rodgers as a jump-ball target and complement to Davante Adams, who also has to address his future in Green Bay amid his expiring contract.

For The Win - Charles McDonald (1/12)

32. Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC

The Packers don't have many needs, but they could use another young, cheap contract along their pass rushing front.

The Draft Network - Joe Marino (1/10)

32. Daniel Fa'alele, OT, Minnesota

The depth of the Packers' offensive line has been stressed across the last few seasons and the team has had to say goodbye to a few long-term fixtures. The need to replenish the group remains, regardless of who is under center in 2022 and beyond.

Daniel Faalele is a massive man with rare mobility for his size. He could immediately stabilize the right tackle position and strengthen the nucleus of young blockers in the mix for the Packers to improve the starting unit--and while doing so, make the group deeper.

Tennessee Titans 2022 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 2.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2021 NFL draft, we will update our Tennessee Titans Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Tennessee Titans from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

CBS Sports - Edwards (11/25)

31. Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn

Tennessee's defensive line has allowed that unit to play much better but they still need help at cornerback. Roger McCreary is a senior that just improves each week.

NBC Sports Chicago - Morgan (11/24)

31. Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State

Dotson is a heart-stopping vertical threat, that defenders struggle to contain, let alone prevent from embarrassing them downfield. Throughout his tenure at Penn State, Dotson averaged 15.0 yards per catch and totaled 24 touchdowns. The Titans reliance on their All-Pro running back, Derrick Henry, has made them less effective in the passing game. An athletic talent with the quick twitch suddenness Dotson possesses, can attack from anywhere on the field and help balance Tennessee's one-note offense.

NBC Sports Philly - Roche (11/23)

31. Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia

Georgia could become the Linebacker U of this era of college football, and Dean is the latest model on Georgia's showroom floor. Not imposing in size, but Dean is everywhere on the field. Goes sideline to sideline as good as anyone, and would fit in very well in Mike Vrabel's defensive unit.

The Draft Network - Sanchez (11/22)

31. Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah

Devin Lloyd is a true ILB that plays the game physically, which fits the philosophy of the Tennessee Titans and is also something his head coach Mike Vrabel will appreciate.

PFF - Treash (11/22)

31. David Bell, WR, Purdue

Bell came into 2021 with a lot of hope and expectations after a couple of promising years as an underclassman, and the Boilermaker has lived up to the billing. Bell earned 77.3 and 76.2 PFF grades as a true freshman and sophomore, and he currently has an 87.6 mark with just a couple of games left in his 2021 campaign. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound wide receiver has fared far better going up against single coverage this season while maintaining his strong play in tight coverage and top-notch body control. Bell has also been more of a threat after the catch with 25 broken tackles on 86 receptions.

ESPN - Reid (11/17)

32. Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia

Dean, who plays with infectious energy levels and physicality, is the leader of the vaunted Georgia defense that has surrendered an FBS-leading 7.6 points per game. He has had a standout junior season, racking up 51 tackles, 4.5 sacks and two interceptions. While his size won't clear the thresholds for some teams -- he's 6 feet, 225 pounds -- he's the exact type of versatile option the Titans need in the middle of their defense.
