Rashard Higgins catches three passes in Week 9.

Higgins gained 19 yards on his three receptions in his first game after missing the last three with an MCL sprain. Higgins will look to do more damage in his second game back from the injury next week against Atlanta.

Jarvis Landry catches six passes against the Chiefs.

Landry was targeted seven times in the Browns’ Week 9 loss, gaining 50 yards on his six receptions. Landry remains a stronger option in PPR leagues than standard leagues in his first season in Cleveland, but he’ll look to have a big game overall next week against the Falcons.

Antonio Callaway catches three passes in Browns’ loss.

Callaway gained 51 yards on his three receptions (five targets) against the Chiefs. This was the rookie receiver’s highest receiving total since Week 4, so he’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option right now.

David Njoku catches four passes in Week 9.

Njoku was targeted five times against the Chiefs, gaining 53 yards on his four receptions, including a nice juggling catches off a deflection. The only target Njoku didn’t come up with was when he was open and targeted on a deep corner route that was overthrown by Baker Mayfield. The second-year tight end faces the Falcons next week in a game the Browns might need to score a lot of points in.

Duke Johnson Jr. scores twice in Browns’ loss.

Johnson was an efficient receiver for Baker Mayfield and Cleveland’s offense, catching nine passes (on nine targets) for 78 yards and two touchdowns along with one carry for eight yards. The first score was a 19-yarder on a pass to the flat, where Johnson broke a tackle and then walked into the end zone. And the second score was a short pass over the middle late in the game. New offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens might want to get Johnson more involved moving forward after there was a lot of talk but inconsistent results of that happening under previous head coach Hue Jackson. Johnson could be entering the FLEX conversation in standard leagues and a stronger option in PPR leagues, but there’s some risk in immediately trusting him.

Breshad Perriman gets four touches in Week 9.

Perriman carried two times for nine yards and caught two passes for 36 yards against the Chiefs. The former first-round receiver is looking to carve out a nice role with the Browns moving forward, but he’s not a redraft fantasy option right now.
