Fantasy Impact: It will be challenging to assess Nick Chubb's fantasy outlook until we are able to see him on an NFL field again. Many are wondering whether he will return with the same athleticism and elusiveness that made him an elite fantasy option over the years. Chubb has a long injury history and his NFL future is somewhat in question heading into this offseason. Jerome Ford emerged as a reliable asset for many managers' teams last season. He will be a name to monitor if Chubb's recovery takes longer than initially expected.

Fantasy Impact: Driskel has appeared in 23 games since joining the league in 2018, posting a 56.6% competition percentage with 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The veteran will likely be a depth option for the team heading into the 2024 season.

The Cleveland Browns and newly acquired WR Jerry Jeudy have come to terms on a three-year contract extension to keep the former Alabama product through the 2027 season. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jeudy will make up to $58 million on his three-year extension with $41 million fully guaranteed at signing. Considering the largely insignificant capital needed to make the trade, Jeudy inks a solid extension to keep him in Cleveland before even playing a snap. He will be paired alongside WRs Elijah Moore and Amari Cooper and TE David Njoku with QB Deshaun Watson, arguably giving him the best supporting cast he's had in a while.

Fantasy Impact: Huntley signed with the team for the veteran minimum, so it is likely that he is just insurance at QB at this point. The team also has Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson on the roster behind starter Deshaun Watson.

Former Cleveland Browns TE Harrison Bryant is expected to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders at the start of the new league year. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bryant spent the first four seasons of his career with the Browns, who selected him out of FAU in the fourth round. Bryant began his career with three consecutive seasons in the 230s in receiving yards, playing 59%, 39% and 48% of offensive snaps, respectively. He saw a career-low in snap share (33%) and yards (81) in 2023, but he can provide depth behind TE Michael Mayer and provides in the special teams phase.

Fantasy Impact: Moore saw career-highs in targets (104), receptions (59) and receiving yards (640) in his first season with the Browns last season. He still wasn't fantasy relevant in his role, but he could hold a bigger role in the Browns offense next season.

Fantasy Impact: Garrett had a fantastic season, ending his season with 14 sacks. While it might not have been the most statistically dominant season overall, Garrett's presence on the field commanded attention from opposing offenses, opening up things for his teammates to make plays. He's a defensive cornerstone for the Browns and he'll look to build upon his season in 2024.

The Browns D/ST allowed 31 points while picking up three sacks and forcing one turnover in a 31-14 loss to the Bengals in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Cleveland rested several key players on defense so it is hard to take much away from their performance against the Bengals. They will now prepare to face off against the Texans on the road in next week's playoff game.

Riley Patterson made both of his extra points in a 31-14 loss to the Bengals in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Patterson was not asked to attempt any field goals in the regular-season finale. Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) is still nursing an injury so it remains to be seen who is Cleveland's kicker for next week's playoff game against the Texans.

David Bell caught all four of his targets for 68 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-14 loss to the Bengals in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Bell hauled in two fourth-quarter touchdowns in the regular-season finale. The second-year wideout wraps up the regular season with 14 catches for 167 yards and three touchdowns. With rookie Cedric Tillman suffering a concussion in Week 18, Bell could see an increased role in next week's playoff game against Houston.
