Cleveland Browns RB RolesLast Update: 3/20/2024
RB Overview
Role Security: High
03/20/24 Nick Chubb is returning from a serious knee injury. When Chubb's healthy, he's expected to return to his role as the lead RB. Chubb would handle early-down carries and a high percentage of red-zone work. D'Onta Foreman and Jerome Ford could rotate behind Chubb. If that's the case, Foreman is more likely to see rushing attempts while Ford would be used in passing situations.
WR Overview
03/20/24 Amari Cooper should continue to dominate targets as the lead WR. After Elijah Moore struggled in the No. 2 role last year, Jerry Jeudy was acquired in a trade and then signed for three years. Expect Jeudy to be a full-time player across from Cooper. Moore and Cedric Tillman are the most likely players to win the No. 3 role.
TE Overview
03/20/24 David Njoku should be a full-time player who sees significant target volume. However, Njoku's targets were unusually high when Joe Flacco was the QB. WIth Deshaun Watson at QB, Njoku's targets could see a reduction from 2023.
