The Browns head into joint practice with a high-profile, two-day session against the Eagles. Fifteen Browns players are spotlighted for a show-me environment that could sharpen fantasy value across the offense and defense. Shedeur Sanders leads the way as a rookie quarterback in a contract-year orbit, while Joe Flacco provides veteran stability. Jerry Jeudy offers surgical route-running against Philadelphia’s secondary. David Njoku aims to capitalize on a contract year, with Jerome Ford expected to lead the backfield and Joel Bitonio stabilizing the interior. The defense centers on Myles Garrett’s pass rush, with a young group around him including Mason Graham, Carson Schwesinger, Denzel Ward, Grant Delpit, Ronnie Hickman, and Cameron Mitchell. Philadelphia’s top-ranked defense looms, but the Browns’ depth could create multiple fantasy leverage points over the two days.

Expect Sanders to test the Eagles’ coverage, and watch how Njoku and Ford convert opportunities into dependable fantasy outputs as the Browns push for a decisive two-day showing. Bitonio’s return anchors the line, while Davis and Johnson provide potential sleeper targets if the offense leans into quick-game concepts. Garrett’s play will be a barometer for how quickly Cleveland can transition pressure into splash plays. In sum, the practices should yield clear signals on where fantasy value could swing in Cleveland’s offense and defense, especially for those holding Browns exposure heading into the season.

The AFC North showdown on Sunday features the struggling Cleveland Browns facing the high-flying Baltimore Ravens. With a record of 1-6, the Browns hope for a spark as Jameis Winston steps in for the injured Deshaun Watson. Meanwhile, the Ravens, boasting a 5-2 record, are riding a five-game winning streak, led by MVP candidate Lamar Jackson.

Both teams have faced challenges; the Ravens' defense has been shaky, allowing over 20 points in most games, while the Browns' offense has struggled significantly. Betting trends favor Baltimore, with the Ravens having a strong record against the spread and on the road.

The Baltimore Ravens are facing potential challenges ahead of their game against the Cleveland Browns, with key players Zay Flowers and Marlon Humphrey missing practice due to injuries. Flowers, the leading receiver, and Humphrey, the team's interception leader, were both hurt in the previous game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Additionally, the Ravens have other injury concerns, including rookie running back Rasheen Ali and cornerback T.J. Tampa. Defensive tackle Travis Jones is also dealing with an ankle injury, while several other players have shown improvement in practice.

On the Browns' side, center Ethan Pocic and defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson returned to practice, though Pocic was limited. Other key players such as running back Jerome Ford and left tackle Jedrick Wills continued to miss practice due to injuries.
