The Browns’ offensive line has been hit hard, with Dawand Jones早 season-ending injury against Green Bay and lingering questions surrounding Joel Bitonio and Jack Conklin. With the front five banged up, Cleveland is weighing veteran options, notably La'el Collins, to anchor at tackle or guard and mentor the youth. The club recently added Thayer Munford Jr., but Cornelius Lucas remains a depth piece in need of stable protection for quarterback Joe Flacco. The move could shift protection and pressure dynamics, impacting both the run game and passing efficiency for fantasy owners.

As Collins circumnavigates his latest NFL chapter, fantasy players should watch how quickly he lands a starting role, his fit on either tackle spot, and whether the Browns improve pocket time and sack avoidance. A healthy Collins could elevate Browns receivers and backs by reducing hurried throws and creating clearer running lanes, making Cleveland’s offense more fantasy-friendly in a crowded division.
