Summary
Cleveland enters 2026 trying to overturn ESPN's No. 30 ranking for its WR-TE-RB group after an offseason push to upgrade a stagnant offense.
Two draft additions — KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston — join Jerry Jeudy, Harold Fannin Jr. and Dylan Sampson, giving the Browns a deeper set of playmakers than the ranking suggests.
Fannin Jr. offers the clearest proof point after leading the team in 2025 with 107 targets, 72 catches, 731 yards and seven touchdowns.
Quinshon Judkins also flashed before a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula ended his season; in 14 games, he posted 827 rushing yards, 171 receiving yards and seven rushing scores.
The ranking leaves Cleveland ahead of only Miami in the AFC, setting up 2026 as a test of whether its rebuilt offense can outperform league skepticism.
