Stover played 14 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Titans in Week 11.

He was activated off injured reserve and played for the first time since Week 1. Injuries in the tight end room led to Stover opening the season as the clear backup to starter Dalton Schultz, but a broken foot shut him down until Sunday. With Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) landing on IR last week, Stover should resume his role as the top backup.

Schwesinger recorded a team-high 11 tackles, one pass defensed and an interception in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Schwesinger led the Browns in tackles for a second consecutive game and came up big with a pick after Cleveland had turned the ball over deep in its own territory. The rookie linebacker, who popped up on the injury report each of the last two weeks, played every snap on the defense for a second straight game. He leads the team with 85 tackles and is tied for the team lead with two interceptions.

Bush logged four tackles and returned an interception 23 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 11.

Buch was in position to grab a ball tipped in the air by the Ravens' Keaton Mitchell and navigated through traffic and multiple would-be tacklers to score his first touchdown since 2019. The interception was also his first since 2019. Along with the pick-six, Bush has amassed 66 tackles (1.0 sacks), five passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 10 games.

Corley caught both of his targets for nine yards and returned three kickoffs for 75 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Corley, who opened the year on the Browns' practice squad, has done a little bit of everything since being added to the active roster in Week 5. His major contributions have come on special teams, where the 2024 third-round pick has emerged as the team's top kick returner. In addition, the former Jet has caught four of five targets for 26 yards and carried the rock four times for 74 yards. Of note, Corley maintained his spot on the active roster ahead of Jamari Thrash, a 2024 fifth-round draft pick of the Browns, who was a healthy inactive Sunday to clear a spot for Isaiah Bond.

Bond had one carry for eight yards and did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 11.

Bond returned to action after missing one game due to a foot injury, prompting the Browns to make Jamari Thrash inactive. Bond played 23 snaps, third most among the team's wideouts behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. Unfortunately Cleveland's offense, particularly its passing attack, is such a mess that there's little value in the team's third wideout.

Larvadain was unable to secure his lone target and returned two punts for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Larvadain was on the field for just four offensive snaps but was in position to make an impact on his lone target. With just over a minute left in the game, the ball was in Larvadain's hands in the end zone, but Ravens cornerback Chidobe Awuzie ripped it from his grasp. The target was Larvadain's first since Week 7, and the four snaps Sunday make it clear where he stands on the depth chart. His main value to Cleveland is on special teams, and he leads the team with nine punt returns.

Ford had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore in Week 11.

In the two games following Cleveland's bye week, Ford has just one target and two carries while playing 31 snaps. It was mildly surprising that the Browns didn't trade him, given that Ford's in the final year of his contract. He currently shares the backup role with rookie Dylan Sampson.

Sampson had one carry for 19 yards, failed to catch his lone target and returned two kickoffs for 48 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens in Week 11.

Sampson had fewer snaps (six) than fellow backup Jerome Ford (13 snaps, one touch), but overall the recent trend has been that Sampson is Cleveland's No. 2 back for fantasy purposes. Regardless, both Ford and Sampson sit well behind Quinshon Judkins in the backfield pecking order.

Barner corralled 10 of 11 targets for 70 yards while taking two carries for one yard in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Rams.

Barner bounced back nicely from a zero-catch effort in Week 10 to post career-best marks in targets, receptions and yardage against the Rams. The sophomore tight end recorded two more carries on Seattle's variation of Philadelphia's "tush push," but only one attempt proved to be successful in the divisional loss. Barner's big game pushed him up to 31 receptions for 306 yards through 10 starts, surpassing his rookie year totals of 30 and 245, respectively.

Jeudy brought in three of seven targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.

Jeudy failed to build off the momentum from his season-best outing against the Jets in Week 11 (6-78-1), finishing third in receiving yards for the Browns despite leading the team with seven targets. It didn't help the veteran wideout that his starting quarterback was knocked out of the game at halftime, nor did he mesh well with replacement QB Shedeur Sanders, who completed 25 percent of his passes in relief. Cleveland's inconsistent play under center all season has limited Jeudy's production, making the wideout a risky fantasy play on a weekly basis.
