WR Will Fuller

Amari Cooper has been a fine addition to the team, overpaid, sure but clearly the best all-around player at his position. Donovan Peoples-Jones can be a good third receiver, as he does disappear from time to time but can also pull out out outlandish catches. Outside of that, this team is lacking at the receiver position.

Anthony Schwartz can’t catch, David Bell can catch but can’t get open, Michael Woods can’t get on the field and Demetric Felton is currently on milk cartons; because no one has seen him. The Browns receiving corp is the worst it’s been since the Hue Jackson era, and that’s not a good thing.

The Browns primarily rely on three receivers, Cooper, Peoples-Jones, and David Njoku, and that’s it. Everyone else has become a liability for Jacoby Brissett. And to clear up the misconception, Brissett isn’t the issue.

Adding Will Fuller may not fix the issue, and he may not even be an upgrade. Yet, the Browns have to figure out something to help generate offense outside of Nick Chubb. Fuller could come in and give the Browns a shot in the arm if he’s healthy, or he could be done as a player. Regardless, the Browns have to do something.
