DAVID NJOKU

On a freezing day for football, the Browns' most jarring chill came at the end. Unable to deliver the big play in the clutch, quarterback Deshaun Watson's second home game ended with him being sacked, perhaps a fitting conclusion for a Cleveland season grounded from the start. Watson threw three incompletions in the final minute — tight end David Njoku dropped a possible tying TD with 30 seconds left — before being thrown for a loss on Cleveland's last play as the Browns lost 17-10 on Saturday to the New Orleans Saints.

Some of the Browns top players credited Jarvis Landry with being a key part of the turnaround in Cleveland. Landry returns to Cleveland Saturday with the Saints.

Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett was out sick and running back Nick Chubb was kept out of practice with a foot injury Tuesday as Cleveland began preparing for Saturday's game against New Orleans — and bone-chilling weather.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Chubb suffered an injury in last week's 13-3 win over Baltimore.

Etienne has been limited in practice all week after he left last week’s win over the Baltimore Ravens early with a foot injury. Carter has been the team’s leading rusher since he took over for Breece Hall, who went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 7.

Tom Brady had never lost before when leading by seven points or more in the final two minutes of regulation. Here's how it happened on Sunday.

Jacoby Brissett didn't have the best game but found David Njoku to force overtime, and his pass to Amari Cooper helped set up the game-winning score.

Nick Chubb scored on a 3-yard touchdown run with 19 seconds left in overtime and Cleveland rallied to stun Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-17 in Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s final start before Deshaun Watson returns from his suspension.

Week 8 will take two of the better tight ends off the board for fantasy managers with the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers on bye. Travis Kelce is fantasy's top-scoring tight end through seven weeks, averaging 17.6 points per game in .5 PPR leagues. Gerald Everett clearly isn't in the same tight end tier as Kelce, but he's been a solid option (TE7 on the season) at fantasy's weakest position. So what does the tight end landscape look like without Kelce, Everett or Njoku? Other tight ends available in more than 50% of leagues worth consideration include Evan Engram and Irv Smith Jr.See how all the tight ends stack up in our fantasy analysts' Week 8 rankings:powered by FantasyProsECR ™ -

The Patriots get a Browns run defense allowing 5.3 YPC, the most EPA/rush (0.17) by a wide margin and the third-most fantasy points to running backs. The Jets have gone run-heavy with Zach Wilson and get a Packers run defense that ranks 30th in DVOA this week. He gets a Colts defense Sunday that's tough against the run yet allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Xavien Howard's possible return would help, but the Dolphins have allowed both the fourth-most EPA/pass and fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. The Rams have been gashed for the most fantasy points to Moore's primary side this season.
