ANTHONY SCHWARTZ NEWS

Scores on opening drive Schwartz caught one of two targets for 17 yards and had one carry for a 31-yard touchdown run in Sunday's 23-17 overtime victory of Tampa Bay.

Impact Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski has prepared well on scripted opening drives and that continued Sunday, the sixth time in 11 games the Browns have struck on their opening possession. Schwartz, who has been invisible on offense this season, took a double-reverse flip from Kareem Hunt and followed superb blocking by quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wideout Amari Cooper to give Cleveland the early lead. It was Schwartz's first touchdown since Week 16 of 2021. The Browns drafted the speedy wideout with the idea of getting the ball into his hands in non-conventional ways, but his snaps were curtailed after the season opener. After Week 1, Schwartz had just one catch and five targets over the nine games entering Sunday's contest.

Makes first catch since Week 1 Schwartz caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 39-17 loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.

Impact Schwartz hauled in his first pass since Week 1 while playing 12 snaps, his most since Week 6. He's been marginalized due to a series of mistakes and drops, sitting fifth on the depth chart. For a time in 2021, Schwartz a return role on kickoffs, but that spot now belongs to rookie Jerome Ford.

Browns Anthony Schwartz a Healthy Scratch Against Ravens A disappointing second season to this point has led to wide receiver Anthony Schwartz being inactive.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Healthy scratch Week 7 Schwartz (coach's decision) is inactive Week 7 against Baltimore.

Impact Schwartz will be a healthy scratch after suiting up each of the past three weeks, though considering he hasn't recorded a catch since Week 1, his absence shouldn't cause any issues for the offense. Rookie Michael Woods was active for the first time last week and even caught one of his two targets, so it's possible he has surpassed Schwartz on the depth chart.

Gets three garbage-time targets Schwartz did not catch any of three targets in Sunday's 38-15 loss to New England in Week 6.

Impact Schwartz has been invisible all season, but got some late-game run when the Browns were down by three scores. And it wasn't a very impressive showing for the second-year wideout, who dropped passes on consecutive plays on Cleveland's final drive. A case of the drops is largely why Schwartz has seen limited playing time this season.

Gets first target since Week 1 Schwartz did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Chargers in Week 5.

Impact The target was the first since Week 1 for Schwartz, who played a season low eight snaps on offense. The 2021 third-round pick has yet to make an impact and has apparently fallen out of favor.

Invisible in loss Schwartz played 11 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Schwartz's diminished role continued in Week 4, the third consecutive week in which he saw 12 snaps or fewer without getting a target. One possible path to relevancy is in the return game after Jerome Ford, who had handled kick returns the last three games, suffered an ankle injury. Demetric Felton replaced Ford as the kickoff returner Sunday, but that was Schwartz's role for a long stretch in 2021.

Playing time dwindling Schwartz was not targeted and played five snaps in Thursday's 29-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 3.

Impact Schwartz's playing time has dropped in successive weeks, from Week 1's 22 snaps to 12 then five. He has return experience and was in the mix during preseason, but those chores have gone to others the first three weeks. Schwartz is offering little to the Browns or fantasy managers.

Goes untargeted in loss Schwartz was not targeted over 12 snaps in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

Impact Schwartz's playing time slipped from 23 snaps in Week 1, one more than rookie David Bell, to 12 in Week 2, eight fewer than Bell. The Browns have a quick turnaround for Week 3's matchup with the Steelers on Thursday. Thus far, only tight ends Jesse James (wrist, out) and Harrison Bryant (thumb, thigh) are banged up, so it might be more of the same for Schwartz this week.

Makes two grabs Schwartz caught two of three targets for 20 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 21-20 preseason loss to the Eagles.

Impact Schwartz got open for a couple of out routes, but rookie David Bell outperformed him with three catches for 46 yards in his preseason debut. With Amari Cooper cemented as the Browns' top wideout, Schwartz figures to compete with Bell and Donovan Peoples-Jones for complementary targets during the upcoming campaign.

Bounces back Schwartz made a highlight reel catch during Tuesday's session, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Schwartz made news during Cleveland's preseason opener against the Jaguars last Friday for dropping two passes thrown by quarterback Deshaun Watson. The quarterback was sure to provide encouragement to the second year wideout, per Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal, which helped get over the disappointment. Also helping was the catch he made with the first-team offense Tuesday, an over-the-shoulder grab of a Jacoby Brissett pass while sliding into the pylon for what would have been a touchdown. "I think the big thing for any of us when we drop a pass, make a bad call or whatever it is, you have to move on," Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "I think he has done a nice job of moving on because that is part of being a receiver is moving past those type of plays." Schwartz has had ups and downs since being drafted in the third round of the 2021 draft, so he's had some practice at being resilient. He's more of wideout but could fill-in at the slot if needed. He's currently penciled in as the fourth wideout behind Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones and rookie slot man David Bell.
