Saints' Top Plays vs. Browns | 2022 NFL Week 16
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Double-digit targets in loss Cooper secured six of 10 targets for 72 yards in the Browns' 17-10 loss to the Saints on Saturday.
Impact Cooper comfortably led the Browns in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, serving as one of the few bright spots for Cleveland's passing attack in frigid conditions. The veteran's numbers were his best yet in four games with Deshaun Watson as his quarterback, and he'll aim to improve on them in a Week 17 road battle versus the Commanders on Jan. 1.

Heavy workload in loss Chubb rushed 24 times for 92 yards and brought in his only target for 10 yards in the Browns' 17-10 loss to the Saints on Saturday.
Impact Chubb enjoyed a hefty workload in the frigid Cleveland conditions, logging his second-highest carry total of the season. He worked hard against a Saints defense that had been vulnerable to the run on the road, as outside of his long run of 19 yards, he gained 73 yards on 23 rush attempts. The talented back now has consecutive 20-plus-carry, 90-plus-yard tallies, sending him into a Week 17 road battle versus the Commanders with some momentum.

Comes up short in key game Watson completed 15 of 31 passes for 135 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Browns' 17-10 loss to the Saints on Saturday. He also rushed three times for 24 yards...
Impact Watson's lackluster final line tells the story of how sluggish an offensive performance it was overall in the frigid conditions in Cleveland. Watson found his most success when targeting Amari Cooper, who he hit on six occasions for 72 yards, and he also put some points on the board with a 12-yard scoring scramble on the first play of the second quarter. However, success through the air was unsurprisingly elusive due to the weather and a stingy Saints secondary, leaving Watson with his third sub-200-yard effort in the first four games of his Browns career. The loss eliminated Cleveland from postseason contention, but Watson will aim to continue knocking off rust in a Week 17 road matchup against the Commanders on Jan. 1.

Stepping in for Clowney Wright is slated to start at defensive end opposite Myles Garrett in Saturday's game against the Saints, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wright will be entering the starting lineup as a replacement for Jadeveon Clowney (concussion), who is inactive for the contest. In 14 appearances this season, Wright has logged 23 tackles and no sacks.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Healthy scratch Week 16 Felton (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Saturday's game against the Saints.
Impact Felton helped fill in for the Browns' injury-depleted receiving corps the past three games. However, the 24-year-old will now be ruled a healthy scratch for the fourth time in seven weeks, as wideouts Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, David Bell and Michael Woods are all set to play Saturday.

Gets green light Johnson (thigh) is good to go for Saturday's Christmas Eve matchup against the Saints.
Impact Johnson figures to be in line for a full workload assuming he avoids any setbacks. If that were to happen, D'Anthony Bell would presumably replace him at free safety.

Bags $60M extension Conklin and the Browns agreed Friday on a four-year, $60 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact According to Schefter, Conklin is fully guaranteed $31 million in the deal, which ties him to Cleveland through the 2026 season. After undergoing surgery last December to address a ruptured patellar tendon in his knee and missing the first two games of the season as a result, Conklin has bounced back impressively as the Browns' starting right tackle.

Activated from IR Pocic (knee) was activated from injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Pocic will return to the field after missing the minimum four games following the knee injury he suffered Week 11 versus the Bills. The Browns will get their starting center back in time to take on the Saints on Saturday.

No designation for Week 16 Garrett (illness) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game against the Saints after he returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' o...
Impact Garrett and running back Nick Chubb (foot) both missed the Browns' first two days of practice this week, and even though neither took full reps Thursday, the team saw enough to clear the two standout players heading into the weekend. In the matchup with the Saints, Garrett will be taking aim at what could be banged-up offensive line. New Orleans placed starting right guard Cesar Ruiz (foot) on injured reserve earlier this week, and starting left guard Andrus Peat (illness) is iffy for Saturday's game after not practicing Thursday.

Cleared for Week 16 Bell (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Saints after being listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronic...
Impact Bell is thus slated to return to the mix after missing one game, but as the Browns' No. 3 wideout option behind Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones, the 2022 third-rounder brings modest fantasy upside to the table in Week 16. Over the course of 13 games, the Purdue product has hauled in 23 of his 31 targets for 196 yards.

Good to go Saturday Njoku (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Saints after logging a full practice listing Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegra...
Impact Njoku's practice reps were limited Tuesday and Wednesday, but the tight end's return to a full session Thursday has him ready to go for Saturday's contest. Through 11 games to date, Njoku has recorded a 51/551/3 stat line on 67 targets, a pace that keeps the 2017 first-rounder on the fantasy lineup radar this weekend, while facing a New Orleans defense that has allowed an average of 195.1 passing yards thus far.

Cleared for Saturday's game Cooper (rest/hip) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Saints after logging a limited practice listing Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle...
Impact Cooper was listed as a 'DNP' on Tuesday and Wednesday's practice reports, as he continues to have his reps managed while he works through a hip issue. However, the Browns' top wideout will be available this weekend after having recorded a 73 percent snap share in the team's Week 15 win over the Ravens en route to catching four of his six targets for a team-high 58 yards in a contest in which QB Deshaun Watson threw for 161 yards.

Tagged as questionable Johnson (thigh) is considered questionable to play Saturday against the Saints, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Johnson picked up a thigh contusion during the Browns' win over Baltimore last Saturday. He was then limited in practice Tuesday before he took a step back with a DNP during Wednesday's sessions. Johnson has logged 81 tackles, four passes defended, an interception a pair of fumbles forced and recovered while appearing in every game for Cleveland this season. In his possible absence, expect D'Anthony Bell and/or Ronnie Harrison to see increased playing time versus New Orleans.
DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Saturday Clowney (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Saints, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Clowney still seems to be working his way through protocols after sustaining a concussion in last Saturday's win over the Ravens. The 29-year-old will have a slightly longer week to recover before the Browns' next game Sunday, Jan. 1 against Washington. Clowney missed three games earlier this season while dealing with a host of injuries, and his absence Week 16 should leave Alex Wright, Isaiah Thomas and Chase Winovich to step up into bigger roles opposite Myles Garrett, who did not practice Wednesday due to an illness.
