FANTASY FOOTBALL NFL PLAYERS

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said he expects the team to use a receiver-by-committee approach while WR Justin Blackmon serves his four-game suspension. Caldwell mentioned WRs Ace Sanders, Mike X. Brown and Mohamed Massaquoi as possible members of the committee.

Huddle Up: Cecil Shorts steps into Jacksonville's WR1 role sans Blackmon, while the rookie Sanders has the most upside of those battling for the secondary role--especially in leagues where his return skills bring added fantasy value.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with WR Mohamed Massaquoi on a two-year contract Friday, April 5. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Huddle Up: The Jags are thin at wideout and Massaquoi never quite emerged as the go-to guy the Browns had hoped, so perhaps a change of scenery will do him good. That said, he'll be battling Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts for targets and catching balls from either Chad Henne or Blaine Gabbert--neither situation conducive to a spike in productivity.

Cleveland Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) and S Tashaun Gipson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 7. Both were originally listed as questionable for the game.

Huddle Up: If for some reason you're still holding out hope for Massaquoi, it's past time to move on. He hasn't played since Week 3, and in the meantime, rookie Josh Gordon has emerged as the Browns receiver to own with 5 catches for 181 yards and 3 TDs over the past 2 games.

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Brad Childress said Tuesday, Sept. 25, that he expects to have WR Mohamed Massaquoi available for the Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens Thursday, Sept. 27.

Huddle Up: Massaquoi is nursing a sore hamstring, and it's a short week so there is question about his availability. The two or three family members who have Massaquoi on their fantasy roster should just go ahead and text Mohamed to find out if he's playing or not.

Cleveland Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) is unlikely to play in the team's Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens Thursday, Sept. 27. WR Jordan Norwood may be activated for the first time this season as a result. WR Joshua Cribbs could also see more time in the offense.

Huddle Up: Massaquoi is the the Browns' second-leading receiver, behind rookie RB Trent Richardson, with 9 catches for 145 yards in 3 games. If he's out Thursday, expect more targets for WR Greg Little and count on an uptick in touches for the talented Cribbs, who only has 2 catches for 28 yards on 3 targets so far.

Cleveland Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi (concussion) was held out of the team's preseason game Thursday, Aug. 16, as a precaution since he suffered a concussion in the Browns' first exhibition.

Huddle Up: Massaquoi is a 3-year starter for the Browns, but he never has had more than 36 receptions in a season and his receiving yards have declined in each of his three years. He's still listed as a starter for the Browns, but rookie Josh Gordon, acquired with a second-round supplemental pick, could make a push to start opposite second-year wideout Greg Little.
