FANTASY FOOTBALL NFL PLAYERS

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.

Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur raved about WR Mohamed Massaquoi earlier in minicamps, and team president Mike Holmgren also apparently likes what he sees. "I think he's ready to have a breakout year," Holmgren said. The president indicated Massaquoi has been bothered by concussions over the past two years, and he was slowed by a foot ailment last summer coming into training camp. It appears Massaquoi is healthy and ready to compete. That said, it was noted that Greg Little was was the Browns' most-targeted receiver with 121 passes during the team's OTAs and minicamps. TE Benjamin Watson was second on the list, followed by Massaquoi.

Huddle Up: Massaquoi won't go off the fantasy draft board before Little; in fact, with an ADP in the 25th round--the 121st wide receiver--in most leagues he won't be taken at all. You'll have to buy into Brandon Weeden as a legit NFL QB right out of the box to consider Massaquoi, but the positive comments from Cleveland staffers suggest he's at least worth keeping an eye on in training camp.

Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said WRs Greg Little and Mohamed Massaquoi are the team's top two wide receivers at this point.

Huddle Up: They should be, given all that's behind them is Josh Cribbs, Carlton Mitchell, Jordan Norwood, and fourth-round rookie Travis Benjamin. The Browns completely ignored the WR position in free agency expect for a couple calls about Pierre Garcon (Redskins).
