KC Concepcion Fantasy Overview

Browns WR KC Concepcion has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. Jets with a head injury. He took a big hit in the first quarter and was down for a while. Concepcion figures to land in concussion protocol, but we'll look for further updates on his status.

Rookie WR KC Concepcion led the Browns with 6 catches in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, his second straight game as the reception leader to open the season. But Concepcion manaed just 28 yards for a 4.7-yard receiving average. That put him third on the team in receiving yards, trailing WR Denzel Boston (95) and TE Harold Fannin Jr. (54). Concepcion also led RB Quinshon Judkins by just 1 receiving yard (on one more reception).

Cleveland's rookie receivers led the passing game in usage and production in Sunday's opener against Jacksonville. KC Concepcion paced the Browns in targets (5) and catches (4) while trailing only Denzel Boston in receiving yards (59 to 43). Boston tied for second on the team with 4 targets and caught just two of them, but one of those produced the team's lone TD from 46 yards out late in the fourth quarter. Boston and Concepcion also led the group in playing time, but the team's overall offensive performance bodes ill for everyone's fantasy upside.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders comfortably out-played QB Deshaun Watson in Saturday's preseason game vs. the Bills. Sanders got the start and went 9-of-11 for 74 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT across four possessions. He also took 1 sack on his 13 dropbacks. It was far from a flawless performance, but it was a lot better than QB Deshaun Watson's showing. He mustered just 36 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT on 5-of-12 passing. The INT came on a bad throw and bad decision into traffic.
