2023 Fantasy Outlook
Grant, who turns 31 during the regular season, is coming back from a season lost due to a ruptured Achilles -- the second such injury he's dealt with during his NFL career. His bread-and-butter has been as a returner, but Grant was destined for a greater offensive role during camp in 2022 before the injury. Cut to this year and the Browns have added two new veteran pieces at wideout -- Elijah Moore and Marquise Goodwin -- and drafted Cedric Tillman (third round). If he's going to make the team, it will be as a returner. The Browns brought him along slowly early in camp, but Grant fielded kickoffs and noticed improved movement relative to his time in spring minicamp. Read Past Outlooks

The Browns placed Grant (knee) on injured reserve by the Browns on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Grant suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. He was set to serve as the Browns' top kick returner in 2023, but now that he's out for the season, Cleveland will have to look elsewhere to fill those duties.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Back to kick return duty
Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters Friday that it's "very realistic" for Grant to return kicks for the 2023 season, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Grant missed the 2022 season after rupturing his Achilles tendon during training camp. He made the All-Pro second team in 2020 and 2021 as a punt returner and signed a three-year contract with the Browns in March 2022 to fill that role. Berry pointed to Grant's approach to his rehab since his injury as a reason to be "optimistic that he'll be back to his normal self."

Grant is part of a revamped wide receiver group in Cleveland, but his main value comes as a return man. The 29-year-old returned a punt or kickoff for a touchdown in five of his six NFL seasons. Grading out as the third best punt returner in 2021 (per Pro Football Focus), Grant is expected to bolster the return game for the Browns, who ranked 22nd in return average on kickoffs and 28th on punts last year. As a receiver though, Grant is looking no better than the team's No. 5 wideout option entering the summer training season.
