BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It's been a red-hot start for a considerable amount of tight ends across the NFL this season, meaning that talented rookies like Cole Kmet, Adam Trautman, and Brycen Hopkins have been lucky to get a single look over the first three weeks. The one member of that field who is starting to show signs of breaking through, somewhat surprisingly, has been Browns newcomer Harrison Bryant. Despite a very favorable scouting outlook, the Browns were able to snag the 6'5'', 243-lb. TE out of Florida Atlantic with the ninth pick in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he was supposed to be behind both David Njoku and Austin Hooper on the depth chart, but Njoku's sprained MCL has opened a window of opportunity for Bryant to get in on the action early.
Harrison Bryant finished his last season at Florida Atlantic with 65 catches for 1,004 yards and seven touchdowns. As far as college tight ends go, that is an extremely well-rounded stat line, regardless of what the competition was for Florida Atlantic when compared to other players. To kick off his NFL career, he has received two targets from Baker Mayfield and reeled one ball in for each of the past three weeks, going for 14 yards last week against the Bengals and grabbing a three-yeard touchdown pass this week against Washington. That's not as far behind Austin Hooper as you may think, as Hooper also saw two targets in Week One, four in each of Cleveland's last two contests, converting for seven catches and 62 yards overall.
It is definitely a year where Cleveland could get by in a lot of weeks with the minimum-possible passing attempts, and Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry are still there to get most of the attention, but with the talent he displayed at the college level and the competence he has already shown as a pro, Harrison Bryant could find himself steadily climbing the ladder in coming weeks.
