CLEVELAND KEEPS DEALING, ADDS PRO BOWLER LANDRY Wednesday, March 14, 2018
The Cleveland Browns acquired wideout Jarvis Landry from the Miami Dolphins for a 4th-round draft pick in 2018 and a 7th-round draft pick in 2019.
What does it give the Cleveland Browns?
Landry is a Pro Bowl wideout and a star, but this is obviously a risky move by the Browns. Cleveland management is clearly hoping Landry can create instant offense and chemistry with new quarterback Tyrod Taylor, but that's anything but a sure thing. Meanwhile, Landry comes with a huge contract and some concerns about off-field trouble. It's admirable the Browns are trying to make significant changes, but this comes with a lot of risk.
What does it give the Miami Dolphins?
The return here isn't great for the Dolphins (they receive this 2018 Draft's No. 123 overall pick)--especially considering they're losing one of the NFL's top wideouts--but Miami above all saves a huge amount of money here. Obviously the hope is newcomer Danny Amendola can pick up some of the slack while DeVante Parker continues to emege as a star receiver.
Fantasy Impact
Parker and Kenny Still both should see bumps up in fantasy value as a result of Landry's departure, and Amendola should stay his usual underrated, productive self. As for Landry, it's hard to see him improving much fantasy-wise with such a streaky QB throwing to him, and the fantasy values of Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman should both be downgraded. That said, Taylor should get a nice uptick thanks to having Landry as his go-to guy.
