Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Emerson continued his rapid development in the NFL this past season. The 2022 third-rounder had 59 tackles (fourth on the team), 14 passes defensed (T-first) and four interceptions (first). As opponents stayed away from throwing at Denzel Ward, they learned it's no picnic targeting Emerson, whose 49.4 percent reception rate was best among the secondary. He returns along with Ward and Greg Newsome to make up a formidable trio of corners. Read Past Outlooks

Ever since Marshon Lattimore switched teams, Washington's Week 15 matchup with New Orleans became a good matchup for Terry McLaurin.
Now that he's off the injury report, Mike Evans should be set up for a strong game against Las Vegas.
Justin Jefferson will almost certainly have a big game Sunday, and the Colts pass defense is weak enough for Jordan Addison to get rolling in the same game.
With Tua Tagovailoa back in the lineup Jaylen Waddle should get rolling against Arizona, and the same is true of Tyreek Hill if he plays through his foot injury.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Emerson stepped in as a rookie in 2022 and graded out as Cleveland's best cornerback. He played all 17 games, took on single coverage against elite receivers and fit in with a cornerback grouping regarded as the defense's strength. Year 2 in the NFL brings a new defensive coordinator, Jim Schwartz, who is expected to play heavy man to man, a coverage style that suits Emerson, Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could do big things in 2024
Emerson is the top 2024 breakout candidate on the Browns, according to Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus.
ANALYSIS
Emerson was quietly effective in 2023, as he led the Browns with four interceptions and ranked fourth among NFL cornerbacks with at least 650 snaps with a 53.3 passer rating allowed. A penchant for penalties kept Emerson from ascending to the elite tier of players at his position, but if he can clean those up in his third NFL season, Emerson could be poised for stardom.
