Cleveland Browns
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
$Signed a four-year, $5.47 million contract with the Browns in May of 2022.
Full go Wednesday

Emerson (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Emerson sustained a rib injury in the Browns' Week 6 loss to the Eagles, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's already moved past the issue. Expect the third-year pro out of Mississippi State to continue starting alongside Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greg Newsome as part of the Browns' top cornerback trio ahead of Cleveland's Week 7 matchup against the Bengals.

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
CBCleveland Browns
May 19, 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.
