Wed Aug 21 201320:22Greg Little cited for speeding multiple times
Greg Little was cited for speeding Monday in Cuyahoga County (OH).
Little was stopped at roughly 8:30 P.M. for doing 81 MPH in a 60 MPH zone and was given a ticket. He also received a speeding ticket back in April for doing 127 MPH on the Jennings Freeway in Cleveland. Little's starting receiver counterpart, Josh Gordon, has a fascination for driving fast, as well. Gordon was ticketed for doing 98 MPH in a 60 MPH zone last week, and was also clocked going 45 MPH in a 25 MPH in April. Gordon reportedly skipped his court date, while Little is due in court on September 4. The Browns "are aware" of the situation and have called the duo's driving records "unacceptable."

Mon Jul 29 201314:01Little 'carrying himself a bit differently'
According to the Akron Beacon-Journal, Greg Little "seems to be carrying himself a bit differently than before."
Per reporter Nate Ulrich, Little has made a habit of doing extra work after practice, and is one of the last players to head to the locker room. "I just understand the profession of the business and the time that goes into preparation," Little said. "I understand what you put in is what you're going to get out." A better attitude can't hurt, but softening his stone hands is the only thing that could improve Little's fantasy fortunes. He'll be the Browns' clear-cut No. 2 receiver upon Josh Gordon's (suspension) return in Week 3. Little is a WR3/4.

Mon Jul 22 201318:58Little traveled to Oklahoma to work w/ Weeden
Greg Little traveled to Oklahoma earlier this month to work out with and catch passes from Brandon Weeden.
Little, a Miami, Florida native, was the only out-of-state Browns player to make the trip to Edmond, Oklahoma. "We got three really hard days of work," Weeden said. "I threw until I couldn't throw anymore and he ran until he couldn't run anymore, so we got a lot of work in." It's good to see the third-year receiver showing more maturity and commitment to his craft. The Browns are reportedly "counting on a better year" from the 2011 second-rounder.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the Browns are "counting on a better year" from Greg Little.
With Josh Gordon suspended the first four weeks, Little and third-year TE Jordan Cameron are the favorites to lead the Browns in early-season targets. Little has struggled with drops and inconsistency throughout his career, but is being asked to take on a larger role in HC Rob Chudzinski's vertical offense.

Sun May 26 201314:20Browns praise Greg Little's downfield ability
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the Browns are excited with how Greg Little has embraced the new offense and performed in downfield passing schemes.
Little has put together a strong offseason and the Browns believe he can "make an impact" in coach Rob Chudzinski's vertical offense. He led the team with 53 catches last season, but also had six drops. With Josh Gordon is locked-in as Brandon Weeden's top target, Little is being asked to take on a bigger role as the No. 2 receiver.

Sat Apr 13 201321:50Browns have plans for Greg Little
The Browns believe Greg Little can "make an impact" in coach Rob Chudzinski's vertical offense.
Little finally showed some improvement last season and is expected to be a "significant part" of the new regime. After struggling with drops in the first half, he topped 40 yards in six of the Browns' final eight games. With Josh Gordon locked-in as Brandon Weeden's top target, Little is likely to retain the No. 2 role. He finished 2012 with 53 receptions, 647 yards, and four touchdowns

Sun Mar 3 201323:18Browns staff impressed by Greg Little
The new Browns' coaching staff has been "very impressed" by Greg Little's improvement as the 2012 season progressed.
He reportedly "seems to be a significant part" of the new regime's plan. Little had six drops and only 11 catches in the first five games, before catching 42 balls with just three drops over the final 11. We've yet to see many glimpses of Little's supposedly explosive run-after-catch ability, but he's definitely getting better and will be just 24 in May. He's on the WR3 radar for 2013.

Mon Feb 11 201309:21Greg Little bound for the slot?
ESPN Cleveland believes Greg Little could be moved to the slot if the Browns sign a veteran receiver in free agency.
Little spent time in the slot as a rookie and in last year's camp, so it wouldn't be a blind transition. Billed as an after-the-catch threat coming out of college, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Little theoretically makes sense as a rugged slot man, but has hardly been a YAC dynamo through his first two years in the league. Regardless of whether he's on the outside or in the slot, Little should be a big part of the Browns offense in 2013 after coming on late last season.

Sun Dec 30 201216:59Little finds end zone in Week 17 loss
Greg Little caught three passes for 38 yards and the Browns' lone touchdown at Pittsburgh in Week 17.
Little broke free in the back of the end zone for a 7-yard score early in the third quarter. After a rocky drop-plagued start, the 2011 second-rounder showed improvement as a more dependable receiver down the stretch. Little topped 40 yards in six of the final eight games after doing so just three times in the first half. He finishes his second season with 53 receptions, 647 yards, and four touchdowns. Likely to retain the No. 2 role, Little will be no more than a late-round flier in fantasy leagues next summer.

Sun Dec 9 201216:24Greg Little goes for 69 yards in Week 14
Greg Little caught four balls for 69 yards in the Browns' Week 14 win over the Chiefs.
He was targeted seven times, second most on the Browns behind rookie Josh Gordon's 12. Little also rushed once for 17 yards on an end-around. Little has made a modest real-game impact this season when he hasn't been dropping passes, showing good run-after-catch ability on slants and wide receiver screens. Little is a WR5 entering a Week 15 matchup with Washington.

Sun Dec 2 201220:24Little hauls in four passes in Week 13 win
Greg Little caught four passes for 48 yards in Week 13 against the Raiders.
Little reeled in four of his five targets, and his biggest contribution was a bone-crunching block that freed Mohamed Massaquoi for a 54-yard gain in the second half. Little was added to the injury report on Saturday with a knee injury, but it wasn't an issue. Through 12 contests, Little is on pace for a 46/544/2 line. He's well off the fantasy radar.

Sat Dec 1 201216:22CLE adds Little to injury report as probable
Greg Little (knee) has been added to the Week 13 injury report as probable.
Little doesn't seem to be in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Raiders. He comes in as Rotoworld's No. 60 fantasy receiver this week and should not be sniffing lineups outside of deep leagues.

Sun Nov 25 201216:54Greg Little catches one ball in win
Greg Little caught one pass for six yards in the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers.
Little saw four targets, all on short crossing patterns. He appeared to be rotating in two-wide sets with Mo Massaquoi and the Browns bled the game out with their running game. With the bye weeks behind us, Little shouldn't be on fantasy rosters. Stash a player with more upside.

Sun Nov 18 201217:27Little goes for 53 yards in Week 11
Greg Little secured 3-of-4 targets for 53 yards as the Browns lost to the Cowboys in Week 11.
It's often an adventure when passes are directed drop-prone Little's way, but credit where it's due. He made a sensational fourth-quarter catch to gain 22 yards and also got open for a rocket ball completion from Brandon Weeden down the seam. Little is not more than a WR4 in fantasy leagues, however, and he should be on benches when the Browns host the Steelers in Week 12.

Wed Nov 7 201221:07Little playing a lot better of late for CLE
Greg Little has worked his way back into head coach Pat Shurmur's good spirits.
"Greg kind of refocused on some things, and I'm glad he's having some success," Shurmur said. "He doesn't always catch the most balls, but he's a tough sucker. He's blocking and you feel his presence out there." The second-year wideout dropped six passes in the season's first five games and drew some heavy criticism from Shurmur and the Cleveland faithful, but he hasn't dropped a single one of his 21 targets over the past four games, according to Pro Football Focus. Cleveland is in the midst of their bye week. Little doesn't offer much more than depth in fantasy.

Sun Nov 4 201217:43Greg Little gets five catches in loss
Greg Little caught five passes for 52 yards in the Browns' Week 9 loss to the Ravens.
Even though Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) was back, Little still started and played the majority of snaps. He led all Browns wideouts with seven targets, but again failed to make any big plays. Little is averaging a mere 11.1 yards per catch on 27 grabs this season. He's just fantasy depth as the Browns head into their bye.

Sun Oct 28 201217:00Greg Little catches two balls
Greg Little caught two passes for 28 yards in the Browns' Week 8 win over the Chargers.
Little was an every-down receiver opposite Josh Gordon. His questionable hands popped up again on a dropped third-down play, but no receivers had much of a chance in this one. The wind and rain thwarted both teams' passing games. With eight games in the books, Little is on pace for 44 catches, 498 yards and four touchdowns. He's a weak WR4 heading into next week's game against the Ravens.

Fri Oct 19 201211:55Greg Little returns to practice Friday
Greg Little (flu) returned to Browns practice on Friday.
It must have been a 24-hour bug. Little was working with the first-team offense on Friday, which suggests he will start opposite Josh Gordon with Mohamed Massaquoi and Travis Benjamin being eased back in from hamstring injuries.
