Fri Oct 28 2011 | 13:23 | Browns rule out Massaquoi for Week 8 |
The Browns have ruled out Mohamed Massaquoi (concussion) for Week 8. |
Josh Cribbs will apparently start at flanker against the 49ers, with Brian Robiskie and perhaps Jordan Norwood also in the mix for snaps. Look for Greg Little, Evan Moore, and Ben Watson to be the Browns' most heavily targeted pass catchers. That assumes Watson will play through his own recent concussion. |

Mohamed Massaquoi (concussion) was held out of practice again on Thursday. |
Carlton Mitchell will be active this week, perhaps the surest sign that Massaquoi will miss at least one game. With Greg Little ascending to the No. 1 role, Massaquoi isn't worthy of a roster spot even in deep fantasy leagues. |

Mohamed Massaquoi (concussion) and Ben Watson (concussion) won't practice Wednesday. |
Neither player has been ruled out for Sunday, but both have sustained previous concussions within the last year. Coach Pat Shurmur has already said Carlton Mitchell will be active. Look for Greg Little, Evan Moore and Josh Cribbs to the Colt McCoy's top three targets this week. |

Tue Oct 25 2011 | 11:35 | Mohamed Massaquoi has had two concussions |
The Cleveland Plain Dealer expects the Browns to be extra cautious with Mohamed Massaquoi's latest concussion. |
Massaquoi suffered a concussion about a year ago when he took a blow to the head from Steelers LB James Harrison. He missed a week then and will likely have to miss a game now as well. Look for Josh Cribbs to start opposite Greg Little Sunday. |

Mon Oct 24 2011 | 14:19 | Massaquoi, Watson both 'day-to-day' |
Browns coach Pat Shurmur has deemed Mohamed Massaquoi and Ben Watson as "day-to-day" after both suffered concussions in Sunday's win over Seattle. |
That could indicate the Browns expect both to pass their baseline tests early this week and to be active for Week 8 against the 49ers. Either way, neither is a recommended fantasy option in Cleveland's pop-gun passing attack against the 49ers' second-ranked scoring defense. |

Massaquoi came into this one averaging just 3.4 catches for 44.8 yards in five games this season and was losing targets to Greg Little of late. Massaquoi will need to pass concussion tests before next week's game against the Niners, but fantasy owners should avoid him either way. |

Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi suffered a sprained shoulder in Week 4, but the team doesn't believe it's significant. |
It sounds like a day-to-day thing from which Massaquoi could return after the team's Week 5 bye. Massaquoi has played through all kinds of nicks and dings through the season's first month. He's on pace for 776 receiving yards. |

Peyton Hillis is active and starting, as expected. |

Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 4. |
The Browns often list Massaquoi as questionable even when he's fully expected to play. He's very likely to be available against Tennessee's No. 2 pass defense. In three games so far, Massaquoi is averaging 49.3 yards per week. |

Fantasy owners should note that Massaquoi has a total of eight catches through three games. |

Mohamed Massaquoi (ankle) was limited in Browns practice Wednesday. |
Massaquoi missed nearly all of training camp with a "chip fracture" in his ankle, so this has the potential to be concerning. The fact that he was able to do anything on the practice field means Massaquoi is probably O.K., though. |
