Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah

Cleveland Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah said he had the option to undergo surgery on his midfoot sprain and declined it; he says he is feeling good.

Fantasy Impact

Heading into his third season, Owusu-Koramoah has already dealt with some injury history, ending both seasons on the injured reserve. Owusu-Koramoah played on 75% of the team’s snaps when healthy, and he had 70 tackles — seven for a loss — four pass deflections and two forced fumbles in 11 games. If healthy, Owusu-Koramoah could continue to develop as a defensive weapon and play an important part on Cleveland’s defense.

Fantasy Impact

Owusu-Koramoah amassed 39 tackles and two forced fumbles through the first seven games of the season, but he missed Week 8 due to injury and was on bye in Week 9. Despite his week of rest, the second-year linebacker will have to wait at least one more week before returning to game action.

Fantasy Impact

Owusu-Koramoah has been excellent for the Browns when healthy and leaves a sizable hole in a defense that will also be without Jacob Phillips, who was lost for the year. Deion Jones and Sione Takitaki are line to see near every snap roles with JOK sidelined, giving both high-end LB2 value.
