Browns WR Corey Coleman Out with Broken Hand

The Cleveland Brown will be without second-year wider receiver Corey Coleman for at least the next six weeks after he suffered a broken hand in the team's loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. 

Coleman, who suffered a similar injury as a rookie last season, will require surgery. According to various reports, he could miss eight week of action. 

Needless to say, if you have Coleman on your fantasy leagues, he's an immediate drop. He was a low-end bench option to start with, and now provides no real upside moving forward. 

The former first-round pick from Baylor has caught just 6-of-13 targets for 62 yards in two games this season. 

With him sidelined, expect Rishard Higgins to see more action for Cleveland. The second-year wideout caught seven passes for 95 yards on 11 targets in his season debut against Baltimore in Week 2. 

Running back Duke Johnson also becomes a decent option in PPR-heavy leagues. He's been lining up more at receiver this season, so there's definitely something there.
