Jesse James News
Free-agent tight end Jesse James signed a deal with the Saints on Wednesday. The 28-year-old is best known for his time in Pittsburgh, where he spent four seasons before making stops in Detroit, Chicago, and Cleveland. In 104 career games, he totaled 157 catches for 1,522 yards and 12 touchdowns. However, despite a few decent showings from James over the years, he likely won't do much for fantasy managers if he remains with the Saints heading into the regular season, considering New Orleans has Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill, and Foster Moreau on the roster.
The Cleveland Browns placed tight end Jesse James (biceps) and defensive end Chase Winovich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. The two players will now miss at least the next four games for the Browns. James has barely played on offense through two weeks behind David Njoku and Harrison Bryant, and he hasn't been targeted at all, so he'll remain miles from fantasy relevance. The Browns defense is banged up entering Thursday night's divisional showdown with the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, as pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) has already been ruled out and All-Pro Myles Garrett (neck) is looking questionable to play.
The Cleveland Browns have reached an agreement with free-agent tight end Jesse James. This is a solid signing for the Browns who need depth at the position. The former fifth round pick hasn't done much in the NFL since his days with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, James has been targeted less than 30 times per season each of the last three years. He'll sit at third on the depth chart behind David Njoku and Harrison Bryant. James does have the talent to make plays, but isn't expected to play a ton in Cleveland. He can be ignored in fantasy formats to begin the season.
