Chase Winovich Fantasy

Cleveland Browns defensive end Chase Winovich (hamstring) has been activated from the injured reserve. The 27-year-old will be able to play for the first time since Week 2. He was traded to the Browns in March, but hasn't been able to make much of an impact. Before joining the Browns, Winovich put together some decent performances as a rotational player with the New England Patriots. The return of WInovich should give the Browns defense a slight boost.

Cleveland Browns linebacker Chase Winovich, who was acquired from the New England Patriots this offseason, gained 10 to 15 pounds this offseason as he transitions to defensive end on a four-man defensive front. "It's the heaviest I've weighed in probably three years, the strongest I've probably ever been," Winovich said, "so I have a lot to be optimistic about, and I'm really looking forward to it." The 27-year-old pass-rusher will be looking to bounce back in 2022 after a decreased role last season with the Pats, when he had only 11 tackles (six solo) in 13 games (zero starts) for New England. In his three NFL seasons with the Patriots, Winovich has 85 tackles (56 solo), 10 tackles for loss, 23 QB hits, 11 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble.

The Cleveland Browns acquired outside linebacker Chase Winovich from the New England Patriots on Tuesday in exchange for linebacker Mack Wilson, according to sources. Both players mostly served as backups in 2021. Winovich failed to record a sack and played just 13.5% of the Patriots defensive snaps in 13 total games. The 26-year-old had 11 sacks in his first two NFL seasons in 2019 and 2020, though, so the Browns will be hoping to get that version of Winovich. Wilson had 42 tackles (26 solo) in 14 games (six starts) for Cleveland last year. He has only one sack in three NFL seasons, but he's tacked on 163 tackles (107 solo), five tackles for loss, one interception, nine passes defensed and one forced fumble in 43 games (28 starts).
