Isaiah Bond Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond has taken over as the team's WR2, even though the Week 16 box score against the Buffalo Bills did not show it, and is likely to continue his ascension in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns' passing attack struggled to get anything going against the Buffalo Bills last week. However, the team tried to get Bond involved via a trick play for 21 yards on the Browns' opening drive. The young rookie appears to be part of the Browns' offensive game plan, averaging 45% snaps and 58% route participation since Week 12, edging out fellow wide receiver Cedric Tillman for playtime. Bond offers big-play potential and, with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders as the starter, he is carving out his niche as a vertical threat. Sanders' preferred target, rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin), popped up on the injury report Friday, and he is pushing to play on Sunday. However, if Fannin Jr. does miss time, Bond would be in line to benefit from additional looks against a tough Steelers' pass defense. Bond is an extremely risky start with big-play potential and is best suited for DFS dart throws or desperate deep-league managers looking for volatility.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond notched his most receiving yards of the season in the Week 15 loss to the Chicago Bears, catching two of his four targets for 89 yards. Bond posted his highest route share (73.8%) since Week 6 and continues to be a dangerous deep threat for rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The undrafted rookie out of Alabama's two deep shots accounted for just over half of Sanders' 177 passing yards for the game. Bond has established himself as a big-play threat in Cleveland's offense and has a growing connection with Sanders, giving him upside as a deep-league boom/bust flex option for the Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond hasn't posted big receiving numbers this season, but he continues to run a decent number of routes. His 53.4% route share is third among Cleveland's wide receivers this season, and he's recorded 14 receptions for 199 yards on 35 targets in 11 games. The rookie wideout is still looking for his first touchdown, and came close to scoring one after hauling in a deep ball from fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders for a 52-yard gain down inside the five in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Bond has a favorable matchup on Sunday against a Titans defense that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers, however he is still just a very-deep league dart throw for Week 14 in the poor Browns passing attack.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond turned in a surprisingly productive performance in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching both of his targets for 58 yards. Bond did most of his damage on a 52-yard reception from Shedeur Sanders in the contest, his first catch since October 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie will now look to keep it going at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 49ers have struggled against the pass this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. That being said, the Cleveland passing offense has not shown enough consistency to be trusted in fantasy. Bond sets up as a boom/bust low-end flex option if you are desperate this weekend.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond caught both of his targets for 58 yards in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Bond did most of his damage on a 52-yard reception in the first half, a play that helped set up Quinshon Judkins for a two-yard touchdown run. The rookie receiver had been quiet in recent weeks, as this was his first game with a catch since Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bond overall has 13 catches for 181 scoreless yards across 10 games this season. He remains an interesting bench stash in deep dynasty leagues, but will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) will miss Sunday's game against the Jets with a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. Following a Week 9 bye, Bond has yet to return to practice and was ruled out of action on Friday. Since accumulating a season-high 58 yards on three catches in Week 4, Bond has made only four catches over his past four games and has been blanked from the stat sheet in the last two. Anyone still holding onto him in redraft leagues can drop him without reservation, and a similar move needs to be at least considered in dynasty leagues, depending on available options on waivers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) was unable to practice again on Thursday, leaving his availability for the team's matchup with the New York Jets in doubt. Bond has appeared in eight games this season, hauling in 11 of 30 targets for 123 yards. The rookie speedster ranks 200th, out of 201 qualified receivers, with a 36.7% catch rate. With Bond's struggles this season, he should be dropped in all redraft leagues, while dynasty owners have can be a little more patient. It is evident this season that injuries, poor quarterback play, and questionable hands leave Bond unusable for starting lineups.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) is dealing with a foot injury that is expected to keep him from practicing on Wednesday, per ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Bond's availability for his team's Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets appears to be in jeopardy. The 21-year-old has recorded 11 catches for 123 yards on 30 targets across eight games so far this season. However, he was held without a catch on four targets in his final two games before the Browns' Week 9 bye. If Bond is sidelined in Week 10, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. could see a slight bump in target share. Additionally, wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) could make his return in Week 10 from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. Even if Bond can play, he should likely remain off fantasy radars in Week 10 against New York.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (undisclosed) suffered an undisclosed injury in the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, which has kept him from practicing, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The head coach said that he will update the specifics of Bond's injury at a later time. We'll have a clearer picture of Bond's Week 10 status against the New York Jets once the Browns release their first injury report of the week on Wednesday. The 21-year-old wideout from Texas went undrafted due to off-the-field issues, but he was eventually scooped up by Cleveland. Bond so far has had a limited role on offense through his first eight NFL games, catching 11 of 30 targets for 123 yards and no touchdowns. His role could grow in the second half of the season, but efficiency is likely to be a problem with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel running the offense. As of now, Bond is questionable to be able to play in Week 10.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond continued his recent lull in a 32-13 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Bond was unable to catch any of his four targets in the blowout loss, giving him two straight games without a catch as the Browns head into their Week 9 bye. The rookie receiver showed flashes early in the season, but a punchless Cleveland passing attack has crushed any hope of fantasy value for Bond this season. He remains a solid stash in deep dynasty leagues heading forward but Bond is unlikely to make much of an impact over the second half of the season for the Browns this year. His next game comes in Week 10 on the road against the New York Jets.
