Ricardo Louis Fantasy Stats

The Miami Dolphins re-signed wide receiver Ricardo Louis to a one-year contract extension for 2020, according to a source. Louis is still only 25 years old (26 in March), but he missed 2018 with a neck injury and the 2019 season with a knee issue. In two seasons with the Browns, Louis had 45 catches on 97 targets for 562 yards and no touchdowns. The Dolphins depth at receiver is the best it has been in a while now after the emergence of Devante Parker and Preston Williams, though, so Louis won't be a lock to make the team's final roster out of training camp. And obviously he'll need to be better on the health front.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brice Butler (leg) left practice with what appeared to be a leg injury on Tuesday. The Dolphins also previously lost receiver Ricardo Louis (knee) for the season due to a knee injury this offseason. Butler has been competing with undrafted rookies Preston Williams and Trenton Irwin, Isaiah Ford and Reece Horn for the final two wide receiver spots on the roster. Butler can be left alone in all fantasy leagues for now. It's unclear if his injury is serious enough to keep him out into training camp.

The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent wide receiver Ricardo Louis to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, according to a source. The 25-year-old will probably make his biggest impact on special teams, but Miami's receiver depth chart is wide open, so don't count Louis out. He has 45 catches for 562 yards and no touchdowns in 32 games for the Browns in his first two NFL campaigns. Louis can be left to the waiver wire in fantasy drafts this fall.

According to Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson, wide receiver Ricardo Louis (neck) will not play in 2018. It is unclear when Louis injured his neck but it is an issue which will prevent him from taking the field for the Browns. Cleveland overhauled the receiving corps this offseason, trading for Jarvis Landry and signed Jeff Janis as a free agent, so Louis would have slotted in as the team's No. 4 option, at best. Louis has 45 career receptions for 562 yards in two seasons with the Browns.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Ricardo Louis has put together the best two-week stretch of his NFL career. The second-year receiver has reeled in 10 of 17 targets for 135 scoreless yards over that span. With Corey Coleman injured and Kenny Britt playing poorly, Louis has a shot to run away with the team's NO. 1 wideout role. He will draw a tough matchup against a Houston Texans pass defense that ranks 11th in the league in DVOA. Louis can be used as a low-end flex option in PPR leagues in this week.

Cleveland Browns second-year wide receiver Ricardo Louis led the team in receiving on Sunday against the New York Jets. Louis hauled in 5-of-8 targets for 71 yards, setting a new career high in yardage. The second-year wideout has emerged as the preferred option in the team's passing game over the past two weeks, hauling in 10 passes for 135 yards. While teammate Rashard Higgins was a popular waiver claim a few weeks ago, it appears Louis is the Cleveland receiver to own in fantasy going forward. He will look to keep it going in Week 6 against the Houston Texans.

Cleveland Browns second-year wide receiver Ricardo Louis is expected to see an increased role with No. 1 wide receiver Corey Coleman heading to injured reserve after breaking his hand. Kenny Britt and Louis are expected to operate as Cleveland's outside receivers while Week 2 breakout star Rashard Higgins plays in the slot. Louis was widely regarded as one of the team's most improved players in the offseason but so far has caught just four passes this season. Louis can be added as an end of the roster stash in deep leagues in hopes he's able to capitalize on his increased opportunity with the team.

The Cleveland Browns made several moves to bolster their receiver corps over the weekend, trading for Sammie Coates and signing free agent Kasen Williams after the Seattle Seahawks released him. Despite all the moves, head coach Hue Jackson told reporters on Monday that second-year wideout Ricardo Louis is still the team's third wide receiver. Louis caught 18 passes for 205 yards in his rookie season. He has plenty of opportunity to improve ahead of him in 2017 if he's able to hold onto the No. 3 job in Cleveland.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Ricardo Louis has shown real improvement this offseason, according to head coach Hue Jackson. Louis had just 18 catches in his rookie season in 2016, but he feels more comfortable in all aspects of his game heading into 2017. Receivers coach Al Saunders said Louis is the most diligent receiver on the team in terms of preparation. Playing behind Corey Coleman and Kenny Britt, Louis isn't likely to see enough playing time to warrant a look in most fantasy leagues.
