NFL power rankings: Which teams will have the best passing attack this season?

21. Cleveland Browns

A year ago, the Browns were actually far more efficient, offensively, under the direction of Jacoby Brissett. Once Deshaun Watson came back from his suspension, he was understandably rusty. Every aspect of the offense looked shaky at best.

Now having a full offseason to work and get further past his legal situation, Watson could come back better than last year, but will he? In 2022, the Browns finished 22nd, so here we are once more with a team that moves up just one notch.

If the Browns were smart with Watson, they would continue to lean on the run led by Nick Chubb, who is up there as one of the best pure runners in the entire league. Outside of the run game, the Browns definitely have weapons. Amari Cooper and the newly-acquired Elijah Moore will lead the receiver group, but Donovan Peoples-Jones is still a deep threat who can come up with big catches when needed most.

Let’s not forget about the ultra-athletically talented David Njoku, either. When he’s used, Njoku looks like one of the best tight ends in the game. For Watson’s sake, getting Njoku more touches will be imperative.
