ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi reports “no Cleveland wideout was targeted more than Isaiah Bond this spring.”
Bond was also singled out by head coach Todd Monken earlier this spring as one of the team’s most improved players, but fantasy managers should temper expectations here. Jerry Jeudy remains on the roster, and the Browns just used the 24th and 39th overall picks in this year’s draft on receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. Bond played on the third-most snaps (467) of any Browns receiver last season and ran the second-most routes (343). The result over a 16-game span was 44 targets which he converted into 18 catches for 338 scoreless yards. Bond’s 17.1 air yards per target led all Browns receivers, but speaks to the role he played as the team’s primary field stretcher. The spring news on Bond has been encouraging, but will likely settle somewhere as the Browns’ WR4 or WR5 if the team breaks camp with all of its top receivers healthy.
