Browns LB Takitaki out for season with torn knee ligament

Cleveland’s linebacking corps took another major hit
DECEMBER 5, 2022 Associated Press
Anthony Schwartz - Dealing with concussion Schwartz was placed in concussion protocol Monday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Schwartz sustained a concussion in Sunday's win over the Texans, placing his status for Week 14 in doubt. He'll have to clear protocol and return to practice to dispel any concerns over his availability for the Browns' matchup with the Bengals. If Schwartz is not able to go, Michael Woods could be active for the first time since Week 11.

Sione Takitaki - Done for season with torn ACL Takitaki suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Sunday's win over the Texans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Takitaki's 2022 campaign will come to an end prematurely after he sustained the major knee injury in Week 13, finishing the year with 71 tackles, including a sack, while also forcing a fumble over 12 games. Tony Fields will likely step into a larger role moving forward in Takitaki's absence.

Amari Rodgers - Suits up Week 13 Rodgers made his Texans debut in Sunday's 27-14 loss to Cleveland in Week 13.
Impact Rodgers played 17 snaps but was not given a target. Brandin Cooks' calf injury made him inactive and opened an opportunity for Rodgers, who was claimed three weeks ago after being released by Green Bay. Phillip Dorsett got most the snaps made available by Cooks' injury.

Ka'imi Fairbairn - Perfect again Fairbairn made two of two field-goal attempts and was not given a chance to kick an extra point in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns in Week 13.
Impact Fairbairn connected from 44 and 35 yards and has converted 11 consecutive FGAs. His last miss came in the first quarter of Week 7's loss to the Raiders. That's the good news about Fairbairn; the bad news is that he kicks for a team whose offense has cratered the last several weeks. Fairbairn attempted nine field goals and Houston averaged 13.6 points over the last six games. Additionally, they often fall behind by multiple scores and eschew field-goal attempts. For the season, the Texans rank 31st in scoring (15.7 PPG) and last in total yards (279.3 YPG).

Phillip Dorsett - Steps in for injured Cooks Dorsett caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns in Week 13.
Impact Dorsett was given a boost in playing time with Brandin Cooks (calf) sidelined, but Nico Collins (10 targets) was the target beneficiary. Houston's passing offense is near the bottom of the league, which makes it hard for fantasy managers to rely on its wideouts.
