Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond turned in a quiet outing in a Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just two of his five targets for nine yards. The rookie wideout will now look to bounce back at home in a Week 7 contest against the Miami Dolphins. Bond has ascended to the WR2 role in Cleveland with Cedric Tillman (hamstring) out, but he has yet to turn that into production on the field, as his best performance is a three-catch, 58-yard outing in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions. The Dolphins have been unable to do much right on defense this season, although they have been decent against receivers, allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to the position. Bond is a low-end flex play who should probably remain on fantasy benches this weekend.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond turned in a quiet outing in a 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Bond caught two of his five targets for nine yards in the loss in his least productive game since Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie wideout had been trending upward before the poor outing in Week 6, but now has just 11 catches for 123 scoreless yards in six games. He will look to bounce back at home in Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers can likely find a better flex option sitting on waiver wires this week.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond has slowly been earning a larger role in his team's offense as the season has gone on. The rookie wideout set a season high in Week 5 with seven targets while playing 57.1% of the offensive snaps in a 21-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He will now turn his attention to a Week 6 road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh represents a great matchup for Bond as they are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts through four games. Bond may overtake Jerry Jeudy as the team's No. 1 receiver sooner rather than later and should be rostered in deeper fantasy leagues. He checks in as a WR4/flex option in fantasy in Week 6.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond caught just two of his seven targets for 29 yards in a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Bond finished second on the team in targets in the close loss but was unable to get on the same page as rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was making his NFL debut. That being said, Bond's involvement in the passing game has been encouraging of late as he's drawn 13 targets over his past two contests. He will head on the road to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a divisional clash in Week 6. The Steelers have struggled against opposing receivers in four games this year, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game. Bond isn't a must-play, but he will be on the fantasy radar as a boom/bust flex option in a week with both the Vikings and the Houston Texans on bye.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond had his best game as a pro in Week 4's loss to the Detroit Lions, catching three of six targets for 58 yards. Bond has a chance to continue to ascend in Week 5's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London. The Browns placed Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on injured reserve earlier in the week, which will open up a larger workload for Bond moving forward. The Vikings are allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season, but Bond is worth a look in fantasy as a boom/bust flex option if you are being hit hard by the Week 5 byes.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond has seen his targets and receiving yards increase in each of his four games this season. With Cedric Tillman (hamstring) now sidelined for multiple weeks, Bond could be leaned on more heavily as part of the Browns' passing attack. Tillman left Sunday's game against the Lions in the second quarter, and Bond ended the day as the team's leading receiver, bringing in three of his six targets for 58 yards. With five NFL teams on a Week 5 bye, now is the time in the schedule for fantasy managers to get creative, and Bond at least offers big-play upside for those in a roster bind. With the Browns traveling to London to play the Vikings in Week 5, any Cleveland players will need to be inserted into lineups early, stymying flexibility and making Bond a player to monitor rather than play for at least one more week.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond is slowly working on carving out a larger role in his team's offense with each passing week. Bond's playing time has gone up each week, going from 28% to 38% to 65% of the Browns' snaps in each of his three games. He has yet to break out for Cleveland, but there are some signs that the team is trying to get the speedy rookie more involved. Bond will head on the road to face off against a leaky Detroit Lions secondary in Week 4. The Lions are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season. This isn't the week to start Bond, but he's worth monitoring in deeper redraft leagues and should be stashed in all dynasty formats.

Despite his lack of involvement early on, ESPN's Dan Graziano notes that Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond has the potential to be a second-half breakout candidate in the 2025 season. Bond got a late start after dealing with sexual assault charges that were eventually dropped, so he's a bit further behind your typical rookie wideout at this point in their career. Any time missed in the early portion of a player's tenure could set them back, but the former Texas Longhorn has seemingly already surpassed second-year receiver Jamari Thrash in the Browns' WR room. Cleveland's dearth of skill players could leave him with a low target floor on a weekly basis, though Bond boasts the most speed of the group. Expect things to be in flux for the Browns at some point, but Bond is worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues and is an excellent stash in dynasty formats.

From Week 1 to Week 2, Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond saw his snap count increase from 21 to 28, and his target volume jumped from one to three. Bond has recorded just two catches for 11 yards across his first two NFL games, but the team may be slowly ramping him up, given that he was not signed until August. Bond was accused of sexual assault in April, which led to him going undrafted, but he no longer faces criminal charges. The 21-year-old could be establishing himself as Cleveland's WR3 behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. Still, he would likely be behind Browns tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. in the target pecking order for the Browns. Bond is a player to monitor in dynasty formats, but is unlikely to hold fantasy value in redraft leagues in 2025.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond will make his NFL debut against the Cincinnati Bengals at home in Week 1. Bond, whom the Browns signed as an undrafted free agent in mid-August, will begin the year on the second team as he is still getting up to speed. The rookie out of Texas was a top prospect at this time a year ago, with some expecting him to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Off-field issues caused him to go undrafted, but he has a chance to overtake Jamari Thrash as Cleveland's No. 3 receiver this season. Bond doesn't need to be rostered in redraft leagues at the moment, but he is a must-stash in dynasty and is worth keeping tabs on throughout the year as he hopes to make a positive first impression against Cincy this weekend.

The Cleveland Browns have signed rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond to a three-year, $3.018 million fully guaranteed contract. After garnering a good deal of buzz in the early stages of draft season, Bond went undrafted after being accused of sexual assault in April. The case was no-billed last week by a grand jury, and Bond faces no further criminal charges. Bond announced shortly after this ruling that he would be signing with the Browns, and his deal becomes official. Having missed almost all of training camp, it will be difficult for him to carve out any sort of immediate role as a rookie, but the guaranteed signing would suggest that the Browns have a plan for him. Bond has always displayed impressive game speed, and he is worth stashing in dynasty leagues.

Former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond is likely to sign soon with the Cleveland Browns, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot, but he also faces possible discipline under the NFL's personal-conduct policy. The league is reviewing Bond's sexual-assault case, which was no-billed on Thursday, according to spokesman Brian McCarthy. Bond said on Thursday that he was planning on signing with the Browns, but the team hasn't officially brought him on board yet and are doing their due diligence given his off-the-field issues. The Browns have opportunity in their receiving corps behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, but it remains to be seen if the 5-foot-11, 180-pounder can do enough to capture a depth role if he is indeed signed. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can ignore him for now, but in dynasty/keeper formats, he's worth a dice roll for sure.
