The Browns believe Greg Little can "make an impact" in coach Rob Chudzinski's vertical offense.
Little finally showed some improvement last season and is expected to be a "significant part" of the new regime. After struggling with drops in the first half, he topped 40 yards in six of the Browns' final eight games. With Josh Gordon locked-in as Brandon Weeden's top target, Little is likely to retain the No. 2 role. He finished 2012 with 53 receptions, 647 yards, and four touchdowns Apr 13 - 9:50 PM

Greg Little - WR - Browns

The new Browns coaching staff has been "very impressed" by Greg Little's improvement on tape as the 2012 season progressed.

He reportedly "seems to be a significant part" of the new regime's plan. Little had six drops and only 11 receptions in the first five games, before catching 42 balls with just three drops over the final 11. We've yet to see many glimpses of Little's supposedly explosive run-after-catch ability, but he's definitely getting better and will be just 24 in May. He's on the back-end WR3 radar for 2013.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

ESPN Cleveland believes Greg Little could be moved to the slot if the Browns sign a veteran receiver in free agency.

Little spent time in the slot as a rookie and in last year's camp, so it wouldn't be a blind transition. Billed as an after-the-catch threat coming out of college, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Little theoretically makes sense as a rugged slot man, but has hardly been a YAC dynamo through his first two years in the league. Regardless of whether he's on the outside or in the slot, Little should be a big part of the Browns offense in 2013 after coming on late last season.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught three passes for 38 yards and the Browns' lone touchdown at Pittsburgh in Week 17.

Little broke free in the back of the end zone for a 7-yard score early in the third quarter. After a rocky drop-plagued start, the 2011 second-rounder showed improvement as a more dependable receiver down the stretch. Little topped 40 yards in six of the final eight games after doing so just three times in the first half. He finishes his second season with 53 receptions, 647 yards, and four touchdowns. Likely to retain the No. 2 role, Little will be no more than a late-round flier in fantasy leagues next summer.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught six passes for 58 yards and the Browns' lone touchdown in Cleveland's Week 16 loss to the Broncos.

With Josh Gordon drawing the wrath of shutdown CB Champ Bailey, Little led Browns wide receivers with seven targets. The four-catch effort was Little's fourth straight, while he's now cleared at least 48 yards in six of his past seven games. After entering the mid-way point as one of the most disappointing players in the league, Little has stabilized his (minimal) Dynasty-league value.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught five passes for 74 yards in the Browns' Week 15 loss to the Redskins.

Little continues to emerge as Brandon Weeden's favorite target. Over the last three weeks, he's seen 21 targets and recorded 191 yards. However, Little rarely runs vertical routes which is a reason he has zero touchdowns all year. The second-year wideout won't be a fantasy option against Champ Bailey and the Broncos next week.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught four balls for 69 yards in the Browns' Week 14 win over the Chiefs.

He was targeted seven times, second most on the Browns behind rookie Josh Gordon's 12. Little also rushed once for 17 yards on an end-around. Little has made a modest real-game impact this season when he hasn't been dropping passes, showing good run-after-catch ability on slants and wide receiver screens. Little is a WR5 entering a Week 15 matchup with Washington.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught four passes for 48 yards in Week 13 against the Raiders.

Little reeled in four of his five targets, and his biggest contribution was a bone-crunching block that freed Mohamed Massaquoi for a 54-yard gain in the second half. Little was added to the injury report on Saturday with a knee injury, but it wasn't an issue. Through 12 contests, Little is on pace for a 46/544/2 line. He's well off the fantasy radar.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little (knee) has been added to the Week 13 injury report as probable.

Little doesn't seem to be in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Raiders. He comes in as Rotoworld's No. 60 fantasy receiver this week and should not be sniffing lineups outside of deep leagues.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught one pass for six yards in the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers.

Little saw four targets, all on short crossing patterns. He appeared to be rotating in two-wide sets with Mo Massaquoi and the Browns bled the game out with their running game. With the bye weeks behind us, Little shouldn't be on fantasy rosters. He's averaging 32.7 yards per game on the season and has two touchdowns. Stash a player with more upside.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little secured 3-of-4 targets for 53 yards as the Browns lost to the Cowboys in Week 11.

It's often an adventure when passes are directed drop-prone Little's way, but credit where it's due. He made a sensational fourth-quarter catch to gain 22 yards and also got open for a rocket ball completion from Brandon Weeden down the seam. Little is not more than a WR4 in fantasy leagues, however, and he should be on benches when the Browns host the Steelers in Week 12.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little has worked his way back into head coach Pat Shurmur's good graces.

"Greg kind of refocused on some things, and I’m glad he’s having some success," Shurmur said. "He doesn’t always catch the most balls, but he’s a tough sucker. He’s blocking and you feel his presence out there." The second-year wideout dropped six passes in the first five games, but hasn't dropped a single one of his 21 targets over the past four games, according to Pro Football Focus. Cleveland is on a bye. Little doesn't offer much more than depth in fantasy.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught five passes for 52 yards in the Browns' Week 9 loss to the Ravens.

Even though Mohamed Massaquoi (hamstring) was back, Little still started and played the majority of snaps. He led all Browns wideouts with seven targets, but again failed to make any big plays. Little is averaging a mere 11.1 yards per catch on 27 grabs this season. He's just fantasy depth as the Browns head into their bye.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught two passes for 28 yards in the Browns' Week 8 win over the Chargers.

Little was an every-down receiver opposite Josh Gordon. His questionable hands popped up again on a dropped third-down play, but no receivers had much of a chance in this one. The wind and rain thwarted both teams' passing games. With eight games in the books, Little is on pace for 44 catches, 498 yards and four touchdowns. He's a weak WR4 heading into next week's game against the Ravens.

Greg Little - WR - Browns

Greg Little caught six passes for 52 yards and a touchdown as the Browns fell to the Colts in Week 7.

Ben Watson had a four-yard touchdown called back by a holding penalty, and Little capitalized with a 14-yard score a play later in the first quarter. This was probably Little's best game of the season, all things considered. He secured 6-of-7 targets and didn't have a drop, although Little did nearly drop the touchdown, double catching it in the back of the end zone. The score was upheld after official review. Consider Little a low-end WR3 option when Cleveland faces San Diego in Week 8.
