News

  • Let go Sunday

    Janovich was released by the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Janovich was one of three fullbacks the Texans were carrying on their roster. The 29-year-old had signed a one-year deal with the team in March after spending the last two seasons in Cleveland. The move will trim down the fullback competition to Paul Quessenberry and Troy Hairston for Houston, while Janovich will work to find a new opportunity elsewhere.

  • Coach wants fullback

    Houston head coach Lovie Smith said Tuesday that "odds are" the team will carry a fullback on its active roster in 2022, which could be Janovich, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Carrying a fullback suggests the Texans will be committed to the run, something that new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton mentioned to Kubena in April. It's not expected that Janovich will see a lot of carries, but he could be on the field often as a blocker for Marlon Mack, Rex Burkhead and Dameon Pierce.

  • Signing with Texans

    Janovich agreed to a one-year contract with the Texans on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After the Browns elected not exercise their team option on Janovich's contract prior to the new league year, the 28-year-old will step in as Houston's primary fullback in 2022. Across his two seasons in Cleveland, the 28-year-old rushed four times for four yards and a touchdown while securing five of nine targets for 22 yards.

  • Set to become free agent

    The Browns didn't exercise Janovich's option Monday, so he'll become a free agent when the new league year begins March 16, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Janovich has been a starter his entire career and was a Pro Bowl alternate last season, so he'll likely garner plenty of interest from around the league. The 2016 sixth-round pick has scored five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) during his six-year career.

  • Catches first pass in win

    Janovich caught his lone target for three yards and had two kick returns for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: Janovich was targeted for the second time this season and made his first catch. He's typically not heavily involved in the offense beyond blocking for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (ankle). As for the kick returns, Janovich was one of the up men on a couple of short kickoffs. JoJo Natson remains Cleveland's primary kick returner.

  • Active for Week 9

    Janovich (hamstring) was activated off of injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

    Analysis: Janovich will return to action as the starting fullback for the Browns after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury. Although he has played sparingly this season, he has recorded a two-point conversion and one touchdown on the year.

  • Designated to return from IR

    Janovich (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Janovich returned to practice Wednesday, which starts the 21-day period for him to be added to the active roster. If he isn't, then he will revert back to injured reserve for the remainder of the season. The Browns waived backup fullback Johnny Stanton on Tuesday, which would suggest they feel confident that Janovich will be available for Week 9.

  • Lands on IR

    The Browns placed Janovich (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Janovich was one of three players that the Browns placed on injured reserve Tuesday. The 28-year-old tight end appeared in all five games for Cleveland this year and recorded one rushing touchdown and caught a two-point conversion. He will be sidelined for at least three weeks, but he may miss even more time. The Browns signed Johnny Stanton from their practice squad to their active roster to replace Janovich.

  • Scores two-point conversion

    Janovich did not have a carry on five offensive snaps but was on the receiving end of a successful two-point conversion in Sunday's 14-7 win over Minnesota.

    Analysis: The Vikings were whistled for delay of game on what was to be a traditional extra-point kick, which changed the calculus for head coach Kevin Stefanski, who opted to go for two points from the one-yard line. With "13" personnel on the field, Janovich was in motion and slipped out into the flat for an easy catch, giving Cleveland an 8-7 lead. The fullback now has one touchdown and a two-point conversion in 2021.

  • Scores red-zone touchdown

    Janovich had two carries for zero yards and scored a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Janovich finished off a drive that started on a short field after Cleveland recovered a muffed punt at the Houston 35-yard line. After the Texans stopped Nick Chubb on second-and-goal at the 2, Janovich scored on a second and third effort after being hit. It was the first touchdown for the fullback since joining the Browns in 2020.

  • Starts, plays 11 snaps

    Janovich started and was targeted once in Sunday's 33-29 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Janovich was targeted on the first series of the game, and that was that for his fantasy relevance. He played a total of 11 snaps on offense. The Browns led for most of the game, which typically means more running and a need for a blocker like Janovich, but that didn't happen Sunday. Cleveland attempted 28 passes to 26 rushes.

  • Targeted once in loss

    Janovich was targeted once and played nine snaps in Monday's 47-42 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: The target was just his second since Week 4, and Janovich hasn't carried the ball since Week 5, giving him little fantasy value even if the Browns find him useful as a lead blocker.

  • Back from COVID-19 list

    Janovich (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old landed on the COVID-19 list in mid-November but returns to the active roster after missing the past couple weeks. Janovich should reclaim his duties on special teams and as a lead blocker in the run game.

  • Won't return this week

    Janovich (undisclosed) won't return from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old was placed on the COVID-19 list last week and will end up being sidelined for at least two games. The Browns are without a fullback on the active roster with Janovich sidelined.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    The Browns placed Janovich on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Janovich has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with an infected person. If it's the latter, he'll have an opportunity to clear the league's COVID-19 protocol and play in Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

  • Six snaps in loss

    Janovich was targeted once and played six offensive snaps in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: This seemed like a day that would suit a player like Janovich. Shifting winds gusted to 35 MPH and made the forward pass difficult, and it was expected the Browns would need to rely on their running game, but that didn't lead to heavy usage for the fullback. Janovich played fewer than 10 snaps for the third consecutive week. Cleveland is on bye Week 9 and returns to action with a home game in Week 10 against the Texans.

  • Little need in blowout loss

    Janovich played just seven snaps in Sunday's 38-7 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: There was little need for a blocking back in Week 6, as the Browns were behind 24-0 by the second quarter. Exactly like Week 1's blowout loss to the Ravens, in which Janovich played nine snaps, the fullback was on the field just 12 percent of the time.

  • Minor role in win

    Janovich had two carries for four yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Cleveland's ground game was bottled up by the Colts, which served to limit Janovich's role in the Browns' fourth consecutive win. His 14 snaps were his second lowest of the year, behind only the opening-week blowout loss to the Ravens.

  • One catch in win

    Janovich caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Janovich notched his second reception of the season, but catching passes is not his primary role. Paving the way for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt is why the Browns employ Janovich. The Browns have averaged 5.1 yards per carry this year and are tied for fourth in the league with 170.3 rushing yards per game.

  • More snaps Week 2

    Janovich caught his lone target for zero yards and played 22 snaps (38 percent) in Thursday's 35-30 win over the Bengals in Week 2.

    Analysis: Janovich had a greater role Week 2 than in Week 1 when he was limited to nine snaps in a blowout loss. The fullback's usage will be a barometer for Cleveland's offense this season. If he's getting significant playing time, the Browns' running game is operating at peak efficiency. The unit averaged 6.1 yards per carry and gained 215 yards Thursday. However, in games like Week 1's loss to the Ravens, Janovich will be limited.

  • Low usage in Week 1 loss

    Janovich played just nine snaps (12 percent) in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.

    Analysis: As can be inferred from the final score, the Browns were not able to run their offense as designed, which would have featured a heavy dose of running with Janovich on the field as a lead blocker. Instead, Cleveland was down multiple scores by the second quarter and played catch-up all day.

  • Smooth sailing in recovery

    Janovich (elbow) said Tuesday that he's "feeling good" in his rehab process, Mitch Sherman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Janovich looks on track to kick off the 2020 campaign without issue after having suffered a season-ending dislocated elbow last November. In addition to blocking skills, the fullback showcased limited receiving utility over four years in Denver. He stands to mostly contribute as a facilitator of the run game in Cleveland, though the coaching staff could also see fit to put his aerial utility to occasional use.

  • Dealt to Cleveland

    The Broncos traded Janovich (elbow) to the Browns for a 2021 seventh-round pick Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Over four seasons with Denver, Janovich officially started 19 of his 50 appearances, reeling in 22 of 28 targets for 233 yards and one TD while adding three more scores but only 51 rushing yards on 13 carries. In Cleveland, he'll get to pave the way for standout Nick Chubb and likely Kareem Hunt, who received a second-round tender from the organization Monday.

  • Progressing well in recovery

    Janovich (elbow) is expected to participate in Denver's offseason program in mid-March, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Janovich is rehabbing from a season-ending dislocated elbow sustained mid-November. He's already resumed training with weights and is expected to be ready to kick off the Broncos' offseason program, which would put him on clear track to begin the 2020 regular season. He's set to operate as the Broncos' top fullback and a core special-teams contributor.

  • Heads to IR

    Janovich was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: It was only a matter of time before Janovich landed on IR, as the 26-year-old suffered a season-ending dislocated elbow and may require surgery. Andrew Beck will serve as the top fullback going forward, and the Broncos signed Orson Charles to chip in as well.

    Published: Tue, Nov 19 at 11:36am by Rotowire.com

  • May need surgery

    Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Janovich may require surgery on his dislocated right elbow, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old suffered the injury Sunday against the Vikings and will miss the rest of the season regardless of whether he undergoes surgery. It's a matter of time before Janovich is placed on injured reserve. Converted tight end Andrew Beck will now work as the team's lone fullback.

  • Done for season

    Janovich is out for the remainder of the season after suffering a dislocated right elbow during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Vikings, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Janovich had his arm rolled up on by a defender after making a catch in the second quarter, and he was nearly immediately ruled out for the rest of the contest. After further testing, the injury is indeed serious, and Janovich will be shut down for the remaining six games. The 26-year-old will likely be placed on IR. Andrew Beck will serve as the lone fullback going forward.

  • Suffers ugly injury

    Janovich won't return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to an elbow injury, Erich Schubert of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Janovich was injured on a three-yard catch in the second quarter. Based on the nature of his injury, it wouldn't be surprising if Janovich misses significant time. Andrew Beck will fill in at fullback for the remainder of the contest.
