Winslow had another knee surgery this offseason and could be slowed some at the start of the season. He had microfracture surgery, which is pretty serious. But he played on a less than 100 percent knee much of last season and produced, notching career highs across the board. He led the Browns with 89 receptions and finished with just under 900-receiving yards. When healthy, Winslow is a big-time talent. He has good speed and can run routes like a receiver. And his size makes him tough to bring down in the open field. His numbers could improve as the Browns passing attack gets better.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
All his knee issues are a concern, but his numbers don't lie. Track his progress in training camp before making him your No. 1 tight end. But if healthy, expect Winslow to near that 1,000-yard mark and score a few more touchdowns this season (6).

They have to guard me kind of like a wide receiver so, you know, yeah, gotta to get that new money. (laughs)." Winslow said he would let his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, handle it.
