2025 Fantasy Outlook
Schwesinger was a slightly surprising pick at 33rd overall by the Browns, who had several needs on offense. It turns out a neck injury to standout linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will force him to miss 2025 and possibly end his career. Hence, the need to upgrade the position. Schwesinger plays with a high motor and is in constant chase mode. In his first season as a starter for UCLA in 2024, he led all FBS with 90 solo tackles (136 overall). Schwesinger is expected to step into Owusu-Koramoah's spot at weakside linebacker and should immediately have a significant impact in IDP leagues. Read Past Outlooks
Ready to rock
Schwesinger (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Schwesinger was able to upgrade to full participation in practice Friday, just in time to dodge an injury designation for Sunday's contest. The linebacker has been consistently playing through the ankle injury he likely sustained against the Raiders in Week 12, and this week seems to be no different. The rookie second-rounder is the green dot of the defense, so the Browns maintaining a consistent signal caller for Week 14 should have a large impact on that side of the ball.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for significant role
Schwesinger appears ticketed for a starting role in the middle of the Browns' defense after the team placed Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was placed on the reserve/PUP list Monday, making him ineligible to play in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Owusu-Koramoah suffered a neck injury in a Week 8 collision with Derrick Henry that ended his 2024 campaign, and his recovery will cost him the 2025 season as well. Cleveland prepared for the linebacker's absence by selected Schwesinger 33rd overall in the 2025 Draft, and the UCLA product should step into a role that allowed Owusu-Koramoah to record 162 tackles, including 6.5 sacks, over 24 regular-season games since 2023.
