Browns' Connor Hamlett: Scores first NFL touchdown against Patriots
Hamlett caught one pass (one target) for a 17-yard touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
Hamlett was activated off the practice squad earlier this week due to injuries to tight ends Randall Telfer (ankle) and Seth DeValve (knee) and was able to make his mark with his first NFL touchdown reception. Gary Barnidge is still the man in Cleveland, but Hamlett could ultimately turn into a red-zone threat.

Browns' Connor Hamlett: Poised for bigger role
Coach Hue Jackson said that Hamlett is primed to carve out a role in his first game on the active roster, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Hamlett was one of team's final cuts prior to trimming the roster to 53-men. While it's difficult to interpret whether Hamlett's role will come on offense or special teams, he could be worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.

Browns' Connor Hamlett: Promoted to active roster
Hamlett has been promoted to the Browns' active roster, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
With Randall Telfer (ankle) and Seth DeValve (knee) both injured, the Browns have a clear need for depth at tight end behind starter Gary Barnidge. The team thus promoted Hamlett from the practice squad, perhaps setting him up to appear in an NFL game for the first time. He's still a long ways away from warranting fantasy consideration.

Browns' Connor Hamlett: Demoted to fourth string
Hamlett is listed as the team's fourth-string tight end, according to the team's official website.
As recently as last week, Hamlett was listed as the backup to Gary Barnidge, but that may have been an oversight, as Randall Telfer and Seth DeValve are now ahead of him on the depth chart. The 24-year-old will most likely be looking for a new team when the Browns cut their roster to 53.

Browns' Connor Hamlett: Catches first preseason pass
Hamlett caught one pass for nine yards on one target against the Buccaneers on Friday.
Hamlett was recently bumped up to backup tight end behind Gary Barnidge despite failing to register a catch in his first two preseason games. That changed Friday, as Josh McCown found him for a nine-yard gain on his only catch of the night. Unless Barnidge gets injured, Hamlett's fantasy value will remain quite low.

Browns' Connor Hamlett: Promoted to backup TE
Hamlett has moved past Randall Telfer and is listed as the team's backup tight end, Pat McManamon of ESPN.com reports.
Hamlett must be impressing his coaches in practice because the 24-year-old has yet to catch a pass in the preseason. Gary Barnidge still figures to receive the majority of playing time for Hue Jackson's offense, but Hamlett's promotion is notable, especially if Barnidge goes down with an injury.
