Seven under Seven: DraftKings NFL DFS Pivot Plays for Week 16

Let's hope Week 16 is a little less chaotic than Week 15 as a bunch of games were rescheduled and we had some wildly unpredictable results. But this column is where I try to predict the unpredictable and find some spots that the rest of the industry might be overlooking. Last week we did have […]

Jarvis Landry Rejoins The Team

The Cleveland Browns activated wide receiver Jarvis Landry from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, as expected. Landry missed the Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but he'll be eligible to return on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers as the Browns top receiving threat. The 29-year-old will also have quarterback Baker Mayfield back […]

Browns Activate Baker Mayfield, Case Keenum

The Cleveland Browns activated quarterback Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, as expected. Mayfield and Keenum were both unavailable for the Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, which was moved to Monday. Browns fans can rest easy knowing that third-stringer Nick Mullens won't have to run the offense […]

Week 16 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Woof. What a week in the NFL. Between the COVID madness, a slew of injuries, and some stud players totally flopping, there was utter chaos in the fantasy landscape this weekend. That carried over to the defensive side of the ball too, where the number one defense in fantasy was the Saints, who played a […]

Browns Defense Tough To Trust Vs. Packers

The Cleveland Browns defense draws a difficult road matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Cleveland's defense has been playing better of late, but a showdown against the Packers as 7.5-point road underdogs is not an ideal spot for this unit. The Packers have not been an offense to target with fantasy defenses […]

Chase McLaughlin - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin has really struggled over the second half of the season, making just two of six field goals over his last four games. The Browns would not rule out changing kickers after McLaughlin missed a key field goal in a Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but they ultimately […]

David Njoku - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) got in two limited practices this week and is listed without an injury designation for his team's Christmas Day showdown against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Njoku turned in a pedestrian outing in a Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders but he did come […]

Austin Hooper - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper was activated from the league's reserve/COVID-19 list this week and will suit up against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Hooper was forced to be a spectator in Week 15's loss after he landed on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list but has since cleared the league's protocol and will […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones was his team's leading receiver in a Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Peoples-Jones will look to replicate his success in a Christmas Day matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. The Packers represent a neutral matchup for wide receivers as they are allowing the […]

Jarvis Landry - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is expected to suit up against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expects that Landry will be activated on Friday after he was placed on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list on December 14. Friday marks the end of his mandatory 10-day quarantine period, meaning he should […]

Nick Chubb - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb will suit up against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16's Christmas Day game. Chubb performed well in a Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, rushing for 91 yards and a touchdown on Tuesday night. He will go up against a Packers run defense that is tough […]

JC Tretter Goes On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that center JC Tretter was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Tretter isn't officially ruled out, but this late in the week, it's unlikely that he'll clear the COVID protocols in time to play on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. The 30-year-old's absence […]

Myles Garrett 50-50 To Play Saturday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he considers defensive end Myles Garrett (groin) to be 50-50 to play in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday on Christmas Day. Garrett wants to play badly, but the team will evaluate him over the next couple of days. The All-Pro pass-rusher didn't practice on […]

Jarvis Landry To Come Off COVID-19 List Friday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that wide receiver Jarvis Landry, offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. and defensive tackle Malik McDowell will come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday when their 10-day quarantine period expires. Quarterback Baker Mayfield will as well, so both Mayfield and Landry are expected to start in Week 16 against […]

Browns Plan To Start Baker Mayfield On Saturday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said the plan is for quarterback Baker Mayfield to start on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers. Mayfield remains on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, but because of the 10-day rule, he'll be eligible to come off the list on Friday, regardless of testing. The Browns will be getting wide receiver […]

Week 16 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

David Njoku Listed As Limited Wednesday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Wednesday. The Browns didn't practice on Wednesday, but Njoku was estimated as a limited participant. The 25-year-old should be fine to play on Christmas Day this Saturday against the Green Bay Packers, but Austin Hooper's return from the COVID-19 […]

Kareem Hunt Not Expected To Play On Christmas Day

Regardless of the league's COVID-19 protocols, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski doesn't expect running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) to play on Christmas Day against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday in Week 16. Hunt had a combined nine carries for 25 yards and caught two passes for 13 yards in Weeks 12 and 14 […]
