Myles Garrett Misses Practice Thursday, Hopeful To Play Sunday

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (illness) missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday, throwing his availability for Sunday's game against Philadelphia into flux. But the organization expects Garrett to return in at least a limited capacity on Friday, which would begin to trend him in the right direction for taking the field. The Browns Defense […]

Browns Defense A Top-Five Option In Week 11

The Cleveland Browns Defense draws an excellent matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. Philadelphia's offense has struggled this season, allowing 3.9 sacks per game, the most in the league. The Eagles have also had a hard time taking care of the ball, committing 17 turnovers, the third-most in the NFL. Cleveland's defense has […]

Austin Hooper A Low-End TE1 In Week 11

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught just one pass in a Week 10 win over the Houston Texans, partially thanks to the team playing through extremely windy conditions. Hooper has an excellent chance at bouncing back in Week 11 against a Philadelphia Eagles Defense that has struggled to contain tight ends in 2020. The […]

Jarvis Landry A Flex Option In Week 11

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is coming off a slow outing against the Houston Texans in Week 10. With Cleveland playing through extremely windy conditions, Landry finished with just three catches in the win. He should be more productive in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, although a run-heavy Cleveland offense has been limiting […]

Kareem Hunt A Low-End RB1 In Week 11

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt showed last week that the return of Nick Chubb would not cut into his workload on the football field. Hunt finished Week 10's win with 22 touches and topped 100 yards for the first time all season. The veteran running back will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at home […]

Nick Chubb An RB1 Against Eagles

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb showed that he is fully over his knee injury, rushing for 126 yards and a score last week against the Houston Texans. Chubb will be back in the RB1 conversation in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia's run defense has been middling this season, ranking 13th in DVOA […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Week 11

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield draws an encouraging matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles at home in Week 11. Philadelphia's pass defense has struggled this season, ranking 21st in DVOA. Whether Mayfield is able to take advantage of this plus matchup is another story, however. Mayfield has not thrown a touchdown since tossing five scores back […]

Cody Parkey, Jack Conklin Placed On COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns are placing kicker Cody Parkey, offensive tackle Jack Conklin and long snapper Charley Hughlett on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. All three players were deemed as high-risk close contacts, so their status for Week 11 against the Eagles is to be determined. The Browns have kicker Matthew McCrane on their practice squad […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 10

This series continues into its tenth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 10, we saw performances such as the Houston Texans running backs combining for 54 rushing yards, Alex Smith throwing for 390 yards, and the Tennessee Titans […]

Earlier this week in our IDP Waivers column, we laid out plan to go back over our IDP preseason predictions with a fine-tooth comb over the next few weeks.

With 10 weeks down, many are heading towards the home stretch of our fantasy football regular season. Are you in must-win territory?

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It was another one of those weeks where third-string tight ends were scoring touchdowns and All-Pro players were completely shut down. Just remember process > results when making your add/drop decisions. The waiver wire is more important in 2020 than ever. The players suggested here should be top priorities for early-week waiver claims; keep the […]

The Cut List (Week 11) - Time to Let Go?

I opened this column last week by lamenting the performance of my most cherished home-league fantasy team. The way things are going for me at the moment, I might just make that my weekly routine. In Week 10, I had Nick Chubb. I was facing Kyler Murray. One refused to score an easy touchdown. The […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

Week 10 brought horrible weather and the frontrunner for Play of the Year with the Kyler Murray-DeAndre Hopkins Hail Mary reception. We even stayed relatively clean as far as injuries went, with QBs bearing the brunt of it. Drew Brees has a rib injury, Teddy Bridgewater left with a knee injury but may return next […]

Andy Janovich Going On COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns are placing fullback Andy Janovich on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source. The Browns shut down their facility on Monday after a player tested positive for COVID-19, so we're assuming that Janovich was that player. There's still a chance that he could be cleared from the league's protocols in […]

Browns Defense Holds Houston To Seven Points

The Cleveland Browns Defense played well in a 10-7 win over the Houston Texans in Week 10. Aided by extremely windy conditions in Cleveland, the Browns didn't allow Houston to score until there was 4:59 left in the fourth quarter. They also managed to stuff Deshaun Watson on fourth and two on their own two-yard […]

Austin Hooper Catches Just One Ball

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught one of two targets for 11 yards in a 10-7 win over the Houston Texans in Week 10. Hooper and the entire passing offense was stifled by extremely windy conditions in Cleveland throughout the afternoon, with the Browns only attempting 20 passes compared to 41 rushes. Hooper's only […]

Jarvis Landry Goes For 29 Yards In Week 10 Win

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught three of five targets for 28 yards in a 10-7 win over the Houston Texans in Week 10. Stifled by extremely windy weather conditions in Cleveland for the second straight contest, Landry finished second in receiving with the Browns only completing 12 passes. Landry has been mostly quiet […]

Kareem Hunt Tops 100 Yards In Week 10 Win

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt carried 19 times for 104 yards and added three receptions for 28 yards in a 10-7 win over the Houston Texans in Week 10. The Browns leaned heavily on Hunt and Nick Chubb on an extremely windy day in Cleveland, and Hunt was certainly up for the challenge, ripping […]

Nick Chubb Tops 100 Yards, Scores In Return

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 19 times for 126 yards and a touchdown in a 10-7 win over the Houston Texans in Week 10. Making his first appearance since injuring his knee in Week 4, Chubb looked like his normal, explosive self in the win. It could have been a two-score […]

Baker Mayfield Throws For 132 Yards In Win

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 12 of 20 passes for 132 yards in a 10-7 win over the Houston Texans in Week 10. Mayfield's modest numbers can be partially attributed to an extremely windy day in Cleveland with weather bad enough that kickoff was delayed over 30 minutes thanks to a storm. Mayfield has […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 10

Every season, many rookies make names for themselves, garnering national attention. From Odell Beckham Jr. and Ezekiel Elliott to Josh Jacobs and A.J.

As a result, Mike Davis will likely see an […]

Nick Chubb Active For Week 10

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (MCL sprain) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Texans. Houston possesses one of the NFL's worst run defenses and Chubb should get ample opportunities to provide high-end RB2 value on what's expected to be a windy day in Cleveland. While Kareem Hunt's presence hurts Chubb's value, this matchup […]

Nick Chubb To Get Heavy Workload In Return

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is expected to receive a heavy workload in his return to the field in Week 10 against the Texans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Chubb missed the last four games with an MCL sprain, though it seems like he'll slide right back in as the Browns' bellcow against […]

The recommendations from the Week 9 wide receivers matchup article were hit or miss for the most part.
