Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 1

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Often times, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. The star of the season opener, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, is a rookie himself, although his dominant fantasy performance surprised few. However, it goes to show how quickly […]

Browns Defense To Be Without Greedy Williams, Mack Wilson

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Greedy Williams (shoulder) and Kevin Johnson (liver) and linebacker Mack Wilson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Ravens. Cleveland's secondary is short-handed with Williams and Johnson sidelined and rookie safety Grant Delpit on Injured Reserve. That's not a good combination with Lamar Jackson and the explosive Ravens offense […]

Jarvis Landry's Playing Time Could Be Game-Plan Dependent

After having hip surgery in February, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) has been taking part in roughly every other practice since training camp began. While he hasn't been listed on the injury report this week, Landry could see reduced snaps early in the season. Landry told reporters via Zoom, "How much [I’ll play] […]

Kevin Stefanski To Call Plays In 2020

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Friday that he will call the offensive plays in his first season as head coach, but he'll also work collaboratively with offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt.

Greedy Williams Still Dealing With Shoulder Injury

Cleveland Browns cornerback Greedy Williams (shoulder) is not practicing on Thursday.

The likely absence of Williams is going to be a big problem for the Browns as […]

On Thursday, September 10th at 8:20 PM EST, the 2020 NFL season kicks off. It has been a long 221 days since we last saw NFL football and with all that is going on in the world, it felt like (and was even a possibility) this day may never come. Thankfully, the NFL has implemented […]

Why Noah Fant Will Be This Year's Breakout Tight End

Every year in fantasy football, the tight end position is, for lack of a better word, mediocre. There are a few stars at the top and then a group of indistinguishable players in the middle. Sometimes though, there is one who waded through the muck and rises to the top of the heap. Last season, […]

Thursday Night Football Week 1: DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings

Football is back! And what a way to welcome back the NFL to our lives than with the defending Super Bowl Champs taking on the Houston Texans in Kansas City.

Coaching Matters: AFC North Play-Calling Impact on RB

In fantasy football, many of us 'experts' in the field try to take as much data into account before concluding players. That includes means looking at things like game tape, the team's offensive line, or their primary play-callers historical tendencies to utilize a certain position. After much research, I've developed a broad knowledge of how […]

One way to do so is by having a good understanding of current ADP data. The current ADP will give fantasy owners […]

Browns Defense In A Tough Spot In Week 1

The Cleveland Browns Defense draws a tough matchup in their season opener in Week 1. Cleveland will face an explosive Baltimore Ravens offense on the road to kick off the year. Baltimore sported one of the top offenses in the league in 2019 and is returning all of their important players at the skill positions. […]

Kareem Hunt Signs Two-Year Extension

The Cleveland Browns signed running back Kareem Hunt to a two-year, $13.25 million extension on Tuesday. The deal will keep Hunt in Cleveland through the end of the 2022 season after the running back was initially scheduled to become a free-agent after the year. While the extension is good news for Hunt, it isn't particularly […]

2020 Team Defense (DST) Draft Sleepers

If last year proved anything, it's that a top-flight DST can be a league winner. According to ESPN, the Steelers were on 18.4% of league-winning teams, the Ravens on 18.1%, and the juggernaut Patriots DST was on 14.2% of teams. However, as we've seen in seasons past, drafters can oftentimes overreact to a great season […]

Austin Hooper Set To Make Cleveland Debut

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper will debut with his new team when he travels to Baltimore to take on the Ravens in Week 1. Cleveland awarded Hooper with a huge free-agent contract in the offseason and he has reportedly shown excellent chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield in the early going. Good chemistry might not […]

Jarvis Landry A Flex Play For Week 1

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry will travel to Baltimore to face the division-rival Ravens in Week 1. Landry spent most of the offseason rehabbing his hip after undergoing surgery in February. All signs point to him being able to play in Week 1, although it is unclear how limited (if at all) he will […]

Odell Beckham Jr. A WR2 In Week 1

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will take on a tough Baltimore Ravens Defense in a road game to kick off the season in Week 1.

Kareem Hunt A Solid Flex In Week 1

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt will travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens in Week 1. Hunt enters the year as the team's clear third-down back as he should see the majority of the running back targets in the passing game. While that is a role that can be hard to predict on […]

Nick Chubb A Solid RB2 In Week 1

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb will travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens to kick off the 2020 season. Chubb faced off against the Ravens twice in 2019 with mixed results. He racked up 165 rushing yards and three touchdowns the first time they met but only managed 45 scoreless yards in the […]

Baker Mayfield Hard To Trust In Week 1

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has plenty of appeal as a post-hype sleeper in 2020. The entire Cleveland offense let down fantasy gamers in 2019 but the talent is still there for Mayfield to put together some QB1 weeks in 2020. That is unlikely to be the case in Week 1, however, as the Browns […]

Stop That Hype Train! David Montgomery

David Montgomery finished his rookie season with 889 rushing yards and six touchdowns while also catching 25 passes and 185 yards and one touchdown.
