Duke Johnson Can't Be Used In Week 15

After a huge game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson has seen just seven total touches over his past three games played. The pass-catching specialist will take on the Denver Broncos on Saturday night in Week 15. Denver's defense has struggled against running backs in the passing […]

Nick Chubb A Low-End RB1 vs. Denver

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb continues to impress as the team's lead back, scoring a touchdown in six of seven games since the Carlos Hyde trade. Chubb will travel to Denver to face the Broncos in Week 15 in what shapes up as a somewhat difficult matchup for him. The Broncos have been solid […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Week 15

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a fantastic real-life game which saw him complete 18 of his 22 pass attempts against the Carolina Panthers. That being said, his production in the fantasy realm was lacking as he threw just one touchdown in the game. Since the team fired Hue Jackson and Todd Haley, […]

If at least one of your fantasy teams is still in contention for a championship, congratulations.

Baker Mayfield Struggling to Find Fantasy Success

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield had a rough fantasy showing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14, posting his lowest points total since Week 6 with a stat line of 238 yards and only one touchdown. While Mayfield had a great performance on film, he simply struggled to shine from a fantasy perspective, as […]

David Njoku Disappoints in Week 14

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku had a disappointing game in Week 14, as he only hauled in three catches for 35 yards. The Browns were executing a lot of big plays throughout the game but never really got the chance to have consistent red-zone looks that would allow for Njoku to outmatch his opponents […]

Antonio Callaway Irrelevant in Browns Win

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway had about as poor of a day as possible against Carolina, as he hauled in one catch for zero yards. It was a disappointing day in the Browns receiving corps for any of the usual targets not named Jarvis Landry. Callaway is starting to lose his role on the […]

Jarvis Landry Explodes For Huge Game

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry found the end zone twice, once as a running back and once via a beautiful pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield. Landry also had 111 combined rushing and receiving yards. The fifth-year wide receiver established himself as the cornerstone of the offense this week, as it was a tough matchup […]

Nick Chubb Showing His Floor is Non-Existent

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb took a step back in production, getting only 13 carries for 66 yards versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 14. Chubb kept his hot streak of finding the end zone alive, tallying his fifth week in a row with a touchdown. This is also the second straight week that […]

Week 14 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

This feels like the first time in ages we have not lost a fantasy gold mine type team to Thursday Night Football. Seriously can one of the Jaguars and Titans play in that slot every week? Their current brand of football suits it so well! What that does mean is that entering the fantasy weekend […]

Rashard Higgins Struggling to Find Consistency

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins had his best performance of the season in Week 13, but the likelihood of this production continuing seems to be slim. Higgins is a touchdown-reliant player, which is not the best title for someone that is listed third on the team's receiver depth chart. The game plan simply is […]

Browns Defense Faces Off Against Panthers

The Cleveland Browns defense/special teams faces off against the high-powered offensive duo of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and running back Christian McCaffrey in Week 14. The Browns defense/special teams has been subpar at producing points by forcing turnovers in recent weeks, leading to low production numbers from the unit. Also, the Panthers take good care of the […]

Antonio Callaway is a Stretch to Find Lineups in Week 14

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway has a favorable matchup in Week 14 against an underwhelming Carolina Panthers secondary. The University of Florida product heads into the matchup as the second option in the Browns receiving corps, as he was on the field for 72 percent of snaps last week and also hauled in […]

Duke Johnson Continues to Have Minimal Value

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson has started to become stagnant in recent weeks, as fellow running back Nick Chubb has continued to carry most of the team's production. Johnson holds stronger value than usual this week, as the Browns may try to attack more via the air due to the strength of the Panthers run […]

David Njoku Eyes Big Game Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku posted a disappointing stat line in Week 13 and looks to bounce back against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14. The Panthers have been extremely inconsistent when covering tight ends this year, as early this year they were letting up around 20 points a game to opposing tight ends. […]

Nick Chubb Has Another Tough Test Versus Panthers

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has been on fire in recent weeks and looks to bring the heat once again in his Week 14 matchup against a solid Panthers run defense. Do not be scared of the fact that Chubb is facing a top-five rush defense, as he proved last week he can compete […]

Jarvis Landry Looks to Bring the Juice in Week 14

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry had his best performance since Week 7 last week and looks to keep things going in Week 14 versus the Carolina Panthers. The matchup is extremely enticing for Landry, as the Panthers secondary does not have a top corner that can lock down a star receiver. Landry should have […]

Baker Mayfield Looks to Bounce Back in Week 14

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield struggled in his Week 13 performance versus the Houston Texans. He looks to rebound against a Carolina Panthers secondary that has been struggling in recent weeks, as they currently are the sixth-worst pass defense against opposing quarterbacks. Expect the rookie Oklahoma product to bounce back from his poor Week 14 […]

Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson, who had missed two practices this week due to the death of his grandmother, returned to the team on Friday and should play in Week 14 against the Panthers. Johnson had a measly two touches last week against the Texans and three total touches the week prior, so the […]

Denzel Ward Ruled Out Against Panthers

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Panthers. Ward has been the team's best cornerback in his rookie season and has shown a nose for the football, so it'll certainly be a downgrade for a defense going up against a strong offense in Carolina. Ward's absence […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 14): NFL DFS Lineups

This is an intriguing slate in Week 14. With the Chiefs, Steelers, Chargers, and Saints all on the slate, there is plenty of firepower. The Rams game being flexed to the Sunday Night Football slot is not a huge loss as they are playing a very good Bears defense. In addition, we have some defenses […]
