The Cleveland Browns will take on the Baltimore Ravens in the other battle of bitter AFC North rivals. This one probably won't be as hotly contested as the matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers, though.
The Ravens are headed to the playoffs, while the Browns suffered through another miserable losing season. Maybe they should've kept quarterback Baker Mayfield. Instead, they went with QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles), who is terrible at football.
Now Baltimore will probably stomp Cleveland, which will be funny to see. This game could feature some solid fantasy football performances as well, so we'll break down three players from among these two teams and give expert start-sit advice for each.
Should I Start D'Onta Foreman for Fantasy Football?
No. Some way, somehow, Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman finds himself potentially fantasy football relevant at some point every year. But the Ravens have the toughest run defense in the league, the Browns are tanking and in shambles, and Foreman is the third-stringer.
Jerome Ford & Pierre Strong Out For Week 18

With both RBs Jerome Ford (ankle) and Nick Chubb (foot) both on Injured Reserve now, Foreman will get the start. But he shouldn't be started in fantasy.
Should I Start Mark Andrews for Fantasy Football?
He's been an absolute touchdown machine this season, with 10 receiving scores now. He's also still an elite separator and one of the best players at his position in the league this year. He should've been started in every game this season without question, though he had a rough stretch early on.
The Baltimore Ravens will have a fully healthy and productive Mark Andrews for the playoffs; something we missed last year!

Start him with confidence!
Should I Start Rashod Bateman for Fantasy Football?
Schrodinger's wide receiver is easily Bateman. He puts up huge games, then follows them up with disappearing acts regularly. Baltimore demolished the Houston Texans last week, and Bateman played just 44% of the offensive snaps, catching his only target for 12 yards.

He's not a bad receiver, and the defense could always bust coverage and give him a big play, but he's tough to trust in fantasy football due to his inconsistency. He's a WR3/FLEX option in deeper leagues and someone you only want to start if you're okay with his boom-bust nature.
