Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
A.J. Green
#4 Ranked WR
We said it before and we will say it again: A.J. Green is a beast and you should always start him. Biblical rains pouring down? Cincinnati experiences a blizzard un-matched in the last 100 years? A hurricane magically hit Ohio? Yeah…you still start him. You don’t bench beasts…ever. His 150 yards and TD didn’t just come out of nowhere. Play him and be thankful that he is on your team.
Giovani Bernard
#17 Ranked RB
Bernard has made a statement that he is the guy in Cincinnati. He scored 3 TDs in the last two weeks and has had double digit fantasy points as well. Being the goal line guy plus receiving more touches than Green-Ellis makes him a must start. As you know, RBs are falling like flies.
Gut Calls
Andy Dalton
#14 Ranked QB
You know we usually put Andy Dalton in the must starts, but we just can’t do that to you again this week. Did he ruin your week last week? Probably not, as he did score 14 fantasy points, but you were looking for more from your starting QB and 10 other QBs had more points than him. The Browns give up average points to QBs so expect average points from Dalton.
Bengals DEF
#3 Ranked DEF
The Bengals defense is very good and could be considered a gut check this week. Yes, Jason Campbell doesn’t really throw any INTs , but the Browns do give up the 19th most points to DEFs. When you look at the games that Campbell played they gave up around 4 to 6 points….so look for points in that range.
Bench Warmers
Tyler Eifert
#17 Ranked TE
Don’t be lured onto the Eifert train because he scored 5 points last week. Don’t do it. He is not consistent and you have better options. Get off the train.
