Cincinnati Bengals 8-4-1 at Cleveland Browns 7-6 Huge changes made the Week 15 Cleveland Browns Fantasy Forecast a long, tedious guessing game. We hope for the best, but are prepared for the worst. Cincinnati gives up the 7th fewest points to QBs 4th most points to RBs 2nd fewest points to WRs 10th most points to TEs 19th most points to DEFs A note to start: Brian Hoyer pulled a Kyle Orton and pretty much begged the coaching staff to pull him after three weeks of very, very bad football. We’ve supported Hoyer and the coaches all year, almost solely as a response to the ridiculous media frenzy around “Johnny Football” but it is time to move on. Better luck with the Jets, Brian. Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em Isaiah Crowell – #13 Ranked RB Questionable (Hip) Last week Crowell got 14 carries and Terrance West got 15. Crowell ended up with 54 rushing yards and a touchdown while West rushed for 54 yards and no touchdown. Neither of them catch passes. The touchdowns are consistently what puts Crowell in the higher ranks. Crowell has scored 8 times as opposed to West’s 3. We have West at #31 and he’s a Gut Call. However, the last time they played Cincinnati is was the Thursday night game when all 3 backs (these two and Tate) scored a touchdown. Also, West had the most yards that week at 94. I think both are nice plays, just watch the injury report in case this week they actually do sit Crowell due to his hip. Josh Gordon – #13 Ranked WR Gordon was great his first...

Indianapolis Colts 8-4 at Cleveland Browns 7-5 Indianapolis gives up the 12th most points to QBs 5th most points to RBs 6th fewest points to WRs absolute most points to TEs 3rd fewest points to DEFs Let’s start with “don’t start a defense against Andrew Luck and the Colts” Oh, you wanted me to start with Johnny Football? Let me be frank, Brian Hoyer took a rag-tag team with no Josh Gordon, no Jordan Cameron, no Pro Bowl center and a haphazard running game to 7 and 5. Is he great? No. But if you’re asking me if I’m surprised borderline coach of the year, Pettine, went with Hoyer. No, no I am not. Coach Pettine has been both loyal and honest all year. I also think Hoyer is a crappy fantasy quarterback and puts the “man” in “game manager.” Fine. Whatever. And no, I do not think you should pick up Johnny Football just in case. And no, I do not think you should pick up Ray Rice and/or Adrian Peterson. If you have to play these guys you are not in the playoffs. On to the rest of the team… Start Isaiah Crowell. He had a tough match up against the Bills last week and he was bad. He carried the ball 17 times for 29 yards and caught one of his two targets for 15 yards. The Colts give up the 5th most points to RBs. Should look up because he seems to play well in cushy match ups. Enjoy. But don’t start Terrance West. Last week he only carried the ball seven times for 32 yards and caught one...

Cleveland Browns 7-4 at Buffalo Bills 6-5 The Browns keep picking themselves up and winning. The fantasy points have been inconsistent, but if last week is any indicator, having Josh Gordon back in the lineup may add a much needed spark to get you points. Unfortunately, the Bills have a fabulous defense so we’re cautiously optimistic in the Week 13 Cleveland Browns Fantasy Forecast. Buffalo gives up the 4th fewest points to QBs They give up the 3rd fewest points to RBs They are tied for giving up the 11th fewest points to WRs They are tied for giving up the 3rd fewest points to TEs They give up the 12th most points to DEFs Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em Josh Gordon and Andrew Hawkins – #5 and #54 Ranked WRs I think Hawkins should be ranked higher. Buffalo has a tough, tough defense. They are weakest against receivers, but still only give up the 11th fewest. I think both will get targets and will be nice plays in PPR leagues. The defense will key in on Gordon, so as I said, Hawkins should benefit. Last week Gordon caught eight of 16 targets for 120 yards. Hawkins caught all five of his targets for 93 yards. Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West – #18 and #36 Ranked RBs It’s pretty clear that Crowell is the guy you want in fantasy. The Bills give up the 3rd fewest points to Running Backs, but he’s going to get a ton of work so the fantasy points should be there. Last week Crowell carried the ball 12 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns. West got 14 carries, but they...
