Cleveland Browns Secondary Sets Up Bengals For DFS Success

  • The Cleveland Browns rank 27 in fantasy points allowed on balls over 15 yards downfield.
  • The Cleveland Browns rank 30 in yards (96.5), and 30 in touchdowns (seven) allowed to opposing WR1 options.
  • Landry has averaged 19.2 fantasy points per game over his past six regular-season games without Odell Beckham on the field.

CINCINNATI - The Cleveland Browns travel down to Cincinnati this week to take on the Bengals for an interdivisional clash. The stakes should be high in this rivalry game, as both teams are jockeying for AFC North position.

Oddsmakers have listed the host Cincinnati Bengals as three-point favorites while setting the game total at 47 points. While DFS players might just gloss over this game expecting a low-scoring slugfest, there is potential DFS value to be had on both sides.

Joe Burrow $6,800

Healthy this season, Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is performing at an all-time high level. Burrow has turned in four straight QB1 fantasy performances and will look to keep the streak going against Cleveland.

Burrow is the only quarterback in the league to throw for multiple passing touchdowns in every game so far this season.

Burrow has thrown a total of nine passing touchdowns in his past three games, solidifying his floor as a quality NFL DFS play on DraftKings at just $6800.

Ja’Marr Chase $7,600

The favorite at online sportsbooks to win NFL Offensive Rookie Of The Year, Chase makes for the primary stacking partner with Joe Burrow.

Ja’Marr Chase leads the Cincinnati Bengals in target share at 23.1%, and the Cleveland Brown have been hemorrhaging fantasy points to WR1’s this season. The Browns allow 96.5 receiving yards per game (30th) and seven touchdowns (30th) against opposing WR1 options this season.

Tee Higgins $5,300

Higgins' low price stands out on DraftKings, as a receiver tied to one of the top offenses on the slate.

Higgins established a 17-yard ADOT last week against the New York Jets, showing that Joe Burrow does not only target Chase on deep balls. Higgins has seven targets 15 yards or further downfield in his past two games, which may mean a ceiling performance may be on the horizon.

The Cleveland Browns rank 27 in fantasy points allowed on balls over 15 yards downfield, which strengthens Tee Higgins chances of hitting an upside this week.

Nick Chubb $6,700

Kareem Hunt is still out, which means it is still the Nick Chubb show in Cleveland.

Chubb handled 70.8% of the snaps last week and had a TD vultured by backup running back D’ernest Johnson. The Bengals have allowed five rushing touchdowns on the ground this season, which helps strengthen Chubb’s floor as a fantasy option and bring back in Bengal stacks.

Jarvis Landry $5,100

Landry should retake his spot as target hog in Cleveland, with Odell Beckham’s future in Cleveland appearing in question.

Landry has averaged 19.2 fantasy points per game over his past six regular-season games without Odell Beckham on the field.
