Austin Hooper Ruled Out For Week 8

Cleveland Browns starting tight end Austin Hooper (abdomen) has been ruled out for his team's Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Hooper underwent an emergency appendectomy ahead of his Week 7 contest and will miss his second consecutive game as he recovers. Hooper's absence opens up fantasy value for both Harrison Bryant and […]

Steelers Defense Tough To Trust In Week 8

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense has been one of the best units in the NFL through the first seven weeks of the season. Pittsburgh's defense ranks No. 2 overall in DVOA and has proven to be a tough matchup for opposing offenses. That being said, they will face a stiff test in Week 8 in a […]

Eric Ebron Tough To Trust In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron has been productive over the last month of the season, catching at least five passes in three of his last four games. He could struggle to keep it going in Week 8 as he will face off against a tough Baltimore Ravens team. Baltimore's pass defense ranks seventh in […]

Chase Claypool A Solid Flex In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool disappointed in Week 7, finishing with just one catch on his lone target. The slow outing by Claypool coincided with the return to action by No. 1 wideout Diontae Johnson, who caught two touchdowns in the game. Claypool appears to have a tough matchup on tap for Week 8 […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A WR3 In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster finally showed some signs of life in Week 7, setting season highs with nine catches and 85 yards in a win over the Tennessee Titans. While his big performance helped to ease concerns about his slow start to the season, Smith-Schuster could struggle to produce against the Baltimore Ravens […]

Diontae Johnson A WR3 In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (toe) is coming off a two-touchdown outing in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. Johnson's big day was evidence that he is still the No. 1 wide receiver in Pittsburgh, despite the emergence of rookie Chase Claypool. Johnson is a bit banged up, however, as he missed practice on […]

James Conner An RB2 Against Baltimore

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has been a productive fantasy option for much of the season, having found the end zone four times in six games. He may struggle to reach his normal production levels in Week 8, however, against a tough Baltimore Ravens run defense. Baltimore is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per […]

Ben Roethlisberger A QB2 Against Baltimore

In Week 8, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be looking to bounce back from his worst performance of the season. Roethlisberger threw three interceptions and two touchdowns in Week 7, although the Steelers still wound up winning. He draws a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Baltimore's defense is allowing the […]

Browns Defense A Solid Option In Week 8

The Cleveland Browns Defense has been a solid play in fantasy for much of the 2020 season. While they are allowing opposing offenses to score frequently, Cleveland's defense has been opportunistic, leading the league with 14 takeaways through seven games. Cleveland is installed as three-point home favorites for their Week 8 matchup against the Las […]

Harrison Bryant A TE2 In Week 8

Cleveland Browns tight end Harrison Bryant had a huge game in Week 7, finishing with four catches for 56 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie tight end took on a larger role in the game with Austin Hooper unavailable after needing an emergency appendectomy. Hooper didn't practice on Wednesday and is looking unlikely to play […]

Rashard Higgins A Solid Flex In Week 8

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins set season-highs in Week 7 with six catches for 110 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. Slated to see a larger role thanks to Odell Beckham's season-ending knee injury, Higgins is all of a sudden very fantasy viable in Week 8 against a weak Las Vegas Raiders defense. Las Vegas […]

Jarvis Landry A WR2 For Week 8

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is averaging just 5.57 targets per game through the first seven weeks of the season. He should, however, see an uptick in targets with Odell Beckham Jr. out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. Now Cleveland's No. 1 WR, Landry draws an excellent Week 8 […]

Kareem Hunt An RB1 Versus Raiders

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has managed to find the end zone seven times through seven games thus far in the 2020 season. He draws an excellent Week 8 matchup against a leaky Las Vegas Raiders run defense that ranks just 29th in DVOA and is allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to […]

Baker Mayfield A High-End QB2 In Week 8

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off an excellent five-touchdown game in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Mayfield will look to repeat that success in Week 8 when he faces the Las Vegas Raiders at home. Las Vegas' pass defense has been shaky this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Reportedly Has Torn ACL

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. reportedly has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the 2020 season. While the Browns have yet to confirm it, Beckham reportedly texted ESPN's Josina Anderson and informed her of the results of his Monday morning MRI. The star wideout injured his knee while making a […]

Steelers Defense Quiet In Week 7 Win

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense was quiet in a 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Pittsburgh was unable to force a turnover and was credited with just two sacks in the game.

Eric Ebron Catches Six Passes Vs. Titans

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron caught six of his eight targets for 50 yards in a 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Ebron finished third on the team in receiving, behind Diontae Johnson and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and surprisingly ahead of rookie Chase Claypool. It continues a strong stretch of play for […]

Chase Claypool Disappoints In Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool lost two yards on his lone reception in a 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. It goes down as a disappointing outing for the rookie, who had scored five total touchdowns in the previous two games. The return of Diontae Johnson certainly played into Claypool's slow […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Draws 14 Targets In Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught nine of 14 targets for 85 yards in a 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. It was a welcome sight as Smith-Schuster wound up leading the Steelers in receiving in the outing after doing very little on the field over the previous two weeks. Smith-Schuster […]

James Conner Rolls Up 111 All-Purpose Yards

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner gained 82 yards on 20 carries and added three receptions for 29 yards in a 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. It goes down as the first time Conner has failed to find the end zone since Week 1 this season. To make matters worse for […]

Ben Roethlisberger Throws Three Interceptions In Win

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger struggled in a 27-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Roethlisberger completed 32 of 49 passes for 268 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions in the win.

Browns Defense Notches Four Sacks In Week 7

The Cleveland Browns Defense forced two turnovers and notched four sacks in a 37-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Cleveland's defense came into the game leading the league in takeaways and added two more to their total, one on a Joe Burrow interception and another on a Myles Garrett strip-sack. While the […]

Harrison Bryant Hauls In Pair Of TDs In Win

Cleveland Browns tight end Harrison Bryant caught four of five targets for 56 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7.

Donovan Peoples-Jones Catches First NFL TD

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones turned in a solid afternoon in a 37-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7.

Rashard Higgins Tops 100 Yards In Week 7

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins caught all six of his targets for 110 yards in a 37-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7.

Jarvis Landry Goes For 48 Yards In Win

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt carried the ball 18 times for 76 yards and added 26 yards and a touchdown on three receptions in a 37-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. It was another solid outing for Hunt, who now has three rushing touchdowns and four receiving scores in seven games […]

Baker Mayfield Throws Career-Best 5 TDs

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 22 of 28 passes for 297 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception in a 37-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7.
