Jarvis Landry A Low-End Flex In Week 5

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry salvaged his fantasy day in Week 4 with a 37-yard touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr. off of a trick play. Considering production like that isn't sustainable from a wide receiver, Landry will be hard to trust in a Week 5 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have […]

Odell Beckham Jr. A WR2 Against Colts

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had a huge three-touchdown game in a Week 4 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
