Cincinnati at Cleveland
Browns
QB Robert Griffin: The lifespan of a Cleveland QB is all of about one quarter. Don’t start RGIII.
RB Isaiah Crowell: Crowell’s production has dropped considerably in recent weeks, but he gets a decent matchup this week. Cincinnati allows the 10th most points to opposing RBs.
WR Terrelle Pryor/Corey Coleman:Â Pryor is a safer play week-to-week, offering consistency. Coleman found the end zone the last time out, and he offers big-play potential in the flex spot.
TE Gary Barnidge: Unless you’re still in 2015, don’t start Barnidge. He hasn’t hit double-digit fantasy points all season.
Bengals
QB Andy Dalton: Dalton’s fantasy production has been steady this season if not great. He should have no trouble moving the ball against the Browns, who allow the second-most points to opposing QBs.
RB Jeremy Hill: Giovani Bernard’s injury hands more touches to Hill, who is in line for a big afternoon against a poor Cleveland run defense.
WR Tyler Boyd/Brandon LaFell:Â Neither receiver has offered consistency since A.J. Green went down, but both could have productive afternoons.
TE Tyler Eifert: Eifert doesn’t care for double coverage, catching touchdowns in each of his past two games. Consider him a high-upside TE1 this week.
