  1. Gary Barnidge is still looking for his first score of the season and has seen his snaps, catches and yardage decline in each of the last three weeks.

Bell has at least six receptions in five straight games and has 100-plus total yards in each of his last two meetings with the Browns. A runner has produced 10-plus Fantasy points in nine of the 10 games against the Browns this year and has rushed for a touchdown in seven of the last eight..

Green played 16 snaps and caught three of his four targets for 30 yards. He is expected to play a much bigger role in the coming weeks and the Browns have allowed the most FanDuel points to tight ends in the league.

Three Bonus Facts

  1. Marcus Mariota may be the hottest quarterback in the NFL with multiple touchdown passes in four straight games. In that run, he is averaging over three touchdowns and 25 FanDuel points per game. This week he takes on the Colts, who are allowing 293 yards, 2.7 passing touchdowns and 24 FanDuel points (31st in the NFL) per game over the last four weeks.
