Cleveland Browns
Duke Johnson Jr (Running Back): Johnson got no yards on the ground only rushing for 10 yards on 4 carries. He also caught all 4 of his targets for 18 yards. Throughout the Browns season it has become clear that Johnson is the best running back on this roster however another question should be can this offensive line block better for a lead back? Johnson has gotten it done through the air for the past few weeks which has given his fantasy value some life.
Gary Barnidge (Tight End): Barnidge bounced back after a quiet game against Cincinnati. Barnidge hauled in 6 out of 8 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. Barnidge showed more chemistry with Manziel and appeared to get over his week 9 weirdness. He will have the bye week to continue to work with Manziel on timing and chemistry.
Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): Benjamin saw some deep balls against Pittsburgh hauling in 7 of his 11 passes for 113 yards. With Manziel the starter for the future it is clear that he can get the ball to his primary targets in this offense.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Antonio Brown/Martavis Bryant (Wide Receivers): A pretty decent surprise occurred when Ben Roethlisberger stepped in to replace the injury Landry Jones, he was ready. Big Ben destroyed the Browns defense and his wide receivers saw the benefit of his return. Antonio Brown had an incredible game recording 10 receptions on 14 targets and 139 yards, 2 touchdowns, and a 2 point conversion. Bryant caught 6 out of 10 targets for 178 yards and a touchdown which just shows the level of production he can haul in depending on whose at quarterback.
DeAngelo Williams (Running Back): Williams only gained 54 yards on 17 carries which is obviously not what fantasy owners had in mind. Williams played second fiddle to the passing game the second Big Ben entered the game. Now entering his BYE week Williams will get a tough task when he faces the Seahawks in week 12.
