Cleveland Browns

Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): Travis Benjamin had his first nonproductive game of the season however he was facing arguably the best defense in the NFL. Benjamin finished the game with 4 receptions on 8 targets for 47 yards.

Gary Barnidge (Tight End): Barnidge continues to make a play for the best tight end in fantasy football. Barnidge hauled in 6 out of 7 targets for 101 yards which was the highest total by any receiver in the game. Barnidge is clearly the number 1 target in the Browns offense.

Duke Johnson (Running Back): Johnson saw a lot of time with the passing offense. Johnson only had 6 carries on the ground that gained 17 yards but he caught all 7 of his targets for 73 yards. Johnson is clearly the best back on the Browns roster.

St. Louis Rams

Todd Gurley (Running Back): Gurley was expected to have a big game and he did not disappoint. Gurley ended week 7 with 19 carries for 128 yards, 2 touchdowns, and caught 4 out of 5 targets for 35 yards. Gurley was just as dominant as his performances before and even broke into the end zone. As Gurley gets healthier and feels more comfortable with this offense his production will continue to grow. If you were smart enough to stash Gurley prior to his return you most likely are reaping the benefits, he is a MUST start.

Tavon Austin (Wide Receiver): Austin had the biggest day for Rams receivers reeling in 4 out of 7 targets for 43 yards and carried the ball once for 21 yards. Austin is now the second focal point in this offense behind Todd Gurley.
