Cleveland Browns

Duke Johnson Jr (Running Back): Johnson has become the primary weapon out of the backfield especially since the Browns have cut Robert Turbin. Johnson was targeted in his week 9 contest, but because of Manziel's inaccurate passing and propensity to stall the offense Johnson was not able to do much. Johnson ended up with 3 rushing attempts for 0 yards and caught 2 out of 4 targets for 38 yards and a touchdown.

Gary Barnidge (Tight End): Barnidge was also effected by Manziel's inability to get his top targets the ball. Barnidge only hauled in 2 out of 7 targets for 35 yards.

Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): Benjamin was the first player to break out in this offense however he has struggled since week 3. Benjamin only caught 3 of his 6 targets for 22 yards with Johnny Manziel under center.

Cincinnati Bengals

Andy Dalton (Quarterback): Andy Dalton had a stellar game completing 21 of 27 pass attempts. He gained 234 yards through the air and reeled in 3 touchdowns while not throwing a single interception. For good measure he added 6 carries for 5 yards. Dalton is one of the best quarterbacks of the year and looks to remain a QB 1 for the rest of the season.

Tyler Eifert (Tight End): Eifert had a monstrous game in the red zone. He only caught 5 out of 6 targets for 53 yards however he hauled in 3 touchdowns. Eifert has been a black hole for targets for these Cincinnati wide receivers.

A.J. Green/Marvin Jones (Wide Receiver): Green had a quiet day catching 4 out of 6 targets for only 53 yards. His counterpart Marvin Jones had the same amount of targets but managed to catch 5 of them for 78 yards. Neither player got into the end zone.

Jeremy Hill/Giovani Bernard (Running Back): Hill struggled mightily in what should have been an easy matchup. Hill carried the ball 15 times however only had 52 rushing yards. As for Bernard he only had 13 rushing attempts but gained 72 yards on the ground as well as catching his only target for 14 yards.
