NFL Week 10 Fantasy Preview: Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers, Gary Barnidge, Travis Benjamin, Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant, DeAngelo Williams

Cleveland Browns

Duke Johnson Jr (Running Back): Johnson is an interesting case because he has not really gotten anything done on the ground this season however he has been catching a ton of balls in these last couple of games. He makes a ton of plays when Manziel is not the starting quarterback so if you have him only start him if McCown is back under center.

Gary Barnidge (Tight End): Barnidge was matchup proof until Johnny Manziel walked onto the football field. Manziel could not find Barnidge all game long and he threw to him 7 times (Barnidge only had 2 receptions). If McCown is playing Barnidge is a must start otherwise he should be comfortably resting on your bench.  

Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): If Manziel is the starting QB once again hit the panic button and bench Benjamin. He has been all kinds of cold these last 3 weeks and it has not all had to do with his quarterback. Duke Johnson's larger role in the passing game is most likely effecting Benjamin's chances at being more productive.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Antonio Brown/Martavis Bryant (Wide Receivers): Will he or won't he is what Brown and Bryant owners are asking themselves. Will Roethlisberger play? Because if he does there are enough targets to make both of these guys quality starts but if Landry Jones plays Bryant will become the new number one in week 10. Jones has seemed to be more confident in passing to Bryant for some reason so this situation should be monitored very closely. Either way it should be too hard for the Steelers to put up points against one of the worst defenses in the league.

DeAngelo Williams (Running Back): Williams is looking like Le'Veon Bell 2.0 and fantasy owners can expect some big production from him against a Cleveland defense that has given up the 4th most fantasy points to NFL running backs. Williams is a solid RB1.
