Cleveland Browns

Isaiah Crowell/Duke Johnson (Running Backs): Crowell had a pretty decent day racking up 49 yards on 13 carries however he found the end zone in the air catching both of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown. Johnson had a better week 4 but week 5 was dominated by Crowell. Johnson finished the day with 9 carries for 22 yards and caught 6 of 8 targets for 55 yards.

Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): Benjamin has stood out all season long as the main wide receiver this Browns team will utilize and he has been extremely productive. Benjamin stayed out of the end zone this week but caught 6 out of 12 of his targets for 89 yards. Benjamin is a solid WR3/ Flex option every week.

Gary Barnidge (Tight End): Barnidge has broken on to the tight end scene and has been extremely active in these last few games. Barnidge caught 8 out of 10 targets for 139 yards and a touchdown. A pretty solid day for a guy who was not even mentioned in fantasy magazines in preseason, expect Barnidge to continue to be McCown's safety blanket.

Baltimore Ravens

Justin Forsett (Running Back): Forsett had a great game racking up 121 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. With Taliaferro out Forsett saw more carries than usual and put them to great use. He also was a threat through the air catching 4 out of 5 targets for 49 yards however he suffered an ankle injury in overtime which kept him out of the rest of the game.

Kamar Aiken (Wide Receiver): Aiken was Joe Flacco's true number 1 wide receiver this week as he caught 7 out of 9 targets for 78 yards. Aiken will probably lose some relevance as Steve Smith returns however he still will see some targets.
