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.

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.
