Cleveland Browns

Duke Johnson Jr (Running Back): Johnson is really not an option in this game. The Browns are already struggling but to put them against the Legion of Boom just is not fair. It is safe to say the Seahawks have not only hit their stride but have mastered run defense. Johnson is already playing second fiddle on the ground to Isaiah Crowell so his production could decrease even further. The Seahawks have given up the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.

Gary Barnidge (Tight End): Barnidge should get a ton of targets in this game as Brian Hartline is now out for the season. Barnidge is becoming one of Manziel's favorite targets and the Seahawks are only vulnerable against the tight end. The Seahawks give up the 10th most fantasy points to Barnidge so he is a great play this week.

Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): Benjamin should return to the number 1 wide receiver role this week as he has been not as productive as he has been earlier in the season. This week he faces Richard Sherman and the Legion of Boom which means only one thing for Benjamin, he's grounded.


Seattle Seahawks

Doug Baldwin (Wide Receiver): Baldwin has been an absolute machine for the past 3 weeks. He has collected 8 touchdowns in the past 3 weeks alone. The Browns give up the 10th most fantasy points to wide receivers and Baldwin has continued to find a way to be consistently productive. Baldwin is a must start while he is playing this well.

Russell Wilson (Quarterback):  Wilson has been a monster for these past few weeks as well. Wilson is facing a defense that gives up the 10th most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Wilson has scored 16 touchdowns in the last 4 games and he absolutely could not play any better. He also has 250 plus yards in the past 4 games which is a clear sign that the Seahawks are leaning on Wilson.
