The Cleveland Browns get their second consecutive home game this week as they try to move past the Myles Garrett helmet incident. Without one of their most prominent defensive presences, the Browns should still be able to handle the lowly Miami Dolphins. While it’s Cleveland’s first time in over a decade going into a game as double-digit favorites, it’s familiar territory for Miami to be double-digit underdogs.
On that same point, the last time these two met back in 2016, the Dolphins were actually 10-point favorites. They won it in overtime to mark two wins in a row against the Browns franchise. The outcome should be a bit different this time around. After throwing at least one interception in each of his first seven games of the season, Baker Mayfield (DFS salary $5,900) will face one of the league’s worst defenses to extend his three-game turnover-less streak.
Perhaps this is the week that Odell Beckham Jr. ($7,000) finally goes off? The star wide receiver is having his statistically worst season and being overshadowed by teammate Jarvis Landry ($6,300). There’s a possibility that Landry’s old teammate, Devante Parker ($5,200), boasts bigger stats than both Browns WRs, coming off of a game with seven catches for 135 yards. I’d wager it’s more likely that Nick Chubb ($8,100) outshines all receivers in a home game where the Browns are heavily favored. Not to mention the Dolphins are allowing the second-most rushing yards per game. Yes, Kareem Hunt ($5,600) is active for the Browns, but he hasn’t cut into Chubb’s carries as he’s primarily used in the passing game.
Cleveland has let its fans down before, but I don’t think that will be the case this week. I’m predicting a low-scoring game (under 45.5 points) and the Dolphins to cover, as long as Ryan Fitzpatrick ($5,000) is healthy enough to play the whole game.
