michaelredd9 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Fournette (ankle) downgraded to DNP on Friday http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/12132/leonard-fournette Leonard Fournette (ankle) is not practicing Friday. Fournette was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, so this is a downgrade for him. It's possible the team is just being easy on their offensive centerpiece, but this is now something to watch this weekend. Fournette has admitted he's not looking forward to playing in the cold weather at Cleveland this weekend, but we don't see it as a reason to downgrade him from RB1/2 status. The Browns' elite run defense is more of a blockade to his fantasy success. Nov 17 - 11:14 AM Source: Ryan O'Halloran on Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 The Browns run defense has been pretty good. Opposing running backs have scored the 10th fewest points against their defense. The 4 running backs that have scored the most against them are Jerrick McKinnon (26.10 points), Buck Allen (21.10 points), Giovani Bernard (16.10 points), and Theo Riddick (13.70). All 4 are running backs that get a lot of receiving points. All 4 had more than 10 fantasy points against the Browns from receiving stats. Allen, Bernard, and Riddick each had a receiving touchdown. This probably doesn't bode well for either Fournette or Ivory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesplante11 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Glover Quinn said last week the Browns field a better collective group of athletes than 24 of 32 NFL teams, and that was after the game. Now we just need them to get all their s*it together collectively and maybe think about a .500 team soon...like in 2 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 The Browns might just be a good quarterback away from being good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesplante11 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 They need weapons first, if they have no one to catch the ball they would need a QB that can make everyone better. If they get some weapons around a QB they just need a game manager. See Tom Brady pre-Gronk era, and Alex Smith pre-2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I think I'm going to move Fournette to the bench. Can't take the risk of him not playing at all. Did he practice today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Gordon if he can stay out of trouble would be some serious WR talent, and the rookie TE Njoku has shown flashes of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesplante11 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I’m glad I traded Fournette. If I remember correctly his heart and desire to play was in question at LSU as well and people kind of wrote that off saying when he’s paid it will be different. Now he’s missing curfew, missing team photos, benched at the end of last game, a report came out about him not wanting to play in the Cleveland cold, and then he’s injured...the guy seems to have lost some will to play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
