Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball nine times for 41 yards and added a 21-yard reception in a 41-32 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. While Nick Chubb struggled, Ford looked explosive, ripping off several long gains and averaging 4.6 yards per carry. It goes as his best performance on the ground since October 6 against the Washington Commanders. That being said, Cleveland is committed to running Chubb on early downs and near the goal line, which will limit Ford's ceiling in fantasy. He remains a solid handcuff option but doesn't hold much standalone value with Chubb healthy. Ford will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 14.
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball nine times for 21 yards while adding two catches for 24 yards and a touchdown in a 41-32 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. Chubb struggled to get much going on the ground in the high-scoring loss, which prompted the Browns to air it out in the second half. The veteran running back was fortunately able to salvage his fantasy outing with a five-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter, tying the game at 31-31. Chubb has struggled on the ground in his six games, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry, but he has shown a nose for the end zone in scoring four all-purpose TDs. He will be a high-end RB3 in Week 14's road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He scored twice back when these two teams faced off in Cleveland in Week 12.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston completed 34 of his 58 passes for 497 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding 11 yards on three rushes and a two-point conversion to Jerry Jeudy in a 41-32 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. Winston gave fans a classic mixed-bag performance as he set a personal and Browns team record with 497 passing yards but also threw two pick-sixes, including a back-breaking one with 1:48 left on the clock and his team needing just a field goal to take the lead. Winston threw two touchdown passes to David Njoku while finding Jerry Jeudy and Nick Chubb for his other two scores. The veteran quarterback has posted big numbers for the Browns this season, throwing for 1,763 yards, 11 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He will be a QB2 in fantasy in Week 14 when the Browns travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers.
Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins has struggled with his accuracy in 2024, hitting 15 of his 21 field-goal attempts thus far. He will look to turn in a big game in Week 13's Monday night game against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos have been a decent matchup for fantasy kickers this season, allowing the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Hopkins and the Cleveland offense have been too inconsistent to trust him as a high-end fantasy option in Week 13, so fantasy gamers should look elsewhere for their starter at the position.
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku was quiet in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just a nine-yard pass and a two-point conversion. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. The Broncos have been tough against the pass this season, allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. While the matchup is not ideal, Njoku has been a dominant fantasy tight end of late, reaching at least 17.1 PPR points in three of his past five games. He checks in as a low-end TE1 in fantasy for Week 13.
