In this story:


We are to the point in the NFL season where the contenders and pretenders are starting to separate themselves, the same goes for your fantasy league. 

If you have deleted the app on your phone, I understand. But if you are still in it and have a chance to make a playoff run, don't let one bad lineup derail your year.

This game on Sunday between the Browns and Seahawks will has the makings for a handful of good fantasy performances, but no real threats to breakout.

Start 'Em

Sit 'Em

This game is going to feel like a bit of a slugfest. The Cleveland defense got exposed last week and that leads me to believe that they will have an increased sense of urgency to perform to their billing.

Meanwhile, Seahawks offense in the past two weeks has really not looked like itself. They sputtered against the Bengals and were only able to put up 13 points. They followed that performance up with a 20-point, turnover-filled game against the Cardinals. How will they respond against one of the top defenses in the NFL?

The Browns are going to try and turn this thing into a field position, old-school, patient matchup. Look for Cleveland to lean heavily on the run game and dominate the time of possession battle. If this game goes Cleveland's way, look for the final score to be in the range of 17-10.

When the final horn sounds on Sunday, there likely won't be a ton of eye-opening statistical performances. However, a number of players will do enough to help you inch toward a fantasy playoff birth.
