Fantasy Corner: Start 'Em and Sit 'Em in Browns vs Jets

Cleveland and New York lock horns on Thursday, here is who you should start and who you should sit in your Fantasy semifinal matchup

If you're lucky enough to have Amari Cooper on your team, congrats on making it to the semi-finals of your fantasy league. 

The Browns and Jets line it up on Thursday Night and several guys in this matchup are going to help propel you to your Fantasy Championship.

Start 'Em

• Wide Receiver - Amari Cooper
• Wide Receiver - Elijah Moore
• Tight End - David Njoku
• Quarterback - Joe Flacco
• Running Back - Jerome Ford (If necessary)
• Wide Receiver - Garrett Wilson
• Running Back - Breece Hall
• Browns Defense

Sit 'Em

• Jets Defense 
• Kicker - Dustin Hopkins (Injured)
• Kicker - Greg Zuerlein

The question going into Thursday Night is if the Jets team is going to be bought into competing in this one. If they are, the Browns are going to be in for a dogfight. This Jets defense is really good and can cause havoc for us.

If the Jets are already checked out, which is where I am leaning toward, then the Browns could get on a run and this thing could snowball. 

When Cleveland's offense is on the field the Jets are going to try and take Amari Cooper away early. We have seen Cooper have success when he is double and triple teamed but look for them to try and take No. 2 away. 

When they take Cooper away, this opens up the opportunity for Njoku, Moore, Cedrick Tillman, and Marquise Goodwin to take center stage. I expect their targets tonight to be higher than usual.

When the Browns are on defense, look for them to have Bryce Hall circled. Wherever he goes the Browns will have at least four eyes on him. That may open up some opportunities for Garrett Wilson to get a few more catches than normal and maybe even a score.

Hall and Wilson are the two major threats that Cleveland will have to be on high alert for. The Browns' defensive line is going to have a huge advantage all night with this lowly Jets offensive line so it could be a long night for them on offense.

Make sure you take Dustin Hopkins out of your lineup as he has been ruled out for this one. Greg Zeurlein is listed as questionable but it is tough to kick in Cleveland Browns Stadium. Take him out of your lineup if you can.
