In this story:


The Browns and Broncos will match up on Sunday in a game that has become significant in the AFC Playoff picture. The Broncos are surging and so are the Browns. Since October 22 these two teams are a combined 7-1 and both are looking to make the playoffs in the AFC.

The difference between these two groups is that they are winning in incredibly unique ways. The Browns have been leaning on their defense and playing clean football to just grind teams out. 

The Broncos, on the other hand, are playing wild back-and-forth games that have a lot of turnovers, a bunch of drama and they are coming out on top. They aren't doing anything particularly great, but they are doing enough to get victories. They have totally turned around a "throw it away" season to one where they can get in the playoffs. 

From a fantasy perspective, nobody in this game is going to win you your matchup, but there are going to be a lot of solid performances today. Here is a guide on who to start and who to sit in this one:

Start 'Em 

Sit 'Em

The Browns will be able to attack this Denver defense both on the ground and through the air. Expect Njoku and Cooper to play key roles on offense.  Kareem Hunt isn't going to rack up many yards, but I do believe that he will find the endzone for Cleveland. 

Denver will struggle today against this Browns defense. They have only been able to score off of miscues from their opponents and the Browns will limit those today. 

Don't expect anyone from this one to win you your Week 11 fantasy game. However, these guys will be good foundational pieces for you this week and will help pull your team to victory.
