Fantasy Football News

Minkah Fitzpatrick recorded just two assisted tackles in the Steelers' 21-7 loss to the Browns.

Fantasy Impact: With four interceptions in the previous three games and two touchdowns in the last two weeks, Fitzpatrick was bound to regress in some manner. However, today's game marks the first time he failed to record a solo tackle in his career and is his worst statistical game at this point in his young career. He and the Steelers will try to get back on track against the winless Bengals in Week 12.

Devin Bush logged two solo tackles, three assisted tackles, and one TFL, as the Steelers fell to the Browns, 21-7.

Fantasy Impact: After a fantastic start to the season, Bush has cooled considerably and hasn't hit double-digit scoring since Week 6. Perhaps a game against the lowly Bengals in Week 12 will kickstart a strong finish to the season for the rookie.

T.J. Watt registered four total tackles, one TFL, one sack, two QB hits, and pass breakup in a 21-7 loss to Cleveland.

Fantasy Impact: After a run of dominance by the Steelers' defense, they couldn't quite get to Baker Mayfield today. However, Watt did record the only sack against Mayfield and is approaching his career-high of 13 sacks set last year. He currently sits at 10.5 through 10 games and will try to add to that total against the Bengals after their extended break.

Myles Garrett finished tonight's 21-7 win over the Steelers with one solo tackle, three QB hits, and an ejection for clubbing Mason Rudolph in the head with a helmet in the closing moments of the game.

Fantasy Impact: Garrett's inexcusable behavior warrants a severe fine and suspension, and it will be interesting to see how the league handles this unprecedented case. It should be considered a miracle for the Browns and Garrett if he were to only miss one or two games.

Morgan Burnett exited tonight's game against the Steelers late in the second quarter and was quickly ruled out with an injury to his Achilles' tendon. He was playing well up until that point, with three solo tackles, two assisted tackles, one TFL, two pass breakups, and an INT.

Fantasy Impact: The Browns' defense took multiple hits today with Myles Garrett and Damarious Randall facing possible suspensions for their misdeeds against the Steelers. While the extent of Burnetts' injury is unknown, anytime a player goes down in a non-contact play does not bode well for the future.

Juston Burris logged four solo tackles, one assisted tackle, one QB hit, one pass defended, one INT, and a forced fumble on his lone sack, as the Browns came out on top, 21-7 against the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact: Burris' strip-sack didn't end up as a takeaway for the Browns' defense, but it did prevent the driving Steelers from picking up points in the waning moments of the second quarter. His late interception of Mason Rudolph in the fourth quarter also completely ended any hope for Pittsburgh to mount a comeback. With starting safeties Morgan Burnett suffering an Achilles' injury and Damarious Randall facing a possible suspension for his hit on Diontae Johnson, Burris will probably be thrust into action once again when the Browns take on the Dolphins.

Joe Schobert recorded seven solo tackles, three assisted tackles, two TFLs, one sack, two QB hits, four passes defended, and two INT, as the Browns won an ugly game against the Steelers, 21-7.

Fantasy Impact: Schobert's interceptions were just two of the four that the Cleveland defense forced from Mason Rudolph. His second one was especially important, as the Steelers were trying to mount a comeback in a one-possession game late in the fourth quarter, and his takeaway directly led to a score that essentially iced the game. Schobert and the Browns take on the Dolphins in a week and a half.

The Cleveland Browns defense played well in a 21-7 win over the Steelers in Week 11. Cleveland picked up four interceptions and four sacks in the win.

Fantasy Impact: It was a dominant performance by the Browns, although they may have to play without star pass rusher Myles Garrett for a while. Garrett was involved in an ugly brawl at the end of the game and is probably looking at a lengthy suspension. Cleveland's defense will be a top option against the Dolphins in Week 12.

Cleveland Browns kicker Austin Seibert had a forgettable day in a 21-7 win over the Steelers. Seibert missed both of his field-goal attempts in the win, although he was 3-for-3 on extra points.

Fantasy Impact: The first miss came on a bad snap and hold, so it is hard to blame Seibert for that one. The second miss came on a 50-yard attempt that wasn't even close. Seibert will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Dolphins.

Cleveland Browns tight end Stephen Carlson caught his lone target for an eight-yard touchdown in a 21-7 win over the Steelers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: That goes down as Carlson's first career catch and he made it a big one. The rookie will look for more in Week 12 against Miami.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Khadarel Hodge caught 1-of-2 targets for 41 yards in a 21-7 win over Pittsburgh in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Hodge got more playing time after the team cut Antonio Callaway earlier in the day. He surprisingly played over veteran Rashard Higgins. The Browns face Miami in Week 12.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught 4-of-7 targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in a 21-7 win over the Steelers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Landry got wide open in the end zone for a one-yard score, his third in his past three games. He will take on his old team in Week 12 when Cleveland faces the Dolphins.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught 4-of-10 balls for 60 yards in a 21-7 win over the Steelers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Beckham appeared to have a 43-yard touchdown at the end of the first drive but officials ruled that his knee was down right before the ball crossed the goal line. Beckham will be a solid WR1 in Week 12 against the Dolphins.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt carried the ball six times for 12 yards and caught 6-of-8 targets for 46 yards in a 21-7 win over the Steelers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Hunt has carved out a valuable pass-catching role in his two games with the Browns. He has become an interesting flex option in PPR formats and draws a fantastic Week 12 matchup against Miami.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 27 times for 92 yards in a 21-7 win over the Steelers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Chubb was unable to haul in his lone target. The second-year back became the first player to rush for 1,000 yards this season. He draws a mouth-watering matchup against the Dolphins in Week 12.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 17-of-32 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-7 win over the Steelers in Week 11. He also added a one-yard touchdown run.

Fantasy Impact: Mayfield is starting to round into shape after a rough start to the season. He is primed for another big game in Week 12 against the struggling Dolphins.

Free agent and former Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is visiting his former team on Friday, according to a report from NFL insider Ian Rapoport. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Eagles already have an effective running back duo in Jordan Howard and rookie Miles Sanders, so Ajayi's visit does not appear to make much sense on the surface. However, Howard suffered a shoulder injury during the team's Week 9 win over the Bears and has been limited this week in practice. It's possible that Howard's injury is more serious than originally thought, or it's not out of the question that the Eagles are considering using Sanders more as a wide receiver given the rookie's success catching the ball and the struggles of their receiving corps. In any event, more information should be available tomorrow.

Browns safety Damarious Randall was ejected from Thursday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers after delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit to Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson in the third quarter. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Thursday's game has been filled with injuries, and league officials were likely sensitive to the Randall hit after Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster left the game earlier in the night after receiving multiple hits to his head on the same play.

Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson left Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Browns for further evaluation after a helmet-to-helmet hit from safety Damarious Randall that resulted in Randall being ejected from the game. (Source: Nick Shook on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Johnson was down on the field and appeared to be bleeding from somewhere on his head as he made his way into the medical tent. He should be considered questionable to return until an official update is available.

Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) left Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Browns and will not return, the team announced on Twitter. (Source: Steelers PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Conner entered the game with a shoulder injury that had caused him to miss the team's last two games, and he was unable to complete the first half before being ruled out again. An update on his status should be available after the game, but he is done for the night after rushing five times for 10 yards and catching one pass for six yards.
