Cleveland @ Cincinnati
Team Totals: Browns 26.75, Bengals 23.25
At increasing risk of an in-game benching for Case Keenum – whose position coach was current Browns HC Kevin Stefanski with 2017’s Vikings – Baker Mayfield sets up as a boom-bust two-QB-league option at Cincinnati, which has yielded top-12 scores to three of its last four quarterbacks faced. Yet Mayfield’s best fantasy outcome through six starts is QB16, and he has shown no visible signs of improvement in Cleveland’s revised offense. If anything, Mayfield has taken another step back. … Expect Stefanski to reimplement a run-based plan after the Browns trounced the Bengals for 215 rushing yards and three rushing TDs when these teams met in Week 2. Such an approach would favor Kareem Hunt, who has controlled a convincing edge in touches (38) and snaps (81) over D’Ernest Johnson (13, 39) and Dontrell Hilliard (4, 7) in two games since Nick Chubb (MCL, I.R.) went down.
