Jacksonville @ Cleveland
Team Totals: Browns 18, Jaguars 15
As of late Friday, line movement strongly suggested Trevor Lawrence won’t face Cleveland, altogether unsurprising since Lawrence suffered a Week 13 high ankle sprain and would be playing on the road on a short week. More likely, 30-year-old journeyman C.J. Beathard will get the nod against a Browns defense allowing the NFL’s fifth-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.4) and a league-low 56% completion rate. Sans Christian Kirk (groin surgery, I.R.) and LT Walker Little (hamstring), Beathard has no business being in two-QB/Superflex lineups. The Browns’ D/ST is a piping-hot play. … Albeit in an extremely small sample, Beathard has by far targeted Evan Engram more than any other Jaguar. Yet no NFL defense has given up fewer fantasy tight end points than Cleveland. … Calvin Ridley feels like a hope-based WR2/3 play with Beathard at quarterback against one of the league’s top defenses in potentially inclement weather.
