The matchup between the Raiders and Browns sees two teams trying to come back from huge losses. While the Raiders would love to forget the beating they took from the Andy Dalton-led Carolina, the Browns are looking to bounce back after being torched by Malik Nabers. Although these aren’t the hottest offense in the league, there will be players in this matchup that are set to have good performances.

Start em’ Jerome Ford (Draft Kings Price 5.7K, FanDuel Price 6.4K)

Jerome Ford hasn’t cashed in as Cleveland might have expected him to at the beginning of the season. If there is any time to play Ford, though, it’s against a team that just let up 114 yards to Chuba Hubbard. This is looking like Ford’s best game script yet.

Start em’ Jakobi Meyers (Draft Kings Price 5.5K, FanDuel Price 5.4K)

The Raiders will have to play without their superstar wide receiver Davante Adams. This leaves a bunch of targets for Jakobi Meyers to soak up. On top of that, the Browns secondary is looking very susceptible to the pass, given what Malik Nabers did in week 3.

Start em’ Deshaun Watson (Draft Kings Price 5.4K, FanDuel Price 6.9K)

Although Watson has yet to impress this season, he is actually coming off of a decent game. In the loss to the Giants, Watson threw two TDs off of 196 yards in the air. Thanks to injury, Watson might not have Maxx Crosby chasing him in the backfield on Sunday.

Sit em’ Gardner Minshew (Draft Kings Price 5.2K, FanDuel Price 6.5K)

Sunday is looking like it will be a tough day for Minshew, who lost Davante Adams due to injury. The Browns also were projected to have one of the better defenses going into the season. Minshew will have a tough time escaping from the likes of Miles Garrett, and he doesn’t have much of a run game to turn to.

Sit em’ Zamir White (Draft Kings Price 5.3K, FanDuel Price 5.5K)

Running the football in Oakland has been a big struggle lately. Zamir White hasn’t ran for more than fifty yards in a single game this year. Considering that he is sharing many touched with Alexander Mattison, it’s hard to see a scenario where White has a big game.

Sit em’ Jerry Judy (Draft Kings Price 5.2K, FanDuel Price 5.7K)

Since leaving Denver, Jerry Judy hasn’t been able to match his former production. After the game versus New York, it’s clear that Watson’s favorite target is Amari Cooper. Given the fact that Watson can always just run the ball himself, it will be hard for Judy to get targets.

Amari Cooper (Draft Kings Price 6.3K, FanDuel Price 6.4K)

Cooper is coming off of a beautiful dual-touchdown game. The Raiders have also given 20+ points to every opponent this season (including 33 to the Carolina Panthers). If the Browns are destined to score lots this game, one can only imagine Coopers will be catching some of those touchdowns.

Total Apex Fade

Alexander Mattison (Draft Kings Price 5.2K, FanDuel Price 5.9K)

Mattison did once show glimpses of being capable of a RB 1 workload in Minnesota. The bottom line is, though, he isn’t getting that volume in Las Vegas. Mattison is relegated to a secondary option in a running back committee that is bad at running the football.
