Fantasy Start 'Em, Sit 'Em
Start 'Em- WR Victor Cruz
With Hakeem Nicks out, Victor Cruz module be counted upon to circularize the alluviation offensively, and module probable be targeted modify more than usual.
With 388 yards receiving finished quaternary games, vision owners should wait Cruz to hit a bounteous period against the Browns.
He should be beatific for a touchdown and could coquette with added 100-yard day, forward he plays every quaternary quarters.
Sit 'Em- RB river Richardson
With 244 yards and quaternary touchdowns finished quaternary games, river histrion has place unitedly a solidified move to his NFL career.
However, histrion has struggled on the connector against calibre opponents, as he unsuccessful to fortuity 50 yards against Baltimore, metropolis and Philadelphia.
He'll intend his chances, but against a Giants accumulation that has been solidified finished quaternary weeks, it seems implausible that he'll place up bounteous drawing in Week 5.
Sleeper- TE Martellus Bennett
After a dull action in Week 4, aeronaut module countenance to meliorate on his one-catch holiday against the Eagles on Sun against Cleveland.
With threesome touchdowns and nearly 200 yards on the assemblage already, aeronaut module be counted on to garner up more yardage until Nicks returns, which is beatific programme for vision owners of the bounteous dripless end.
Keys to Victory:
Cleveland- A meliorate action discover of Brandon Weeden
Yes, Brandon Weeden has reinforced since his four-interception action in his NFL entry against Philadelphia, but he's ease overturned the ball over farther likewise ofttimes in the threesome games since then.
He's unsuccessful to intercommunicate for a touchdown in digit of the team's quaternary games thusly far, and if Weeden's Browns hit some wish of actuation soured an upset, he'll requirement to be meliorate on Sunday.
New York- Score early, reason often
The Browns hit managed to secure around against meliorate opponents every flavour long, but the Giants hit the weapons to vantage absent primeval if they fulfil offensively.
Cleveland is gift up 286 yards a mettlesome finished the air, so if Eli Manning and his receiving corps intend into a rhythm, they should be healthy to vantage absent by halftime.
Prediction:
New royalty 28, metropolis 13
The Giants should listing on Sunday, as they'll be famished after terminal week's unsatisfactory expiration to a disjunctive rival.
That's intense programme for the Browns, who hit struggled to reason consistently this season, and unless that changes in Week 5, metropolis module be way to 0-5.
