5. Tyler Eifert

The Cincinnati Bengals have done well this season and are currently leader the AFC North. One of the reasons Andy Dalton has found success is because of Tyler Eifert.

In six of 11 games so far this year, Eifert earned double-digit points in fantasy football, including 23 points against the Cleveland Browns back in Week 9. Well, the Bengals will be facing the Browns again in Week 13. The team is a fire dumpster fire on both offense and defense.

Eifert has 12 touchdowns on the season through Week 12. Essentially, he’s averaging one touchdown/game. He should have at least two touchdowns against the Browns. In Week 9 he scored three touchdowns on 53 yards. The Bengals passed for three and ran for one touchdown in that game, so if history is any indication, he should have another breakout game against the Browns in Week 13. With those three touchdowns and 53 yards, he earned a season-best 23 fantasy football points.
