Terrelle Pryor-Cleveland Browns

The Browns offensive options continue to diminish. They lost RG3 for the season in Week 1, and his backup Josh McCown was injured for the year in Week 2. This past week, they learned that Josh Gordon is checking into rehab, and Cleveland is planning on moving on without him. With all those losses, the Browns offense is seriously short-handed moving forward.

Coach Hue Jackson will have to be creative with the Cleveland attack the rest of this season, and one of the most versatile weapons is definitely Terrell Pryor. The former Raiders-QB and converted wide receiver was the focus of the Browns attack last week against the Dolphins. He should make a good play in fantasy football week 4 since he’s lined up for another heavy workload.

Last week, Pryor played both quarterback and receiver while adding in 21 rushing yards as well. He caught eight passes for 144 yards and completed three-of-five passes for 35 yards. Pryor rushed for a touchdown. He’s on one of my favorite WR sleepers this week since Washington is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing WR this season, the third-most to opposing RB, and the 11th most to opposing QB. Since Pryor will likely put up stats as a receiver, rusher, and passer again this week, I think he’s in for another monster week.
