Fantasy football: FanDuel NFL 2020 best lineup for Week 13
By Nick Villano
Wide Receiver: A.J. Brown $8,200
A.J. Brown has quietly become one of the most reliable wide receivers in the NFL this season. Since returning from injury on October 13th, he’s had double-digit points in every game besides one. This is in an offense that is going all-in on Derrick Henry in the backfield. Brown still has 23 points despite Henry’s big day. There is enough to go around in this offense.
The Cleveland Browns have been lucky to face an extremely easy schedule as of late. The Titans are by the best team they’ve played in a month. They still allowed 96 yards and a touchdown receiving to Collin Johnson last week, who came into the game with 69 yards on the season. Teams can hurt the Browns through the air.
Cleveland allows close to 30 points per game to the wide receiver position. It might not sound like a lot, but it’s in the bottom half of teams in the league. Teams can throw on this team with anyone at quarterback. It’ll be much easier with a team that has a good quarterback wide receiver combo. That’s not exactly what we call Johnson-Mike Glennon.
The Browns will also be going all out to stop Henry. That is going to open up lanes for Brown over and over again. Brown has touchdowns in seven of the last eight games. He’s been able to hit paydirt with ease. With Henry always a threat, teams cannot afford to double team Brown. Then there’s Corey Davis, who has something of a career revival. There are enough weapons in Tennessee that they always know Brown will be open.
