Fantasy football: FanDuel NFL 2020 best lineup for Week 16

Wide Receiver: Jarvis Landry $6,500

On paper, it looks like the Cleveland Browns will focus on their running game against a paltry New York Jets team this week that’s no longer in the top spot to get Trevor Lawrence in the NFL Draft. The Jets came out the winner, but the narrative around them is that of losers. The Browns only need to score a couple of touchdowns, and this one should be a wrap.

However, the Browns now have a legitimate head coach. Kevin Stefanski knows this is more than just an easy win. With the Browns so close to the postseason (a win ends a 17-year drought with no playoff appearances), he needs to put them in position to gain some confidence. They need to get the passing game going.

Baker Mayfield has looked a lot better as of late, and Jarvis Landry is right at the front of reasons why. He’s had 15 points in three of the last four games. He got there against the Giants on Sunday Night Football thanks to a huge catch in the endzone. It kind of got forgotten thanks to a “doink” by Browns kicker Cody Parkey, but that’s hardly the point.

Landry is facing a Jets team that’s allowed an average of a touchdown per game to wide receivers. When it’s bad, it gets really bad (four touchdowns to wide receivers against the Chiefs, three to the Seahawks). Hopefully, that’s the situation when the Jets take on the Browns, and Landry can put up two scores of his own.
