4 years agoThe Cleveland Browns Defense will avoid facing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a Week 17 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team has decided to rest their veteran quarterback and will instead turn to Mason Rudolph under center. Rudolph has not been particularly effective in his limited time as an NFL quarterback, posting 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions to go along with just a 36.8 QBR in 10 games in 2019. Cleveland's defense has been among the league leaders in takeaways this season and finds itself in an excellent spot for Week 17 as the Steelers could struggle to move the ball on offense with Rudolph at the helm. Treat them as a top-five fantasy defense in Week 17.--Matt T - RotoBaller
