BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues
Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: After a dramatic comeback win at Tennessee that saw three touchdowns and 292 yards from the hands of Hoyer, the Browns host a middle-of-the-road Pittsburgh defense that gives up 229 yards per game on average. Three touchdowns in one game is definitely an outlier for Brian Hoyer, as he only had three on the season before this week.
Don’t expect a ton from him as far as TDs go, but I think he could pile up the yardage in this one, as I see this game turning into a shootout or at the very least a game where the Browns are playing catchup. The Browns have won both games where Hoyer has had 35+ passing attempts and 20+ completions. I think that the Browns are starting to notice the trend, and Hoyer will get a similar number of attempts this week. Hoyer is startable in all 2 QB leagues, and he’s worth streaming off the Week 6 waiver wire in 14+ standard leagues as well if you’re desperate to find some QB sleepers.
