4 years agoThe Cleveland Browns will be without four of their top wide receivers for their Week 16 matchup against the New York Jets. Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, KhaDarel Hodge and Donovan Peoples-Jones were all deemed high-risk close contacts to an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19 and have been placed on the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list. As such, none of them will be able to travel or take on the Jets on Sunday. As it stands, Cleveland's top receiver for Sunday will be former Detroit Lion Marvin Hall, with Ja'Marcus Bradley and Derrick Willies expected to be elevated from the practice squad. Look for the team to use more of running back Kareem Hunt and tight end David Njoku, both of whom can line up at receiver, in the passing game. Tight end Austin Hooper will also see more targets as a result. Fantasy gamers who were expecting to start quarterback Baker Mayfield in the championship round should be making alternate plans at this point.--Matt T - RotoBaller
