MATCHUP SUMMARY

The Justin Fields era will officially begin this week as the rookie out of Ohio State is set to make his first NFL start after the injury last week to Andy Dalton. He didn’t look great in relief of Dalton last week playing the entire second half completing just 6 of 13 passes for just 60 yards and an interception. He did rush 10 times for 31 yards and a fumble. This probably isn’t the best spot to get his first start as he is going up against a Browns defense led by Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney. The Bears will look to get Allen Robinson more involved. He has just 8 catches for 59 yards and one touchdown through two weeks.

The Browns (1-1) rebounded after their tough loss to the Chiefs in week 1 with a 31-21 home win over the Texans. Nick Chubb only had 11 rushes in the game but totaled 95 yards (8.6 per carry) and a touchdown. He makes for a nice play this week at $7,600 in a game the Browns should be playing from ahead and in a good game script. Jarvis Landry left last week’s game early due to an MCL injury and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Odell Beckham who missed the first two games with injury is trending towards playing in week 3 would provide us with a nice value play at $5,200.

THE DFS GEMS

Nick Chubb, CLE – $7,600 on DraftKings. Like I mentioned above in my write up I think this has the potential to be a great game script for the Browns running game starting with Nick Chubb. I think they get the lead and without Jarvis Landry and possibly OBJ bleed the clock using their powerful running game. I could see 100+ yards and 2 touchdowns for Mr. Chubb here.

Cleveland Browns DST, – $3,200 on DraftKings. There probably won’t be many times this year that we recommend a defense as a DFS gem play for the week but this week the Browns are in a nice spot against rookie Justin Fields making his first NFL start on the road. There should be plenty of opportunities for turnovers, sacks and possibly a defensive touchdown.
