What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Bracklevin and it's Friday, November 5th on to the matchups here.

For a week, nine fantasy football diving right in. Not going to skip a beat.

And we are going to talk about the Cleveland Browns facing the Cincinnati Bengals to start the show off today.

Interesting matchup. Obviously a little bit of a storyline heading into this one because Odell Beckham Jr. will not be a part of this contest.

Nor will he be a part of the Browns going forward. He is no longer with the team. He was released.

Well, he's got to go to waivers first. We'll see if he clears waivers. Beckham would like to clear waivers.

The Browns were kind of setting it up so that he didn't clear waivers. So we'll see what happens with Odell Beckham Jr.

Obviously we're waiting to see in terms of his fantasy value. You're not going to be able to use him this week, but maybe lands in a good spot.

Stay tuned there. Jarvis obviously gets a little bit of a boost because he's now the clear top target yet again.

And there's that, but he doesn't have a lot of upside. I really just think this is a Nick Chubb week.

Chubb has historically performed well against the Bengals. I know it's always a different defense. He's going up against.

But you know, the divisional rivalry is real here in five games against the Bengals 93.4 rushing yards 0.6 rushing scores.

He averages 18.9 PPR points per game. That is three points higher than his career average of 15.7. Of course, Joe Mixon will see a ton on the other side with Mixon.

The matchup is not exactly the best matchup Cleveland allowing five 3.58 yards per carry to opposing running backs, but still top 12 volume for Mixon.

Joe burrow is rolling. It's a much better matchup for the passing game than it is for the receiving game.

Burrow is in the top 12 this week. Denver and Dallas. Well, DAC is angling towards playing. I, you know, he's going to be back on the field.

CD Lamb is another story entirely. I don't have a practice report for today. He did pick up an ankle injury this week. And now is is while he didn't practice yesterday. So he may end up being listed as questionable for this contest.

He prepared for that one. Obviously you use him. If he's playing, we use Mari Cooper. I don't know if we'll see Michael Gallup this week, too, by the way.

I'm not overly bullish on him. But regardless on the other side, I say there's really no difference in my eyes between Melvin Gordon and Javante Williams. And in fact, I think Javante Williams has been out playing Melvin Gordon.

If you watch the darn games, but if you simply scout the box score, Gordon looked phenomenal last week, right? Cause he had two touchdowns and Williams had no touchdowns.

So there's that just be careful there. As long as Gordon plays OK, we're not going to have a breakout from Williams, but I'm still keeping Williams on roster. So I'm flexing both of those guys this week.

Moving on to Houston and Miami. And by the way, if you want to make start sit decisions and you want my input there, I give you my input on every single player in my rankings over at FTN fantasy.com. So make sure you go check those out.
