Leading off Week 10 of the NFL season is the AFC North matchup between the winless Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens. Coming into the season, the AFC North was anticipated to be a very tough division, however the Ravens currently sit atop the division at 4–4, where a win against the Browns would continue their journey towards the playoffs.
The Cleveland Browns turn to Cody Kessler (30pts) under center while leading this anemic offense. Throwing the ball, Kessler targets WR Terelle Pryor Sr. (25pts) and TE Gary Barnidge (20pts). Although Barnidge has not continued his breakout season of last year, he continues to put up consistent numbers, however is hurt by the inconsistent play at quarterback for the Browns. Perhaps the most consistent aspect of the Browns offense is the running back duo of Isaiah Crowell (20pts) and Duke Johnson Jr. (25pts). Crowell sees the majority of the action on the ground while Johnson sees the majority of his action in the passing game. If you’re looking for value within the Browns offense, consider taking a flyer on WR Rashard Higgins (10pts) who could see increased attention if the Ravens look to shut down Pryor.
The Baltimore Ravens have veteran QB Joe Flacco (30pts) under center leading the dynamic offense. Through the air, Flacco has developed a quick rapport with speedster WR Mike Wallace (30pts) as well as Kamar Aiken (20pts) and TE Dennis Pitta (20pts). The strength for Wallace is his ability to take the top off the defense, so could potentially be a hit or miss candidate. The Ravens have faced some uncertainty with their running game this season, however Terrance West (25pts) has emerged as the lead back and has started to produce as such. Although he might be a little pricier than our typical value picks, consider selecting WR Steve Smith Sr. (15pts) as he played his first game after missing time due to injury last week against the Steelers, and has a far more favorable matchup this week.
