A Fantasy Triangle isn't as dirty as it sounds. This week's concern is the Andy Dalton/BenJarvis Green-Ellis/ A.J. Green point distribution. After a Monday night beatdown in Baltimore, Cincy has a softer match-up this week against a Joe Haden-less Browns defense. Everyone in the continental U.S. knows that Cleveland has nothing resembling an offense, so we could be looking at a final score of 27-3. The biggest worry for Cincy fantasy starters (other than a helmet-cracking defensive struggle) is that the game gets so out of hand that Marvin Lewis starts sitting guys in the 4th quarter.
That being said, it's easy to love Green-Ellis this week, with average payouts going to Dalton and Green. For as impressive as Cleveland looked on defense last week, Joe Haden's absence will hit the Browns with a domino effect. A.J. Green won't get stuck in Shutdown City, but he could draw plenty of extra attention if Andrew Hawkins can't keep the secondary honest. Regardless, Green should nab his first TD of the season along with 70 yards receiving. Pencil in Andy Dandy for 2 TDs and 215 yards while we're at it. As for the Law Firm, expect him to top his healthy yardage total from Monday and add another TD. I'm tempted to mark him down for 2 TDs, but Cleveland should force a few FGs. Either way, expect fatal dosages of Green-Ellis in the second half.
Bottom line: Law Firm impresses, Andy Dandy puts up decent numbers, Green gets a TD on the board but stays quiet otherwise.
And with the first pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select...
