WR Start of the Week: Jarvis Landry, Cleveland Browns (vs. MIA)

The matchups will soon get easier for Cleveland’s offense as Jarvis Landry squares off against his former team this Sunday.

Landry’s four catches, seven targets and 43 yards last week were four-week lows for the slot receiver, but he extended his scoring streak to three consecutive games. Over the four-game stretch since Cleveland’s Week 7 bye, Landry has double-digit targets in three of four with a total of 40 targets, tied for the 12th-most during that stretch. Landry has converted that volume into a healthy 24/256/3 line over the past quarter season.

During that span, Landry has scored the seventh-most fantasy points (half-PPR scoring). On a per-game basis, he’s been 18th over that span, but the four matchups were against tough pass defenses—Patriots, Broncos, Bills and Steelers, respectively.

In Week 12, Landry will face the Dolphins, who have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Only the Saints (28.25) and Falcons (28.0) have a higher implied total than the Browns (27.5), based on Vegas odds for this week.

WR Sit of the Week: Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals (vs. PIT)

Even though he had a plus matchup against the Raiders, Tyler Boyd had his worst game of season in Week 11 with one catch on three targets for zero yards in addition to a 10-yard rush attempt.

The volume should be higher, but he gets a much more difficult matchup in Week 12 against division-rival Pittsburgh. Earlier this season with Andy Dalton under center, Boyd converted three-of-six targets for 33 yards against the Steelers. Boyd has just one touchdown this season (against Arizona in Week 5) and he has performed as fantasy’s WR44 season-to-date.

Pittsburgh ranks fourth in the NFL in sacks (34) and the Bengals offensive line is one of, if not the worst in the NFL. The Bengals have allowed the fourth-most sacks (36) this season. Lacking a big arm, Ryan Finley won’t have much time to get the ball out of his hands. No team has a lower implied total than the Bengals (16.25) this week, another factor that limits Boyd’s upside.
