Trading away Amari Cooper opened up a huge workload for David Njoku, who delivered the most fantasy points of the week in Week 8 in the Browns’ loss to the Bengals. He remains an elite option going forward for as long as he gets so much attention in Cleveland’s passing attack. With all 32 teams […]

Remember back in Week 1, when McCaffrey was expected to play in the Monday Night Football season opener against the Jets?
