![]() One of the most useful tools available to the well-prepared fantasy drafter is to break down the strength of schedule for each position. There is certainly no shortage of analytics and data available to fantasy football enthusiasts. I've played high stakes since it's inception and have enjoyed Top 10 finishes in both NFFC and FFPC as well as an RTSports Overall Championship. I was also featured as a Dynasty "Greats of the Game" by DLF and FBG. ![]() You may remember me from the Red vs Blue high stakes fantasy Podcast. A long-time high-stakes competitor and ranked #50 in the Fantasy Football World Rankings, I understand and teach bankroll management. I have several 5 figure finishes including winning a DraftKings Atlantis qualifier (valued at over $70,000) and multiple $30,000+ finishes in NFL and NBA. I contribute sports handicapping, dynasty rankings and NFL/NBA DFS advice and strategy on the FullTime Discord. I regularly appear on ESPN Radio, SiriusXM and FNTSY. Previously I had founded the Fantasy Players Association, an industry watchdog group dedicated to trabsparenct and player advocacy. I'm pretty chill with a wife (Erin), 2 teenage boys Simon & Elston), a dog (Revis) and a cat (Willow).Īs VP at Sports Illustrated, I helped built out SI Fantasy /Gambling and returned to rebuild FullTime Fantasy to continue hosting the Fantasy Football World Championships. You can follow their PFF Twitter account exclusively about the Browns. Thanks to Pro Football Focus for some of the neat stats they provided. We could see this change week-to-week, depending on who the opponent is. ![]() Similar to cornerback, the Browns kept their defensive back rotation thin - no snaps for Ibraheim Campbell or Kai Nacua.He ended up as the Browns' highest-graded defender on the day with an 85.2 grade. Although he only played 67% of the snaps, Derrick Kindred made his mark on the game, and it was more than just catching the interception.Per PFF, he was the team’s fourth-ranked defender with a grade of 78.1, and 49 of his 61 snaps were at the deep safety spot. However, there was also part of me that wanted to see Peppers be more involved near the line of scrimmage. I like the idea in a way, because it takes away the deep threat for Pittsburgh, and the rest of our defense appeared up to the task of playing physical football. We saw the footage over and over on how Jabrill Peppers was playing the deep free safety position 25-30 yards back.Cleveland only played three cornerbacks, and all of them were on the field most of the game.Ģ tackles, 1 assist (3 combined).Also, although Pittsburgh still scored, Boddy-Calhoun delivered an absolute lick to running back Le’Veon Bell down near the goal line. He also tipped the pass in the red zone that led to the interception for Derrick Kindred. On the flip side, Briean Boddy-Calhoun was great, allowing just 1 catch for 6 yards on the 3 times he was targeted.Taylor was graded a 32.8 by PFF, the worst among all Browns players. PFF says that Taylor was targeted 8 times and allowed 8 catches for 82 yards, 5 of which came against Brown. Jamar Taylor talked a big game, but I think everyone knew that nobody on our team (or many other teams, for that matter) would be able to stop Antonio Brown.The Browns utilized James Burgess on some 3rd-and-long passing situations, and he came away with a deflected pass.ġ tackle, 2 assists (3 combined).Still, despite all that, Schobert graded out as the team’s 5th best defender on the day (77.0) by PFF. Then, he was in coverage on both of TE Jesse James ’ touchdowns, but was all over him for the first one and then was just victimized by a great play call on the second one. He did a nice job tipping the pass that deflected right to WR Antonio Brown for a 50-yard gain. It’s a shame that Schobert’s work in coverage didn’t pay off.He led the team with 9 tackles, and I thought he did a good job finishing plays again. Stunningly, Schobert played the entire game. Before the game started, I predicted that we would end up seeing a lot of Joe Schobert, after thinking that middle linebacker would be a seldom-used position in this defense.In fact, he posted the higher run defense grade for interior defenders this week: Although he played only 17 snaps, Larry Ogunjobi received high praise from PFF for his exceptional run defense.When you consider the fact that QB DeShone Kizer was pressured 19 times in 41 dropbacks, that’s a huge difference. For the game in general, the Browns only pressured QB Ben Roethlisberger once in 37 dropbacks, per PFF.According to PFF, Nassib graded out to a 44.0, while Ogbah was just a 42.4 Except for the one sack he had, though, he and Emmanuel Ogbah were pretty ineffective. Carl Nassib got the start in place of Myles Garrett.
