Cardinals @ Browns

11/01/15  1pm ET (12 Cent)

Line: -4.5 Arizona
O/U: 46

Summary

                The Cards are heading to the dawg pound in the hopes of getting up to 6-2 and further outpacing their divisional rivals. The Cardinals have been playing very well this season, and are the favorites to win against the Browns. Vegas seems to think this game will be closer than I imagine. I'm bullish on the Cards line and think that needs to come up. The Browns have simply been mediocre this season and are 2-5. There is a small chance Manziel could see some playing time this week, but it is unlikely.

DFS Players To Consider
(at Draftkings prices)

Browns

Duke Johnson Jr. 4.2k - Flying under the radar, Duke Johnson Jr. has been putting up decent numbers very quietly. Johnson could be a sneaky value play for tournaments. 

Gary Barnidge 4.7k - Barnidge has been lighting it up for weeks. 4 weeks ago Barnidge was at 3.1k in value; so his value is starting to peak. Watch for Mccowns status, as Manziels primary targets could differ. A lot of people will be jumping on this bandwagon. 

Cardinals

Carson Palmer 7k - At 7k Palmer is starting to peak in price. Palmer is one of the safest bets thus far this season, with a high floor. Palmer is a safe play for cash games this week with upside potential.

Chris Johnson 4.6k - Chris Johnson will probably be heavily owned this week. The Browns have consistently allowed running backs to dash on them in back to back weeks. Johnson may be a chalk play this week for cash games, especially if this game is closer than expected in score. Johnson has high upside this week and a decent floor for his price. 

Larry Fitzgerald 7.7k - Fitz has had a monster start to the season, but it looks increasingly difficult to continue the brisk pace he started, especially with Floyd and Brown gobbling his passes. Draftkings also caught up with Fitz's pricing. I think Fitz is a fade for the price this week, but he does have a good matchup. 

M. Floyd 3.5k - A good flex play, Floyd has put up decent numbers the last couple weeks and has lots of upside if Brown does not play. Keep an eye on the injury reports. Even if Brown plays we may see increased targeting as they try and let him heal.
