Jarvis Landry Fantasy

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry revealed to reporters on Thursday that he is playing through a broken rib. The Cleveland wideout took a big hit during his team's Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts and had to crawl off the field. He wound up missing just five plays in the eventual win. Landry is admittedly in pain but he is not expected to miss any games at this point, although he may practice sparingly going forward. Even before the rib injury, Landry was off to an extremely slow start in 2020. With a cracked rib now affecting him, it is hard to be bullish on his fantasy prospects going forward. Landry will presumably be in uniform when the Browns take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7 but he is not a recommended play as anything more than a flex.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry has struggled to produce this season in a run-first offense under first-year head coach Kevin Stefanski. Landry has drawn just 33 targets through the first six games, putting him on pace to set a career-low in that category in 2020. He draws a good matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 7, but volume concerns remain. Cleveland is installed as three-point road favorites this weekend and should be able to run successfully against a Cincy defense that has struggled to stop the run this season. Fantasy gamers can use Landry as a flex option but don't hesitate to bench him if there is a better option sitting on your bench.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught three of his five targets for 40 yards in a 38-7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Despite the slow outing, Landry wound up leading all Cleveland wide receivers in the blowout loss to their division rivals. It has been a slow season for Landry, who is not seeing the volume that he has been accustomed to throughout his career. Now a weak WR4 for fantasy purposes, he will look to bounce back in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road.
