Jarvis Landry Fantasy

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is not off to a very impressive start this season. The veteran slot receiver has just seven catches for 99 yards on 14 targets through two games. Landry is clearly behind friend and teammate Odell Beckham Jr in the target pecking order in this iteration of the Cleveland offense, which is an issue for a player who has long made his fantasy bones on extreme volume. In Week 3, Landry will take on the Los Angeles Rams and slot corner Nickell Robey-Coleman on Sunday night. Robey-Coleman is a solid slot corner who should be able to limit Landry this weekend. Treat Landry as a low-upside flex option for the Week 3 slate of games.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry was quiet in a 23-3 win over the New York Jets on Monday Night Football in Week 2. Landry caught three of his seven targets for 32 yards in the win. The veteran slot receiver's biggest contribution on the evening was a 25-yard gain on third-and-20 at the end of the second quarter. Of course, Odell Beckham Jr was tending to an injury on the sidelines when Landry made that catch. Beckham's presence in town is a concern for Landry, who has just seven catches for 99 yards through two games. In Freddie Kitchens' offense, Landry is not getting fed targets the way he has in the past. He is dropping into the WR4 range in fantasy and will be tough to trust in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry posted four receptions for 67 yards in his team's season opener against the Tennessee Titans last week. The veteran wideout will look to build upon those numbers in Week 2 when he takes on the New York Jets on Monday night. The Jets will mostly use slot corner Brian Poole to try to slow Landry. That is a matchup that Landry should be able to win as Poole has earned a 60.6 grade from Pro Football Focus since the beginning of the 2018 season. The Browns have issues along the offensive line, which may force them to call more short and intermediate passes in Week 2, the type of routes that Landry specializes in. That being said, Landry's usage with the Browns since Todd Haley was during last season has not been voluminous enough to trust him as anything more than a WR3 in PPR leagues and a weak flex in standard formats.
