In fantasy football championship week, managers must find every edge possible to gain the advantage in their lineups. One of the best (and most underrated) places to look for that edge is on defense – and the Miami Dolphins could be a potential league winner thanks to a soft matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns beat Dorian Thompson-Robinson in Week 16, but the results weren’t much better than what they saw from Jameis Winston behind center, who held on for six total points against a terrible Cincinnati Bengals defense. DTR threw for just 157, 0 TD and 2 INT and picked up five sacks with a QBR of 18.4. The Browns announced their intention to start Thompson-Robinson again in Week 17, against a Dolphins defense that still has something to play for (and a few stars to do it, like rookie LB Chop Robinson who have been this season sixth sack against Brock Purdy in Week 16).
