Week 14 Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming: Pick Up the Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals

Owned: ESPN 50.7%, Yahoo 31%
numberFire Projected Rank: 2nd

We're bending the rules slightly with this pick since the Bengals are owned in nearly 51% of ESPN leagues, but it's the playoffs and the Cincinnati is going up against the Cleveland Browns.

Fresh off a 32-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Bengals travel to Cleveland for a game that could see Robert Griffin III make his return to the lineup after being sidelined since Week 2 with a shoulder injury.

In Griffin's only start this year, he was woefully ineffective against the Eagles, throwing for 190 yards and 1 interception while taking 3 sacks.

The Browns have been a favorite target of ours for streaming defenses, as they're giving up the most points per game to opposing defenses in standard scoring leagues. Much of that has to do with their inability to protect the quarterback.

The Browns' offensive line has allowed the most sacks (45) and quarterback hits (104) of any team in the league.

In a game with a 43.5 over/under, the Bengals are listed as a six-point favorite, according to Vegas lines. Whether its Griffin or any other quarterback under center for the Browns, Cincinnati is our primary streaming option.
