5-4 Cleveland at 5-4 New England Week 10

[BigKen]

Stevenson and Harris must find their marbles.....

They're both in the concussion protocol along with Gunner. Talk about head hunting.

Good news? If they are running drills, they are working their way through concussion protocols?

"Running backs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson and wide receiver/return man Gunner Olszewski remained in concussion protocol after being knocked out of Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers with head injuries. All three ran through conditioning drills on a separate field."

No status on whether or not Chubb has taken or passed any Covid tests.

Felton, Harris and Kelly also tested positive and they are also listed as "Out".

None of the four are allowed at the facility unless they test.

I'm sure that the bookmakers are know exactly what's happening. Browns +2.5 is still the spread.

Nick Chubb (COVID-19) was not at Browns' practice on Friday.​

Chubb has until Saturday at 4 pm to come off the Covid list. As a vaccinated player, he needs to negative tests 24 hours apart and reportedly has a chance to play. Chubb sets up as an RB1 if he is cleared for the game. He played well ahead of D'Ernest Johnson in Week 9. Johnson will be a high-end RB2 if Chubb is out. He lacks Chubb's breakaway speed but can deliver chunk gains with the best of them.

CLNS Media's Evan Lazar reports Rhamondre Stevenson (concussion) is expected to practice Friday and is "looking good" for Week 10 against the Browns.​

It's quite the turnaround from Thursday, when the rookie missed another practice and appeared unlikely to suit up this Sunday against Cleveland. Stevenson broke out last week against Carolina, leading the team with 62 yards on 10 rushes. He displayed his dual-threat potential with two catches for 44 yards against the Panthers. Stevenson could shape up as a low-end RB2 option if backfield mate Damien Harris (concussion) is unable to practice Friday and misses Week 10. Stevenson would likely handle early-down work and Branden Bolden -- who had ten touches last week -- would serve as New England's pass catching back.

NESN's Zack Cox said Jonnu Smith could be used as a running back in Week 10 against the Browns if Rhamondre Stevenson (concussion) and Damien Harris (concussion) are inactive.​

Cox suggested Smith -- who has ten rushing attempts with the Titans from 2018 to 2020 -- could get some backfield action if the Patriots are shorthanded against Cleveland. He's been used on a few jets sweeps in the Patriots offense through nine weeks -- none of which resulted in a gain of more than six yards. The Patriots are prone to backfield creativity as we saw in 2018 when Cordarrelle Patterson transitioned to running back for a few games while Sony Michel was sidelined with an injury. A few carries might make Smith fantasy viable in deep formats if Stevenson and Harris are out against the Browns. Stevenson is expected to practice Friday

thats true on all players until they rule them out

 

[molsaniceman]

Rhamondre Stevenson (concussion) remained sidelined for Friday's practice.​

Stevenson was initially expected to return to the field on Friday but was not able to go. With Damien Harris (concussion) also in the league's protocol, Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor are eyeing interim roles as RB3/4s against Cleveland's stout front-seven on Sunday. Bolden has even more upside in PPR leagues since he's registered 20 targets in place of James White since Week 4.

Chubb has until Saturday at 4 pm to come off the Covid list. As a vaccinated player, he needs to negative tests 24 hours apart and reportedly has a chance to play.

So I expect that he will get a test about...3:50 today and again at 3:50 tomorrow.

Looks like we won't see a whole lot of running this weekend.

Stevenson (concussion) wasn't seen during the media-access portion of Friday's practice,Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

It will probably be Brandon Bolden Day in a low-scoring game.

Sprinkle in some JJ Taylor and cough I read somewhere that Jonnu could run some.

My crystal ball shows 10 receptions for Bolden.

 

[BigKen]

If, and that's a big IF, Harris and Stevenson ever recover from their head wounds, Bolden will be the James White stand in for the rest of 2021.

Hold on to your jock Sunday. JJ Taylor will have 100+ yards rushing and once the Browns try to shut him down, Mac will throw for 250.

johnson ran for 165 yds vs denver the week both chubb and hunt were out
they have a good oline which also helps

You need to get that thing fixed...

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Fun fact;
The last time Cleveland won in New England, Bill Belichick was their Head Coach.
