Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Tyler Huntley: Huntley is set up to start this Sunday with Tua Tagovailoa doubtful due to a hip injury.
When Tua has missed time, this offense has struggled to generate production.
With Tagovailoa off the field this season, Miami has averaged a league-low 4.3 yards per play and 0.89 points per drive.
Huntley made three starts earlier this season, closing those weeks QB20 (11.8 points), QB26 (6,5 points), and QB21 (9.5 points).
That leaves Huntley as a back-end QB2 for fantasy this week.
He did rush for 22.3 yards per game if you are looking to find a path to fantasy points.
The matchup is not daunting, but Huntley faced the Colts and Patriots as part of his sample earlier in the year.
Cleveland has only allowed a 61.6% completion rate (3rd), but they surrender splash plays when quarterbacks have connected.
The Browns allow 12.3 yards per completion (31st) and a 5.1% touchdown rate (24th).
They have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in three straight games.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Cleveland has named Thompson-Robinson the starter again this week despite having a shoulder issue that he picked up on Sunday.
Thompson-Robinson struggled again as a passer in Cincinnati, completing 58.8% of his passes (20-of-34) for 157 yards (4.6 Y/A) with 2 interceptions.
He is up to 180 career pass attempts, throwing for 3.9 yards per attempt with 1 touchdown and 9 interceptions.
He did run for 49 yards to offer some mobility, but Thompson-Robinson is a back-end QB2 for fantasy.
