WEEK 11 DFS LINEUPS:Y! cash | Y! GPP | DK cash | DK GPP | FD cash | FD GPPDraftKings Showdown Picks: Browns vs. SteelersCAPTAIN (1.5x points, 1.5x price): RB Kareem Hunt, Browns ($8,700)Hunt played more than half the Browns’ offensive snaps in his Cleveland debut, carrying the ball four times and receiving another nine targets. His workload should only rise, not fall, so I like the big-play explosiveness with double-digit touches at this price point.FLEX: RB James Conner, Steelers ($10,800)There would’ve been more fun things to do with this lineup if Conner (shoulder) was once again inactive, but alas, it looks like he’ll play. With him active, he’s easily the most trustworthy option in the Steelers’ offense, and it doesn’t feel like we can just totally fade Pittsburgh in this game.WEEK 11 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | KickerFLEX: RB Nick Chubb, Browns ($10,600)I’m hoping that the Hunt-Chubb combo will be one that just a few people go for, as most will choose only one. Chubb received 20 carries for 116 yards Sunday despite Hunt’s involvement last week, so nothing is stopping them from both having good fantasy games.FLEX: QB Baker Mayfield, Browns ($9,000)Instead of trying to decipher which aspect of the Cleveland passing game might click, we’ll just lock in Mayfield and ensure we have a piece of any passing action. With Hunt, Chubb and Mayfield, every Cleveland touchdown should go through us.WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight endFLEX: WR James Washington, Steelers ($5,600) Browns vs. Steelers is a game that could go any number of ways if played on a normal Sunday afternoon. Throw in the fact that it’s on Thursday Night Football and we might just have madness. Cleveland could win by 30. Pittsburgh could win by 30. It could be a tie. Putting together a DraftKings Showdown lineup for Thursday night presents us with that wide range of possibilities, so there’s some NFL DFS hair splitting to do.It starts with a combo of Cleveland running backs, Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb. We pair them with Baker Mayfield and the Browns D/ST as we put our hat in the Cleveland side of the ring. Pairing Cleveland with James Conner should get us most of the scoring action on Thursday night. Washington has put together two productive weeks in a row, and he might get the best matchups in the Cleveland secondary on Thursday as JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson are matched up with strong cornerbacks on the outside.FLEX: D/ST Cleveland Browns ($4,600)This is a weird price point. You could go with Browns TE Demetrius Harris if you prefer to not play the defense against Conner. But Conner can have a good game while Cleveland’s defense does, too, because Mason Rudolph should be prone to a few each of sacks and turnovers.
Here’s everything to know about betting on Steelers vs. Browns in Week 11, including updated odds, trends and our prediction for “Thursday Night Football.”MORE: Get the latest NFL odds & betting advice at Sportsbook ReviewBetting odds for ‘Thursday Night Football’Spread: Browns by 3Point total: 40.5Odds: Steelers -115, Browns +105The Browns are favored for the second consecutive game at home despite playing a team with a superior record. It wasn’t easy and it was ugly, but they came through in the Lake Erie Bowl against the Bills last week to earn this status against the Steelers. The Steelers, who escaped in two consecutive nail-biters in Heinz Field, have that bit of flukiness reflected here as mild underdogs because of not having home field.Steelers vs. Browns all-time seriesThe Steelers are now up 75-58-1 in the rivalry. Under coach Mike Tomlin, that record is 20-3-1. The Browns did tie in the season opener last season, but the winless streak is now at eight games in the series. The Browns last got wins in ’12 and ’14, but those were surrounded by 14 losses. However you slice it, Pittsburgh has dominated Cleveland of late at home or or away, since the reboot of the latter franchise.STABILITY VS INCOMPETENCEWhy the Steelers are the Steelers and the Browns are the BrownsThree trends to know— 61 percent of spread bettors like the Steelers. 68 percent of moneyline bettors like the Steelers. But the line went up a half-point in favor of the Browns.— The Steelers match their 5-4 record by going 5-3 against the spread this season with one push. They come in having won four consecutive games. twice as underdogs.— The Browns got a win and a push against the Bills by three points after both losing and failing to cover the spread in their previous four games.Three things to watchConner returnsThe Steelers will get back feature back James Conner after missing two games with a shoulder injury. Their running and short passing games have missed him as Jaylen Samuels and Trey Edmunds did limited damage in his place. The Browns have the No. 27 run defense in the NFL, so the Steelers won’t waste time in feeding their workhorse.Baker heating upMayfield has quietly been very good the past two weeks after his well-documented struggles. His best performance of the season came in ripping the Ravens in AFC North play. He made only one start against the Steelers last season, a 33-18 road loss in which he didn’t play well as a rookie. He’ll be pumped to make amends in prime time.That touch of MinkahDefensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick has balled out in seven games with the Steelers since being traded from the Dolphins. Fitzpatrick has 8 passes defended, 5 interceptions, a forced fumble and an INT return TD. He has had massive game-changing plays over the past three weeks. Mayfield has to be careful when throwing into the middle of the field or risk another sloppy, costly turnover game. Stat that mattersBrowns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., in his first 9 games with his new team, has 44 catches for 632 yards and a TD. It’s been disappointing for sure, but in 21 night games over his career, he’s racked up 126 catches for 1,812 yards and 14 TDs. His biggest game of the season came on Monday night against the Jets, with 6 catches for 161 yards and a TD. He can remember it’s prime time to play up this elite level.Steelers vs. Browns predictionThe Steelers survived the Colts and Rams, and the Browns, after blowing the Broncos game, looked more like they should have against the Bills. Their offense and defense come together with their best performance of the year for Freddie Kitchens, considering how much of nemesis the Steelers have been. Beckham and Jarvis Landry will end up helping Mayfield a lot more than JuJu Smith-Schuster and others help Rudolph in a matchup of tough pass defenses. Nick Chubb also will run better than Conner with a good second half.Browns 24, Steelers 20 The Steelers (5-4) and Browns (3-6) have plenty on the line during the AFC North rivals’ latest meeting on “Thursday Night Football” (8:20 p.m. ET, Fox, Amazon Prime Video, NFL Network). Pittsburgh is in current wild-card position for the AFC playoffs and only two games behind Baltimore for first place. Cleveland, two more games out, is playing only the second of six division games, already having won at Baltimore.The AFC is weak enough as a whole to think either team, coming off big home wins in Week 10, can use this Week 11 matchup as a springboard to finish the second half strong. Mason Rudolph hasn’t played great for the Steelers, but the defense is making enough big plays to win games. Baker Mayfield, his former Big 12 rival and fellow second-year QB, is starting to warm up a little after a brutal sophomore slump.
“When you get where you are going, don’t forget to turn back around,” Tagovailoa repeated. “And help the next one in line. Always stay humble and kind.”Nobody embodied that more than Tagovailoa during that three-year ride at Alabama. He can always look back with appreciation, and will be humble through the next phase. The best advice for everybody?Enjoy the next ride. The thrill of the NFL experience was too much to pass up.MORE: Tagovailoa declares for 2020 NFL DraftTagovailoa leaves a one-of-a-kind legacy that was as true to himself as the Hawaiian shirt he wore to the podium on Monday for the final verdict.”He’s probably had more of an impact on our program than any other player we’ve ever had,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said while introducing Tagovailoa.Remember, it was Saban’s decision to bench Jalen Hurts and put Tagovailoa in for the second half of the 2018 College Football Playoff title game that launched Tagovailoa’s icon status. He rallied the Crimson Tide from a 13-0 deficit and secured his place in college football lore with a second-and-26 walk-off touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith for a 26-23 victory.All that, before his first start. The next two years were a whirlwind in which Alabama’s offense, with Tagovailoa at the controls, scorched the SEC with a high-flying offense. At its peak, it was like watching a cheat code where other teams were powerless to stop Tagovailoa, a quarterback whose vision, precision and accuracy meshed with one of the greatest receiving corps of all time.Tagovailoa closed his career with 7,442 passing yards and 87 touchdowns to 11 interceptions, but injuries — and the fact that he rarely played past the third quarter — prevented him from piling up those other honors.Tagovailoa finished second in the 2018 Heisman Trophy voting. He suffered an ankle injury in the 2018 SEC championship game and watched Hurts lead the comeback. He lost duels to Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence in the College Football Playoff championship game and LSU’s Joe Burrow in a No. 1-vs.-No. 2 showdown. All of that made the decision difficult, and a return to college would have put him in that rarified class that includes Tennessee’s Peyton Manning, USC’s Matt Leinart and Florida’s Tim Tebow.Tagovailoa could have chased the Heisman like Manning, or another national championship like Leinart and Tebow. But those quarterbacks’ legacies haven’t changed over time, and it will be interesting to see how Tagovailoa’s legend grows with each passing season. Sure, it will come with questions. Would they have beat LSU had he stayed healthy? Would Alabama have won it his senior season? Is he the best player without a Heisman Trophy?MORE: Tagovailoa, the megastar who redefined Alabama’s dynastyThat’s bar-room chatter when the truth is he left the biggest impact on the Saban dynasty, and has bridged the BCS and Playoff eras. Tagovailoa likely will be on the fringe of some of those “greatest” conversations, and it’s not undeserved.In the era of the transfer portal, staying three years at the same school is basically finishing what you started. Tagovailoa will graduate and, other than another season of dicing up SEC defenses, there was nothing for him to prove. Why risk everything in terms of life-changing money the NFL will offer? Tagovailoa could be a top-five pick despite undergoing hip surgery for an injury that could have ended his career.This is just Tagovailoa making another high-percentage read. He might not be the No. 1 pick, but his is a play-making skill set that’s tantalizing enough to give him the chance to be a franchise quarterback. Burrow might go No. 1 in 2020. Lawrence will go No. 1 next season. Tagovailoa produced at the same level as both in college; if he stays healthy, a productive NFL career will follow.Tagovailoa ended all the speculation Monday, and he left by quoting country music superstar Tim McGraw out the door. Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa closed out a self-described “roller-coaster ride” by choosing to forgo his senior season to enter the 2020 NFL Draft.That was the last turn in what has been the most interesting career arc for a quarterback in recent memory. Tagovailoa could have kept that ride going for one more year and chased the next level of college football immortality like some of his predecessors. In the end, there was nothing left to prove on the college level.

MORE: ‘Change starts with us,’ Eagles owner says Prescott commented on the situation with an Instagram post Wednesday that started: “As a black multiracial American, I am disgusted and unsettled!”Prescott backed those protesting but does not believe looting or violence is the answer. “I have viewed these protests and riots in our streets as a form of strength and an attempt to show we as black people have rights that aren’t being perceived equally as our counterparts,” he said. View this post on Instagram “How can you claim to uphold the law when those within your own ranks don’t abide by it? You need to hold your own accountable!”Prescott said he is taking action with the donation and “will act alongside of all of you!”He added: “We will clean our streets and our communities not only of the looting and violence, but most importantly the racism, racial profiling and hate!” A post shared by Dak Prescott (@_4dak) on Jun 3, 2020 at 8:34am PDTPrescott also had something to say to the “men and women that police our streets.””I have the utmost respect for those of you with a passion for protecting and serving your communities. When you chose to wear the badge of a police officer, you pledged to PROTECT life and property through the enforcement of our laws and regulations,” he said. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is pledging $1 million to improve police training and address systemic racism through education and advocacy in the United States following the death of George Floyd. Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis last week, prompting demonstrations and riots across the United States and beyond.
