The Cleveland Browns will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Is Dorian Thompson-Robinson Playing in Week 16?
Thompson-Robinson will be starting in place of Jameis Winston, who has benched during Week 15’s performance. Thompson-Robinson is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Dorian Thompson-Robinson in Week 16?
Dorian Thompson-Robinson got a chance to impress earlier this season, and…well, he failed.
Against the woeful Bengals defense, DTR completed just 11 of 24 passes for 82 yards and two interceptions. In that loss, he did pick up 44 yards on the ground, and if you’re going to be in any capacity on him in the rematch, his athleticism will have to factor in.
Cleveland’s offense will look very different from the overly aggressive stylings of Jameis Winston. While that might mean fewer turnovers, I expect fewer scoring chances, which drags down the projectable value of all involved.
