The Cleveland Browns will face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. 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 18?
Thompson-Robinson was limited for a third consecutive day with a calf injury. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said both DTR and Bailey Zappe will play on Sunday, with the latter starting. Such is the nature of Week 18.

Should You Start or Sit Dorian Thompson-Robinson in Week 18?
“If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all.”
I was raised with that quote, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson is really pushing my limits. He leads the league in pass attempts (81) over the past two weeks, and leading a professional sport in anything that isn’t directly negative is kind of a good thing, isn’t it?
He weighed down Jerry Jeudy with targets over the weekend, and that is realistically all we are asking for. But, my goodness, has it been a struggle? He’s the first quarterback since Chris Simms (Weeks 14-15, 2005) to fail to throw a touchdown pass and fail to reach 175 passing yards while completing 20+ passes in consecutive games.
Reaching NFL history – it may not be positive, but at least it’s a fun note for a two-game stretch that has to be labeled as a disaster, even for a franchise that suffered through seven Deshaun Watson games this season.
