Denver Broncos-Cleveland Browns: Fantasy Predictions

On only three days rest the Denver Broncos are headed to Cleveland for what should be an offensive battle. Denver is coming off a loss to Miami while Cleveland is coming off an upset win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Denver will have several offensive weapons back including Tony Scheffler, Selvin Young, and Brandon Stokley. This past week the Broncos put two running backs on injured reserve—Michael Pittman and Andre Hall. With these two injuries P.J. Pope was signed from the Practice Squad. Ryan Torain will start while splitting carries with Peyton Hillis and Selvin Young (who missed the past three weeks with a groin injury).
