Greg Little Fantasy: Why You Should Stay Away from the Browns WR

Greg Little of the Cleveland Browns has been getting some attention in Week 6 of fantasy football for a flex option.

The Browns travel to Oakland to face the Raiders. The question is: Should you start Little in your fantasy team?

No, no you shouldn’t.

Little has collected just 14 catches and 131 yards in four games played.

There are several reasons why you shouldn’t start Little in Week 6.

Cleveland will want to pound the ball at will against the Raiders' poor rush defense. Even though the pass defense is lousy for the Raiders, the Browns’ strength is on the ground. They don’t want to get out of their element.

Colt McCoy will be asked to manage the game, not win it. Expect Peyton Hillis to get a heavy dose of action in Oakland.

Both victories for the Browns have come when McCoy completes 22 or less passes. When he threw the ball 61 times against the Titans, the Browns realized that passing isn’t their strength. Running the ball needs to be priority No. 1 for the Browns in Oakland.

Also, Oakland is going to be playing for their late owner Al Davis. Last week was their first game without Davis on the road, but this week will be their first game at home.

The players will be playing with motivation, the crowd will be energized and the feeling around the Raiders organization will continue to be positive.

Oakland will provide a tough game for Cleveland. If the Browns win, they will use their ground game, not the passing game.

Little won’t be targeted enough to make him a valuable flex option. There are several other options I would use before Little.
