Well, at least Browns HC Pat Shurmur didn’t beat around the bush. In his Monday press conference he said that neither Peyton Hillis (hamstring) nor Montario Hardesty (bad first name, calf) will play for Week 10. That leaves the extremely unimpressive Chris Ogbonnaya as the lead back again.

FANTASY FOOTBALL SPIN

The Browns may look to pick someone off the street because Ogbonnaya isn’t getting it done. He is averaging 2.71 yards per carry and cannot be trusted when it comes to blocking for Colt McCoy. He may be the only starting RB in the league that you can’t get excited about when he plays the Rams dreadful run defense. At best he is a low end flex and that is only because he is playing the Rams. In reality, he is best not even being considered.
