Harrison Bryant is a backup tight end for the Cleveland Browns and it seems he might start the Week 8 game against the Cincinnati Bengals this Monday.
The Cleveland Browns have seen one of their worst starts this season and currently hold a record of 2-5. The Browns have lost back-to-back games in the last four weeks and would like to turn things up this Monday.
The Browns' offense is struggling with injuries, with starting TE David Njoku being ruled out due to an ankle injury. Pharaoh Brown is being evaluated for a concussion and TE Jesse James has already been placed on the injured reserve. This leaves Harrison Bryant the only active tight end on the Browns roster.
Trending
Bryant has played in all seven games this season and has recorded 14 catches on 21 targets for 114 yards and no touchdowns. He has mostly been seen in reserved roles during these seven games, but will now get an increased opportunity in the upcoming game.
Fantasy managers who have him on their roster are in luck and should immediately upgrade him to the playing roster. In his last game, he had just two receptions on two targets for 15 yards and no touchdown.
Bryant still has to make it to the endzone this season, and there is a high chance he will have more targets and might score one or two touchdowns.
As the Browns face the Bengals this week, Bryant will have an advantage with the Bengals defense allowing the 17th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight-ends. Bryant is TE1 for the upcoming game and deserves to be on your starting roster for Week 8.
