Stay away from Browns RBs in Week 12

With Montario Hardesty (calf) participating in practice on Friday, Cleveland Browns Head Coach Pat Shurmur said that no Browns RB is going to receive a full workload in Week 12 vs. Cincinnati. Although Chris Ogbonnaya seems to have come into his own over the last 2 weeks (5.1 yards per rush on 40 carries), he cannot be relied upon even as a RB2 this week. In addition, with it being Hardesty’s first game since late October, he is barely a flex option. And Peyton Hillis (hamstring) is even a game-time decision. While I don’t expect Hillis to play, this still adds more evidence that neither Ogbonnaya nor Hardesty are good fantasy options this week against a Bengals defense that gives up an NFL-least 3.4 yards per rush.
