No. 4: WR Corey Coleman (CLE) $4,400 vs Baltimore

Every fantasy football player has been enamored by the return of Josh Gordon in Cleveland including myself. We seem to have forgotten about how talented Corey Coleman is as the number two option in Cleveland.

As always the quarterback position limits Coleman’s upside somewhat, but he has shown great chemistry with Deshone Kizer this season. Last week was Coleman’s best game piling up over 17 fantasy points. He looks to stay hot to end the season starting this week against Baltimore.

Coleman is particularly intriguing this week with top Baltimore corner Jimmy Smith is out for this game. His injury changes the entire defensive gameplan for the Ravens this weekend. Usually Smith is one-on-one with the opponents best receiver. With him out, Josh Gordon is going to need to be doubled most of the game.

Coleman is hot right now and is going to be faced up against the Ravens third string corner. His value is even more appealing knowing that he is better than anyone the Ravens have left to cover him. Look for Kizer to realize that Coleman has the miss-match in this one and exploit it often.

Coleman had a better game for daily fantasy football purposes than Gordon last week. I expect that to be true again here in Week 15. Both will play well, but Gordon is a much higher price. The Browns offense has too many playmakers for Baltimore to deal with and Coleman is going to be the beneficiary. Look for another game of 15-plus fantasy points for Coleman on DraftKings this weekend.
