The Los Angeles Chargers have been on quite a tear lately, finishing as a top-six defense in each of their past three games. While the Cleveland Browns are expected to play Josh Gordon, they still present a fantasy-friendly target for opposing defenses.
Four of the past five defenses to face the Browns have finished as a top-10 optio,n with the only exception being the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. Since rejoining the starting lineup following his Week 6 benching, DeShone Kizer has been sacked multiple times in three of five games. He's also committed at least one turnover in four of those contests.
On the other side, the Chargers continue to be one of the best at pressuring the quarterback, ranking fourth in sacks (32) while forcing the fifth-most turnovers (19).
Los Angeles is currently the biggest favorite this week (13.5 points) and the Browns' 14.50 implied team total is the lowest. In a game that we expect the Chargers to win going away, the Bolts make for a top streaming option.
