Fantasy Football Fallout: Stat Leaders From Browns Win Vs. Bengals
Joe Burrow threw for three TDs; Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt each had two
While the two teams themselves may not have been the most exciting, the reality is the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals have a lot to offer on the fantasy football field.
The two teams proved just that during the Browns’ 35-30 win on “Thursday Night Football.”
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow set a record as the first rookie since 1950 to throw 60-plus pass attempts without an interception, per NFL Research. Browns running back Nick Chubb (two touchdowns) also had an impressive day while teammate Odell Beckham Jr. caught his first touchdown of the season.
