Winston's first start for the Browns was fantastic, a 27 for 41 passing, 334 yard, three touchdown performance in a surprising home upset of the Ravens . The following week, things didn't go so well against the Chargers, as Winston was 26 of 46 for 235 yards, with one touchdown pass and three interceptions. Can his play revert back to Week 8, when the former No.
1 overall pick played like the best of the best at the quarterback position? Winston will be focusing on three main receivers against the suspect Saints secondary: Jerry Jeudy , Cedric Tillman and tight end David Njoku . Jeudy has topped 70 yards receiving in both of Winston's starts, after having only done so twice in seven weeks previously. Since Amari Cooper was traded to Buffalo, Tillman has broken out, with 75 yards or more in each of the team's last three games and three total touchdowns in that time.
Njoku has at least seven targets in each of his last four games and has scored twice in that span. Cleveland's passing offense should be key in determining whether the Browns can pull off the minor road upset. See which team to pick here .
Why the Saints can cover If the Saints offense is to produce, it's likely running back Alvin Kamara who is behind the success. Last week against Atlanta, Kamara rushed for 55 yards and caught five passes for 54 yards. He also dropped what would have been a long touchdown to seal the game in the final minutes.
Thus far in 2024, Kamara has accounted for 1,136 total yards and seven touchdowns as the backbone of New Orleans' offense. The breakout star for the Saints in Week 10 was wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling , who caught three passes for 109 yards and two scores in the team's narrow victory. It was only his second game in New Orleans but the veteran immediately found chemistry with quarterback Derek Carr .
With the Saints' top two receivers, Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve, Valdes-Scantling should have more targets thrown his way again this week vs. Cleveland. See which team to pick here .
