During Fantasy Football Championship week, managers must find every possible advantage to gain an advantage in their lineups. One of the best (and most underrated) places to look for that advantage is on defense – and the Miami Dolphins could be a potential league winner thanks to a relaxed game against the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns traded on Dorian Thompson-Robinson in Week 16, but the results weren’t much better than what they saw from behind center Jameis Winston, who scored a total of six points against an abysmal Cincinnati Bengals defense. DTR threw just 157, 0 TD and 2 INT and took five sacks with a QBR of 18.4. The Browns have announced their intention to start Thompson-Robinson again in Week 17, against a Dolphins defense that still has something to offer (and a few stars who can make it, like rookie LB Chop Robinson, who played in this one scored his sixth sack of the season). against Brock Purdy in Week 16).
