Harrison, Cribbs score 5 TDs
On paper, it appeared to be the least appealing game of the weekend as the teams had combined for a 5-21 record entering the game.
In our weekly podcast (Fantasy Football Weekly) this morning, I named Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles as my running back stud of the week expecting him to have the biggest production of any skill player in this game.
Instead Charles, who had a big week (154 rushing yards and a touchdown) was outdone by two Browns' players including a Browns running back.
And that RB wasn't Chris Jennings, who had 73 rushing yards and a touchdown against Pittsburgh last week.
It was Browns running back Jerome Harrison, who set a franchise rushing record breaking Hall of Fame RB Jim Brown's record by rushing for 286 yards and three touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Josh Cribbs, who entered the game with six career kickoff return touchdowns, returned two kickoffs for scores and now is in sole possession of the NFL record. His kickoff returns today were for 100 yards and 103 yards, respectively.
With the exception of week four when Harrison rushed for 121 yards against the Bengals, Harrison did virtually nothing since. Until today, that is.
So, all the fantasy owners that added Harrison after his week four performance may have dropped him since. There is a good chance he's available in fantasy leagues now although that could quickly change.
If Harrison - not Jennings - is featured in week 16, he could have another big week as the Browns' opponent next week is Oakland, who has given up the most rushing touchdowns in the NFL.
