Rashard Higgins, Wide Receiver

Rashard Higgins is under the radar for clear reasons. He hasn’t played much at all this year, which is unexpected following his successful 2018 campaign. Reports came out that stated he refused to go into the game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6 which hurt his stock but a game-winning touchdown in Week 10 catapulted it back up.

Truth is Higgins and Baker Mayfield have the best chemistry among the receiving corps of the Cleveland Browns — which is likely why Mayfield was looking his way on the winning pass.

Yes, the Browns have OBJ, who is highlighted later in this piece, but so far this season OBJ and Rashard Higgins have the same amount of touchdowns. Getting Higgins involved in the passing game will only help this team moving forward.

Kareem Hunt, Running Back

Kareem Hunt was involved last week as a runner, pass catcher, and even a blocker. Watching Hunt and Nick Chubb in the same backfield made me wish the Browns could keep both forever.

That tag team will keep teams on their heels as long as it lasts. If Hunt can get involved this week and give that one, two punch with him and Chubb like they did last week, the Browns will be able to utilize the play-action that makes them so dangerous.
