Best NFL DFS Picks for Sunday: Browns vs. Bengals- December 10 | 2022 NFL Regular Season
The Cleveland Browns square off against their AFC North division rival Cincinnati Bengals. The story of two teams heading in opposite directions, the Cincinnati Bengals gearing up for another playoff run and the Cleveland Browns trying to figure out life with Deshaun Watson under center.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $7, FanDuel $8.3K)
How do you go against Joe Cool in this spot? Couldn't be me. Burrow is a fascinating, under-the-radar play, and I'm not hearing Joe Burrow's name much this week. Joe Burrow could be in store for a ceiling performance with a healthy Ja'Marr Chase and a healthy Tee Higgins on the same football field.
Tournaments: Deshaun Watson, QB, Cleveland Browns (Draftkings $6.4, FanDuel $7K)
Deshaun Watson struggled mightily last week. Watson was throwing the ball low and into the turf, and it didn't appear that his body mechanics were off. The more he plays, the better he will get.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Nick Chubb, RB, Cleveland Browns (DraftKings $7.8, FanDuel $8.4K)
Nick Chubb is the chalk play on the slate. Chubb has only increased his workload throughout the 2022 season. With the Browns' passing attack a mess with Deshaun under center, look for them to rely on Nick Chubb until Watson can find his footing.
Tournament: Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $6.9K, FanDuel $8.5K)
Joe Mixon returns to action this week against a Browns defense that is as poor against the run as any team in the NFL. The question for DFS players is how much Mixon will play. Samaje Perine was terrific in Mixon's absence. Will he continue to get a lot of action? If so, will Mixon be more of a committee approach? Many questions, which may leave many DFS players wondering and not playing.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $7.9K, FanDuel $8.7K)
Ja'Marr Chase returned last week to action following his injury and shook off the rust. I would anticipate Ja'Marr Chase to perform significantly better this week. The Browns' secondary have no one that can stop Ja'Marr Chase.
Tournament: Amari Cooper, WR, Cleveland Browns (DraftKings $6.2K, FanDuel $7.3K)
Amari Cooper has had a strong 2022, but has certainly had its highs and lows. Cooper has one of the strangest Home vs. Road splits of any player in the NFL. Now Amari Cooper has to deal with a new QB under center and the saga around Deshaun Watson.
Amari Cooper will benefit from Deshaun Watson under center. Deshaun Watson looked shaky in his 2022 debut last week. Expect Watson to be improved Sunday, which will elevate the fantasy ceiling for Amari Cooper.
