Browns WR Andrew Hawkins to be game-time decision Thursday night
According to Cleveland Browns beat writer Nate Ulrich, WR Andrew Hawkins (thigh/knee) will be a game-time decision for the team's Thursday night game with the Cincinnati Bengals.Hawkins leads the team in receptions (39) and receiving yards (504). If he is unable to play, Taylor Gabriel and Miles Austin would see the bulk of the action at wide receiver.
Time is running out for the Andrew Hawkins show in Cleveland. One Josh Gordon will return to the Browns in Week 12 and despite all the politically correct talk coming out of Cleveland, he will immediately re-assume his role as the team's No. 1 receiver.With TE Jordan Cameron out this week and Gordon's return still a couple weeks away, Hawkins would figure to be the top targeted pass-catcher for the Browns yet again this week. The Bengals,however, allow the fifth fewest fantasy points to receivers. This makes Hawkins a fringe WR3 at best this week, if he does play.If he doesn't play, it could be a long night for anyone involved in the Browns passing game. The running back combo of Ben Tate and Terrance West are the only Browns fantasy players we'd consider using this week, as the Bengals do give up the eighth most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. They're both low-end RB2s.
