ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Cleveland Browns CB Joe Haden (oblique) will not play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. Haden suffered an oblique injury early in Wednesday's practice and sat out Thursday and Friday. He made the trip with the team and was hoping to play, but after not participating in pregame warmups, it just wasn't happening.
Joe Haden out for Sunday, boosting Dez Bryant’s fantasy value
Joe Haden will not suit up this week after suffering an oblique injury in practice. We break down the fantasy implications.
David Richard-US PRESSWIRE
Haden already missed four games this season with a suspension.
Fantasy Impact: Huge. The Browns’ defense just isn’t the same without their shutdown corner, and were consistently torched in the four games Haden sat out.
The biggest benefactors here will be Dez Bryant owners, but Miles Austin should also see a nice boost. Start both guys with confidence this week.
