The Cleveland Browns were embarrassed in Week 7, suffering a 24-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The problem? Not being able to run the ball. The had just 69 rushing yards on 30 carries in their worse offensive game of the season.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Ben Tate
Ben Tate gets the Raiders this week. Should fantasy owners plug him into their lineups?

They basically didn't show up and had been in the top-10 neighborhood for yards per carry before the aforementioned dud. Running back Ben Tate was on fire in his previous two games, totaling 202 rushing yards and two scores against the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers -- both were wins. In other words, Tate should get a pass for Week 7.
This week, the Browns get some good medicine for their ailments with the Oakland Raiders coming to town. They rank 29th in rushing yards allowed per game, 30th in fantasy points allowed per game to fantasy running backs and 25th in points allowed per game.
Fantasy impact: Tate should be in just all lineups. He has no competition for carries, should be able to approach the 100-yard mark and score.
