Week 17 Outlook
Availability
Morgan Burnett exited tonight's game against the Steelers late in the second quarter and was quickly ruled out with an injury to his Achilles' tendon. He was playing well up until that point, with three solo tackles, two assisted tackles, one TFL, two pass breakups, and an INT.
Fantasy Impact
The Browns' defense took multiple hits today with Myles Garrett and Damarious Randall facing possible suspensions for their misdeeds against the Steelers. While the extent of Burnetts' injury is unknown, anytime a player goes down in a non-contact play does not bode well for the future.
Cleveland Browns safety Morgan Burnett has been ruled out for the second consecutive week.
Fantasy Impact
Burnett's absence means three of the four members of the Browns starting secondary will miss their second contest in a row. Burnett's absence is welcomed news for owners of Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown, and Mark Andrews. They should all find more room to work with with Burnett sidelined. The early rule out in an early afternoon game gives IDP owners have a plethora of options to choose from this week.
