LB Nicholas Morrow

No team in the NFL uses more two and three tight end sets than the Cleveland Browns. And with Odell Beckham Jr. now out for the season due to an ACL injury, don’t be surprised if Cleveland uses even more multiple tight-end sets to help the run game.

With the Browns using several different heavy personnel sets, it will keep three linebackers on the field for the Raiders. That means we will see more Nicholas Morrow than usual and that hasn’t always been a good thing.

According to Pro Football Focus, Morrow has graded-out as a below-average linebacker this season against both the run and pass. Against Cleveland’s run-heavy team, they will need him to play above his head in order to slow down their offense.

If Morrow and the rest of the linebackers can perform well in this game, they will give themselves a great shot at stealing an ever-important AFC game. Keep an eye on these linebackers, specifically Morrow, as they will be the key to victory on Sunday.
