The Browns on Saturday placed LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on IR with the neck injury that removed him from the Week 8 win over Baltimore. Owusu-Koramoah will be out at least through Week 13.
That's a long enough absence to make JOK droppable in a lot of IDP leagues -- especially with no guarantee he'll be ready for Week 14.
If you can afford to hold him, though, he'll remain a potential weekly top-12 LB when ready to return.
Cleveland will also miss LB Jordan Hicks this week, leaving Mohamoud Diabate as the lead LB.
He supplied a solid 9 tackles as the playing-time leader against the Ravens and looks like a decent LB3 against the Chargers.
The Week 10 bye for Cleveland hurts Diabate's value as a waiver pickup. But he'll get upside matchups with the Saints and Steelers after that.
If Hicks remains out come Week 11, Diabate will get more attractive as a fantasy option.
