The Browns’ defense sparked a pivotal turnover day, forcing two fumbles against Minnesota as Shelby Harris and Isaiah Maguire stamped the edge. A late fourth-quarter sequence, started by a strip and reinforced by Alex Wright’s earlier pressure, shifted momentum and kept Cleveland ahead. With the offense needing to sustain drives, the Browns D/ST offers a risky yet enticing fantasy upside this week, especially against teams with shaky ball security.

Minnesota’s London test left the Vikings with a clear backfield question after Jordan Mason left the field with a leg issue late in the third quarter, moments after scoring. Zavier Scott stepped in during Mason’s absence, while Cam Akers supplied punch with a Wildcat TD pass to Josh Oliver and CJ Ham filled multiple roles on third downs. Cleveland used Njoku’s third‑quarter TD to grab the lead, but Minnesota’s depth could shape the next few games as Mason’s status remains uncertain.

Fantasy managers should track Mason’s health and Scott’s workload, while Akers’ versatility keeps his fantasy ceiling high if Mason misses more time. Ham’s dependable pass‑blocking and third‑down usage add a floor, and Njoku remains a reliable target for Cleveland as the offense schemes around its trusted playmakers.

Overall, London exposed Minnesota’s depth but also highlighted upside for multiple players if Mason sits, with Akers and Scott serving as plausible Week 6 keepers or DFS plays depending on Mason’s status.

London Week 5 kicks off with Minnesota at Cleveland in a high-stakes, early-morning MNF. Addison is a high-risk, high-reward play for the Vikings as OL issues threaten snaps, while Jefferson anchors the aerial attack. Mason remains a low-end RB2 despite a brutal matchup, and Hockenson sits as a risky TE play in a pass-first game plan. Browns’ upside comes through Jeudy and Njoku, with Bond stepping up if Tillman misses more time. Thielen sits as a potential fade; the slate centers on who can leverage volume in a London setting.

Across the matchup, the start/sit chart emphasizes volatility and upside: expect pass-heavy scripts, limited run-game efficiency, and a handful of upside plays for savvy fantasy managers. Use the tool to weigh Addison, Jeudy, Njoku, and Ford against the surrounding injury news and game tempo to set a smart Week 5 lineup.
