The Facts:
Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said he is contemplating replacing wide receiver Greg Little in the starting lineup. Little dropped a critical third-down pass before halftime in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bills. The play would have been a first down near midfield and extended the drive. "We can’t play a guy who’s going to drop the football," Shurmur said. "But we have a young roster." Little was among the league leaders in drops in 2011. He also turned a catch into an interception by letting the ball go off his hands in Cleveland's regular season opener. Shurmur also has an issue with Little post-catch antics that include elaborate dances and striking a pose like Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Benching Little may not be in the cards for the Browns this week thanks to a hamstring injury to Mohamed Massaquoi and a road trip to Baltimore to take on the Ravens on Thursday night. However unless you're stuck for options, fantasy owners should leave Little riding the pine until he gets the drops until control and is more consistent from week-to-week.
