According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Cleveland Browns will likely rest some starters in Week 18 if the Baltimore Ravens beat the Miami Dolphins to clinch the AFC North. This means that the Browns, who would be locked into the AFC's No. 5 seed, would have nothing to play for against the Cincinnati Bengals in the next weekend. Quarterback Joe Flacco, wide receiver Amari Cooper, and tight end David Njoku are expected to be held out of that game.
