Receiving: 8 / 148 / 0 on 13 targets
Massaquoi showed an easy chemistry with Derek Anderson, with whom he's been taking second team reps during the first month of the season. He made tough catches in tight coverage and regularly was able to gain separation from defensive backs. He was targeted on a variety of routes, deep and underneath, and showed impressive hands and concentration when competing for tough catches.
Receiving: 1 / 16 / 0 on 6 targets
It's tough to say anything good about a Cleveland receiver in this game, but at least Massaquoi caught one! He was definitely Anderson's favored receiver, which isn't saying much. Massaquoi dropped a few passes, which was a major problem for him in college at Georgia.
Receiving: 5 / 83 / 0 on 10 targets
Massaquoi dropped a number of catchable balls, but was Derek Anderson's favored receiver. He showed nice route running ability on deep timing routes and on a post route that went for 43 yards over the middle. He regularly got separation in one-on-one coverage with Steelers' cornerbacks. Massaquoi was also targeted on a deep sideline route in the end zone that was intercepted.
Receiving: 1 / 22 / 0 on 8 targets
Massaquoi had difficulty separating from man coverage and had trouble staying in sync with Derek Anderson, who was pressured and often had to throw the ball earlier than desired. The two seemed to have trouble connecting on deep routes, as Massaquoi was usually not where Anderson expected him to be on back shoulder passes and other timing routes. He also seems to prefer catching the ball against his body than snatching it out of the air. Massaquoi did show flashes of his breakout W4 performance at times, drawing an illegal contact penalty on a sideline route and making a catch on a deep in route.
Receiving: 2 / 28 / 0 on 6 targets
Massaquoi was again the Browns' most targeted wide receiver. However, he and Derek Anderson weren't on the same page on routes at times and he managed only one catch from Anderson and lost a fumble at the end of the play. Massaquoi caught Brady Quinn's only pass on a quick out late in the game for his other reception.
Rushing: 1 / -3 / 0
Receiving: 1 / 30 / 0 on 3 targets
Massaquoi had the Browns best gain on the night when he caught a quick slant from Quinn and turned it into a 30 yard gain, but otherwise he was quiet. Massaquoi did get a handoff from Josh Cribbs in the wildcat, but was easily stopped for a loss on the play. He shouldn't be rostered in anything except dynasty leagues.
Receiving: 5 / 115 / 1 on 12 targets
Massaquoi got open for a 59 yard score after the Lions bit on play action. He fought the ball, but made the catch. He later showed good timing with Brady Quinn on timing routes, including a long gain on a deep out pattern. During the second half, Massaquoi and Quinn struggled to continue their hot start. Massaquoi got separation on a couple of targets, but Quinn was inaccurate and the passes fell incomplete.
Receiving: 1 / 12 / 0 on 8 targets
Massaquoi made one strong catch on an underthrown ball on a stop route but wasn't able to get on the same page with Brady Quinn all day. Targeted eight times on a variety of routes, Massaquoi had deep sideline passes batted downs, balls thrown well behind him on medium length routes and passes thrown to his back shoulder when he was trying to gain separation deep.
Receiving: 2 / 24 / 1 on 7 targets
Massaquoi got wide open in the back of the end zone for Cleveland's first score of the game, coming on the team's opening drive. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't heard from again until late in the fourth quarter when he drew an illegal contact penalty near the end zone. He did eventually haul in a 13 yard reception, but that was the extent of his contribution.
Receiving: 1 / 37 / 0 on 5 targets
Mohamed Massaquoi had just one catch for 37 yards against the Steelers in Week 14, grabbing a skinny post pass in the second quarter and dashing down the seam into the Pittsburgh Red Zone. Massaquoi had several targets including one that was inside the Steelers' five yard line in the first quarter but the wind was too much for Brady Quinn to complete anything deep. Massaquoi is still the top wide receiver for the Browns but he remains a high risk / high reward fantasy play.
Receiving: 1 / 3 / 0 on 4 targets
Massaquoi was targeted deep on three occasions, but two were overthrown and one was picked in double coverage.
Receiving: 3 / 61 / 1 on 4 targets
Massaquoi wasn't targeted until the Browns were in the two minute offense in the first half. He turned a short pass into a 14-yard gain early in the series, then beat his coverage for a easy catch on a long sideline route for a touchdown just before halftime. He reeled in a pass thrown well behind him on a slant pattern then added good yards after the catch on his final reception of the game midway through the third quarter.
Receiving: 1 / 14 / 0 on 3 targets
Massaquoi was the only wide receiver targeted by Derek Anderson, as weather conditions and the success of the running game limited the need for a passing attack. He was targeted twice early, once on a sideline route in the end zone that was well overthrown and then on an in route that was underthrown and intercepted. His lone reception came on a key third and long late when Anderson hit him with a bullet on a slant route for a first down.
