The Cleveland Browns, with all their weapons in the passing game, expect to see a lot of man coverage from the Tennessee Titans in their season opener. Odell Beckham is back from a hip injury. Jarvis Landry is still there. Tight end David Njoku and wide receiver Rashard Higgins shouldn't be overlooked. And with Antonio Callaway serving a suspension, they figure to get even more targets.

"I have full confidence in all our playmakers, our skill position guys that if they have one-on-ones, they should be licking their chops and they should all take that as disrespect because that's the type of team we have and we need to take advantage of," Mayfield said to Mark Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer. "It's going to be a matchup game...

"It's going to look like a lot of matchups that we can take advantage of, a numbers game."

That bodes well for the Browns. Beckham and Landry have proven to be tough covers from the moment they entered the league. (As you might have heard, they actually played at LSU together.) Their union could be one of the most formidable in the NFL. Adding to the intrigue of the opener is how few reps they shared with Mayfield last month.

The Browns QB dismissed the significance OBJ missing all four preseason games, citing the immediate chemistry he was able to develop with Landry last year and Beckham's enormous catch radius as an invaluable crutch.

"I didn't take a snap with Jarvis all last year during the preseason, so yes, it's probably pretty overblown," Mayfield said. "I always pride myself on being an accurate guy, but [Beckham] is kind of a security blanket if I do make a mistake. Just knowing what he can do to effect the defense, it helps us as an offense as a whole but also just to know that I have that threat at all times is great."
