Browns QB Cody Kessler out of protocol

Oct 31, 2016

Josh McCown got another spin as the starting quarterback for the Browns in Week Eight after recovering from a broken collarbone at the same time that the Browns were without Cody Kessler due to a concussion.

McCown’s return to the lineup may have been a short one, however. Browns coach Hue Jackson said Monday that Kessler has been cleared to return to action after passing through the concussion protocol, which makes him an option to start against the Cowboys and Jackson said that decision will come after seeing the players in practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson said he thinks it's too early to talk about Kessler jumping right back into the starting QB spot. Sounds like Jackson wants to see him practice first.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
