Browns QB Tyrod Taylor 'looked amazing' this offeason

Jul 05, 2018

Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show on Thursday, wide receiver Jarvis Landry was effusive in his praise of Tyrod Taylor.

“Amazing,” Landry said of how Taylor looked this offseason. “Amazing, man. His leadership, his arm, his accuracy and he’s ready, man. He’s the starting quarterback, and I’m sure that, obviously, the decision is up to Hue and the offensive staff, and stuff like that. But I’m sure they’ve been highly impressed with what he’s done through OTAs and minicamp.”

Fantasy Impact:

The writing continues to be on the wall that Taylor will not only open the year as the Browns' starting quarterback, but that he could have a prolonged stay in that position. Taylor finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in both 2015 and 2016, and appears undervalued as the No. 24 quarterback off the board in fantasy drafts. This is by far the best receiving group he has ever had.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
