Jul 15, 2013

Browns QB Brandon Weeden was under siege from the moment Joe Banner took over as CEO and brought along friend Mike Lombardi as his top football lieutenant.

But when the transaction season ended, Weeden was still standing throughout OTAs and minicamps as the undisputed starter. Banner/Lombardi replaced Colt McCoy and Thad Lewis with Jason Campbell and Brian Hoyer. As a result, the QB roster was has been upgraded with legit NFL experience.

Fantasy Impact:

The article says don't be surprised if Hoyer passes Campbell for the QB2 spot, and it's also possible for the team to carry just Hoyer and Weeden at QB if Campbell falls to number-three. Coaches have always liked Hoyer's work ethic, the knock on him is he doesn't have the arm strength.

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.
