Fantasy Upside
Brock Osweiler has a chance to earn the starting job in Cleveland. Veteran lineman Joe Thomas revealed Osweiler is being groomed to be the starter, and he's been named the team's starter for their second preseason game. He has experience as a starting NFL quarterback, after leading the Texans last season. He has more experience than any other quarterback on the roster.
Fantasy Downside
While Osweiler does have experience, it's not good. He was awful for the Texans last season, and it made the Texans trade him away, along with a second-round pick just to not have him on their roster. Osweiler was one of the worst quarterbacks on the field last season, as he finished with more interceptions (16) than touchdowns (15) in 15 games.
Bottom Line
There's a strong chance Osweiler finishes as the team's starting quarterback, but if he does, he's not worth selecting in redraft. There's very little appeal to any quarterback in Cleveland at the moment, and Osweiler feels like the worst of them all.
