Johnny Manziel

Johnny Manziel was held out of practice Tuesday with what Browns coach Mike Pettine called “a little elbow soreness” but not a major concern.

Pettine said Manziel should play Thursday night when the Browns open the preseason vs. the Redskins. Timing is everything for a quarterback trying to make up for lost time — all of his rookie season, basically — and Manziel needs to be healthy if he’s going to make any kind of real push in this camp. The Browns go to Rochester for two days of combined practices with the Bills Aug. 17-18 before the teams play an Aug. 20 preseason game.

Manziel wore a protective sleeve on his right arm Tuesday, and though he went through early drills he was a spectator later in practice. Pettine said Manziel’s issue is just “wear and tear” and that the only loss Tuesday was a day of reps.

Browns still see Josh McCown as QB starter

Browns coach Mike Pettine views veteran journeyman Josh McCown as the team’s projected starting quarterback, former first-round draft pick Johnny Manziel as the clear-cut No. 2 and converted wide receiver Terrelle Pryor as a former signal caller who might eventually moonlight at the position.

Atop the depth chart, it’s status quo at the game’s most important position. As the Browns wrapped up mandatory minicamp in mid-June and prepared for vacation, Pettine and new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo made it clear McCown was the favorite to start the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the New York Jets.

“I don’t think anything’s changed,” Pettine said. “The repetitions will be handled that way, with Josh as the one. Now I wouldn’t say I’m guaranteeing today that Josh McCown is going to be the starter against the Jets. A lot can happen in a preseason.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Pettine didn't rule out Manziel making a move, but did note there is a clear separation between McCown and Manziel right now. McCown is 31st on our QB rankings and isn't getting a lot of attention in drafts.

Texans QB Brian Hoyer offers HC Bill O'Brien the more known quantity after starting 14 games for the Cleveland Browns last season, but he finished the year with a 1-to-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio in his last four games.

Ryan Mallett offers more upside, but he remains a relative unknown with just 79 career passing attempts. Even if Hoyer begins the season as starter, he could at some point give way to Mallett, much like he did late last season with Johnny Manziel.

Tom Savage remains a developmental project who can bide his time behind the other two.

Fantasy Impact: 

Hoyer showed flashes, especially two years ago with the Browns before getting hurt, but last year struggled. If Hoyer wins the job he'll have a better running game to work with compared to Cleveland as Arian Foster is one of the top backs in the league. DeAndre Hopkins will be the featured target of the aerial attack. Cecil Shorts was limited by injuries and reduced opportunities in the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive youth movement, but he arrives as a versatile starting option. Third-round pick Jaelen Strong could carve out an early role as a possession receiver. Right now, the Texans QB starter only has streaming potential until we see more stability.

Browns Beat: Johnny Manziel looking like 'a fish out of water'

The job description for the Browns' quarterback is a modest one and must be embraced, not challenged. He must be willing to play within the structure of a conservative game plan. He must be content to “live for another down” and not try something daring to make a play by himself.

This is why the Browns signed Josh McCown, a 13-year NFL veteran who has played for six teams, and why McCown has been virtually anointed the starting quarterback without even the hint of a “competition” in training camp.

It is why Johnny Manziel – tortured enough by his own personal recovery from an unspecified substance abuse problem – is a fish out of water in his second season with the Browns.

Fantasy Impact: 

Owners should expect the McCown of 2014, not the one who played under Marc Trestman in Chicago. The Browns want him to be a game manager and that doesn't lend itself to fantasy production.
