Browns sticking with Jameis Winston at QB

Tom Pelissero on X

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski says Jameis Winston remains the starting QB coming off the bye.

Related players: Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Fantasy Impact:

DTR has served as Winston’s backup over the last two games. Even with the Browns struggles this season, Stefanski doesn't seem to be heading toward making another change at QB to see what Thompson-Robinson could potentially do with the offense, according to the story. Winston has had his struggles at times, but there is fantasy upside potential for those planning to start Winston. He's best served as a QB2 option in superflex leagues.

Browns to stick with QB Jameis Winston

Pro Football Talk

Nov 04 · 12:01 PM EST

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters after the game that Jameis Winston remains the team’s starter.

Related players: Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Bailey Zappe

Fantasy Impact:

Winston finished the game 26-of-46 for 235 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. He was also sacked six times. All three of Winston’s interceptions came in Chargers territory, the story pointed out. The Browns have DTR and Zappe waiting in the wings, but neither would bring the upside Winston brings to the offense. Unfortunately with Winston, fantasy owners will get the downside too, much like in Week 9.

Browns QB Jameis Winston to start Week 8

The Cleveland Browns will start Jameis Winston, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

This is great news for fantasy as Winston is an immediate upgrade to the QB position, and we know he will sling the ball around the yard. While this doesn't put him in startable territory, it does boost the floor of David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore, and Cedric Tillman.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson (Achilles) out for season

Pro Football Talk

Oct 21 · 11:15 AM EDT

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s season appears to be over, but how long his recovery takes after Sunday’s Achilles injury remains to be seen.

Watson has a ruptured Achilles tendon and will undergo surgery soon, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.

Fantasy Impact:

What’s unclear is the nature of the surgery, with Watson considering both conventional surgery and a newer “speed bridge” procedure that can result in a faster return to action. That’s the surgery Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had last season, and he was able to resume practicing faster than most players with Achilles tears, the story went on to say. DTR took over for Watson but injured his finger, forcing Winston to come in and finish the game. X-rays were negative on the finger, according to reports. There seems to be a good chance Winston will take over as the Browns QB, however. It will be worth monitoring this situation as the week goes on.
