Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters after Sunday's win over the Jaguars that quarterback Joe Flacco will be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

Not a bad move as Flacco has keep the offense clicking and had a very good day in the big win over Jacksonville. Flacco went 26 of 45 for 311 yards with three touchdown passes in the 31-27 win. Cleveland now sits alone atop the AFC wild card standings at 8-5. FYI, Flacco is doing this at 38 years old. Unfortunately, the Browns have already played both games against the Ravens. However, Flacco will get to face one of his former teams when the Browns host the Jets in Week 17. The Browns finish with the Bears, Texans, Jets and Bengals. Two more wins should be enough to get Cleveland into the playoffs.

The Browns elevated QB Joe Flacco from the practice squad and waived QB PJ Walker.

The Browns have yet to name a starter for Sunday against the Jaguars -- Dorian Thompson-Robinson is working his way back from a concussion -- but the elevation and waiving of Walker seem to indicate Flacco may get his second straight start for the Browns. Flacco went 23/44 for 254 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Cleveland's 36-19 loss last week to the Rams. Flacco is QB21 on our board this week.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski tells reporters that Dorian Thompson-Robinson is out of the concussion protocol and he won't name a starter. Joe Flacco, obviously, would be the other option.

We should figure that Flacco gets the Week 14 start after how —relatively—well he moved the offense last week, but it looks like it's still up in the air as of Friday afternoon.

Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson remains in concussion protocol, Stefanski told reporters in his video conference on Monday. But Stefanski noted he wasn’t going to make any announcements about the team’s QB at this point.

Flacco could be in line to start again in Week 14 if DTR isn't ready to go. Flacco was elevated to the active roster to start Sunday’s loss to the Rams, finishing the contest 23-of-44 for 254 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. We may not find out the starter until later this week, however.

Browns’ QB Joe Flacco will start Sunday vs. the Rams.

We last saw Flacco in New York when he started four games for the Jets last season. He threw five touchdowns (four coming in one game), three interceptions and completed 57.6% of his pass attempts for 5.5 yards per attempt.
There should be a better option on your waiver wire, but he's not taking off with the ball, which adds a little bit of a fantasy floor for David Njoku and Amari Cooper.

With Browns’ QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson now in concussion protocol, Joe Flacco has been taking snaps as Cleveland’s QB1 in practice and could start Sunday vs. the Rams.

What a world. We last saw Flacco in New York when he started four games for the Jets last season. He threw five touchdowns (four coming in one game), three interceptions and completed 57.6% of his pass attempts for 5.5 yards per attempt.

The Browns (7-4) are fighting for a playoff spot and trying to find any real answer for their reeling offense. So, yes — full Allen Iverson voice — we’re talking about practice and specifically about the importance of maximizing their chances to build a strong game plan inside their temporary West Coast headquarters this week.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson had shown growth and an improved comfort level in Denver before suffering the concussion, but the Browns weren’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard. P.J. Walker did little in relief except turn it over and take a safety. And, frankly, the game was pretty much over by the time he could get loose. Nothing Stefanski has done or said indicates he wants to go back to Walker, but he might have to.

Flacco is the wild card. If DTR can't clear protocol, it's possible Flacco could get the start. But the bigger question is can the team get Flacco ready in time and can he quickly develop chemistry with the receivers. Flacco isn’t mobile, but he’s always had a big arm. The story said he was not in a training camp and had been at home in New Jersey awaiting the kind of call he received from the Browns. The story added Walker hasn’t been afraid to throw downfield, but he’s completing only 48.6 percent of his passes and has thrown five interceptions and just one touchdown. No matter who starts at this point, they aren't necessarily a great fantasy option in typical leagues. However in deeper, two QB or superflex leagues, there is always a need for a starting QB who may be on the waiver wire.

Head coach Robert Saleh said Mike White has "a lot of hurdles" to go through with scans this week to see how the ribs have healed, etc. If White can't play, Saleh confirms it would be Zach Wilson as the starter. (not Joe Flacco, etc.).

As expected, Zach Wilson proved to be a dramatic dropoff in talent from White in Week 15, but Garrett Wilson still produced 98 yards on nine targets (four receptions). Both passing touchdowns went to C.J. Uzomah which helped nobody in fantasy, but that feels like a fluke, as the tight end only ran ten routes on the day. Jets fantasy options will still be in consideration next week against the Jaguars.

With the Jets preparing for Mike White to start, coach Robert Saleh announces that Zach Wilson will be the backup QB. A promotion back to the game day roster.

The Jets offense has been better with White under center but the wins haven't necessarily come. The expectations are White will start this week in a nice matchup against the Lions, but Wilson does have the draft capital so it's not a surprise he's creeping back up the depth chart. White is also dealing with a rib injury. Wilson's climb could be more about Flacco struggling in relief of White this past week against the Bills.

Mike White is dealing with a rib injury after he was rocked throughout the Jets’ 20-12 loss at Buffalo, including being forced to leave twice because of a pair of particularly rough — but legal — hits. He went to the hospital after the game for precautionary exams, was cleared and flew home with the team.

Coach Robert Saleh said White’s rib injury will make him day to day, but he’s “hopeful” he’ll start Sunday against Detroit. White is planning to be under center with the Jets (7-6) trying to continue their playoff push.

“I’m going to prepare as such,” White said. “I feel like I can play. I feel like I’m ready to roll.”

White added from the story, “I feel good. I mean, I don’t feel like 100 bucks because I just played a football game. But, nah, I feel good.” Seems like White will be good to go for Week 15, but of course keep an eye on his practice status this week. He's got a potential high-scoring matchup with the Lions. He's played well since taking over for Wilson and has brought fantasy relevance to players like Wilson and Moore.
