Browns officially name Baker Mayfield starting QB

Sep 24, 2018

Browns coach Hue Jackson: "I informed the group this morning that we're going to start Baker Mayfield and Tyrod Taylor will be the backup if healthy."

Fantasy Impact:

Taylor wasn't at practice, according to reports today, because of a concussion, but the Browns were likely moving to Mayfield regardless as he led them to a come-from-behind win over the Jets last Thursday night.

Jets WR Jamison Crowder (groin) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Bills.

Fantasy Impact:

The Jets also activated rookie Denzel Mims off injured reserve, a good sign Crowder will not play. It will be Mims’ NFL debut after dealing with hamstring issues. Injuries have resulted in Crowder cooling off after a strong first three games he played with three 100-yard games.

Bills TE Dawson Knox tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play Sunday against the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bills also placed TEs Lee Smith, Tommy Sweeny and practice squad TE Nate Becker on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Tyler Kroft was actually away from the team for the birth of his daughter. Kroft will now take over for the time being as the starter while Knox recovers. Kroft is our No. 27 tight end for the week.

No new positive tests for the Raiders and Saints

The Raiders and Saints did not have any new positive cases from Friday’s round of COVID testing.

Fantasy Impact:

The Raiders-Buccaneers and Saints-Panthers games are both on track to be played Sunday. Vegas had the biggest scare after all five starting offensive linemen were sent home earlier this week, but things are trending back in the right direction. A reminder that this game is now a 4:05 kickoff after originally being the Sunday night game (Seahawks-Cardinals is now in that spot). Saints-Panthers is an early kickoff and a friendly reminder that neither Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) or Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) will play in that game.
