Dorian Thompson-Robinson Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Thompson-Robinson missed all three practices last week due to a concussion. Unsurprisingly, he did not clear protocol in time for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson Fantasy Football Outlook
Thompson-Robinson was still in concussion protocol on Monday, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. As the Browns begin preparing for Week 14, their rookie quarterback hasn't been cleared to hit the field.
The good news for Thompson-Robinson and the Browns is that concussed players tend to make key strides during their second week of recovery. The rookie is far from a lock to play, but it also wouldn't be a surprise to see him make progress this week.
The Browns have struggled to perform this season without Deshaun Watson (shoulder) available. There isn't a huge drop-off from Thompson-Robinson to Flacco, but the former does have more familiarity with the system and its key players.
One player who significantly benefited from having Thompson-Robinson (and P.J. Walker) under center is David Njoku. From Weeks 7 through 12, he averaged 5.3 catches, 55 yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per game. His production took a significant step backward with Flacco under center.
Players like Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt also seemed to play better with the UCLA product under center. The same is true for veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper (head), though he's in concussion protocol and unlikely to suit up in Week 14.
Bottom line? The Browns can maximize their offensive output with the mobile and talented Thompson-Robinson at quarterback. If healthy this week, he'll start under center.
