Browns Not Naming Baker Mayfield The Starter Yet
6 years agoCleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson refused to name rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield the starter moving forward after he led the team to a comeback win -- and their first win since December of 2016 -- on Thursday night against the Jets. "I'd like to watch the tape," Jackson said. It's likely just lip service, and the Browns would be crazy not to stick with Mayfield in Week 4 against the Raiders, whether or not Tyrod Taylor is cleared from the concussion protocol. Mayfield is clearly the better option over Taylor and will elevate the fantasy ceiling of all of Cleveland's skill players on offense. However, don't be foolish to think that the 23-year-old rookie will suddenly be a QB1 in fantasy leagues.
