Case Keenum to start for Cleveland...should render D. Johnson pretty much worthless for everyone who blew the waiver priority last night...ouch.

No Chubb,, no Hunt,, OBJ iffy,, Landry?? I dunno..and now Keenum?? Only way Cleveland scores 10+ points is if Denver forgets to show up

It all depends on if the OL is healthy now. Landry could play. The OT's have been hurt but if they are back they might try to run the ball quite a bit. Keenum is good enough to manage the game.

Browns injuries:
Starting QB
Top 2 RB's
Top 2 WR's
Starting OT's
Best LB
Starting DT's
#2 CB and all the CB's are injury prone

Well Keenum WAS good enough to manage a game, back in 2018, ironically, as a Bronco.
His last starting opportunity, with Washington, says otherwise. In 8 starts, the offense averaged 16 points a game, including one shut out, one 3 point game, a 9 point game and a 15 point game.
He hasn't had a start since, so it's tough to say what he will or won't do, it's just that the most recent data, combined with all the injuries to virtually all the starting skill position players, suggests that the Brownies are in for a LONG day

I feel you Shane. Packers have been banged up alot this year as well. Played our 3rd LT several games.
#1 LT
#1 OLB and now #2 is also hurt
#1 CB and #2 have missed multiple games
#1 C will miss more time
#2 WR on IR
#2 S out with concussion

absurd amounts of time missed by big players

But none of y'all have a coach that cries during his pressers. Or a season long injury to the win tracker.

I mean I wasn't expecting the Browns to put up big points even with a healthy squad so there's that but the Browns defense will have to step up in a big way or this could be 9-3

Well from the other POV, Denver is an absolute mess, highest paid defense in the league, especially in the secondary, and they couldn't stop a Raiders team that switched coaches in the middle of the week

Case Keenum to start for Cleveland

I will take the opposing view here.
Without looking at stats, i would label Keenum as a "poor man's" Alex Smith. Not flashy but moves the ball.

He is out of knees to bite. Put it back on the menu and you will start stacking wins.

True but as TREFF said in limited snaps and no real gametime it's hard to project how he will play. I mean as far as a backup he is one of the best but he should be prepared.

Yeah, that the thing, he is a competent QB, or at least used to be, and who knows, there could've been other factors in play as to why his Washington stint went so horribly wrong, because it did start out decent, 2 of his first 3 starts were impressive, stat wise.

I looked at who he had in Washington, maybe he just had nothing to work with, right? AP neared 1000 yards, Guice was around for most of his games, McLaurin was a rook, but he was there, and he had VD at TE..so he wasn't totally void of talent, but then you look at what he's stepping into tomorrow night, no Chubb, no Hunt, no OBJ, maybe no Landry, banged up tackles..it's possibly worse than what he had to work with in Washington.

I'd say a poor man's Alex Smith is pretty accurate representation of Keenum, especially the Keenum of today although, the kid was a major gunslinger coming out of college, all sorts of "career" NCAA records to his name, and he even missed most of his Junior season. And if he had some healthy skill position players maybe I'd have a little higher expectations of him. It's just hard to expect much.

Packers are signing Whitney Mercilus. To me this signals, either Z Smith wont be returning or Preston Smith is missing extensive time.

How aout the packers just get entirely new LB's? I mean they're halfway there already

 

[Shanemansj13]

What is my life coming to? I am starting fucking D’Ernest Johnson in 2 leagues

well the rest of your division is doing their best to at minimum hand the division title on a silver platter. Lions 0-fer, Vikes .500, Chicago .500 and already onto the rookie QB the they claimed they had no intentions of playing this year

 

[TREFF]

Coach Bruce Arians "laughed at the idea" of the Bucs potentially trading Ronald Jones.​

Jones is in the final year of his rookie contract and obviously has no future in the organization beyond this season, but he does represent experienced depth for a Bucs team looking to make another run at the Super Bowl. That's some value. But Jones' role has evaporated, functioning only as Leonard Fournette's breather back. Jones is averaging a mere five carries per game at 3.8 yards a pop. Jones would need a Fournette injury to be of any value in fantasy.


well the Rotoworld commentary dude has it backwards again..Arians didn't laugh as in it's dumb to think they'd trade him..he laughed because he knows he wouldn't find a trade partner that would give jack sqwat for him

Same in a few leagues where I have RB depth issues or bye week issues and I just need a guy that's going to get 10-15 touches, who cares what yds/TDs come with that, lol
