Cleveland Browns QB Cody Kessler will be the fifth starting quarterback in as many games for the Browns. Going back to the last two weeks of last season, the Browns have started former QBs Johnny Manziel and Austin Davis and QBs Robert Griffin III (shoulder), Josh McCown (shoulder) and now Kessler. Cleveland is the second team since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to start five different quarterbacks in five straight games, according to Elias.

Fantasy Tip: This is just further proof that the Browns' quarterback position cannot be trusted. The lack of consistency will be a damper to Josh Gordon's fantasy value when he does return, and it hurts the rest of the team, too. Corey Coleman, Gary Barnidge, Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson are still startable, but they're unlikely to reach their ceiling with an unproven rookie quarterback at the helm.

Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III (shoulder) is now expected to be sidelined for 10 to 12 weeks with a fractured coracoid bone in his left shoulder, according to multiple sources.

Fantasy Tip: There's a good chance that Griffin could miss the remainder of the 2016 season. QB Josh McCown will serve as Cleveland's starting quarterback but is not an ideal fantasy option and should be viewed as a midrange QB2 at best.

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said the Browns will not trade for a quarterback despite QB Robert Griffin III (shoulder) being placed on the Reserve/Injured list. QB Josh McCown will start, with QB Cody Kessler likely serving as the backup. As stated earlier, Griffin will be reevaluated in three to four weeks.

Fantasy Tip: McCown held his own last year and looked Gary Barnidge's way frequently. The tight end's stock increases a little bit with McCown under center, but for the most part the Browns should function close to the same as with Griffin. McCown should not be viewed as a starting fantasy quarterback, however.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III (shoulder) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Sep. 12, with a fractured coracoid bone. He will not undergo surgery and will be reevaluated in three to four weeks.

Fantasy Tip: That certainly escalated quickly for Griffin and the Browns. Fortunately for Cleveland, they have a capable, veteran backup in Josh McCown. Gary Barndige may be the main beneficiary as he and McCown hooked up frequently last season. McCown doesn't have as much fantasy value as Griffin and is comfortably in the low-end QB2 conversation, but he's worth a pickup for Griffin owners.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III (shoulder) is in danger of missing Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.

Fantasy Tip: This is speculation on Cabot's part, but it makes sense considering Griffin's right arm was dangling by his side at the end of Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Josh McCown would be the next man up at would probably serve as a boost for the entire passing game, particularly Gary Barnidge. If RG3 is ruled out, consider McCown a midrange QB2.

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III (shoulder) will undergo an MRI on the sprained left shoulder he suffered in the Week 1 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. He admitted after the game he was in pain.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin initially said he expected to be fine for the Week 2 game, but now his status is in question until after his test. If he is forced to miss time it would be Josh McCown called into action. Either way, RG3 is only worth using in deeper fantasy leagues which use two starting quarterbacks.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III (shoulder) said he suffered a sprained shoulder during the team's Week 1 game but expects to be ready for Week 2.

Fantasy Tip: Owners will need to need to keep an eye on the situation to see if Griffin will be able to practice this week. He probably can be avoided in most leagues next week since he will be facing a strong Baltimore Ravens defense.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III could be more than a "short-term" option for the franchise, head of football operations Sashi Brown said Friday, Sept. 9.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin will try to resurrect his career with Cleveland, and while he has enough potential to stash as a QB2, he is a shot-in-the-dark play in Week 1 against Philadelphia.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III has not been ruled out as the long-term starting quarterback for the franchise, according to head of football operations Sashi Brown.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin may have taken the first step by impressing his new teammates enough to be named one of the team's captains, but it will ultimately be up his mastery of new head coach Hue Jackson's offense and play on the field that will determine whether or not he turns out to be more than a stop-gap. Jackson's solid track record with quarterbacks and a supporting cast built around Josh Gordon and rookie Corey Coleman are reasons why he may have a shot to stick. Still, he's a QB2 at best for now in fantasy.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III was sacked five times in a 30-13 preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Friday, Aug. 26. He completed eight of his 14 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown and ran once for four yards.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin was under pressure early and often. He has shown flashes of upside, but he is likely to remain hit and miss all season. He is a late-round lottery ticket.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III completed six of his eight passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns and ran three times for 36 yards in a 24-13 preseason loss to the Atlanta Falcons Thursday, Aug. 18.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin looked much better in his second preseason game, and with Hue Jackson as his head coach, he could put together a decent season. He is too risky to trust as your fantasy starter, but he should be owned as backup.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III has head coach Hue Jackson "tickled pink" with the possibility of what Griffin can do this season.

Fantasy Tip: Jackson can be tickled whatever color he wants to be, but Griffin is a risky draft choice. He has a subpar receiving corps, is in a new system and has a less-than-enviable injury history. Continue to view him as a backup fantasy quarterback.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III was named the starting quarterback Monday, Aug. 8, by head coach Hue Jackson.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin will be playing for his NFL livelihood this season as it could be his last real shot to distinguish himself as a starter. He has talent at running back and tight end to work with, but his receiving corps leaves much to be desired until Josh Gordon returns. RG III is a QB2 in fantasy that could be used as a bye-week starter.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III has improved every day and has "accepted every challenge" given to him, head coach Hue Jackson said Saturday, Aug. 6. Jackson also said he is "very close" to naming a starting quarterback.

Fantasy Tip: It seems unlikely Griffin can recapture the form he showed as a rookie, especially in Cleveland, but he is still worth grabbing as a mid-level QB2. There is a chance you could catch lightning in a bottle and have a strong backup or an attractive trade chip.

Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman was praised for his ability to find the end zone by offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, QB Josh McCown and QB Robert Griffin III.

Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman has shown good chemistry with QB Robert Griffin III during the early part of training camp. The two have connected on deep passes as well as in the red zone for touchdowns. Griffin and Coleman worked out together during the offseason.

Fantasy Tip: Coleman likely will be one of the starting receivers for the Browns this season and should receive plenty of targets. He should be considered a middle-round option that could be a starting candidate most weeks.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III has improved by "leaps and bounds" as a leader, partly due to veteran QB Josh McCown guiding him, head coach Hue Jackson said Tuesday, Aug. 2. "A lot of him getting better has to do with Josh McCown," Jackson said. "Josh McCown has really done a great job of spending time with him and mentoring him … to try and make the biggest jump that he can. Our quarterback room is a special place right now."

Fantasy Tip: Griffin has a long way to go before he is considered anything more than a backup fantasy option in most leagues. The only time RG3 should be starting is in fantasy formats which require two starting signal callers.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III received all of the snaps with the first-team offense during practice Friday, July 29. QB Josh McCown worked with the second-team offense during practice.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin appears to the clear favorite to win the starting quarterback job. He will not have a lot of weapons to work with in the passing game this season and should be seen as a low-end No. 2 quarterback in most leagues.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III won't be handed the starting job, although all signs point to him winning the gig. "No, it's still a ways away in my mind, but I feel good about where we are and I feel good about the process that we've been in for those guys," head coach Hue Jackson said. Griffin is trying to beat out veteran QB Josh McCown, as well as journeyman QB Austin Davis and rookie QB Cody Kessler.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin is 5-15 over his past 20 starts, and he has had difficulty staying healthy over his career. Even if he can win the starting job he is nothing more than a Top 25 fantasy option at his position in most formats.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III has worked hard on his pocket presence over the past several years, including during this spring under head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton. In spring practices he worked inside and out of the pocket, too.

Fantasy Tip: It remains to be seen if Griffin can transform himself into a pocket passer who occasionally runs. It would help tremendously if RG3 can get Josh Gordon back from the suspension, too. Regardless, he is only worth a look as a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III is likely to be the starter in 2016 as head coach Hue Jackson appears to be "all-in" on Griffin. Jackson and quarterback's coach Pep Hamilton have coached Griffin up on every aspect of the position, and Griffin has worked on sliding and throwing the ball away.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin appears to have a long leash in what is a make-or-break opportunity for him. He's a backup in fantasy, but he could be a bye-week replacement or injury fill-in.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III will have to earn the starting job during the offseason, training camp and the preseason. Beat writer Tony Grossi said in a radio interview Monday, June 27, that Griffin has been underwhelming. "He is learning a new offense. First of all he is healthy, he's very healthy. He looks physically like the old Robert Griffin in that he's moving great, he can zing the ball pretty well, but that's just the first step," Grossi said.

Fantasy Tip: It's still rather early, so don't get too down on RG3. He still has a good shot to win the starting job, and if he does he should be considered a Top 25 fantasy quarterback.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III is working on planting his back foot before throwing passes, and head coach Hue Jackson said Griffin is doing a good job of checking the ball down.

Fantasy Tip: All the talk about Griffin this offseason has been positive, but temper expectations. Draft him as a fantasy backup and hope he can come close to recapturing the form he displayed as a rookie.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III is still mastering the quarterback position, according to head coach Hue Jackson. "I'm not gonna say he's raw, but he is still developing," Jackson said. "And most young quarterbacks are still developing."

Fantasy Tip: Between his own development and the lack of offensive weapons around him in Cleveland, the deck is stacked against Griffin. He is worth a roll of the dice late in drafts, but don't count on him being a reliable contributor.

Cleveland Browns QBs Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown and Cody Kessler will be part of an open competition in training camp, according to head coach Hue Jackson. Jackson said he is not even close to naming a starting quarterback at the close of minicamp.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin still figures to be the favorite to start, but anything can happen between now and late August. As has been said before, though, none of Cleveland's quarterbacks are QB1 material.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III has been practicing his slides and throwing the ball away this offseason. Improving in those areas will enable the Browns to better keep positive downs and distances, according to Griffin. Griffin has also learned to take constructive criticism with head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton constantly adjusting his release point, stance, footwork and velocity.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin has had a knack for playing all-out, which has attributed to an extensive injury history already. Even if he can minimize mistakes and keep the Browns and himself on the field, he likely won't reach QB1 status. The tools and talent just aren't enough in Cleveland.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III has not officially been named the starting quarterback yet, and head coach Hue Jackson is not ready to name a starter at this point. "When the time is right, trust me, you guys will be the first to know," Jackson said. Jackson has seen improvements in Griffin, who he says is getting better every day, but added that the Browns need to make the right choice, not just the fast choice.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin is the favorite to start, unless he is injured during offseason activities or starts performing terribly. Griffin will only be worth starting in favorable matchups, though, assuming he wins the starting gig. He should not be drafted as a QB1.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III or any other player won't be named the starting quarterback until they earn it, according to head coach Hue Jackson, but Jackson said that he expects to name the Week 1 start well before the season opener.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin should open the year as the starter, and while he may never resemble the player that he was his rookie year, he is worth a late-round flier based on potential alone.

Cleveland Browns QB Cody Kessler will have a legitimate shot to beat out QB Robert Griffin III for the starting job in training camp and the preseason. "It's a competition. We'll let it play out," executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said Saturday, April 30.

Fantasy Tip: It's hard to imagine Kessler beating RG3, but it is Cleveland and anything is possible. Kessler would be nothing more than a low-end QB2 fantasy option if he does somehow win the starting job.

Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III will have to compete for the starting quarterback job during training camp even though the team traded down in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, according to vice president of football operations Sashi Brown. Head coach Hue Jackson said Griffin's presence on the team did not affect the trade.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin likely is the leading candidate for the starting job at this point but will have to compete for the job during training camp. Griffin will not have a lot of weapons to work with next season if he wins the job and likely will be a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

Free-agent QB Robert Griffin III (Redskins) signed a two-year deal with the Cleveland Browns Thursday, March 24.

Fantasy Tip: Head coach Hue Jackson told RG III to be ready to compete with a high draft pick at quarterback. Griffin had an awesome rookie season before injuries and a clash in philosophies derailed his career. What made him special was his straight-line speed, which he has been tentative to exhibit since he tore his ACL. What's clear is that he's motivated and still has something to offer fantasy owners if he can win the gig. He's a low-end QB2 in fantasy, and there isn't a lot in that area that he can't outperform.

Denver Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak said the Broncos are not in a rush to add another quarterback this offseason. Kubiak said QB Mark Sanchez will learn the team's offense quickly because of his familiarity with the verbiage during his days in college, and Sanchez has been at the team facility offseason since he signed. Free-agent QBs Robert Griffin III (Redskins) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) are options, as well as trading for San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, Houston Texans QB Brian Hoyer or Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon.

Fantasy Tip: Denver will likely bring in another QB either through the draft, in free agency or via trade to compete with Sanchez for the starting role. At this point, whoever is under center in Week 1 for the Broncos will surely be more of a fantasy backup.

Free-agent QB Robert Griffin III (Redskins) is not of interest to the San Francisco 49ers, and general manager Trent Baalke said the team hasn't had any contact with Griffin. However, Baalke indicated that stance could change.

Fantasy Tip: The Niners are currently set to retain Colin Kaepernick, although that could also change the closer we get to the draft. Griffin has suitors in the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Denver Broncos, and he'll likely be signed by someone to compete for a starting job. He still has the physical tools to succeed, but he should be taken as a fantasy backup until we see more.

Kubiak didn't say if Denver would visit with Griffin, but he said that the Broncos plan to be "patient" in filling out their quarterback depth chart. The New York Jets and Cleveland Browns are also interested in Griffin.

Fantasy Tip: RG3 could really benefit from a change of scenery. We already know he has the physical skills to succeed in the NFL after his big rookie season, but can he do it again with a new team? Denver's offense would fit his skill set, but as a fantasy owner you want to wait before investing too much. Griffin will be a QB2 next year with upside for more.

Free-agent QB Robert Griffin III (Redskins) could sign with the Cleveland Browns as soon as this week, according to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com. Canfora said there continues to be mounting buzz regarding Cleveland's intent to sign the quarterback.

Fantasy Tip: The Browns have definitely turned their attention away from Colin Kaepernick and have focused their eyes on Griffin. Unfortunately, Griffin wouldn't have many weapons at his disposal in Cleveland, and he has only played in 22 games the last two seasons. He would most likely start if he does sign, but he shouldn't be starting on any fantasy squads.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin's chances of playing in 2016 seem to hinge on the New York Jets, Browns and the Denver Broncos. We saw in Griffin's rookie year that he is capable of starting fantasy quarterback status, but he is far from that level now even if/when he does sign with a team.

The New York Jets' interest in free-agent QB Robert Griffin III appears legitimate and not just a leverage play against free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets). If the Jets sign Griffin, it'll be partly based on their confidence in offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, who is seen as a quarterback whisperer.

Fantasy Tip: Griffin is still young and has time to rebound following his fall from grace in Washington. The Jets have the weapons around him to be successful, but it remains a big if for fantasy owners. Griffin would be nothing more than an intriguing fantasy backup with upside.
