Cody Kessler opens camp as Browns' starting quarterback

Coach Hue Jackson said Cleveland Browns quarterback Cody Kessler will take the first snaps under center when the Browns open training camp, said head coach Hue Jackson.

What It Means:

"He deserves a chance to walk out there first," Jackson stated. This should be a fluid competition throughout the preseason, so don't be surprised if rookie DeShone Kizer and Brock Osweiler wind up seeing some first-team reps as well at some point.

numberFire's models rank Kessler as the 31st fantasy option under center entering the 2017 season. We project him to throw for 3,271.1 passing yards with 17.88 touchdowns and 15.40 interceptions over the course of the year.
