Brock Osweiler will start Browns' second preseason game

Cleveland Browns quarterback Brock Osweiler will start the team's second preseason game.

What It Means:

It's an expected decision despite Osweiler's poor showing in the preseason opener. Rookie DeShone Kizer will be the second quarterback through the rotation and remains in the mix for Cleveland's Week 1 job. Whoever starts the third preseason game will begin the year as the starter.

Among the 39 quarterbacks to pick up at least 100 drop backs in 2016, Osweiler's was seventh-worst in Passing Net Expected Points per drop back. numberFire's models currently project Cody Kessler as the starter for 2017, expecting him to account for 3,271.1 passing yards, 17.88 touchdowns, and 15.4 interceptions on 494 attempts – the 31st-most fantasy points among quarterbacks in our rankings. Even if Osweiler wins, this won't change much.
