DeShone Kizer

Browns were familiar with DeShone Kizer's migraine history

Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer's migraine history was known when the team drafted him, according to head coach Hue Jackson.

What It Means:

Kizer missed nearly two quarters of action against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2 due to a migraine. He had to be checked for a concussion, but was cleared and returned in the second half. Jackson described the headaches as "sporadic" and assured his team that there's no concern about Kizer's long-term health. The first-round pick completed 15-of-31 passes for 182 yards and 3 interceptions while adding 26 rushing yards on Sunday in the Browns' Week 2 loss to the Ravens. Kizer will be on the streaming radar for a Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Per numberFire Live, Kizer finished with -13.81 Net Expected Points in Week 2, meaning a league average quarterback would have scored 13.81 more points than he did if put in similar situations. His 4.9 FanDuel points fell well short of what our models expected (13.7).
