Case Keenum Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

HOU QB Case Keenum will start Week 16; per Aaron Wilson.

HOU QB Case Keenum is expected to start Week 15; per Aaron Wilson.

Baker Mayfield has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals and Case Keenum is expected to draw the start. Mayfield is being shutdown for the last week of the season and will undergo surgery on his left shoulder immediately. The Browns have nothing left to play for and are tied to Mayfield for at least one more year so this decision makes a lot of sense. With Mayfield out, Keenum is expected to start this weekend and will be a cheaper option in DFS contests with little to no upside.

Case Keenum has been placed on the COVID list and Nick Mullens is now in line to start Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Browns are now down to their third string quarterback and are shorthanded across the board with 21 layers (at the time of writing) currently on the COVID list. Aside from Nick Chubb and Donovan Peoples-Jones it is probably best to avoid the Browns offense on Saturday.

Baker Mayfield has tested positive for COVID, Case Keenum is now in line to start Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Browns are one of the teams most affected by the recent COVID outbreak and have seen their depth depleted at multiple positions and now have lost their starting quarterback. Case Keenum has been a serviceable backup for Mayfield leading the Browns to a win over the Denver Broncos in Week 7 where he threw for 199 yards and one touchdown. It will still be difficult to trust Keenum without Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper (the two leading receivers in his last start) but Keenum can be considered this weekend on the Saturday slate.

Case Keenum will start for the Cleveland Browns on Thursday against the Denver Broncos as Baker Mayfield will be forced to miss the game with a left shoulder injury. Baker expressed his desire to be able to play through the injury earlier this week but the Sunday to Thursday turnaround was just too quick, he will focus on rehab in hopes that he will be able to play in Week 8. Keenum will draw the start against a good Broncos defense that seems motivated to bounce back after three straight losses. The Browns will also be without Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt and it is also looking like Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) and Jarvis Landry (would need to be activated to active roster off IR) will be game-time decisions. Keenum will need to be considered because it is a showdown slate Thursday, but this slate is getting uglier by the minute (and has the potential to get worse).

Haskins has been named the starting QB for the Redskins for the rest of the season. He went 15-22 for 144 yards and 0 TDs and INTs in his first career start, and he is not a viable fantasy option at this point.

The Redskins have not made it official, but it is reported that Haskins will get the start for the Redskins when they return from their bye week.

Keenum has been ruled out for Sunday, meaning Dwayne Haskins will get his first NFL start on Sunday. Unfortunately for Haskins, that start will come against a strong Bills' defense. The Redskins were hoping to not have to play Haskins yet, and his performance so far this season shows why: 12-22 passing, 140 yards and a 0-4 TD-INT ratio.

Keenum remains in the concussion protocol, but he could still start even if he isn't cleared until Saturday. Haskins would be in line to play if Keenum is out. Neither are good options against a tough Bills defense this week.
