Hue Jackson: Kevin Hogan (ribs) "in mix to start at QB"
Coach Hue Jackson won't name a starter for Week 8 yet after benching DeShone Kizer for Cody Kessler on Sunday. Hogan is dealing with bruised ribs but he could start under center this weekend against the Vikings. It looks like all three have a shot - Jackson said as much - and we may not find out more until the Browns practice on Wednesday. Minnesota has limited opposing QBs to the fifth-fewest fantasy points this season while holding them to the ninth-lowest rating (83.0) and picking off the eighth-most passes (7). Kizer, the league-leader in interceptions (11), threw two on Sunday and Kessler added another in relief. Hogan tossed three picks himself in his lone start this season and has been picked off at least once in every game he's attempted more than 10 passes. With one of the best pass-blocking tackles, Joe Thomas, out for the year, the starter will probably face more pressure than normal. The Vikings will likely be a popular DFS option no matter which guy the Browns put under center.
Kenny Britt (knee) will be a game-time decision for Week 6
Britt suffered a mid-week setback to the groin injury that held him out of last week's game. He's performed poorly since joining the Browns, catching just 8-of-23 targets over four games. Perhaps he will come out motivated if he plays or maybe Kevin Hogan under center can help his bottom line, but he's far from reliable at this point. That said, it looks like he'd at least have a favorable matchup against Johnthan Banks, who's allowed the fifth-most yards per cover snap since he signed with the Texans three weeks ago (2.29, per PFF). Ricardo Louis would be the de facto number one receiver if Britt is out. He'll primarily go up against Jonathan Joseph, PFF's 61st cover corner. This cornerback group isn't anything to fear as their slot guy, Kareem Jackson, rounds out their top trio with PFF's 103rd cover grade. When in the slot this season, Jackson has led the league with 2.3 yards per cover snap (2.3) and he's second-worst in both passer rating (123.9) and cover snaps per reception (6.4). Rashard Higgins has been quiet for three weeks after blowing up for a 7/11/95/0 line but he could be a sneaky GPP gamble. The added risk there is his playing time, after topping 50 snaps for three straight games, Higgins only earned 37 last week against the Jets while newcomer Bryce Treggs beat him with 42. Tight end David Njoku has a team-high three touchdowns and two of them came from Kevin Hogan. There's some chemistry between the two and Houston has allowed the fourth-most yards to the position and eighth-most PPR points despite ranking sixth in TE DVOA. All of these solid matchups signal an opportunity for Hogan to beat his cheap salary. The Texans are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to QBs and Hogan comes with a decent floor boost from his running ability. In the lone game he received significant playing time in 2016, he ran for 104 yards and a score on seven attempts. In just one half against the Jets last week, he added 30 yards on four carries. He was also very efficient through the air, completing 16-of-19 passes for 194 yards and two scores. He won't exactly be sneaky though, we're projecting 10% ownership on DraftKings, the third-highest among QBs on the slate.
This Cheap Option Has a Ton of Upside
I think it's a great weekend to pay down at quarterback on DraftKings, and it could potentially help you fit in everything you want on FanDuel. This is the game of the weekend for me, and with everyone playing Watson (I'm playing him too) I think Hogan goes overlooked. Houston put J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus on IR earlier this week. This is a team that blitz's second most in the NFL, and will be without two of their best pass rushers. We saw the Browns run option plays in the second half against the Jets, and I think we see more designed run plays for Hogan against the Texans. He was 16 for 19 for 194 yards and two touchdowns in the second half of that Jets game, and the game script completely changed with him at quarterback. I'm hoping with Hogan at starting quarterback, we see a positive game script from the start of this game. If that happens, I expect this to be one of the highest scoring games on the weekend.
Kevin Hogan will start ahead of DeShone Kizer in Week 6
Coach Hue Jackson has decided to move Kizer, the league-leader in turnovers (11), to the bench this weekend when the Browns visit the Texans. Hogan came in for Kizer in the second half of their Week 5 game against the Jets and was impressive, completing 16-of-19 passes for 194 yards and two scores. He may have a better spot than it appears against the ailing Texans defense that will be without two of their best defensive players and pass-rushers, J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus. Houston currently ranks 11th in pass DVOA while they've allowed the sixth-most yards per attempt (7.9), seventh-most passing touchdowns (9), and tenth-best passer rating (97.5) through five weeks. Of course, Hogan won't have many weapons to work with on the Browns' thin offense. Kenny Britt may be inactive again, leaving Ricardo Louis, Rashard Higgins, Kasen Williams, and Bryce Treggs at receiver. Running back Duke Johnson caught a late touchdown from Hogan last week and continues to lead the team in receiving yards (270). Hogan has shown some chemistry with tight end David Njoku - they connected for a 3/3/48/1 line in the second half. Njoku has now caught two of his three touchdown balls from Hogan, nabbing one in each game the quarterback attempted at least 11 throws. The Texans defense ranks sixth in TE DVOA but they're allowing the fourth-most yards (72.8) and the eighth-most PPR points to the position (14.88 per game).
Browns may bench DeShone Kizer for Week 6
The league-leader in turnovers (11) was benched for the second half of Cleveland's Week 5 loss to the Jets. Coach Hue Jackson left it open for Kizer to remain in the backup role going forward, saying he'll evaluate tape this week in order to determine who will be their starting quarterback in Week 6. Kizer threw two interceptions in the red zone yesterday, which encouraged Jackson to put Kevin Hogan under center. He did well, completing 16-of-19 passes for 194 yards and two scores. He's now connected on 68.4% of his passes on the season for three touchdowns, two picks, and a 73.7 QBR. Usually when a coach says he'll take some time with a quarterback decision in this type of situation it means a change is coming. Hogan appears to be on track to get the nod against the Texans this weekend.
