Joe Flacco

Joe Flacco

QB / Cleveland Browns
Browns' Joe Flacco reverts to practice squad; Week 14 starter to be determined

What it means:

The Cleveland Browns allowed quarterback Joe Flacco to revert back to the practice squad following the team's Week 13 game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Browns elevated Flacco from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game to become their starter for the weekend, but the veteran then reverted back to the practice squad following the game. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told media members Monday that the team has not officially decided on their starter for their upcoming Week 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson is still in the concussion protocol, but could return during the week. Flacco arguably looked like the most competent quarterback the Browns have started all year during the loss. He completed 23 of 44 passes for 254 yards, 2 touchdowns and an interception while taking 2 sacks. Having Flacco under center provided a much-needed boost to Elijah Moore, who could be in line for a big Week 14 if Flacco starts and Amari Cooper (concussion) sits.

Update: Amari Cooper (concussion) won't return in Week 13 for Cleveland

What it means:

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper will not return Sunday in the team's Week 13 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Cooper suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Sunday's contest, and he has been ruled out of action for the rest of the afternoon. Expect more work for Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman. Before exiting, Cooper had 3 catches on 5 targets for 34 yards, posting 4.9 FanDuel points.

Amari Cooper (head) questionable to return for Browns in Week 13

What it means:

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is considered questionable to return Sunday in the team's Week 13 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Cooper is being evaluated for a head injury after taking hard hit for the second quarter. He'll likely be checked for a concussion. As long as Cooper is unavailable, Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman should see more work. Before exiting, Cooper had 3 catches on 5 targets for 34 yards, posting 4.9 FanDuel points.

Kareem Hunt (groin) good to go for Browns in Week 13

What it means:

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt will play Sunday in the team's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Hunt missed Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury. However, he was able to get in a limitation session Thursday before practicing fully on Friday. Now, he doesn't carry any designation into Sunday's contest. Our models project Hunt for 51.3 rushing yardds, 7.1 receiving yards, 0.4 total touchdowns and 8.8 FanDuel points.

QB / Cleveland Browns
Joe Flacco starting for Cleveland in Week 13

What it means:

Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco will start Week 13's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Flacco was named Cleveland's backup quarterback earlier this week and is now expected to start in Week 13 after Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) was ruled out. Flacco will have Amari Cooper (ribs) to throw too, the start wide receiver said he will be available to face the Rams. The Browns are 3.5-point underdogs against Los Angeles in Week 13. Their implied team total of 18.50 points is the sixth-lowest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.

Amari Cooper

WR / Cleveland Browns
Cleveland's Amari Cooper (ribs) available in Week 13

What it means:

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs) will play in Week 13's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Cooper will be available on Sunday despite dealing with a ribs injury. In a matchup versus a Rams' team allowing 32.0 fantasy points allowed per game to receivers, our models project Cooper to score 10.0 FanDuel points. Cooper's projection includes 4.3 receptions for 63.6 yards on 7.7 targets.
