Dorian Thompson-Robinson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Cleveland Browns are making a change at quarterback heading into their Week 16 divisional contest against the Cincinnati Bengals and will go with Dorian Thompson-Robinson after benching Jameis Winston in the Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, according to league source. The Browns benched Winston after more turnover issues, as he tossed three interceptions and was pulled in the fourth quarter. Thompson-Robinson also threw a pick of his own against a tough Chiefs defense and finished 4-for-9 for 18 yards passing late in the game. The Browns will hope DTR can take better care of the football in a plus-plus matchup against a soft Bengals defense this weekend. It will be the 25-year-old's fourth NFL start. While the matchup is a nice one, fantasy managers shouldn't consider Thompson-Robinson as anything more than a low-end QB2 with a bit of upside in superflex leagues in Week 16.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed four of his nine passes for 18 yards and an interception while adding three carries for 16 yards in a 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Thompson-Robinson replaced starter Jameis Winston after the latter's third interception of the contest but the second-year signal-caller wound up throwing an interception of his own with 1:26 left in the game. Head coach Kevin Stefanski was non-committal about who would be his starting quarterback for Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but it would be worth a waiver claim on DTR in deeper, superflex leagues in case the Browns opt to go with the youngster.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston was benched and replaced by Dorian Thompson-Robinson during the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. An ugly performance by Winston and his undisputed tendency to turn over the football prompted the Browns' coaching staff to make a quarterback change in the final minutes of Week 15. Winston completed just 16 of his 25 pass attempts for 146 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also took five sacks and lost two yards rushing. Furthermore, the veteran quarterback fumbled, but he recovered the loose ball himself. In his brief appearance leading the offense, Thompson-Robinson didn't fare much better, completing four of nine passes for 18 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He did demonstrate a little more mobility than Winston, adding 18 rushing yards on three attempts. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates on the Browns' quarterback position, as it appears the competition for the starting role has been re-opened.
