Description: Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden has been ruled out for Week 17. | Insight: Colt McCoy is also inactive. Thad Lewis will get the start. Given his limited experience, we suggest avoiding the entire Browns offense. | | |

Description: Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden exited Sunday's game against Denver with a shoulder injury and did not return, but has not been ruled out for Week 17. | Insight: Colt McCoy would get the start if Weeden is inactive. Weeden had a few productive games this season, but not enough to rise to the level of fantasy starter. | | |

Description: Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden has averaged 292.5 yards per game and has five TDs and five INTs in four games since his pitiful debut against the Eagles on Sept. 9. | Insight: Weeden has still made mistakes but he's also made plenty of good throws since Week 1. His receivers have been inconsistent but he was able to hook up with Josh Gordon on a 62-yard touchdown pass and also completed nine passes to Jordan Norwood Sunday against the Giants. | | |

Description: Cleveland quarterback Brandon Weeden completed just 51 percent of his passes and threw an interception but he also had 320 yards and nearly led a comeback Thursday against the Ravens. | Insight: Weeden wasn't great but Thursday showed the rookie could stand in the pocket against a tough defense on the road and still make some plays. If his receivers didn't drop a bunch of passes his numbers would have looked a lot better. | | |

Description: Cleveland quarterback Brandon Weeden struggled to the tune of 27-for-43 passing and two interceptions Sunday in a loss to the Bills. | Insight: Weeden threw for 237 yards but most of that came in garbage time and he was also sacked four times for a loss of 30 yards. Weeden showed us he has potential after a strong outing last week against Cincinnati but he's too inconsistent at this stage in his career to serve as anything more than a bench player in fantasy. | | |

Description: After a horrendous outing in Week 1, Browns QB Brandon Weeden bounced back with a stellar performance in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. The rookie threw for 322 yards and two touchdowns without recording an interception. | Insight: Cincinnati's pass defense has been suspect all year, so we're still not convinced that Weeden is fantasy-worthy just yet. However, Sunday's game was definitely a step in the right direction for the former Oklahoma State star. | | |

Description: Browns coach Pat Shurmur said rookie starting quarterback Brandon Weeden will start in Week 2 against Cincinnati. Weeden was awful in Week 1 against the Eagles going 12-of-34 for 118 yards and four interceptions. | Insight: Weeden isn't going to be a fantasy-worthy starter anytime soon, but he's got to play well or the Browns only quality fantasy option,Trent Richardson, will be facing eight- and nine-man fronts. | | |
| 9/9/2012 5:57:00 PM |
Description: Pick a stat, any stat, and Brandon Weeden was lousy at it in his first NFL game Sunday against the Eagles. He completed 34.3 percent of his passes, averaged 3.4 yards per attempt, threw zero interceptions and was picked off four times. | Insight: Nobody is starting Weeden in fantasy, but we'd like him to at least be competent to take some heat off of Trent Richardson (19 carries, 39 yards) and to give some value to Greg Little (0 catches). | | |
| 8/25/2012 11:18:00 AM |
Description: Browns rookie QB Brandon Weeden struggled against the Eagles on Friday night, going 9-of-20 for 117 yards and fumbling twice. | Insight: Weeden and a mediocre set of receivers are a long way from being fantasy worthy and you should stay away, stay far away, on draft day. | | |
| 8/16/2012 10:45:00 PM |
Description: Browns rookie QB Brandon Weeden had an improved performance Thursday in his second preseason game, going 12-of-20 for 118 yards. | Insight: Weeden is a fringe QB2 at this point but his presence may make a Cleveland Browns receiver ownable for the first time since Braylon Edwards was with the team. Plus, he figures to keep defenses from playing eight men in the box versus rookie running back Trent Richardson. | | |
| 8/11/2012 11:08:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland's rookie opening day starter Brandon Weeden didn't look very good in his first live NFL experience, going 3-for-9 for 62 yards, one interception and a fumble. | Insight: He'll need to do much better in the coming weeks to keep the starting job and have any fantasy value. | | |
| 8/6/2012 6:41:00 PM |
Description: Browns coach Pat Shurmur announced Monday that Brandon Weeden will be QB1 in Week 1, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. | Insight: Weeden is a 28-year-old rookie, so it's no surprise the team wants to get him on the field as quickly as possible. Weeden will be a solid backup option in deeper leagues. | | |
| 5/22/2012 2:20:00 PM |
Description: General Manager Tom Heckert said he expects Browns rookie Brandon Weeden to be the team's starting quarterback this season. | Insight: Weeden is coming off a huge season at Oklahoma State (4,727 yards, 37 TDs) and has to beat out incumbents Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace. It remains to be seen how this would effect receivers Greg Little, Mohamed Massaquoi, Travis Benjamin and Josh Cribbs. | | |
| 4/27/2012 9:28:00 PM |
