Confirmed to start Week 16
Thompson-Robinson confirmed Tuesday that he's been named the Browns' starting quarterback for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. "Obviously excited for the opportunity," Thompson-Robinson said, while speaking to media at a charity event. "Still going to prepare and study the same way I do every week, and looking to go out there and get a win."
ANALYSIS
Head coach Kevin Stefanski will presumably address the change at quarterback when he speaks to the media Wednesday, but the Browns will turn the offense over to Thompson-Robinson after Jameis Winston went 2-5 over seven starts and threw eight interceptions over the last three games alone. Thompson-Robinson, who came on for the final two possessions of Sunday's 21-7 loss to Kansas City, has made 12 career appearances (three starts) in two seasons, rushing 20 times for 125 yards and completing 51.4 percent of his passes for 540 yards, one touchdown and seven interceptions. While Thompson-Robinson brings more mobility to the table, he hasn't shown much aptitude as a passer nor does he possess the arm strength of Winston, and the Browns could opt for a more conservative, run-heavy game plan as a result. Even in a favorable matchup against a Bengals defense that has routinely surrendered big yardage and point totals all season, Thompson-Robinson still represents a low-end fantasy option at quarterback.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Browns selected Thompson-Robinson in the fifth round of the 2023 draft. A five-year starter at UCLA, Thompson-Robinson is familiar with the pro-style offense that was run by Bruins coach Chip Kelly. Like Deshaun Watson and Josh Dobbs ahead of him, the rookie is a dual-threat quarterback. The Browns weren't necessarily looking QB in the draft, but he checked the appropriate boxes -- mobility, accuracy -- and they view Thompson-Robinson as a potentially long-term fit as a backup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get starting nod
Thompson-Robinson might get the start for the Browns in Week 16 against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
On Monday, coach Kevin Stefanski declined to name a starter for Week 16 after Jameis Winston was benched in favor of Thompson-Robinson during Sunday's loss to Kansas City. Winston has thrown eight interceptions over the last three games, including three in Week 15, and he'll also become a free agent in the offseason. With the 3-11 Browns already eliminated from the playoffs, looking ahead to 2025 is the bigger priority, and Thompson-Robinson will still be on his rookie contract after being selected in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. If he does get a chance to start over Cleveland's last three games, his performance will likely determine whether he will remain in the team's future plans.
