Jameis Winston

Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reports Browns QB Jameis Winston will start in Week 8 against the Ravens.

This is the second well-sourced reporter to say Winston will take over as Cleveland’s starter after Deshaun Watson tore his Achilles in Week 7. It could be that the Browns are only starting Winston because Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who served as Watson’s backup in Week 7, is dealing with a finger injury. Winston last week targeted David Njoku heavily and pushed the ball downfield more often than Watson did as the Browns’ starter. He represents a significant upgrade for Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, and the rest of the team’s pass catchers.
