Brandon Weeden Hits Rookie Bumps In Debut: Fantasy Implications
Brandon Weeden’s first professional start was far from perfect. We break down the fantasy implications.
Presswire
Analysis: There were a couple bright spots, but for the most part Weeden looked exactly like the rookie he is. In addition to an ill-conceived pass into double coverage that was picked off, he lost a fumble that may have been prevented with more ball secutiry. But his night wasn't a complete lost cause - one of his few completions was a nice sideline pass to Travis Benjamin, and he showed some of the poise and tools that convinced the Browns to take the 28-year-old in the 1st round. Weeden probably isn't a viable fantasy option this year, but keeper and dynasty players may want to take a flyer on him.
