It's hard to imagine what the 0.5 percent of fantasy players who started Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden had in mind when they put him in their lineups for Sunday, but even they didn't imagine 370 passing yards and 20 fantasy points. The quarterback had his best fantasy game of the season in the Browns' 32-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Brandon Weeden rewards fantasy owners who took huge risk
The Browns quarterback had his best game of the season despite the team’s loss. We break down the fantasy implications.

Weeden -- who remained winless in starts this season -- completed 24 of 40 passes for 370 yards and three scores, though he fumbled once and was intercepted twice. The vast majority of Weeden's production went to one receiver -- Josh Gordon had 261 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and no other pass-catcher topped 43 yards.
Fantasy impact: If you were one of that tiny percentage who took a shot on Weeden, congratulations, you're insane, and stop now. Weeden had his best game Sunday, and he's unlikely to repeat it, maybe ever. With games coming up against the New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, and New York Jets, get out while you can.
