The Cleveland Browns are sticking with Cody Kessler as their starting quarterback when they face the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Cody Kessler an easy call vs. Ravens
The Ravens defense should feast on the rookie quarterback.

Kessler is coming off a so-so performance vs. the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. He finished the game 19-of-27 passing for 203 yards and one score. A lot of it was just check-downs and short passes, which has head coach Hue Jackson wanting his rookie passer to air it out more.
This would certainly be the game to do so. Baltimore’s defense has been strong this season overall, but they have given up a lot of big pass plays throughout the year.
Expect Jackson and the Browns to try and take advantage of that, but do not expect that to make Kessler a worthy fantasy starter this week.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Kessler as the 25th-best quarterback in Week 10. He faces a Ravens defense allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks over the last five weeks.
Keep Kessler on the bench this week.
