Tyrod Taylor remains Browns' starter

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor remains the team's starter, head coach Hue Jackson told Peter King of NBC Sports.

What It Means:

“I’m not changing my mind,” Jackson told King. “Tyrod’s starting. That’s no reflection on [rookie first-round pick Baker] Mayfield. He respects what I’m doing for him long-term. He may not like me for it now, but he’ll thank me later.” Jackson has been excessively adamant throughout the preseason in confirming that Taylor is the starter, but it would be a surprise if the 1st overall pick is essentially redshirted for his entire rookie season.

numberFire's models currently project Taylor to throw for 2,767.1 yards with 16.83 touchdowns and 7.0 interceptions for the Browns, with another 435.9 rushing yards and 3.86 touchdowns on the ground. He's the 26th quarterback in our preseason fantasy rankings.
