Case Keenum Fantasy

The Cleveland Browns have brought in Case Keenum at quarterback late in the third quarter of their Week 6 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns' starting quarterback Baker Mayfield was dealing with a rib injury prior to the game and struggled mightily in nearly three quarters of work, completing 10 of 18 passes for 119 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He was sacked four times. The Steelers were up 31 to 7 at the time Mayfield was benched, so the team is likely being cautious with him in a game that looks to be out of reach.

The Cleveland Browns agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal with quarterback Case Keenum on Monday, according to a source. The deal will include $10 million guaranteed. The 32-year-old veteran signal-caller will serve as Baker Mayfield's backup in Cleveland. Keenum enjoyed the best season of his career in 2017 with Minnesota when he started 14 games and took the Vikings deep into the playoffs. He's predictably come back down to Earth the last two years with the Broncos and Redskins. The depth behind Mayfield was in question last year, but Keenum will provide an experienced and reliable backup. He won't have any fantasy value unless Mayfield is hurt or benched.

Washington Redskins impending free-agent quarterback Case Keenum is on the Cleveland Browns' radar, according to a league source. Cleveland is looking to bring in a veteran backup to Baker Mayfield that can help him grow and develop after a disappointing 2019 campaign. Drew Stanton missed all of last season with a knee injury and will be a free agent himself next month. Keenum, 32, worked with head coach Kevin Stefanski with the Vikings in 2017 when he led the team to an 11-3 record. He's thrown for 14,368 yards, 75 touchdowns and 47 interceptions for a career passer rating of 85.3, but he'd just be holding the clipboard for Mayfield in Cleveland.
