Case Keenum Fantasy

Cleveland Browns quarterback Case Keenum completed nine of 12 passes for 74 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 17-13 win over the New York Giants in his team's second preseason game on Sunday. Keenum got off to a hot start on his first drive, marching the offense down the field in 10 plays, culminating in a touchdown pass to KhaDarel Hodge. He couldn't keep it going on his next drive, however, as he threw a red-zone interception at the New York 10-yard line. Keenum is expected to open the season as the primary backup to Baker Mayfield and serve as a veteran presence for the team.

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.
