Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) will make his second straight start in Week 17 on Sunday against the visiting Miami Dolphins, according to offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. Thompson-Robinson aggravated a calf injury in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals, but he's been able to practice on a limited basis so far this week and will be good to go this weekend. The 25-year-old took over for the benched Jameis Winston last week and struggled to move the football in his first start of the year despite facing a porous Bengals defense. DTR completed only 20 of his 34 pass attempts last Sunday for 157 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He also fumbled once. He'll have a tougher matchup this weekend against Miami and could be without tight end David Njoku (knee), who he targeted 10 times last week. DTR will be a desperation low-end QB2 in fantasy.

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey said on Thursday that the offense is preparing for their Week 17 game on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins as if quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) will start. Thompson-Robinson was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Jameis Winston (shoulder) was inactive for last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, so the Browns would be down to Bailey Zappe as their starter if both Thompson-Robinson and Winston were unavailable this week. It sounds like Thompson-Robinson will be good to go in Week 17, although he won't be much of a fantasy option outside of deep superflex leagues after struggling by going 20-for-34 for 157 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions against a suspect Bengals defense last weekend. At best, DTR is a low-end QB2 option for those desperate in two-QB formats.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is hopeful that quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) can start against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17 on Sunday despite picking up a calf injury in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. If healthy, Thompson-Robinson remains Cleveland's starter under center despite underwhelming in his first start of 2024 against the Bengals. The 25-year-old went 20-for-34 (58.8%) for 157 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions against a defense that has been among the worst in the league this year. Jameis Winston (shoulder) was inactive due to injury, so if DTR isn't able to play this weekend, the Browns would be down to Bailey Zappe under center in Week 17. Thompson-Robinson has more rushing upside than Winston -- he ran for 49 yards against Cincy -- but he's nothing more than a desperation low-end QB2 in fantasy the rest of the way.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) threw for 157 yards and two interceptions off 20-for-34 passing in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He added nine carries for 49 yards. While DTR got it done as a runner, his ability on the passing end was another story. But it appears Thompson-Robinson will get a chance to make things right, with head coach Kevin Stefanski indicating he will start in Week 17 versus the Dolphins, assuming he's healthy after being bothered by a calf issue during the contest. With that in mind, he isn't the best choice for fantasy lineups, although most fantasy managers have that figured out by this point.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson will make his first start of the season when he heads on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Thompson-Robinson will take over as the Browns' starting quarterback after they benched Jameis Winston late in a Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bengals represent an excellent matchup for quarterbacks as they are allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Thompson-Robinson has thrown for just one touchdown and seven interceptions across 12 career appearances and can't be trusted to take advantage of this generous Cincinnati defense. He settles in as nothing more than a desperation option in superflex leagues heading into Week 16.
Dec 20, 2024 5:36 PM EST
The Cleveland Browns are making a change at quarterback heading into their Week 16 divisional contest against the Cincinnati Bengals and will go with Dorian Thompson-Robinson after benching Jameis Winston in the Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, according to league source. The Browns benched Winston after more turnover issues, as he tossed three interceptions and was pulled in the fourth quarter. Thompson-Robinson also threw a pick of his own against a tough Chiefs defense and finished 4-for-9 for 18 yards passing late in the game. The Browns will hope DTR can take better care of the football in a plus-plus matchup against a soft Bengals defense this weekend. It will be the 25-year-old's fourth NFL start. While the matchup is a nice one, fantasy managers shouldn't consider Thompson-Robinson as anything more than a low-end QB2 with a bit of upside in superflex leagues in Week 16.
Dec 17, 2024 12:14 PM EST
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed four of his nine passes for 18 yards and an interception while adding three carries for 16 yards in a 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Thompson-Robinson replaced starter Jameis Winston after the latter's third interception of the contest but the second-year signal-caller wound up throwing an interception of his own with 1:26 left in the game. Head coach Kevin Stefanski was non-committal about who would be his starting quarterback for Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but it would be worth a waiver claim on DTR in deeper, superflex leagues in case the Browns opt to go with the youngster.
Dec 15, 2024 10:02 PM EST
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) appears to be ready to go for the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Thompson-Robinson was forced to exit during last week's loss due to a right middle finger injury. It appears to be a minor issue, so Thompson-Robinson will serve as the No.2 option behind Jameis Winston on Sunday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Winston starting was from a gameplan standpoint, which means Thompson-Robinson could see time as the starter at some point. The 24-year-old is worth stashing for QB needy fantasy managers in dynasty leagues, but isn't likely to see much action or any at all as the backup.
Oct 25, 2024 2:15 PM EST
Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey said that quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) looked good throwing the football on his first day back with his finger injury in Wednesday's practice. However, the Browns will continue to evaluate how Thompson-Robinson feels this week to see if he can serve as Jameis Winston's backup on Sunday against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The 24-year-old injured a tendon in his right middle finger in relief of Deshaun Watson (Achilles) in the Week 7 loss to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals, but the fact that he was a full-go in Wednesday's practice is a good sign for his availability this weekend. Cleveland added Bailey Zappe as insurance at QB in case DTR isn't active. If Winston struggles this weekend, it's possible that the Browns go back to Thompson-Robinson for Week 9 versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team will see how quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) progresses from the finger injury he suffered in the Week 7 loss to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals, but he will practice on Wednesday. Stefanski would like to see how DTR throws in practice this week before the team makes a decision on who will back up Jameis Winston in Week 8 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The good news is that DTR's injury won't require surgery. If Thompson-Robinson is inactive on Sunday, Bailey Zappe would serve as Winston's backup with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) out for the year. Thompson-Robinson won't start in Week 8, but he could be an option to start in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers if Watson struggles against Baltimore.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) injured a tendon on one of the fingers on his right (throwing) hand in the Week 7 loss to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, although X-rays came back negative. The current belief is that Thompson-Robinson will not miss multiple weeks, but throwing the football will be a real test, according to a source. He will wear a split to help speed his recovery process when he's not throwing. Deshaun Watson is out for the year with a torn Achilles, so with DTR's status up in the air for Week 8 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, the Browns signed Bailey Zappe to back up veteran Jameis Winston. The 24-year-old Thompson-Robinson probably won't play this Sunday, and he could serve as Winston's backup when he gets past his finger injury.
Oct 22, 2024 3:22 PM EST
X-rays on Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson's right middle finger came back negative on Monday after he injured it in the Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Thompson-Robinson was forced into action after Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending torn Achilles. The 24-year-old is also undergoing an MRI exam to determine the severity of his finger injury. If he's deemed good to go for Week 8 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, the Browns must decide between DTR or veteran Jameis Winston to make the start with Watson out. The best bet is that Winston will make the start against the Ravens, but Thompson-Robinson could make a start at some point down the road in what has become a lost season for the Browns. Fantasy managers in single-QB leagues should be looking to avoid the quarterback situation in Cleveland.
Oct 21, 2024 1:07 PM EST
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) may have avoided a severe injury. However, his availability moving forward will be determined based on "how he responds to treatment and how he can grip a football." With Deshaun Watson (Achilles) going down in the Week 7 meeting with the Bengals, DTR took over under center, throwing for 82 yards off 11-for-24 passing, adding 44 yards off three carries. But after he was injured, Jameis Winston entered the contest. Cleveland will next meet the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Still, no matter who is throwing the ball, fantasy managers will have a tough time trusting any Browns quarterback until the offense shows signs of life.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed 13 of his 17 passes for 126 yards and one interception in a 27-12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in preseason action on Saturday. Thompson-Robinson drew the start and played the entire first half of the game, giving way to Tyler Huntley after halftime. While Thompson-Robinson didn't throw for any touchdowns, he led the Browns on a scoring drive culminating in a D'Onta Foreman touchdown on their first offensive possession of the contest. Thompson-Robinson is looking to hold off Huntley for the right to open the season as the No. 3 quarterback in Cleveland behind Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston.
Aug 17, 2024 7:50 PM EST
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson looked sharp in his team's 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in their preseason opener on Saturday. Thompson-Robinson completed 14 of his 18 passes for 134 yards while adding two yards on his lone rushing attempt. The second-year signal caller led the team's lone touchdown-scoring drive in the fourth quarter, which culminated in an Aidan Robbins touchdown run. With Jameis Winston expected to serve as the team's backup QB behind Deshaun Watson this season, Thompson-Robinson is looking to beat out Tyler Huntley in the preseason to serve as the QB3 in Cleveland.
Aug 10, 2024 9:54 PM EST
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) is set to have a follow-up MRI exam on his hip on Monday, and if all goes as planned, he's hoping to be back out on the field during the team's minicamp next weekend. The 24-year-old signal-caller suffered a subluxation of his hip on Christmas Eve last season and missed the rest of the year, which prompted the Browns to add veteran QB Joe Flacco. Thompson-Robinson has made good progress this offseason and is close to being cleared to throw during the team's offseason workouts. The Browns aren't going to rush him, though, and when healthy, he's going to be buried on the QB depth chart in Cleveland behind Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley.
May 5, 2024 1:05 PM EST
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said on Tuesday that the team might slow play things with quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) as the offseason program opens on April 15. However, Berry said the signing of former Baltimore Ravens backup Tyler Huntley on March 17 was independent of Thompson-Robinson's injury. Before his season-ending injury in 2023, Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-round pick out of UCLA, went 1-2 in his first three NFL starts, throwing for 440 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. The Browns were happy with DTR's contributions as he was forced to step into a starting role in his rookie season. However, with Jameis Winston also in town, he's likely to begin training camp as the team's No. 4 QB.
Apr 2, 2024 2:27 PM EST
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) has been placed on injured reserve and will not return in 2023. The rookie made three starts and eight appearances this season, completing just 53.6 percent of his passes for 440 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions. He also rushed 14 times for an additional 65 yards on the ground. With Deshaun Watson (shoulder) done for the season, too, Cleveland will continue to deploy Joe Flacco as its starting quarterback. The Browns' backup signal-caller will be P.J. Walker, who was elevated to the active roster on Tuesday.
Dec 26, 2023 12:35 PM EST
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson cleared concussion protocol this week but is still expected to operate as the backup to Joe Flacco during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie has appeared in parts of five games this season, completing just 58 of 109 passes for 429 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions, plus an additional 65 yards on the ground. Thompson-Robinson is off the fantasy radar while Flacco is a low-end QB2 option at the moment.
Dec 10, 2023 8:13 AM EST
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) was able to practice in full on Friday and clear the league's concussion protocol, so he was removed from the final Week 14 injury report. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski has refused to name a starter between Thompson-Robinson and veteran Joe Flacco heading into Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. For what it's worth, Flacco was the first in line for drills in practices this week and didn't fall flat in his first start in 2023 in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, throwing for over 200 yards and two touchdowns, although he did have a costly interception late. Regardless of who starts at QB for Cleveland, they'll be an unattractive low-end QB2 in superflex leagues and could be without top receiver Amari Cooper (concussion).
