The Browns traded Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a 2025 fifth-round pick to the Eagles for Kenny Pickett.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson-Robinson likely competes with Tanner McKee for the Eagles backup quarterback job. He has struggled in his time on the field to start his career.

The Cleveland Browns intend to play both Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe with no starter yet announced, per head coach Kevin Stefanski.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson-Robinson has struggled since taking over at QB, averaging 0.93 adjusted net yards per pass attempt, the lowest among Browns QBs this season (Jameis Winston, 5.35; Deshaun Watson, 3.70). Zappe should get his first action as a Brown, but regardless of who is under center, expectations should be low for the offense entering the weekend as multi-TD underdogs.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson was limited at practice on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson-Robinson may split snaps in Week 18 with Bailey Zappe according to Browns coach Kevin Stefanski.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed 24 of 47 passes for 170 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. The Dolphins' defense applied consistent pressure, resulting in multiple sacks and limiting Thompson-Robinson's effectiveness throughout the game.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson-Robinson’s performance highlights his current limitations as a fantasy option. While his volume of pass attempts offers some appeal in deeper leagues, his inefficiency and turnover issues make him a risky choice. Managers in need of quarterback help should look for more reliable options, as his upside is capped in Cleveland’s struggling offense.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson is dealing with a calf injury out of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson-Robinson is expected to remain the starter if he is healthy enough in Week 17. Otherwise, Jameis Winston could be back at quarterback.
