Michael Campanaro (shoulder) is doubtful for Week 7.

Don’t expect Campanaro to suit up tomorrow night against the Dolphins, but the official list of inactive will be out an hour-and-a-half ahead of kickoff.

The Browns have named DeShone Kizer as their starting quarterback.

After one game on the bench in favor of Kevin Hogan, the second-round rookie is back as the starter for the Browns. With a completion percentage under 50% in each of his last four games and a 3:9 TD/INT ratio on the season, Kizer will look to improve in a major way and show he can quarterback the team beyond this season. It is disappointing that Cody Kessler, who played very well as a rookie last season, isn’t getting an opportunity despite the poor play by Kizer. After adding a lot of talent to the team this offseason and not seeing results yet, Hue Jackson might be on the hot seat needing to show the rookie they drafted can be their guy for the future. With Kizer under center, the Browns are the best target for streaming D/ST against this season—this week, it’s the Titans.

Stefon Diggs (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday.

Diggs will miss his second straight game while dealing with the groin injury, this time against the Ravens. Adam Thielen should again be in line for a ton of targets, and he’s an excellent option even in a difficult matchup with Baltimore’s defense. WR Michael Floyd (hamstring) is questionable for the game, which could lead to even more targets for Thielen. Diggs said this groin injury isn’t as bad as the one suffered last year, but this is now two missed games in a row, and he didn’t practice all week again—he should be considered 50/50 for Week 8 against the Browns.

Eric Decker leads the Titans in receiving against Indy.

Decker had his best game of the season, working as a great target for an immobile Marcus Mariota throughout the night and grabbing seven of nine targets for 88 yards. The veteran receiver did a great job on crossing routes and routes toward the sideline, and Mariota kept finding him for key receptions. He has a good matchup against Cleveland next week and is in the FLEX conversation.

Kyle Rudolph catches five passes against Baltimore.

Rudolph was targeted seven times in the win, gaining 43 yards on his five receptions. The former Pro Bowl tight end would get an upgrade with Sam Bradford under center, but he’s still an excellent option in Week 8 against a Browns team that has been bad against opposing tight ends.

Ricardo Louis caught three passes for 21 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Titans.

Louis would see a boost by Cody Kessler being named the team’s starting quarterback, but even so, he’s not a recommended fantasy option, especially in Week 8 against the Vikings.

Cody Kessler takes the place of ineffective DeShone Kizer in overtime loss to the Titans.

Kessler entered after one drive in the third quarter and was 10/19 for 121 yards and one interception. The second-year quarterback was able to get the Browns in field-goal range twice and tie the game at nine to send it into overtime, but they couldn’t do anything when they had the ball, allowing the Titans to kick a game-winner. Kessler’s interception was a fourth-down play that turned out to basically be a punt, and he unfortunately didn’t have Joe Thomas protecting his blindside after he tore his triceps to miss the rest of the game (and amazingly, his first career snaps). It’s anyone’s guess who will start next Sunday in London against Minnesota, but Kessler probably gives the Browns their best chance to pickup a win this season. No matter who starts, the Vikings are the top D/ST in Week 8.
