Jake Browning

Browning isn't Joe Burrow, but he is one of the most proficient backup QBs in the league. The schedule is favorable for the Bengals, and they have their full stable of stud WRs back on the field with the return of Tee Higgins. Browning is the most decorated QB in the history of high school football and led the Washington Huskies to the College Football Playoff. He deserves consideration for a spot start in fantasy among the slim pickings available on this week's wire.

Jake Browning completed 32 of his 37 passes for 354 yards and one touchdown while adding two carries for 22 yards and a rushing score in a 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact

Browning was impressive in just his second career start, leading Cincinnati to an upset win over the Jaguars. He completed 86.5% of his passes while also showing off some rushing ability on Monday night. His lone touchdown pass was a 76-yarder to Ja'Marr Chase on a perfectly placed throw down the left sideline. Browning will look to stay hot in Week 14 against the Colts.
