DeShone Kizer

Hogan will become the Browns' 28th starting quarterback since the organization was revived in 1999, which comes on the heels of Kizer proving highly ineffective during Cleveland's 0-5 start to the season. Though the Browns have still publicly expressed faith in Kizer's future with the franchise, the rookie second-round pick hasn't looked ready for NFL action through the first five games of his career with a 49.5 quarterback rating, 50.9 percent completion rate and nine interceptions, all of which rank last in the league. After Kizer was benched through the second half of the Week 5 loss to the Jets, Hogan provided the Browns with a spark under center, completing 16 of 19 passes for two touchdowns and an interception. Hogan will now receive a chance to build on that performance, but given that he was beaten out by Kizer for the starting job in the preseason and is flanked by a poor receiving group, the Stanford product probably won't warrant much intrigue outside of two-quarterback fantasy formats.
