Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer has more than held his own in leading the Browns to a surprise 3-2 record, but he hasn't exactly lit it up for Fantasy owners. Should we expect that to change in Week 7, with the lowly Jaguars on the schedule?
Hoyeris coming off a 14-point Fantasy effort, the fourth time in five games he has been held to 16 points or fewer. He has mostly avoided mistakes, but that hasn't led to big numbers, as he has just one multi-touchdown game. Part of that is by design, as the Browns have not asked him to do much; Hoyer is just 25th in the league in pass attempts so far.
That might not change in Week 7, as teams have had little trouble beating the Jaguars even without big contributions from quarterbacks. Though the Jaguars' pass defense hasn't looked particularly good overall, they have held their last two opponents to just 23 Fantasy points combined.
The Browns seem likely to continue relying on their running game in Week 7, so don't expect Hoyer to flip the script. Consider him just a low-end Fantasy starter at this point.
