Browns HC Hue Jackson announced Wednesday morning that QB Kevin Hogan will start this weekend's game against the Texans. QB DeShone Kizer has looked lost since an encouraging debut, completing just 47.3% of his passes with 2 TDs and 8 INTs. Hogan, meanwhile, has been solid in 3 relief appearances, posting a 68.4% completion rate with 3 TDs and 2 INTs. "We've liked what Kevin has been able to do within our offense when he's been in there and he will start on Sunday because that's what we feel is best for our team at this point in time," Jackson said. "This does not change the way we feel about DeShone going forward. He's worked extremely hard and still very much has a bright future. Right now, it's better for him and his development to back up Kevin." We're expecting to see Kizer back under center at some point this season, but he's not worth stashing in redraft leagues. Hogan is just a low-end QB2 vs. Houston this weekend.

The Browns have traded QB Kevin Hogan to Washington for a 6th-round draft pick, ESPN reports. Good move for Cleveland, which has clearly chosen a new direction. Hogan figures to compete for a backup job with Colt McCoy, who has 1 year left on his contract
