Brandon Weeden named starter-- Mon Aug 6 7:00 pm -- Cleveland will start rookie quarterback
Brandon Weeden won the Browns' starting quarterback job without playing a game.
Cleveland coach Pat Shurmur announced what had been an open secret after practice on Monday. "Brandon is the starter and we're moving forward," Shurmur said. "We're rolling and I'm not looking back."

FF Today's Take:This move was expected and Colt McCoy will now battle Seneca Wallace for the backup job. Weeden, 28, will take over an offense ranked 29th a year ago but does have promising young talent. However, he'll be no better than a QB2 for your fantasy team in 2012.
