ANALYSIS: Cody Kessler had a solid debut on the road against a bad Miami defense in Week 3, and now heads to D.C. to take on the Redskins in Week 4. Kessler’s first career game saw him throw for 244 yards without any touchdowns or interceptions (although he did fumble twice, losing one of them). While not spectacular, it’s worth noting he was solid enough for a rookie in a week where the Browns were without wideouts Corey Coleman and Josh Gordon. The Redskins' defense make for a nice matchup– they’ve allowed 300 yards and three scores to Ben Roethlisberger, 292 yards and a rushing score to Dak Prescott, and 350 yards and a touchdown (with two interceptions) to Eli Manning. Considering Kessler has already demonstrated he won’t be rattled just because he’s on the road, if you’re in need of a second QB in Week 4, he just might provide some very sneaky value.
