Primary Add: Antonio Callaway – 16.5% Ownership

Callaway was featured last week as well, but he’s even more notable now since the Browns came to their senses and named Baker Mayfield their starting quarterback. Callaway has seen his snap percentages increase every week as he integrates into the office and improves his conditioning in order to be an every week starter. He’s taking over the Josh Gordon role very nicely so far and he creates separation on deep balls incredibly well. Mayfield is an upgrade in every sense and from the one half of football we saw on Thursday, it looks like he’s the real deal.

Callaway will have plenty of opportunity in the next month as the Browns square off with the Raiders, Chargers and Bucs in the month of October.

All three of these contests should have positive game scripts for Callaway and he’s the type of guy that only needs one play to give your team fantasy value. He’s someone worth grabbing and holding onto for a week or two to see how much Baker targets him. If Mayfield proves to be as good as he looked last week, the whole Browns offense will get an upgrade and Callaway will benefit more than most.
