Also completed three passes for 35, ran for 21 yards and TD. Pryor is first player with at least 120 yards receiving, 30 passing, 20 rushing since Hall of Famer Frank Gifford in 1959. ... Browns coach Hue Jackson likely to stay with rotating QB system. ...

All sorts of injuries affecting DBs, OL. S DeAngelo Hall out for season; Will Blackmon will start. C Kory Lichtensteiger also went on IR; Spencer Long will start. Fantasy Tip: Pryor against banged-up Redskins secondary should be favorable matchup for WR. ... Washington WR Jamison Crowder (tied for team lead with 16 catches) sometimes seems to get overlooked by opponents.
