DeShone Kizer Ready To Compete For Backup Job rotoballer.com Wed 6/23/21 9:55 PM

Tennessee Titans quarterback DeShone Kizer has looked good in organized team activities and minicamp this offseason, especially on midrange routes across the middle. Kizer worked only with quarterbacks coach Pat O'Hara last year as the team's "quarantine QB," and his quick decision-making in offseason practices is evidence that he has a strong understanding of the playbook. Like starter Ryan Tannehill, the fifth-year veteran can make most of the necessary throws and can also make plays on the ...

DeShone Kizer Works Out For Lions rotoballer.com Thu 8/27/20 6:44 PM

Quarterback DeShone Kizer was brought in for a workout with the Detroit Lions on Thursday in an attempt to join the squad as a reserve signal caller. Kizer has not appeared in a regular-season contest since 2018 as a member of the Packers. He entered the league as a second-round pick in 17, but went 0-15 during his tenure as the Browns starting quarterback. Kizer also recently worked out for the Titans. He holds no fantasy interest at this stage, but would join Chase Daniel and David Blough in...

Raiders Cut DeShone Kizer rotoballer.com Tue 5/5/20 5:01 PM

The Las Vegas Raiders cut quarterback DeShone Kizer on Tuesday, according to a source. Kizer didn't play at all last year after serving as quarterback depth behind Derek Carr for the Raiders. He's already been with three different teams since being a second-round pick (52nd overall) back in 2017 with the Browns. At best, Kizer would've been the No. 3 behind Carr and expensive backup Marcus Mariota in Las Vegas. Nathan Peterman will now serve as the No. 3 with Kizer moving on. If he finds another...

Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer led the team in the final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kizer finished the game completing eight of his 15 attempts for 77 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Kizer also added another 13 yards on the ground with one rush attempt.

DeShone Kizer Limited In Preseason Matchup rotoballer.com Fri 8/23/19 4:51 AM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer was limited in the preseason matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Kizer completed four of his seven attempts for 24 yards and an interception.

DeShone Kizer Leading Packers Without Rodgers rotoballer.com Mon 8/19/19 8:20 AM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer is leading the Packers in first-team reps with Aaron Rodgers struggling with back tightness. While Kizer is unlikely to challenge Rodgers for the starting quarterback position, his performances in camp could affect the perceived value of the surround skill players if Rodgers were to miss time. Kizer was able to connect on a deep pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling in a recent practice and has looked comfortable in the team's new offense in the opening ...

DeShone Kizer Has Mixed Outing Against Baltimore rotoballer.com Fri 8/16/19 3:10 AM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer had a mixed outing in the team matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Kizer is in a battle with Tim Boyle to be the backup to Aaron Rodgers, who was sat in the game due to tightness in his back. Boyle was given the majority of the work in this game, but Kizer was still able to log five completions from ten attempts for 70 yards. Kizer and Boyle are unlikely to have fantasy relevance this season unless Rodgers were to miss time- but the battle of the ...

DeShone Kizer Starts For Green Bay In Opener rotoballer.com Fri 8/9/19 3:27 AM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer started for the Green Bay Packers in the preseason opener against the Houston Texans. Kizer threw the ball 13 times completing eight passes for 102 yards and a single touchdown, also adding three yards on the ground. Kizer was given limited opportunity to impress- but certainly looked impressive in his movement in the pocket. The signal-caller is highly unlikely to unseat quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but given this early performance, Kizer certainly...
