Driskel will serve as the Browns' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Given that the Browns are locked in as the No. 5 playoff seed in the AFC playoffs, veteran starter Joe Flacco is slated to be rested in Week 18. As a result, Driskel will get the nod in Sunday's regular-season finale and will be backed up by PJ Walker. Driskel represents a lineup option -- albeit a risky one -- for those inclined to take a chance in DFS contests on a quarterback with some rushing upside. The 30-year-old signal-caller has completed just 59.2 percent of his passes for 6.1 yards per attempt over 23 games (11 starts) in parts of five seasons with the Bengals, Lions, Broncos and Texans, but he's carried 73 times for 384 yards (5.3 average) and three touchdowns.
