Nobody needs to watch Browns vs. Colts on Saturday to get a feel for how good Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield can be this season. His top receiving targets, Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, won't play in Week 2 of the preseason.
But those two didn't play last week, either, and Mayfield still became a headliner thanks to his performance in one quick drive against Washington. Now the NFL preseason schedule sends the Mayfield show to Indianapolis, where Cleveland might again send out its starting QB to run a two-minute drill seemingly just for the hell of it.

The best Browns position battle to watch in Saturday's game against the Colts is the fight for the No. 2 cornerback spot between Terrance Mitchell and Greedy Williams. Due in part to his play in Indianapolis this week, one eventually will earn the right to start opposite Denzel Ward in Cleveland's base defense.
The Colts will be interested in the play of those Browns corners, too, because they will be matched up against the receivers who are battling to be the No. 2 receiver behind T.Y. Hilton in Indianapolis. A name to watch in that competition is Daurice Fountain, who broke out with a big game last week to cement his place in the position battle.
