2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gabriel was the first of two quarterbacks drafted by the Browns in April. While he's overshadowed by the other, Shadeur Sanders, Gabriel was third in line during early OTAs. That pattern held up when minicamp began in June. It's a rebuilding season in Cleveland, but it unlikely sees the "future" in either QB. The team also added veterans Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco, who at 40, was the best of the four in OTAs. The Browns are expected to get by with this lot for 2025 before seeking a franchise quarterback in next year's draft, but they'll kick the tires on Gabriel for 17 weeks to see if he's a long-term fit.

Entering second vs. Rams
Browns head coach Kevin Stefansk said Thursday that Gabriel is set to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams, entering the game second, after starter Joe Flacco and before Shedeur Sanders, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel and Sanders are competing for slotting behind Flacco, who has already been named the Week 1 starter and is in line to handle 25-30 snaps with the first-team offense Saturday. Meanwhile, Kenny Pickett (hamstring) will miss a third consecutive preseason game due to injury, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. With roster cut-downs on deck next week, Saturday's game represents a crucial opportunity for both Gabriel and Sanders to put good reps on tape as they vie with Pickett for depth chart standing behind Flacco.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Takes practice reps Wednesday
Gabriel, who didn't play in the Browns' preseason opener against the Panthers due to a hamstring injury, took reps in the first day of joint practices with the Eagles on Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel was able to participate in both 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 team drills. If the rookie third-round pick can suit up for Saturday's preseason game against Philadelphia, he'll likely find his way to some extra snaps since fellow first-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders is expected to sit out due to the oblique injury he suffered while warming up Wednesday morning.
