2025 Projections
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.

Signed a four-year contract with the Browns in June of 2025.
Will start if hamstring feels good
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Gabriel will start Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles as long as his lingering hamstring injury doesn't act up in pre-game workouts or after practice, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel has been participating in 11-on-11 drills since Monday, so his hamstring injury doesn't appear to be hampering him much. In all likelihood, the Browns are simply taking extra precautions toward the rookie third-rounder's recovery, with Shedeur Sanders (oblique) and Kenny Pickett (hamstring) already expected to miss Saturday's game due to injury, and veteran Joe Flacco in line to rest. If Gabriel is able to start, he'll be relieved by Tyler Huntley. If the rookie can't go, however, Cleveland could sign an additional signal-caller to back up Huntley.

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.
