2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gabriel, who the Browns took in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, will begin the regular season as the Browns No. 2 quarterback behind Joe Flacco, while fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders will operate as the emergency No. 3 option. The Browns are expected to get by with this trio this year 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.

Future uncertain

January 7, 2026
Gabriel completed 59.5 percent of his passes for 937 yards and seven touchdowns with two interceptions over 10 games in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel, a third-round pick in 2025, was part of the Browns' quarterback carousel during his rookie season. He was thrust into the spotlight when he took over for Joe Flacco in Week 5 and went 1-5 as a starter. His tenure was marked by short passes, as Gabriel averaged a league-low among qualified quarterbacks with 5.1 yards per attempt. He often looked out of his depth and was eventually replaced by Shedeur Sanders for the final seven games of the season. All three quarterbacks were hamstrung by an unexciting group of wideouts. Following the end of the regular season, the organization fired head coach Kevin Stefanski -- although curiously retained general manager Andrew Berry -- which leaves Gabriel's future with the team uncertain. A new coach will certainly want to address Cleveland's glaring need for a starting quarterback and possibly backups.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be QB2 for rest of 2025
QBCleveland Browns
November 29, 2025
Gabriel could remain as Cleveland's backup quarterback beyond Week 13, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Browns are open to starting Shedeur Sanders for the rest of the 2025 season.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel was the Browns' starting quarterback in six games before entering the league's concussion protocol during Cleveland's Week 11 loss to Baltimore. That led to Sanders starting against the Raiders in Week 12, and while Gabriel has since cleared the league's concussion protocol, the Browns opted to stick with Sanders for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Schefter relays that the Browns are open to giving Sanders an extended look for the rest of year, though Gabriel could have another crack at the starting job if the former struggles Sunday and beyond.
