Dillon Gabriel Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel will serve as the backup option for the upcoming Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Gabriel sat out of Sunday's game versus the Las Vegas Raiders due to a concussion. On Monday, Gabriel cleared concussion protocol, but was named the backup for at least one game. Shedeur Sanders played well in his absence and will draw at least one more start for the Browns. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said he won't name a starter past this week, so Gabriel could take over again if Sanders struggles.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel (head) has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, according to Camryn Justice of WEWS. The Browns previously said that Gabriel would return to the starting role under center when he was cleared of his concussion, but that won't be the case, as they have named fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders as the starter for Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers after he led the team to their third win of the year in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders. If Sanders continues to play well, the 24-year-old Gabriel could finish out his first year in the NFL in a backup role. Sanders didn't play exceptionally well in his first career start, but he did help the Browns stretch the field, something that Gabriel could not do. In eight games (six starts), Gabriel completed 59.2% of his passes for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two picks while averaging just 117.1 passing yards per game.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite returning to practice on Friday, Gabriel won't be active this weekend. He hasn't fully cleared concussion protocol, so he won't suit up. In his absence, Shedeur Sanders will make his first career NFL start with Bailey Zappe backing him up. Gabriel wasn't lighting up the box score when he was healthy, so Sanders might be able to steal away the starting gig with a strong performance. Otherwise, Gabriel should be ready to go for the Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) returned to practice on Friday but has still not fully cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Gabriel was forced to exit early from Cleveland's Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens after suffering a concussion and will miss the team's Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders as well. With Gabriel sidelined, fellow rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his first NFL start against Las Vegas. While a monster performance from Sanders could change things, Gabriel is expected to resume starting duties in Cleveland once cleared to return from his concussion. Given that he was able to return to practice in some capacity on Friday, Gabriel's return could come when the Browns will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) missed another day of practice on Thursday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. The Browns already announced that Gabriel will not play in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders after suffering a concussion on Sunday in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and he will likely sit out of practice the entire week. If the 24-year-old can clear the league's concussion protocol next week, though, he's expected to return to the starting role to face the San Francisco 49ers. With Gabriel out this weekend, fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders will make his first NFL start on the road against the Raiders. Unsurprisingly, Gabriel has mostly struggled in his first eight games (six starts), going 1-5 with a 59.2 completion percentage, 937 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. He'll be on the QB2/3 borderline for fantasy managers if he makes more starts in 2025.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) is improving, but he remains in the league's concussion protocol, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Gabriel will not start this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders after suffering a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, paving the way for rookie fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders to make his first NFL start on Sunday in Sin City. The Browns are saying that the 24-year-old Gabriel will be the starter once again when he's cleared from the concussion protocol, though, so he could return to duties under center as soon as Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers. Gabriel has been a shaky low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes in his first eight NFL games (six starts), completing 59.2% of his pass attempts for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol after sitting out the second half of Sunday's loss to the Ravens. While Gabriel only threw for 68 yards in the first half, the Browns held a 16-10 lead before fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders took over in the second half. Sanders threw for only 47 yards while completing a quarter of his pass attempts and throwing an interception in a game that was eventually lost 23-16. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Monday that he would provide an update on Wednesday regarding the team's preparation for Sunday's Week 12 matchup with the Raiders. Regardless of who gets the start in Week 12 or beyond, the Browns' entire passing offense should be avoided down the stretch of the fantasy season and into the playoffs.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol, leaving his status for Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders up in the air. However, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Gabriel will remain the starter if he is healthy and clears concussion protocol. The Oregon product was replaced by fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders following his injury, but it didn't go very well as Sanders completed just four of his 16 pass attempts, took two sacks, and threw an interception. Gabriel, on the other hand, went 7-for-10 passing with 68 yards through the air, and he also led four scoring drives. Cleveland is at its best when it controls the rushing attack, which leaves Gabriel outside the top 24 fantasy quarterbacks going forward.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Gabriel was pulled out and was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. He didn't join the team in the second half and is officially done for the day. Before exiting, Gabriel completed 7-of-10 passing attempts for 68 yards. Now, Shedeur Sanders will take over under center for the rest of this game. Sanders is making his NFL debut and gets a chance to prove himself with his team leading to begin the second half.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 17 of his 32 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 10 loss to the New York Jets. The rookie quarterback has completed 58.6% of his passes for 869 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions in seven games for the Browns this season. He will look for his second 200-yard passing game of the season in a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have been generous to opposing passing offenses this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks thus far. That being said, Gabriel hasn't shown enough of a ceiling in fantasy to trust as a starting option, even in a plus matchup like he has on Sunday. He settles in as a middling QB3 in fantasy for Week 11 and is not a realistic starting option outside of deep, superflex formats.
