Browns Elevate Bailey Zappe from Practice Squad, Will Serve as Cleveland's QB2 in Week 12

Saturday, November 22, 1:01 PM

The Cleveland Browns have elevated quarterback Bailey Zappe from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. With quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) sidelined by a concussion, Zappe will serve as Cleveland's QB2 in Week 12 behind rookie Shedeur Sanders. Across 15 career NFL games (nine starts), Zappe has completed 62.1% of his pass attempts for 2,223 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He last appeared in an NFL game with Cleveland in 2024. Gabriel is not expected to face an extended absence, so Zappe's time on the active roster could be limited to one week.

Jalen Milroe News

Jalen Milroe Inconsistent in Preseason Week 1

Sunday, August 16, 5:59 AM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe took over for Drew Lock on the team's third drive against the Cowboys on Saturday. Milroe went 5/8 for 36 yards. He also added five carries for 36 yards and recovered his own fumble. After Lock led the offense to a touchdown on the opening drive, Milroe was unable to capture that magic. In 2025, fantasy managers were excited for the prospect of Milroe receiving some rushing work in this offense. Instead, he spent much of the season inactive as the team went in a different direction. Milroe looks like he may not be pushing for the backup job this season either. For now, he remains irrelevant in fantasy despite possessing solid upside should he ever receive a chance to start in the NFL.
