Dillon Gabriel News

Dillon Gabriel Inactive With Shoulder Injury

Sunday, December 28, 11:49 AM

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel (shoulder) injured his left shoulder at some point during the week and has been ruled out for the Week 17 divisional clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. With Gabriel inactive, Bailey Zappe has been elevated to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad and will serve as rookie Shedeur Sanders' backup this weekend. The 25-year-old Gabriel ended up making six starts for Cleveland in his first year in the NFL in 2025, but he was largely mediocre while failing to push the ball downfield. Gabriel's reign as the team's starting QB ended in Week 11 when he suffered a concussion, opening the door for Sanders to take over. In his six starts, the Oregon product completed 58.9% of his passes for 918 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions while adding 86 rushing yards. Gabriel is expected to compete for the starting gig next year with Sanders and Deshaun Watson (Achilles).

Jaxson Dart to Benefit from Improved Weaponry in Year 2

Saturday, March 14, 4:27 PM

From Weeks 4 through 10 of the 2025 season, New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was the QB3 across most fantasy formats. He would miss the next two weeks with a concussion and finish as QB13 across his 12 starts. He now enters 2026 with an improved supporting cast and a chance to take a massive leap in year two. The Giants have added tight end Isaiah Likely and wide receiver Darnell Mooney through free agency and are expected to see the returns of Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo, both of whom ended their season on injured reserve. Dart finished his rookie year with nearly 500 yards on the ground and nine rushing touchdowns, and his rushing prowess will continue to provide a safe fantasy floor, but with the notable upgrades to the weaponry around him, his upside case is as strong as any quarterback outside the fantasy elite.
