Dillon Gabriel a Low-End Option in Week 5

Saturday, October 4, 9:50 AM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel will make his NFL debut in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. The Browns benched ineffective starter Joe Flacco earlier in the week and will turn to Gabriel, whom they drafted in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft. The rookie faces a tough task right off the bat against a Brian Flores-led Minnesota defense that tends to cause havoc for even the top quarterbacks in the league. The Browns are likely to limit Gabriel's pass attempts in his debut as a run-heavy offensive approach is likely. Treat Gabriel as a high-end QB3 in fantasy leagues for Week 5.

Xavier Legette News

Xavier Legette has Shaky Value

Friday, October 3, 6:34 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) is back in action for the Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Legette will return this weekend after a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The targets have been there for Legette, but the 24-year-old has been unable to make an impact. Through two games, Legette has hauled in four of his 15 targets for eight yards this season. The Panthers offense isn't having much success right now. Legette clearly needs to build more chemistry with quarterback Bryce Young. Legette is worth a stash in certain formats, but isn't worth a start for Week 5.
