While the Cleveland Browns haven't made any announcements on their quarterback competition, The Athletic's Zac Jackson writes that 18-year veteran Joe Flacco should be well ahead of rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, and he's also probably ahead of Kenny Pickett. Flacco throws the ball better than the others in a practice setting, and his overall experience makes him the clear favorite to win the job. It's possible that Pickett will outplay Flacco in the coming months, though. Flacco and Pickett alternated turns with the No. 1 offense in practice at OTAs on Wednesday, with Gabriel out-repping Sanders in the second OTA practice. Jackson thinks it's almost a certainty that the QB battle is between Flacco and Pickett. Although Flacco had a nice little run with Cleveland at the end of 2023, he'll be a low-end QB2 option in two-QB fantasy leagues if he wins the starting gig over Pickett this year.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is off to a strong start at training camp on the first day of practice on Thursday, according to Chargers.com's Eric Smith. Herbert connected with receiver Jalen Reagor on a 50-yard touchdown in 11-on-11 work. The 27-year-old was also sharp during 7-on-7 drills, finding rookie wideout Keandre Lambert-Smith for a 10-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone. It's obviously very early this summer, but Herbert appears to be in midseason form throwing the football. Big wideout Mike Williams announced his plans to retire on Thursday, so Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and second-round rookie Tre Harris figures to be Herbert's primary aerial targets in 2025. Outside of McConkey, Herbert doesn't have a whole lot to work with in what should once again be a run-first offense. Target him as a QB2 in fantasy.
