Mason Rudolph Struggles In Preseason Finale

Friday, August 22, 10:43 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed six of his eight pass attempts for 36 scoreless yards and an interception in Thursday night's 19-10 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. Rudolph took the field for the team's first three offensive possessions and could not get much of anything going. The Steelers punted twice in the first quarter before Rudolph opened the second period with an ill-advised throw to Ke'Shawn Williams that Carolina picked off. Rudolph's brief showing was quickly outshined by teammate Skylar Thompson, who led Pittsburgh on three straight scoring drives. Nonetheless, the 30-year-old Rudolph should be expected to maintain QB2 duties heading into the regular season as the most experienced backup on the roster, especially if rookie Will Howard (finger) is placed on IR.

Dillon Gabriel a Low-End QB2 in Week 8

Friday, October 24, 8:17 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw for 116 scoreless yards in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. The rookie quarterback saw his passing stats suppressed by a rainy, windy day in Cleveland. Gabriel has now thrown for 546 yards and three touchdowns across five games (three starts) for the Browns this year. He will look to post more gaudy stats in a Week 8 road matchup against the New England Patriots. The Patriots have been tough on opposing quarterbacks this season as they are allowing the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to the position through seven games. Gabriel sets up as a low-end QB2 in a week where there are six teams on bye.
