Who Should I Start? Zach Wilson or Dillon Gabriel

Sunday, August 10, 5:04 PM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson had an up-and-down performance in his team's preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Wilson completed five of his nine pass attempts for 96 yards and led two touchdown drives, but also took four sacks. Wilson entered the game for Miami's second drive of the day and played through the team's first drive of the second half. The fifth-year signal caller is in his first season with the Dolphins after spending 2024 with the Denver Broncos and not appearing in a game. Wilson is the favorite to be Tua Tagovailoa's backup this year in Miami, although seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers could push him for the role. Given Tagovailoa's extensive injury history, the Dolphins' QB2 role is one to monitor for fantasy managers.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (hamstring) is expected to start the team's second preseason game Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie third-round pick didn't play in the first exhibition game due to his hamstring issue. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Gabriel will only miss the start if there's a setback or soreness after practices. Gabriel's absence last week opened the door for fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders (oblique) to start the first preseason game. Sanders was in line for an encore start before an oblique injury took him out of the running. Kenny Pickett (hamstring) is also nursing an injury. Cleveland is currently rostering six quarterbacks and may carry four into the regular season. Neither rookie is scheduled for immediate playing time with 40-year-old Joe Flacco widely expected to be the Week 1 starter.
