The Browns beat Philadelphia in a brisk preseason showdown in Philly, but the real storylines loop around roster decisions and star power. Myles Garrett didn’t play, yet his arrival back in Cleveland for a walk-to-stage moment with Morgan Wallen still dominated chatter, underscoring how Cleveland blends elite talent with burgeoning depth. Cleveland’s QB battle remains unsettled, with Dillon Gabriel fueling optimism and intrigue as the team readies for Week 1 against Cincinnati.

The Browns close the exhibition slate at home versus the Rams, but Week 1’s Bengals test looms largest for fantasy managers. The QB competition, Garrett’s health status, and how the defensive depth chart shakes out will shape Week 1 projections. Brown’s rosters decisions will also ripple through pass-catching opportunities and backfield splits as Cleveland builds toward a full-strength showdown.
