Flacco is Browns’ starter by default in an unusual quarterback window, providing veteran steadiness behind a solid run game and defense. His fantasy upside hinges on game script and efficiency, with a conservative floor but limited ceiling if he’s asked to push the ball downfield consistently.

Shedeur Sanders, Browns quarterback, was on the receiving end of Scourton’s preseason sack in a recent game, tying his path to the storyline surrounding the joint practice. Sanders is referenced in the article’s context of the prior preseason clash.

The Browns’ QB room sits at six strong with Watson, Flacco, Pickett, Gabriel, Sanders, and Huntley. The two rookies have started preseason games and are in a battle for future depth behind Watson. The chatter around Gabriel’s comments and the Sanders-Gabriel dynamic adds a palpable fantasy intrigue as Cleveland navigates development versus immediate help.

Tyler Huntley rounds out the Browns’ six-QB roster, offering another veteran backup option. While not a likely Week 1 contributor, Huntley’s mobility and experience provide a stabilizing presence in practice and late-game scenarios. Fantasy relevance is minimal unless an injury creates a meaningful role, but Huntley’s skill may help the team maintain a balanced QB room for development.

Deshaun Watson is the established starter in a crowded Browns QB room. His health and performance are the fulcrums around which the rookies' development and backup plans pivot. The coaching staff is evaluating depth to ensure Watson’s durability while maintaining a pipeline for future leadership and quarterback depth. Fantasy relevance remains high for Watson, with backups serving as buffers rather than primary options.
