Browns lead 10-7 at halftime as Dillon Gabriel makes his NFL debut, going 13-of-21 for 102 yards and a TD while Cleveland’s defense cashes in a takeaway. Minnesota’s QB situation introduces questions as Carson Wentz exits with a shoulder issue and Max Brosmer steps in behind Walter Rouse at left tackle. This London meeting is shaping Week 5 fantasy pivots around rookie reps and backup certainty.

The unfolding QB drama could swing streamers and rosters alike: if Gabriel holds the job, Cleveland’s offense can trend toward efficient, pass-friendly drives paired with the defense’s takeaway upside; if Wentz is out longer, Brosmer’s reps become real-life fantasy leverage for Vikings stacks and potential late-week add opportunities.

In Dublin, Vikings inactives include Donovan Jackson, J.J. McCarthy, Desmond Ridder (emergency QB), Walter Rouse, Andrew Van Ginkel, and Ben Yurosek. Cam Akers is elevated to active roster for the second time, with Max Brosmer backing Carson Wentz. Steelers’ inactives are Alex Highsmith, Esezi Otemewo, Andrus Peat, Joey Porter Jr., and Jaylen Warren, whose late knee issue robs Pittsburgh of a key playmaker early. Kickoff is set for 8:00 AM Central.

The day shapes up as a test of depth for both teams: Akers’ return gives Minnesota a fresh backfield option behind Wentz, while Pittsburgh must navigate without Warren and Highsmith. Fantasy managers will want to watch how the snaps and game plan unfold as backups step into bigger roles.

With these lineups, projection chatter centers on Akers’ workload in Minnesota and the Steelers’ backfield and pass-game adjustments without Warren. Stay tuned for our in-game discussion thread as teams prepare for kickoff in Dublin.
