The Browns announced that Gabriel will start Sunday's game against the Vikings in London, Kelsey Russo of the team's official site reports.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the rookie third-round pick will take over the top job from Joe Flacco, who will move into the No. 2 role, who led the Browns to a 1-3 record through the first four games of the season. Fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders, meanwhile, will remain third on the depth chart. Gabriel possesses more mobility than Flacco, who had been hit 19 times over the last two games according to Cleveland.com. The signal-caller's ability to provide some scrambling ability could prove to be helpful behind an offensive line that's been without both its starting tackles of late. That said, Gabriel could preside over a run-based attack headlined by rookie running back Quinshon Judkins, which could limit the quarterback's passing volume and his overall fantasy appeal.

Hopkins failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Hopkins was a complete non-factor Sunday, failing to record a single catch while playing just 18 of the Ravens' 54 offensive snaps. The veteran wideout's one target was his lowest total of the season after seeing two targets in each of the first three games. Despite his stature as a five-time Pro Bowl selection, Hopkins isn't seeing consistent enough volume to be relied to be relied upon for fantasy purposes.

Washington caught one of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.

Washington was unable to get much going in his return from a concussion that sidelined him for the past two games. The second-year wideout played the second-most offensive snaps (34) of any Falcons wideout, behind just Drake London (55) and ahead of Darnell Mooney (29), Ray-Ray McCloud (23) and David Sills (15). Despite the solid playing time in his return, Washington should remain far off the fantasy radar going forward, barring injuries. The Falcons enter their bye week in Week 5 before hosting the Bills in Week 6.

McCloud caught one of two targets for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.

McCloud was a complete nonfactor Sunday while playing 23 of the Falcons' 65 offensive snaps behind fellow wide receivers Drake London (55), Casey Washington (34) and Darnell Mooney (29). The veteran wideout has had a quiet start to the 2025 campaign, totaling six catches on 14 targets for 64 yards through four games. With teammates London, Mooney, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson absorbing so many targets in Atlanta's aerial attack, McCloud faces a difficult path to consistent usage barring injuries. The 28-year-old remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the team heads into its Week 5 bye before hosting the Bills in Week 6.

Bryant failed to reel in his lone target in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

Bryant played 34 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Monday, his highest snap share of the season. Despite the increased playing time, the rookie wideout was unable to make much noise in Denver's blowout win over the Bengals. Bryant's only target from quarterback Bo Nix was on a fade route in the end zone, but the two were unable to connect. Nonetheless, the 22-year-old should continue to develop and could push for more playing time as the season progresses, especially if the wide receiving corps is affected by the injury bug at some point. Bryant should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Eagles in Week 5.

Trautman caught two of three targets for 32 yards in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

Trautman had another quiet day in Week 4; however, his 32 receiving yards accounted for his highest total of the season thus far. The veteran tight end played 42 of the Broncos' 81 offensive snaps, ahead of both Evan Engram (35) and Nate Adkins (34). Even so, Engram was predictably a much larger part of Denver's offensive plans, earning seven targets in the contest. Based on his lack of consistent usage in the passing game, Trautman remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Eagles.

Amos tallied four tackles (two solo) in Sunday's Week 4 loss to Atlanta.

Amos suffered a calf injury in Week 3 against the Raiders but was able to take the field one week later. He logged season highs with a 91 percent defensive snap share and four tackles. Amos has posted nine tackles and four defensed passes through his first four NFL games.

Wright recorded four tackles (four solo) in the Bears' win over the Raiders on Sunday.

With Jaylon Johnson (groin) missing most of the first four games of the season and looking at an extended absence, Wright has been serving as an every-down cornerback on the outside for Chicago. Through four games, he has 19 tackles (13 solo) and one pass breakup, including a pick-six.

Sewell recorded five tackles (one solo) in the Bears' win over the Raiders on Sunday.

With T.J. Edwards (hamstring) still battling his injury, Sewell started for the third time in four contests and played 96 percent of the defensive snaps against Las Vegas. Chicago has a Week 5 bye, and Edwards could potentially return after the open date. Through four games, Sewell has 30 tackles (17 solo), including a pair of TFLs.

Thornhill recorded three tackles (two solo) in the Steelers' win over the Vikings on Sunday.

DeShon Elliott and Chuck Clark started at safety for the Steelers against Minnesota, but Thornhill out-snapped Clark 50 to 31 behind Elliott's 100 percent playing-time clip. Through four games, Thornhill has recorded 25 tackles (14 solo), one pass breakup and one fumble recovery.
