Commanders hold out Bill Croskey-Merritt from preseason finale

Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters Saturday it’s “not much of a decision” in regards to keeping four quarterbacks on the roster.

“We have a room that we like all the guys in there,” Berry said. “We don’t really see that as a problem. We more see it as an opportunity.”

The Browns had already announced Joe Flacco as the starter for Week 1 against the Bengals. Even with Kenny Pickett missing time, he seemed likely to stick around and the Browns didn’t give the sense they were going to cut either rookie quarterback in Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that all four quarterbacks start at least one game this season and that their quarterback of the future is somewhere playing on Saturdays this season.

Trade: Commanders are trading RB Brian Robinson to the 49ers in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jacory Crosky-Merritt, Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo

This is awful news for Guerendo drafters, but with all the injuries to the 49ers' running back room, they needed a dependable body in the room. This dings McCaffrey a little bit, but his passing-game involvement should be enough to secure another top-10 (or higher finish), while Robinson will pick up most of the slack and deliver as a FLEX play in tough weeks.

Back in Washington, Crosky-Merritt should be boosted out of low-end RB4 territory into an RB3 while Ekeler has some sneaky upside to finish in the same range.

Vikings have inquired about trading for Panthers WR Adam Thielen, per league sources.

With WR Jordan Addison serving a three-game suspension and Jalen Nailor dealing with a hand injury, Thielen could wind up starting opening night for the Vikings if they can complete the trade.

We're projecting a pretty run-heavy approach for Minnesota this season, so it's hard to imagine Thielen providing a lot of long-term fantasy production. This does help McCarthy's floor as a low-end QB2.
