After four weeks, Joe Flacco has emerged as the winner of the Cleveland Browns' four-way quarterback competition. The Browns announced on Monday that Flacco will get the start when the Browns host AFC North rival Cincinnati in the Sept. 7 opener.

With two preseason games under their belt and performances from Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel on tape, the Cleveland Browns have reportedly made their decision on who will start at quarterback to begin the 2025 season.

Joe Flacco’s career sparks Hall of Fame debate, with Super Bowl heroics and stats weighed against a lack of accolades.

The veteran Browns QB has experience playing against Vic Fangio defenses, and likes what he’s seen from his current group at joint practices.

2025 Outlook: Flacco is the favorite to start off the season and is likely the best option for Browns’ pass catchers in fantasy outside of Sanders. The biggest question will be how long is he the starter and will it be worth it figuring the Browns won’t be a great team regardless.
