Week 10 – Taylor Gabriel at Cincinnati Bengals
The 5-3 Browns have been a pleasant surprise, and one of the reasons for Cleveland’s unexpected success is Taylor Gabriel. The undrafted free agent from Abilene Christian, which is also the same school Cleveland running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery attended, had his best day as a pro Sunday, catching five passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. If Andrew Hawkins is limited or unable to play Thursday night, Gabriel would in theory be Cleveland’s top receiver. Nonetheless, the Browns still utilize a balanced approach in the passing game and the Bengals don’t give up a lot of touchdown passes. Gabriel needs to be viewed as a WR4 even with a bunch of teams taking the week off.
