Kenny Pickett is expected to be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL season. Despite competition from Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and veteran Joe Flacco, Pickett is favored due to his mobility and fit in Kevin Stefanski's offense, which emphasizes play-action and movement.

Pickett's preseason performance, completing 13 of 15 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns, highlights his potential. His chemistry with Diontae Johnson and the Browns' offensive weapons, including Amari Cooper and David Njoku, positions him as a low-end QB2 in fantasy leagues. His ability to extend plays and limit turnovers could enhance the Browns' offensive efficiency.

For fantasy managers, Pickett offers upside in superflex leagues, particularly if he capitalizes on his rushing ability. His role as a potential QB1 for the Browns makes him a viable option for those seeking a quarterback with a high ceiling in 2025.
