2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sanders’ fall was the story of the draft, with various theories offered to explain why. In a nutshell, his slide to the fifth round means the league believes his raw talent isn't overwhelming enough to overcome his flaws, making him a likely backup at best. Sanders had an FBS-high 74.0 completion percentage last season, and he threw 64 touchdowns against just 13 interceptions during two seasons as Colorado's starter. He’s an accurate passer, but with merely average arm strength, and he's surprisingly slow for the son of Deion Sanders. Even so, Cleveland’s QB situation gives Sanders a chance to start. Dillon Gabriel, the Browns’ third-round pick, is undersized and without an elite trait. Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett are the veteran options, at least until Deshaun Watson returns from Achilles' surgery (which may not happen until late in the season, if at all). The situation gives Sanders a shot at Year 1 playing time despite his draft-day slide, but arm strength and mobility look like limiting factors for fantasy value even if he proves competent as a pro.

Faces top defensive unit Wednesday
While working with the second-unit, Sanders went up against the Browns' top defensive squad during Wednesday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
With Kenny Pickett sidelined indefinitely with a hamstring injury, Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel and Sanders have been handling the team's QB snaps in practice. For now Flacco continues to see most of the first-team reps in Pickett's absence, while Gabriel has occasionally sprinkled in with the top unit. For his part, Sanders has yet to work with the starting offense thus far.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not concerned about pecking order
Sanders isn't expressing concern about the limited reps he's received thus far during the Browns' four-way quarterback job battle, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fifth-round pick is the only one of the four signal-callers -- Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel being the other three -- that has yet to log a first-team rep through three training camp practices. Nevertheless, Sanders noted the distribution of reps is not in his control and added he therefore wouldn't spend any time thinking about the situation. Sanders did get one session with the second-team offense in Friday's 11-on-11 drills, and head coach Kevin Stefanski previously said he'd reassess the quarterback pecking order during the second week of camp.
