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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line to start in 2026
QBCleveland Browns
March 17, 2026
The Browns' lack of moves at quarterback in free agency suggests that Sanders will be the starting quarterback to begin 2026, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Browns didn't add a quarterback in free agency and aren't currently viewed as a favorite to land Ty Simpson, the No. 2 quarterback behind Fernando Mendoza in the 2026 draft class. That leaves Sanders as the team's most sensible starter by default, and potentially sets him up for a prove-it season in 2026. A trade for Anthony Richardson or another addition at the position in the draft remains possible, however.
