2026 Fantasy Football Player Profile
2025 Season Recap
Shedeur Sanders arrived in Cleveland as a fifth-round pick in 2025 and got real playing time late in the season, appearing in 8 games with 7 starts. He threw for 1,400 yards with 7 touchdowns but also 10 interceptions, a rocky ratio that reflected the turnover issues that plagued him as a rookie. That 364-yard, three-touchdown performance against Tennessee was the high point and showed legitimate NFL-level arm talent, but the interceptions are the real story that needs fixing heading into Year 2.
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Sanders is the consensus QB34 and the honest update as of mid-June is that he is currently the unofficial QB2 in Cleveland behind Watson on the depth chart. Coaches have noticed real improvements in his footwork and processing from OTAs to mandatory minicamp, and he did get first-team reps on Day 1 before splitting time with Watson. The 10 interceptions on just 212 attempts as a rookie are the real swing factor here: if that decision-making cleans up in Year 2, he has the arm talent to be a legitimate starter. Monken has not closed the door on the competition. If Sanders wins the job at some point this year, his ceiling in a Browns offense built with him in mind is something worth paying attention to. Dynasty stash all the way. Best-ball dart in 2026.
