Browns will start QB Shedeur Sanders preseason Week 1

Aug 05, 2025

Shedeur Sanders, the Browns’ fourth-team quarterback who has yet to take a snap with the first-team offense, is expected to start the game, a league source tells cleveland.com.

Related players: Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, Tyler Hundley

Fantasy Impact:

There may not be much news here to be quite honest. Both Pickett and Gabriel are dealing with injuries and Flacco doesn't need to see time in a preseason game ... so Sanders gets his chance. A lot was made about the Browns recently-released depth chart and so Sanders can maybe make a move upward with a solid performance. Recently-signed Tyler Hundley will also likely see time in the game.

Talking on @953WDAE, Bucs GM Jason Licht frames Chris Godwin’s return as likely October (Week 5 or later), saying Tristan Wirfs might be a little sooner.

Related Players: Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan

Fantasy Impact:

This is about the timeline that we thought he'd be on, but it's still a little confusing why the team took him off of PUP. Regardless, we should consider Evans a WR2 and Egbuka a WR3 as we head into drafts this weekend.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill returns to practice, expected to be ready for Week 1

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a minor procedure. Goal is “Septemberish” return per HC Mike McDaniel. Expected to miss multiple weeks.

Miami signing RBs JaMycal Hasty & Jeff Wilson to practice squad.

McDaniel: De’Von Achane (calf) & Tyreek Hill (oblique) on track to play WK1.

Related Players: Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington

Fantasy Impact:

After a summer filled with bad vibes, it's good to see Hill back out on the practice field. He's been a bit of a shy-away through most of drafting season, but now he's often falling into the fourth round, it makes selecting him a little easier to swallow. With or without Hill, Waddle is a sneaky upside target after a down year.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright to miss "some time" after "small procedure"

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a "small procedure" done that isn't season-ending but will take some time to recover from, per McDaniel

Miami has signed RBs Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty in response

Related Players: De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon

Fantasy Impact:

This looks like wheels-up for Ollie Gordon, who has been steamed up after Wright missed time this preseason. Achane is still the back we want in this backfield, but Gordon looks like a great double-digit stab who could mix in enough to warrant FLEX appeal during bye weeks.
