Shedeur Sanders

Sanders' debut was uneven. He appeared in seven games starting from Week 11, finishing QB36 overall at 11.4 points per game–a number heavily inflated by a 33.5-point explosion in Week 14. Strip that out and he averaged 7.7 points in his other six appearances. His efficiency metrics were concerning in limited action: a -0.227 EPA per dropback and a negative CPOE in just 212 attempts, both well below the qualified threshold to draw firm conclusions but alarming nonetheless. He's competing again with Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel entering Year 2. The situation is better than it was a season ago. Cleveland's WR room welcomes talented rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston alongside an established Jerry Jeudy, and Harold Fannin Jr. should be able to handle any leftovers from David Njoku’s departure. Todd Monken is in as the new head coach. Sanders is not a rushing threat by profile, which keeps the floor low relative to other young QBs. In 2QB or superflex leagues, a second-year quarterback with starting aspirations and a receiving corps that's genuinely better than it was is worth a late-round flier.
