Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Will start rest of season
Shedeur Sanders will start at quarterback for the remainder of the season, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.Sanders broke out in a big way in Week 14, throwing for 364 yards, running for 29 more and totaling four touchdowns, and he showed enough to remain under center for the Cleveland Browns the rest of the way. Before most fantasy football seasons end in Week 17, Sanders will have a couple favorable matchups sandwiched around a tough one, as -- in order -- the Bears, Bills and Steelers line up next on Cleveland's schedule.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: First breakout game of career
Shedeur Sanders completed 23 of 42 passes for 364 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding three rushes for 29 yards and another score in the Cleveland Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans on Sunday.Sanders' final line emphasizes the breakout quality of the rookie's performance, which was fueled by a 60-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy, another pair of passing scores to David Njoku (one yard) and Harold Fannin (seven yards), and a seven-yard rush TD, with the latter two plays occurring in the fourth quarter. Head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to take the ball out of Sanders' hands during an attempt at a game-tying two-point conversion after the touchdown pass to Fannin, but it was otherwise another significant step in the right direction for the fifth-round pick. Sanders showed increasing command of the offense by spreading the ball around to eight different targets, and he'll next make a trip to Soldier Field to face off with the Bears next Sunday.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Tosses TD in Week 13 loss
Shedeur Sanders completed 16 of 25 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown and added six rushing yards on his only carry in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.Both teams' passing attacks struggled to deal with the high winds in Cleveland, and Sanders also briefly left the game in the fourth quarter to get checked out for an ankle injury, but the rookie played reasonably well while he was on the field. The Cleveland Browns briefly held an 8-7 lead early in the second quarter when Sanders found Harold Fannin for a 34-yard touchdown that was then followed up by a Quinshon Judkins two-point conversion, but the Niners dominated the rest of the way. Per Zac Jackson of The Athletic, head coach Kevin Stefanski has already named Sanders his starting quarterback for a Week 14 tilt against the Titans in a game that could have big implications for the top of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Could start rest of season
The Cleveland Browns are open to using Shedeur Sanders as their starting quarterback for the rest of the 2025 season, depending on how he fares during his ensuing starts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Sanders made his first NFL start in the Browns' Week 12 win over the Raiders, completing11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He drew the start for that game after Dillon Gabriel was placed in concussion protocol following Cleveland's Week 11 loss to Baltimore. Despite Gabriel clearing the protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Sanders will retain the starting job, and the former could be in line to hang on to the job for the balance of the season.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Officially named Week 13 starter
Coach Kevin Stefanski named Shedeur Sanders as the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback for next Sunday's game against the 49ers.Even though Dillon Gabriel cleared concussion protocol Monday, Sanders will get the nod against San Francisco after he helped guide the Browns to a 24-10 win over the Raiders on Sunday. Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes (55 percent) for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Las Vegas, showing some deep-ball touch on a 52-yard shot to Isaiah Bond down to the two-yard line in the process. Sanders' matchup against the Niners will be favorable on paper, as San Francisco is dealing with a boat load of injuries on the defensive side of the ball, but it's fair to question if Sanders has enough of a floor-ceiling combo to warrant consideration for fantasy lineups.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Likely to be named Week 13 starter
Shedeur Sanders will be named the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback for Week 13 against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Even with Dillon Gabriel clearing the concussion protocol, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, coach Kevin Stefanski is expected to name Sanders as the Browns' starter versus San Francisco. Sanders made his first career start in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders, completing just 11 of 20 passes (55 percent) for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception. His 52-yard deep shot to Isaiah Bond was easily Sanders' most impressive throw of the day, as Dylan Sampson did all the work after the catch on a 66-yard touchdown that came on a dump-off at the line of scrimmage. Sanders will have a chance to build on his performance against a depleted and injury-riddled 49ers defense next Sunday. Sanders carries extremely minimal fantasy value.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Victorious in first NFL start
Shedeur Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders. He also rushed once for minus-1 yard.Sanders became the first Cleveland Browns quarterback to win his first career start since 1995. His first NFL touchdown pass came on a 66-yard screen pass to fellow rookie Day 3 draft pick Dylan Sampson in the fourth quarter. Sanders flashed some impressive playmaking ability early, escaping the pocket before uncorking a deep ball on the run for a 52-yard pass to Isaiah Bond, which set up Quinshon Judkins' second touchdown run of the first quarter on the next play. After the game, head coach Kevin Stefanski wouldn't commit to Sanders starting in Week 13 against the 49ers, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dillon Gabriel remains in concussion protocol but is making progress and participated in Friday's practice.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Set to start Sunday
Shedeur Sanders will draw the start at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday against the Raiders, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.Per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, coach Kevin Stefanski noted Wednesday that Dillon Gabriel remains in concussion protocol, which sets the stage for Sanders -- who stepped in at QB after Gabriel exited the Browns' Week 11 loss to the Ravens -- to make his first career NFL regular-season start this weekend. When asked whether Sanders might hold on the the starting assignment beyond Week 12, Stefanski said that he won't look beyond Sunday. In any case, Sanders represents a lineup option for those in need of signal-caller help, especially with four teams on bye.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Will take snaps with No. 1 offense
Shedeur Sanders will get his first practice reps with the first-team offense Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.This news was expected in light of Dillon Gabriel landing in the NFL's concussion protocol. Sanders' only work through the spring, training camp, preseason and in-season practices had come with other backups and young players. That was even the practice when Sanders was elevated to the No. 2 quarterback. That he'll practice with the starting offense this week indicates Sanders will make his first NFL start against Las Vegas on Sunday. Gabriel would need to practice by Thursday to alter that plan.

Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Trending toward Week 12 start
Shedeur Sanders is expected to start Sunday's game against the Raiders with Dillon Gabriel working his way through the concussion protocol, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski stated Monday that the team wouldn't provide an update on the quarterback situation until Wednesday, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, but it appears Sanders is likely to draw the first start of his career unless Gabriel's recovery proceeds quicker than anticipated. During Cleveland's loss to Cincinnati in Week 11, Sanders entered in relief of an injured Gabriel to begin the second half but struggled to string anything together on offense, completing just four of 16 pass attempts for 47 yards and an interception. The rookie fifth-rounder also rushed three times for 16 yards. When the Browns return to practice Wednesday, expect Sanders to handle first-team reps as he works to ready himself for a more convincing performance on the road against Las Vegas.
