Shedeur Sanders currently serves as the backup quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, though he recently displayed potential during an overtime defeat against the New Orleans Saints.
Performance in First Start
During his initial start of the season, Sanders recorded 297 passing yards along with two touchdown passes.
Upcoming Matchup and Quarterback Status
Deshaun Watson missed Sunday’s game but has successfully cleared the concussion protocol, leaving open the possibility of his return in Week 10 against the Houston Texans, which is his former team.
Facing Houston presents a difficult challenge for whichever quarterback takes the field, though the potential for the Browns to trail in the game could lead to a high volume of passing plays.
Managers should consider keeping Sanders on their bench for at least one week as insurance in case Watson remains sidelined, while Cleveland also has a bye week in Week 11 should the team choose to proceed with caution regarding their starter.
