News
- Sanders accrued two rushes for nine yards and gathered in both of his two targets for seven yards during Thursday's 27-24 win versus the Steelers.
Sanders logged 22 offensive snaps, his second-highest mark of the 2026 campaign. However, the 24-year-old was a non-factor offensively. Instead, it was Jaleel McLaughlin who took advantage of his limited workload by scoring a 28-yard rushing touchdown early in the second quarter. While Sanders should remain the No. 2 back on the depth chart behind Quinshon Judkins, assuming the latter stays healthy, he will be difficult to trust from a fantasy standpoint moving ahead.
RotoWire via ESPN - Sanders caught his sole target for seven yards, had two rushes for four yards and returned two kickoffs for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.
Sanders played 11 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. Despite the small snap share, Sanders found plenty to do in Cleveland's first win of the season, making key plays for both the offensive and special-teams units.
RotoWire via ESPN - Sanders will have the opportunity to work in an expanded role in the Browns' offense after Dylan Sampson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Petrak of BrownsZone reports.
Sampson injured his knee on a kickoff return during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars, and he'll be required to miss at least the next four games while on IR. Sanders finished that game with three catches on as many targets for 25 yards along with a one-yard carry, but moving forward, he should see more offensive snaps as the Browns' RB2 behind Quinshon Judkins, with Jaleel McLaughlin slotting in as the No. 3 backfield option. The Browns will stay on the road for a Week 2 tilt against the Buccaneers, whose defense gave up 106 rushing yards and one touchdown on 27 carries (3.9 YPC) in a 33-27 loss to the Bengals in Week 1.
RotoWire via ESPN - Sanders caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and added one carry for one yard in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars. He also returned three kickoffs for 130 yards.
Sanders had an opportunity to mix into the offense after Dylan Sampson (knee) sustained an injury during the Week 1 contest. Sanders played 18 of the 51 offensive snaps for the Browns while also making an impact with his trio of kickoff returns. Quinshon Judkins remains the unquestioned leader of the Browns' ground attack, but Sanders would be in line to serve as his primary backup in a Week 2 road matchup against the Buccaneers if Sampson remains sidelined.
