Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make the second start of his career this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, and if he continues to play well, he could earn more starts for the rest of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Browns are open to giving Sanders an "extended look for the rest of the season," just as fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel got in the first half before suffering a concussion that opened the door for Sanders. Much of the Browns' decision will be determined by how Sanders plays, though. Although his numbers didn't jump off the page in his first start last weekend against the Raiders, Cleveland was impressed with his playmaking skills, aggressive downfield throws, and his ability to buy time and push the ball downfield. The Browns have also been impressed with Sanders' work ethic. The 23-year-old threw for 209 yards, one touchdown, and a pick in his first NFL start in Week 12. In Week 13 against a banged-up Niners defense, Sanders will be a QB3 in fantasy in what is expected to be inclement weather.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his second career start in a Week 13 home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Sanders looked decent in Week 12's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 11 of his 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He will look to build upon that encouraging debut in Week 13 against a 49ers defense that is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. While Sanders looked more competent than Dillon Gabriel under center, he is still tough to trust in single-quarterback fantasy leagues and is best left on the bench for Week 13's matchup.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his first career start in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders and was named the starter again in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers. Fellow rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel cleared concussion protocol, but head coach Kevin Stefanski will stick with the rookie fifth-rounder after he showed some positive moments in their Week 12 win. Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and took only one sack. It wasn't the greatest performance, with his touchdown coming on a screen pass to Dylan Sampson, who took it to 66 yards to the house, but there were things to build on. He has appeal as a QB2 in deeper leagues in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Dynasty | Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 11-of-20 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a win over the Raiders this week. Dynasty Analysis: Sanders was named the starter even with Dillon Gabriel cleared to play. Sanders was far from perfect in this one and still looks lost at times. However, he was at least able to produce a couple of chunk plays, something Gabriel has failed to do this year. We have a long way to go before treating Sanders as a long-term solution but it does look like he'll at least get a look as the season winds down. His ADP and ranking will start rising from the ashes this week, though it won't exactly be skyrocketing.

The Cleveland Browns have named rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders as their starter for their Week 13 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel (head) has cleared the concussion protocol, but the Browns will stick with Sanders after he impressed with 209 passing yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Cleveland previously said that Gabriel would return to the starting role when he was cleared of his concussion, but the Browns will go back on that statement after they liked what they saw from Sanders in Week 12. The 23-year-old went 11-for-20 passing and also threw an interception, so it's not like he went off. He'll have a solid matchup against a banged-up 49ers defense in his second career start, but he should still be viewed as a low-end QB2 option in fantasy in Week 13.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 11 of his 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while losing one yard on his lone carry in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Sanders looked much better than he did in Week 11, when he was forced into action in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens after Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion. Sanders' lone touchdown came on a short pass to Dylan Sampson, which the running back took 66 yards for the score. The Browns have yet to name their starting quarterback for Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, but Sanders' solid performance will at least make it a hard decision for the Cleveland coaching staff this week, assuming Gabriel clears the league's concussion protocol. Sanders remains a low-end fantasy option moving forward.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders appears to be in line to make his first career start in Week 12's road game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Cleveland's starting quarterback for much of the year, Dillon Gabriel (concussion), was forced from a Week 11 game early with a concussion and is unlikely to progress through the league's protocol in time to take the field on Sunday. That gives Sanders a chance to improve upon a rough NFL debut last week, which saw him complete just four of his 16 passes for 47 yards while throwing one interception and taking two sacks. The Raiders have been decent against quarterbacks this season, allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Sanders is tough to trust this weekend and settles in as a QB3 in all fantasy formats.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is expected to start in Week 12 with Dillon Gabriel in concussion protocol. Sanders will make his first NFL start against the Las Vegas Raiders after a rough debut in Week 11, where he completed just four of 16 passes for 47 yards and an interception against the Baltimore Ravens. The matchup is far more favorable this time around, as the Raiders' defense has struggled throughout the season and was even considered a potential landing spot for Sanders during the draft process. While Sanders should draw plenty of attention as Deion Sanders' son prepares for his first start, he profiles as a low-end QB3 for fantasy purposes in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his long-awaited NFL debut on Sunday against the Ravens, but the rookie struggled mightily, completing only four of his 16 pass attempts for 47 yards with an interception and adding three rushing attempts for 16 yards. With starter Dillon Gabriel working through the concussion protocol, Sanders should get most of the first-team work in practice this week, and he does bring a high ceiling with his dual-threat abilities in a favorable matchup against the Raiders in Week 12. He looked very rough in his first taste of the NFL, so he's extremely high-risk to play this week, but he does have intriguing potential if you need a desperation play in two-QB formats in what is expected to be his first NFL start.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is expected to start Sunday's game in Las Vegas against the Raiders in Week 12 with fellow rookie QB Dillon Gabriel (head) in the league's concussion protocol, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sanders will become the team's 42nd starter since 1999 this weekend, barring something unexpected. The 23-year-old fifth-rounder out of Colorado made his NFL debut in place of the injured Gabriel in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and struggled, going 4-for-16 as a passer for 47 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception. He took two sacks and also ran the ball three times for 16 yards while fumbling. Sanders will have a much easier matchup in his first career start, but more struggles wouldn't be a surprise. The Browns have said that Gabriel will return to the starting role whenever he's cleared from the concussion protocol, so Sanders doesn't deserve a big investment off the waiver wire in two-QB leagues.
