"Sanders was selected by Cleveland in the fifth round of April's draft. He completed a class-best 74% of his passes and avoided INTs (1.43%) in his two seasons at Colorado (24 starts), though it's worth noting he was conservative (7.4 aDOT is third lowest in this class) and took a ton of sacks (8.64% rate, second highest). He adds a bit with his legs (117-687-8 line during his time at Colorado), which will help his fantasy stock if he moves ahead of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel and takes over Cleveland's starting gig. Sanders is worth drafting only in dynasty and superflex."

"The Browns did score two touchdowns in the win, but neither had anything to do with Sanders and the offense -- Devin Bush had a 97-yard INT return in the first quarter, and Sam Webb took a fumble 47 yards to the house in the second. Sanders, a fifth-round rookie, wraps up his first NFL season having completed just 56.6 percent (120-for-212) of his passes with a 7:10 TD:INT in eight games, and he likely hasn't done enough to convince Cleveland not to look for an upgrade at quarterback in the offseason."

"Taylor is returning for his 15th NFL season, including his second straight as the primary backup for the Jets. Of course, after backing up Aaron Rodgers last season, Taylor will serve the same role behind newcomer Justin Fields in 2025. Taylor only attempted 22 passes last season and has averaged 68.7 attempts per season since 2018, maxing out with 180 in 2023. Taylor still adds a little bit of value with his legs and that helped him to three 17-plus fantasy point showings in four full games back in 2023. The 36-year-old is not worth your attention on draft day and, if called on to start, will be no more than a back-end QB2."

"Taylor was deemed a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a lingering knee issue. He downgraded to a non-participant Friday, but the Jets labeled the reason as "personal," and Taylor has been cleared to suit up against the Patriots. For the second straight week, he'll work as the backup QB behind rookie Brady Cook."
