Trends

"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."

Bryce Young

Pos: QB1 Team: CAR YoE: 3
Draft: RD 1, PICK 1
Injury Status: H

Trends

"Young is entering his third NFL season looking to carry over the momentum from a strong finish to 2024. After a tough rookie campaign, the 2023 No. 1 pick was briefly benched last season prior to making a big leap once back in the lineup. Young played 10 full games from Week 8 on and averaged 18.0 fantasy PPG, which would've ranked 10th over the full season. He posted a pair of top-2 fantasy weeks in his final three outings. Young threw multiple passing TDs in each of those final three games, but perhaps most notable was his leap as a rusher (30-208-5 during his final eight games after totaling 294 yards and one TD in his first 22 pro games). Young still has a lot to prove, but the 23-year-old's late-season surge, as well as the arrival of first-round WR Tetairoa McMillan, is enough to make him worth late-round consideration on draft day."

"Young finished with an exponentially more aesthetic stat line than in his forgettable 54-yard performance against the Seahawks in a Week 17 loss, but the end result was still the same for his team. The third-year signal-caller spread the ball around plenty, connecting with nine different targets. Young hit Tommy Tremble and Jalen Coker for his pair of eight-yard scoring tosses, while his one interception came on the first play after the two-minute warning in the first half at Tampa Bay's 42-yard line and led to a Bucs field goal. Young's passing yardage total was his second highest since Week 3, and he wraps up the 2025 regular season with career highs in completion percentage (63.6), passing yardage (3,011), touchdown passes (23) and interceptions (11) across 16 games. Young and his teammates will pull for the Falcons to defeat the Saints on Sunday and make the Panthers the NFC South champions in the process, thereby allowing them to continue their season in next weekend's wild-card round."

	Bryce Young's rushing yards have increased by 300+% over the past 8 weeks.
	Bryce Young's passing yards have decreased by 52.45% over the past 6 weeks.
	Bryce Young's passing yards per attempt has decreased by 44.91% over the past 6 weeks.
	Bryce Young's rushing yards per attempt has increased by 104.08% over the past 6 weeks.
	Bryce Young's interceptions have decreased by 75.0% over the past 8 weeks.
