In 2024, he led the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/shedeur-sanders-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FBS by completing 74% of his passes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In his two years, he completed 71.8% of his passes, which is an FBS record. Accuracy was not the problem for Sanders. He threw for over 4,000 yards and had 37 touchdowns. Sanders&#8217; biggest concern was that he took many sacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sanders Dynasty Price<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/keeptradecut.com\/dynasty-rankings\/players\/shedeur-sanders-1731\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KeepTradeCut<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a website that crowdsources dynasty values from players who use the site, Sanders is the QB31. He was the QB23 before the Draft, so fantasy managers are concerned about his fall in the Draft. He is behind <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/07\/geno-smith-fantasy-football-outlook-after-blockbuster-trade\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Geno Smith<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/10\/2025-nfl-draft-scouting-report-jalen-milroe-alabama\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jalen Milroe<\/a>, and Matthew Stafford while ahead of Russell Wilson, Joe Milton, and Daniel Jones. Sanders has fallen to the QB4 in the rookie quarterback ranks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the Draft, in Superflex Dynasty Rookie Drafts, Sanders was projected to be a late first-round to early second-round pick, depending on how deep the leagues are. With him falling in the Draft, he will probably be either the third or fourth quarterback taken in rookie drafts. Ward will go first, followed by Dart, and then it is either Sanders or Milroe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sanders Dynasty Outlook<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Browns&#8217; quarterback room is a mess. Deshaun Watson is still on the team, but he is expected to miss most of 2025, if not the entire year, with an Achilles injury. They re-signed 40-year-old Joe Flacco and traded for Kenny Pickett. They drafted Gabriel in the third round of the Draft. This quarterback room is wide open for anyone to win the job. Sanders has as good a chance as any of these guys to be the starter. Talent-wise, Sanders is a first or second-round talent. Every draft analyst had Sanders ranked ahead of Gabriel. None of these guys are long-term concerns for Sanders. This was still one of the best landing spots for Sanders in terms of being able to be the Day 1 Starter. Hopefully, Sanders uses the fall as fuel and motivation to prove every team wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Browns want to be a run-first team, as shown by drafting both <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/04\/25\/nick-chubb-future-browns-select-quinshon-judkins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Quinshon Judkins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/03\/10\/dylan-sampson-2025-nfl-draft-scouting-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Dylan Sampson<\/a>. The wide receiver room is not great behind <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/12\/20\/jerry-jeudy-browns-wide-receiver-dynasty-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jerry Jeudy<\/a> and Cedric Tillman. David Njoku is a solid tight end. These are good, not great weapons for whoever the quarterback is.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Should You Draft Shedeur Sanders in Dynasty Leagues?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, buy the fall on Sanders. Ward is the only rookie quarterback with a better chance of starting Day 1 of the season. Both Dart and Milroe will be sitting on the bench to start the season, barring any injuries. Sanders has a higher floor than either of those two guys. If Sanders starts to fall in dynasty rookie drafts, he is worth drafting, as he has the talent to be a solid starting quarterback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Image: Ben Lonergan\/The Register-Guard \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shedeur Sanders has been the talk of the NFL Draft.
