AutoDraft Pro AI

Cleveland Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders will start against the 49ers after leading the team to a 24-10 victory over the Raiders in his first NFL start. Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, including a 52-yard bomb to Isaiah Bond and a 66-yard screen pass TD to Dylan Sampson. Coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Sanders will continue as the starter, citing the need for a thorough evaluation after his calm demeanor and flashes of downfield explosives. Sanders played with just one week of practice with the starters. His debut win also coincided with the Raiders firing their offensive coordinator.
