Shedeur Sanders
Shedeur Sanders still the favorite to start in Cleveland
1 day ago

Zac Jackson from The Athletic feels “stronger than ever that Shedeur Sanders, not Deshaun Watson, is the favorite to win the starting job” in Cleveland.

A legitimate camp battle is brewing in Cleveland, where league-average play from Shedeur Sanders, and his sack-magnet rookie profile, provides the only viable option to prevent Deshaun Watson from seeing the field. Meanwhile, Watson is the ultimate sunk cost asset, a $230 million objectively pedestrian QB ensuring the team finishes with a 7-10 record.

 

Unless Cleveland burns their premium draft capital on a rookie QB like Ty Simpson, Sanders has a real shot to seize the starting job and finally bury Watson for good. Though both Sanders and Watson are ships passing in the night at his point in their respective careers, they currently have near equivalent dynasty values.
