Top Raheim Sanders News

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Non-factor offensively Thursday

    Sanders accrued two rushes for nine yards and gathered in all two targets for seven yards during Thursday's 27-24 win versus the Steelers.

    Sanders logged 22 offensive snaps, his second-highest mark of the 2026 campaign. However, the 24-year-old was a non-factor offensively. Instead, it was Jaleel McLaughlin who took advantage of his limited workload by scoring a 28-yard rushing touchdown early in the second quarter. While Sanders should remain the No. 2 back on the depth chart behind Quinshon Judkins, assuming the latter stays healthy, he will be difficult to trust from a fantasy standpoint moving ahead.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Catches sole target in win

    Sanders caught his sole target for seven yards, had two rushes for four yards and returned two kickoffs for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.

    Sanders played 11 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. Despite the small snap share, Sanders found plenty to do in Cleveland's first win of the season, making key plays for both the offensive and special-teams units.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Slated for increased role sans Sampson

    Sanders will have the opportunity to work in an expanded role in the Browns' offense after Dylan Sampson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Petrak of BrownsZone reports.

    Sampson injured his knee on a kickoff return during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars, and he'll be required to miss at least the next four games while on IR. Sanders finished that game with three catches on as many targets for 25 yards along with a one-yard carry, but moving forward, he should see more offensive snaps as the Browns' RB2 behind Quinshon Judkins, with Jaleel McLaughlin slotting in as the No. 3 backfield option. The Browns will stay on the road for a Week 2 tilt against the Buccaneers, whose defense gave up 106 rushing yards and one touchdown on 27 carries (3.9 YPC) in a 33-27 loss to the Bengals in Week 1.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Catches three passes in blowout loss

    Sanders caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and added one carry for one yard in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars. He also returned three kickoffs for 130 yards.

    Sanders had an opportunity to mix into the offense after Dylan Sampson (knee) sustained an injury during the Week 1 contest. Sanders played 18 of the 51 offensive snaps for the Browns while also making an impact with his trio of kickoff returns. Quinshon Judkins remains the unquestioned leader of the Browns' ground attack, but Sanders would be in line to serve as his primary backup in a Week 2 road matchup against the Buccaneers if Sampson remains sidelined.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Six touches in finale

    Sanders had five carries for 26 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18.

    Due to injuries in the backfield, Sanders operated as the No. 2 back for a third consecutive game. The undrafted rookie landed with the Browns a week before the start of the regular season and played four games. He finished with 27 carries for 92 yards, and three receptions on four targets for 21 yards. Sanders could return for 2026, but change is coming in Cleveland. The statuses of head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry are a popular topic. A new regime -- front office or coaching or, most likely, both -- would indicate roster changes are coming. If Sanders survives, he'll still operate as running back depth behind Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Held to 31 yards

    Sanders rushed the ball eight times for 21 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers. He added one reception on two targets for 10 yards.

    Sanders worked closely behind Dylan Sampson in the Cleveland backfield, logging nine touches to Sampson's 14. Sanders was unable to get much going on the ground, with his longest rush going for only six yards. He should maintain a split in the Browns' backfield heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Bengals, though his fantasy appeal remains minimal.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Records 12 touches in loss

    Sanders rushed 11 times for 42 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Quinshon Judkins exited the game in the second quarter with what was eventually diagnosed as a broken fibula and dislocated ankle, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, and Sanders finished as the team leader in rush attempts. Backfield mate Trayveon Williams operated more as a change-of-pace option, and although Judkins will naturally miss the final two games of the season, Sanders and Williams could be joined by Dylan Sampson, who logged a second straight absence due to calf and hand injuries, for a Week 17 home matchup against the Steelers next Sunday, which would muddy the outlook for all three backs to a degree.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Activated but does not play

    Sanders was added to the active roster but did not play in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Bears in Week 15.

    Sanders was poised to pick up some opportunities for the first time since the season opener, as both Dylan Sampson (calf) and Jerome Ford (shoulder) were unavailable, but it was the newly signed Trayveon Williams who served as the top backup to Quinshon Judkins. It speaks volumes that Sanders, who has been with the team all season and is familiar with the playbook, did not get on the field.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Inactive Sunday

    Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

    Sanders hasn't played since the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Bengals, where he rushed three times on three snaps. The team will go with a three-man backfield with Quinshon Judkins, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson again.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Healthy scratch again

    Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Sanders played three snaps on offense during the Browns' season-opening loss to the Bengals but has not seen the field since. The Browns will go with a three-man backfield of Quinshon Judkins, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson again.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Healthy scratch vs. Pittsburgh

    Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    The undrafted rookie played three snaps on offense during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Bengals but has not played since. The Browns will go with a three-man backfield of Quinshon Judkins, Jerome Ford and Dylan Sampson for Sunday's AFC North tilt.

  • Browns' Raheim Sanders: Sitting out in Week 2

    Sanders (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Sanders suited up as the Browns' No. 3 running back in the team's 17-16 loss to the Bengals in the season opener and was able to make an impact in his limited snaps, finishing with three yards and a touchdown on three carries. However, with rookie second-round pick Quinshon Judkins (not injury related) having been reinstated from the commissioner's exempt list and added back to the 53-man roster after turning in full practices Thursday and Friday, Sanders will slide to fourth on the depth chart at running back and won't dress Sunday. Unless the Browns lose Judkins, Jerome Ford or Dylan Sampson to an injury in a given week, inactive statuses could start to become the norm for Sanders, an undrafted rookie out of South Carolina.
