Raheim Sanders Fantasy Overview

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins managed just 33 yards on 12 carries in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Jaguars. He added 2 catches for 17 yards on 2 targets but ceded some passing-game work to Raheim Sanders. RB Dylan Sampson left in the first quarter with a knee injury that reportedly had him on crutches after the game.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson suffered a knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He headed back to the locker room and is questionable to return. We'll update Sampson's status when we know more. His absence leaves Cleveland's backfield to Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders.

Update: Sampson has been ruled out.

Browns RB Dylan Sampson (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He was limited in practice all week. The rookie has been sidelined since Week 14. If he’s able to return for this one, he’d be the best bet for touches in Cleveland’s Quinshon Judkins-less backfield and land in RB3 territory in the Week 17 rankings. We’ll look for further updates on Sampson’s status and get the Browns’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. If he’s out, Raheim Sanders will likely operate as the lead early-down back, with Trayveon Williams handling passing downs.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins suffered a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo, per HC Kevin Stefanski. Meanwhile, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said after the game that the team is also evaluating the rookie for a knee injury. We'll keep an eye on his recovery timeline, but Judkins is sure to miss at least a chunk of the offseason program. In his place, Cleveland may ride Raheim Sanders and Trayveon Williams. On Sunday, Sanders held the edge in carries (11-3) with Williams leading the backfield in targets (4-1). Note: Jerome Ford is on injured reserve, while rookie Dylan Sampson missed today's game with a hand injury.
