Todd Monken: Shedeur Sanders has "improved so much"

Browns QB rep division plan after Deshaun Watson's start

Scoring Zone's Take

For Sanders, this is a modest positive signal worth monitoring. Getting real practice reps alongside Watson keeps him in the conversation and makes him a name to track in late rounds or as a stash in dynasty/deep-league formats, but there's nothing here confirming a path to the starting job or meaningful in-season snaps.

Given the low confidence (50%) on both sources and the vague nature of "reps to be divided," treat this as speculative training-camp noise rather than a confirmed depth-chart shift. Don't reach for either player early in drafts based on this alone. Watson remains a low-QB2/streamer-type target with downside risk; Sanders is a speculative late add or bench stash, not a lock for meaningful rookie-season fantasy production. Revisit both valuations once the Browns name a clear starter — this situation is fluid and worth monitoring through the rest of camp and preseason before finalizing your rankings.

After Deshaun Watson started against the Bears on Saturday, Browns head coach Todd Monken detailed how he'll divide the QB reps between Watson and second-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders on Sunday.
