Shedeur Sanders will get the start at quarterback against the Bills in the Browns' second preseason game, but he may not have many other first-stringers in the lineup with him.
Todd Monken: We won't play most starters against Bills if joint practice goes well
Browns plan to limit starters in preseason game against Bills if joint practice goes well
Scoring Zone's Take
For draft purposes, don't overreact to this news. It doesn't affect Monken's fantasy value directly (he's a coach), and it doesn't materially move Sanders up your board — he remains a deep-league dynasty/rookie-draft speculative add at best until you see how the snap distribution actually shakes out in the joint practices and preseason game itself. Treat this as informational noise to monitor, not actionable intel yet.
Confidence here should stay moderate. The PFT report carries 80% confidence on the plan itself, but the outcome is explicitly conditional ("if joint practice goes well"), and the Yahoo source only rates 50% confidence. No roster or snap-count details have been confirmed. Bottom line: no add/drop action warranted; keep Sanders on your radar as a late-round dynasty stash and revisit his stock once actual preseason usage is reported.
