Raheim Sanders Week 17 Outlook - Steelers at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Dec 28th 2025, 12:35pm EST

Last week, Raheim Sanders took over the early down role for Cleveland, finishing with 12 touches and 46 total yards. Sanders didn't manage any explosive runs, but he had a 7% missed tackle rate and 2.86 yards after contact per attempt. Sanders is a risky flex with Sampson active. Since Week 12, Pittsburgh has allowed the 13th-most rushing yards per game, the seventh-highest explosive run rate, and the 13th-highest rushing success rate. Sanders could operate as the goalline back this week, which makes him a low-end touchdown-driven flex play.
