Raheim Sanders

Quinshon Judkins was carted off the field at the end of the first half after taking a gruesome hit to the knee. He broke his leg and will be out for the rest of the season.
Without him, the Browns turned to Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders. Classic case of Sanders operating as the early down/goal-line rusher with Williams playing on pass downs.
In the second half without Judkins, Sanders out-touched Williams 11-6. Williams is a journeyman player, whereas Sanders is a rookie with unknown upside (also the best bet to seize goal-line touches). Also, his role won't overlap with Dylan Sampson, should Sampson return next week. The team has said that he continues to get better after not practicing at all last week.
The pass-catching role is robust in the Browns' offense for RBs. Judkins was pacing for season highs in targets (6) and catches (5) before his injury. Williams also totaled four receptions of his own.

With Quinshon Judkins sustaining a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula on Sunday, and with Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford sidelined by injuries of their own, the Browns turned to rookie Raheim Sanders, aka "Rocket." After Judkins was injured, Sanders had 11 carries for 42 yards against the Bills, along with a four-yard catch. Ford is on injured reserve (IR). Sampson has been out with a hand injury, and it's unclear whether he'll return this week. If he can't, Sanders could be in line for a voluminous Week 17 workload against the Steelers. An undrafted free agent, Sanders had a 1,443-yard rushing season as a sophomore for Arkansas in 2022. He played only six games in 2023, then had a decent but unspectacular final college season after transferring to South Carolina. It's worth monitoring Sampson's status this week because if he's able to come back, he would most likely serve as the lead back. And even if Sampson remains out and Sanders is a workhorse against Pittsburgh this week, the myriad of injuries plaguing Cleveland's offensive line could limit Sanders' production.
