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.

Raheim Sanders ran five times for 26 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in the Browns' 20-18 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Sanders played second fiddle to Dylan Sampson in this game, having exactly half the touches as Sampson. If the Browns retain him for 2026, he's likely the RB3 and will have little value other than as a handcuff.
