News: 2 days agoDeshaun Watson will get the start in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears, while Sanders will draw the start in the team's Aug. 22 contest against the Bills.

Spin: Per coach Todd Monken, each quarterback will likely play a half during the team's first preseason game, as he wants to have both Watson and Sanders experience a two-minute situation Saturday. For now, Watson and Sanders -- who are listed as co-starters on the team's unofficial depth chart -- continue to share first-team practice reps, with Monken having yet to outline a timetable for selecting his Week 1 starter.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Sanders enters his second NFL season set to compete with Deshaun Watson for the Browns' starting quarterback gig. Sanders made eight appearances during his rookie season and wasn't overly productive, scoring eight all-purpose touchdowns, throwing 10 interceptions and completing 57% of his passes. The fifth-round pick produced one weekly fantasy finish better than 18th, though it was an impressive 364-yard passing game with four total touchdowns (33.5 points). Sanders added some value with his legs, including 20-plus yards in five straight games to end the season. The 24-year-old remains a wild card, and that's enough to make him worthy of late-round consideration in superflex leagues.
