Week 9 Shedeur Sanders Fantasy Start or Sit 2026

Should you start or sit Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints? PFN's Max Chadwick breaks down Sanders' fantasy football outlook following news that Deshaun Watson entered concussion protocol after Cleveland's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Watson's availability uncertain, Sanders could have an opportunity to make his first start of the 2026 season. Sanders showed flashes during his rookie campaign, including a standout performance against the Tennessee Titans in which he scored 34.5 fantasy points. Now Cleveland faces a New Orleans defense that has been relatively average against opposing fantasy quarterbacks. Could Sanders provide unexpected fantasy value if Watson is unavailable? How should managers approach his potential opportunity, especially in two-quarterback and superflex leagues? Chadwick examines PFN's Week 9 fantasy rankings, projections, and Cleveland's quarterback situation to help you make your lineup decision.
