Raheim Sanders joins Cleveland off waivers from Los Angeles, bringing a versatile skill set—pass protection, power, speed, and elusiveness—to a Browns backfield now anchored by rookie Dylan Sampson and Quinshon Judkins, with Jerome Ford in the mix. Sanders emphasizes his fit, learning the playbook as Week 1 looms against Cincinnati, and could anchor a rookie-heavy rushing attack.

Sanders adds size and burst to the Browns backfield, offering a power-speed option behind Ford. His preseason 101 yards and 2 TDs with the Chargers hint at short-yardage and big-play ability that could translate into a rotational role in Cleveland.

Raheim Sanders, backfield competition remains intense; his roster exit reflects the Chargers’ crowded RB group and leaves room for incumbents and practice-squad candidates to absorb snaps.

Sanders was the odd man out in a backfield with notable depth. His cut creates a clearer path for Harris and the other backs, with Sanders potentially landing elsewhere for immediate opportunity if a roster spot opens later.

Sanders led the Chargers backfield with 13 carries for 48 yards, highlighting a usable early-down profile behind Eckler. His workload hints at a reliable depth option in the short term, with fantasy value contingent on offense efficiency and goal-line opportunities.
