Shedeur Sanders lands with the Cleveland Browns at pick 144 after telling the Baltimore Ravens he wouldn’t join a team with Lamar Jackson as starter. Baltimore passes on him to draft Carson Vinson, while Cleveland slots Sanders behind Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel, shaping a young-but-murky QB path in Week 2.

Baltimore keeps Jackson at the helm with Cooper Rush as the top backup, and Kenny Pickett moves to the Las Vegas Raiders, reshaping QB depth for both sides. For fantasy players, Sanders is a wait-and-watch asset with potential upside if development accelerates or injuries spark new opportunities in Cleveland.

Trey Lance’s Chargers arc flips from a roster casualty to a potential gadget-pivot, with Jim Harbaugh’s faith suggesting a special package could turn Lance’s mobility into real weekly upside. Herbert remains the anchor, but Lance could catalyze designer looks if called upon—especially in a playoff-minded Chargers setup.

Dallas kept Lance as QB3 after a preseason stint that highlighted his rushing floor and improvisational plays, while Harbaugh’s confidence hints at a future role that could materialize if Herbert’s health falters. Fantasy managers should monitor Chargers’ depth moves and any gadget-oriented packages that could juice Lance’s value.

Baltimore trimmed to a clean 53, balancing 25 on offense, 25 on defense, and 3 specialists. Lamar Jackson anchors the QB room with Cooper Rush backing him up; the backfield features Derrick Henry alongside Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, Rasheen Ali, and Ricard, giving a varied attack and kickoff duties to Ali and Mitchell. Hopkins joins Flowers, Bateman, Wallace, and Walker in a deep WR corps, while Andrews and Likely form a top-tier TE duo with Kolar in reserve.

Up front, Stanley, Vorhees, Linderbaum, Faalele, Noteboom, and Bullock steer the line, with Emery Jones Jr. on NFI. The defense is anchored by Roquan Smith and Trenton Simpson at ILB, with Van Noy, Oweh, Ojabo, and Green at the edges. Humphrey patrols the cornerback group with Wiggins and Alexander; Loop, Stout, and Moore handle specialists. Several rookies and UDFA candidates await snaps as the season unfolds.

Keyon Martin’s interception return and Tyler Loop’s 61-yard field goal underscored a dominant Ravens preseason, sealing a 30-3 win over Washington. With Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels idle, Baltimore leaned on a safety-first defense and a productive run game, highlighted by D’Ernest Johnson’s early score and Rasheen Ali’s 9-yard TD. Loop went 5-for-6 from 50-plus yards on the night as the Ravens showcased depth in all three phases. Washington’s offense stalled, while Jon Johnson’s end-zone pick capped the night for Baltimore’s defense.
