Should You Start or Sit Sanders in Week 15?
He wasn’t perfect, but putting up counting numbers in a spot where you’re supposed to put up counting numbers is certainly a good start.
Sanders threw for 364 yards and three scores against the Titans on Sunday (first two career starts, total: 358 yards and two touchdowns), adding a highlight seven-yard run that showcased his spatial awareness and competitive fire.
All great things. Also encouraging was the touch shown on the one-yard TD pass to David Njoku in the second quarter and his numbers against the blitz, a scheme he’s likely to see with regularity until he beats it consistently (five-of-eight for 59 yards and two touchdowns).
I’m not sold that there is value to chase on the ground, and I’m not sure the surrounding talent is enough to make him an option even in 2026 for our purposes. That said, I’m not here to knock progress, and he certainly looked more comfortable on Sunday than we’ve seen anyone at the position wearing this uniform in 2025.
