Shedeur Sanders asked the Eagles and Ravens not to draft him as he did not want to be a longterm backup. Since then, Sanders has only started 7 games for Cleveland. In the same window, Lamar Jackson has missed 7 games and Jalen Hurts will miss atleast 13 by the end of this season.

Snoop Huntley, who signed with the Cleveland Browns alongside Shedeur in 2025, has now started 6 games for the Ravens. However, Lamar Jackson is reportedly healthy and set to return on Sunday vs the Bills.

Most notably, Jalen Hurts will miss the rest of the regular season following the discovery of blood clots. Along with a missed game last season, Jalen Hurts will total atleast 13 missed games for the Eagles from last season until the end of the 2026 season.

Shedeur Sanders, meanwhile, has started only 7 games (appearing in 10). Shedeur entered 2025 as QB3 for Cleveland, but was named QB2 for 2026 season - and has recorded 1 pass completed for 0 yards. Despite Shedeur's wishes, he has served as a backup quarterback during his time in Cleveland. It is likely that by the end of this season, Shedeur would've started more games if he'd gone to Philadelphia instead.

Not Kittles finest hour this past weekend vs the Falcons but nonetheless he recorded 8 out of 10 receptions now putting him the top 10 list of TE receptions surpassing Rob Gronkowski. Also worth noting if Kittle stays healthy he could potentially enter the top 5 in about 3 seasons. Kittle is currently 33 years old. This season he's already recorded 34 receptions and is on pace to make 82.5 receptions. He would need 33 receptions to equal Ozzie Newsome and move into the 9th spot.
